Remember Usher’s smash hit 2004 album, Confessions? From it spun one of our all-time favorite Usher singles, “Bad Girl,” which was a major bump! But, it appears that one of the song’s original creators wasn’t given his due – or his check. A Philadelphia court sided with Daniel Marino, who claimed he was never compensated for composing part of the music on the song. Marino was awarded over $44 million in damages, but don’t you worry about Usher’s coins. He wasn’t actually named in the suit at all.
Real Housewives of Atlanta star Nene Leakes announced to fans in June that her husband Greg Leakes had been diagnosed with cancer. Leakes, 50, recently opened up for the first time about how his diagnosis has changed their lives and their marriage. For starters, she’s now a pescatarian and he’s become a vegan. Leakes admitted to feeling lost and alone at times and said that their ordeal has changed her approach to family in a more positive way.
