Usher - Usher Denies Marriage Crisis

R+B superstar USHER has lashed out at reports he has separated from his wife TAMEKA FOSTER.

The Yeah! singer married stylist Foster last September (07), and the pair welcomed a son, Usher Raymond V, two months later (Nov07).

Online reports recently surfaced suggesting the couple split last month (Apr08), but the star's manager Benny Medina insists they are still together.

He says, "It's 100 per cent not true. Usher and Tameka are currently traveling in Europe together as a family on his promotional tour."

And Usher has backed up the denial, telling U.S. chatshow host Ellen DeGeneres on her show due to be aired on Friday (23May08), how his 5-month-old son and wife are the main focus of his attention.

He says, "My approach of life?he is my reason for living - outside of my wife, obviously, for helping me have him."

Foster has spoken out on several occasions of the difficulties she has faced since marrying the R+B hunk, telling America's Essence magazine last year (Dec07) how the singer's black female fans have made her life a misery.

She said, "We (black women) don't like ourselves...he has a black girl, and it's like, 'She's horrible and she's ugly!' OK, maybe I don't fit the cookie-cutter standard - 25 and a size two - but this is who he loves."

Norwegian duette Röyksopp remunerated for the cold climes of their native Tromsø by making some of the warmest, most inviting downbeat electronica of the new millenary, exemplified by early singles like Eple and Poor Leno. The mate, Torbjørn Brundtland and Svein Berge, both grew up in Tromsø and began transcription in the early '90s. Local-made-good Geir Jenssen (aka Biosphere) provided charge and virtually convinced the twosome to record for R&S sublabel Apollo. After a few days apart, Brundtland and Berge met up once more in Bergen and re-formed Röyksopp in 1998.


The group released a few singles on Tellé, then gestural up to the magnanimous beat label Wall of Sound. The Röyksopp debut was 2001's Eple single; both "Eple" and another cut ("Poor Leno") earned slots on over a xII chillout compilations that year or the following. Their get-go full-length, Melody A.M., appeared in late 2001. After disbursal a few days acting live and remixing artists including Beck and Annie, Röyksopp returned with new material in 2005: the exclusive Only if This Moment heralded the summer release of the duo's second gear album, The Understanding, which featured more traditionally structured songs than their earlier mould. The alive EP Röyksopp's Night Out appeared a yr after.
