You really didn’t think the release of Here I Stand signaled the end of Usher’s recording for the album, did you? Fans should look forward to plenty of remixes and collaborations on its inevitable special edition, though Usher’s indifference to all things not named Usher may have accidentally crushed the possibility of one artist he’d like to work with. “It would be nice to work with some British artists- be on the look out for remixes. I’m going to do a lot of unique stuff on this album. I’d like to do something with John Mayer on the song ‘Something Special.’ I’d love him to play piano.” So would his mom, I’m sure, but Mayer’s instrument of choice is the guitar, Ush. Though if there’s anyone who should feel slighted by Usher’s interview in RWD it’s ex-girlfriend Chilli from TLC, whose claims that she still loves the family man-of-the-moment receive one of the coldest smackdowns I’ve ever had the pleasure to read.

Chilli was quoted as saying you were the one she ‘truly did love. I’m not in love with him anymore, but I can’t say I don’t love him.’ Do you think it’s appropriate for her to make these comments considering you’re married with a child?

Usher: I mean, I think it’s a little unrealistic, I’m married (laughs), I’m not a boy. It’s been three years past, you know? But we all have unrealistic goals too. Like shoot, I will always forever love Katie Holmes and Halle Berry. I don’t feel anyway about it. It does appear maybe to be a plug for something. She got a record coming or something?

Oh snap! Who’s got it bad now, huh?
