Usher to Miss Jones: I’m Only Talking About the Fragrance

Usher is in NY promoting his new fragrances, creatively named, “Usher for Men” and “Usher for Women.” This afternoon he’ll be at Macy’s Herald Square to spray people down, so he called up Hot 97’s Miss Jones to get the word out. Of course Miss Jones had little interest in his fragrance/perfume, she wanted scoop on all the gossip that’s surrounded him over the last six months.

So I hear Miss Jones and confrontation and was all ready to hate (because I don’t like her), but there was nothing wrong about it. She was really asking the question that’s been on people’s minds.

His publicist kept jumping in saying, just the fragrance, just the fragrance. At one point he just got quiet. I’m thinking, “You know what show you called, what did you expect?”

Then it just got comical, Usher tells one of her people..
“Do you know me? .. You wouldn’t even be approaching me like this if you did.”

Haha. What’s that supposed to mean? He’s sending out a hit squad? Usher’s gangsta like that or is it the star mentality, where they’re so used to people sprinkling rose petals at their feet, when they hear anything other than “Yessir” it knocks them off their feet?

Usher did act like he wanted to answer her questions, laughing a lil and what not, but if he really did just want to talk about the fragrance, don’t call the gossip romper room. You need the publicity that bad?

Put her on the Wendy Williams list. Wendy can’t seem to get anyone in her studio because they KNOW she’s not gonna stick to a publicist’s line of questioning.

Did I say I don’t like Miss Jones? Usher’s bad decision aside that must be said.

I heard the interview at http://www.globalgrind.com.  It was entertaining to say the least.  Usher was not trying to answer any questions about his recent marriage, but of coarse Miss Jones wasn’t trying to hear that.  She spent half of the interview trying to get some info about his new wife.  The highlight is when Usher got fed up and called the radio show cast “ignorant”.  lol.  Jeez, Usher just wanted to talk about his perfume!

Too funny Chris “creatively called Usher for men and Usher for women”. He will be on Oprah with the full story once his next album drops. I think what is comical is that Usher wants to be a snob and an elitist he is a mega star, top selling R&B;album, played in the Broadway production of Chicago. But then he still wants to be gansta and “keep it real” and go on Miss Jones. WTF. He and his PR team should avoid her and Wendy like the plague. Promote that on the Today show and spray those people in Times Square. Idiots!
