Usher Didn't Know
Reports claim Usher didn't even know his wife was going to Brazil to have liposcution. It's also being reported that she lied to doctors about the birth of her last child claiming she'd given birth 4 months ago when her son is only two months old. We knew something was fishy when pictures of Usher leaving Brazil one day before his wife was released from the hospital after an eleven day stay surfaced. Wouldn't a more loving and concerned husband have waited and flown back with his wife? I'm just saying.

More From Jayson and Tonya

Tonya also accuses Jayson of punching out a car window while his kids sat inside the vehicle, and that he hurt himself after stumbling drunk into their daughters' room to argue with her.

Not Fair
It's not fair how bad Solange got mangled in the press after she passed out at LAX yesterday. I've been following Solange on Twitter for a while and she's been working her ass off doing shows from LA to New York and back, all the while fighting flu like symptoms. Though she'd been complaining of being sick for more than a week, she never once canceled a show and according to her tweets only rescheduled one interview. Anyway, Sol-Angel was on her way home on a NY to LA flight [that's six and half hours], after not having seen her son in over a week, and tweeted that she'd taken a NyQuil pill or two on the plane but still couldn't fall asleep. And it's true, her twits did get a bit loopy after that and then the next tweets were talking about, "Woke up to 8 random people over me, laid out on the floor in baggage claim!" She did not an OD on sizzup like it was reported all over the 'Net. The funniest part though was when she tweeted, "My mom is the best. LOL. She's like ain't nothing wrong with this girl, she need some water and rest... Pull up the car! LOL"
Did I just take up for Solange? I'm getting soft. Somebody kill me.
