R&B crooner Usher has invited X Factorâs Cheryl Cole to accompany him on the UK leg of his âOMG Tour,â which will kick off in February 2011. Ursh reportedly wants to take Cole out on a date, for a typically British roast dinner if she agrees to take up his offer. Speaking to The Mirror He says, âCheryl is so pretty ⦠I spent a little time with her in England last month at The X Factor. Iâm sure sheâs gonna make it in the States. Sheâs got it going on.â Cole has been receiving a lot of recognition from U.S. artists, including pop star Rihanna. According to reports, Beyonceâs parents have forfeited their divorce after failing to appear in court. Tina Knowles filed the divorce papers in Texas last November (09) but TMZ reports a judge put a stop to the proceedings after a no-show from both parties. The powerhouse parents have been married for 29 years. Unlike pop star Will.I.Am, R&B singer Akon does not feel that Michael Jacksonâs forthcoming album, âMichael,â is disrespectful to the late King of Popâs legacy. Will.i.am recently told EW of the upcoming CD, âWhoever put it out and is profiting off of it, I want to see how cold they are ⦠He just wasnât any ordinary artist. He was a hands-on person. To me itâs disrespectful. Thereâs no honoring.â In contrary, Akon tells TMZ he âhonestly disagreesâ with the Black Eyed Peas frontman, adding, âI donât see anything disrespectful about it ⦠these albums would have come out if [MJ] was alive or dead so I think this helps to keep his legacy alive.â Akon also states that working with Michael on âHold My Handâ was a âdream come true ⦠it was epic.â
