Usher Refuses To Pimp Out His Son For Money
UPDATE: CRAP CRAP CRAP. Why did he have to turn out to be a Scientologist??? I am seriously ticked off.
I suppose I need to do a search every time I write a story about a celeb to see if they belong to the CoS or not.
However, I won’t delete the article because the essence of it is truth.
YES! A celebrity who isn’t accepting money for shots of their baby. Usher, who posed for FREE with his son for the upcoming cover of Essence magazine, said there’s no way he’d pimp out his kid for cash:
FINALLY, there’s one celebrity who refuses to cash in on parenthood by selling baby pictures to a magazine. “In no way would I ever pimp out my child for money,” Usher told Page Six.
The pop singer - upset by rumors he was trying to sell photos of his infant son, Usher Raymond V, and eager to defend his wife, Tameka, and his upcoming album, “Here I Stand” - wants to set the record straight.
“I am livid that people talk about my child,” Usher told us. In fact, he has posed - for free - with his son for an “incredible” Father’s Day cover for Essence magazine.
“What makes you a man more than being a father to your child? I recognize I gave anonymity away when I became an artist, but to have people try to paint a horrible picture of what’s so beautiful - it’s obvious someone is trying to stop something so beautiful.”
Now there is a celebrity who’s ideas I can totally get behind. What he said about anonymity is so true…Usher chose this lifestyle, as so many celebs do, but their kids don’t choose it. Seriously, he could teach people like Jennifer Lopez and Christina Aguilera and Nicole Richie and Denise Richards and all the other so-called “stars” who whore out their kids for dough a thing or two.
And true…even though Brangelina donated the money they got for the pics of Shiloh to charity (and probably will do the same with shots of the pending baby), the offer of money was still made and they still took it. Donating the money isn’t wrong…being offered millions of dollars for a shot of a BABY is wrong. What makes these magazine editors think that a shot of a celeb baby is more important than shots of any other baby in the world, that they have to offer millions of dollars for it?
Oh yeah, the gullibility of the public to swallow any pablum they decide to shove at us and to feed the egos of the celebrities. What was I thinkin’?
