Tuesday Tales

Singer Chris Brown has made it clear that the new tattoo he's just gotten, which looks similar to ex-girlfriend Rihanna's is not Rihanna. I'm not certain how the rumor began, but Brown dispelled it in a hurry. R&B star Usher has won custody of his two children with ex-wife Tameka Foster. It's unclear whether Foster will appeal the decision by the judge. In the meantime, Usher still has another legal matter to tend to. He's been caught up in a lawsuit by two song writers who claim they wrote then played the composition Caught Up for record executives and it ended up on Usher's album. The single appeared on Usher's 2004 album, "Confessions". We'll see what happens. President Obama isn't making much of the recent supposed endorsement of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney by rapper Nicki Minaj. During a recent interview, the President didn't seem fazed by the line in Lil Wayne's single "Mercy", where Minaj states she's voting for Mitt Romney. He stated his daughters don't listen to Minaj and she's not on his or the First Lady's radar. Minaj, meanwhile, took to Twitter to thank the President for understanding her humor and sarcasm. Guess that means we won't be seeing Minaj on any upcoming Romney campaign stops anytime soon.  Don't expect to see rapper Jay Z at any Occupy Wall Street rallies anytime soon. During an interview with New York Times magazine, Hova stated he's not sure what the movement is about and wonders what the protesters want. Simon Cowell may no longer be a judge on "American Idol", but he still has the inside scoop on the show apparently. He recently wrote the Randy Jackson will return to the show, although it's been rumored he'll be moved to a mentor role. Two confirmed judges for the show are Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj. It's been rumored that several people are in the running for the third judge role, including Keith Urban and Kenny Chesney. We'll have to wait and see what happens. On DVD: "Titanic", "Snow White & The Huntsman", "What To Expect When You're Expecting" and "Harry Potter Wizard's Collection". Rapper DMX releases his new album today, and rapper Ludacris celebrates birthday # 35 with a new release as well. On the tube: "So You Think You Can Dance" on Fox, "NCIS" on CBS, "The Middle" on ABC and 'The Voice" on NBC. Happy Tuesday!
