Coffee Talk: Usher Wants to Design Lingerie

Here's what's got us talking this morning -- Your next negligee could be designed by Usher. Whoopi Goldberg defends Mel Gibson, saying he is not a racist. The NBA fined the Cavaliers owner for his remarks about LeBron James. And Kitty Kelly's Oprah biography is being turned into a biopic. Here's what you had to say: LaShaunda commented via Facebook: "Just because [Mel Gibson] said the word does not make him a racist. I am sure everyone on here has said a word that is considered racist but does that make you one? No." Elaine wrote via Facebook: "Just because someone does not do something in your presence doesn't mean they don't do it. It's called hidden racism."
