Usher is one of the most famous singers in the world with hits like “You Make Me Wanna,” “Yeah!” and “You Don’t Have to Call” to name a few. He dropped his first album three decades ago and has become one of the most influential figures in contemporary R&b and pop music. In 2024, the “My Boo” artist added Super Bowl halftime performer to his résumé.

As for his life away from the stage, Usher has been in a relationship with music industry executive Jenn Goicoechea since 2019. Here’s more about the pair including their age difference and how many children they have.

Usher and Goicoechea’s age difference

Usher Raymond IV was born in Dallas to parents Jonnetta Patton and Usher Raymond III on Oct. 14, 1978.

Goicoechea is from Atlanta, Georgia. Her mother, Barbara Kearney Goicoechea, is of Italian descent and her father is Puerto Rican. Like Usher, Goicoechea...

Larry Barron, a veteran unscripted producer and executive, passed away suddenly on December 24. He was believed to be 55.

Barron co-created and executive produced alongside Mark Burnett, Ben Newmark and Dan Newmark the 2016 Fox reality series Coupled. He co-created and exec produced with Bill Diggins and Rozonda ‘Chilli’ Thomas the 2010 VH1 unscripted series What Cilli Wants, starring Thomas, and also co-created/executive produced the Gsn shows Idiotest and Emogenius. What Chilli Wants stems from Barron’s four-year stint as SVP at FremanteMedia.

In 2002-03, Barron served as a producer on CBS’ The Amazing Race, a co-executive producer on Fox’s Paradise Hotel and a consultant on Upn’s America’s Top Model. He then segued to the executive ranks as VP of alternative programs for Upn, overseeing development and day-to-day production of reality series for the network.

“Every time I’ve worked with Larry, he brought a valuable ‘big picture’ perspective...

A documentary special on the R&b group TLC is coming to A&e next year.

The two-hour special, titled Biography: TLC, will chronicle the journey of the top-selling girl group throughout their career in the Nineties and beyond, featuring interviews with surviving members T-Boz and Chilli. Biography: TLC will be directed by Matt Kay, and executive-produced by Roger Ross Williams (The Apollo) and his production company with Geoff Martz, One Story Up.

“The Biography banner has always focused on telling the stories of remarkable people who have had a major impact on our collective culture,...

VH1 has ordered a new reality series “Girls Cruise” starring Lil’ Kim. The rapper will also executive produce the series for Big Fish Entertainment. The show will also star Chilli from the 1990s girls group TLC, as well as international pop star Mýa, Pretty Vee and B. Simone of MTV’s “Wild N’ Out,” and their longtime best friends Tiffany and Char.

Lil’ Kim, whose legal name is Kimberly Denise Jones, made history as the first woman in hip-hop to have three consecutive Billboard #1 singles.

If you have fond (or nightmare-inducing) memories of the dizzying heights, creepy spiders, and insane stunts featured on Fear Factor, then you may be pleased to hear that MTV is reviving the former NBC series for a 12-episode reboot hosted by Ludacris.

Fear Factor will return on Tuesday, May 30th on MTV. For more information, we have the official press release with full details below. Will you be tuning in this summer to face your fears vicariously?

Press Release: New York, NY (April 12, 2017) – MTV today announced it will give viewers the chance to conquer their fears head on with a refresh of the break-through series “Fear Factor.” Ludacris will host the new installment, custom-created for a generation that is increasingly empowered, while also more anxious than ever. Ludacris will also serve as executive producer on the project as part of an overarching deal with MTV. Filled with new stunts inspired by urban legends,...

One of summer’s guiltiest pleasures is no more.

ABC has decided to pull the plug on Mistresses, making the Season 4 finale, which aired on Sept. 6th, now a series finale.

Executive producer Rina Mimoun had told TVLine that she’d hoped for one more season to wrap things up, “There’d be some new hot messes in the mix, and we’d be moving back toward the kind of racy romp that Mistresses was when it began.”

Unfortunately, that’s not going to happen with Mistresses finding the end of the road long before the characters were ready to get out of the car.

That romp included everything from husbands back from the dead, affairs, accidents, threesomes, babies, and murder. The show was a soapy roller coaster ride from beginning to end.

The show was originally based on the U.K. series by the same name but took on a life all its own.

No one was expecting Jurassic World to enter the box office with a whimper, but it came as a surprise to pretty much everyone – including producer Frank Marshall, as revealed during a recent press interview for Jason Bourne – when it roared into theaters so loudly that it became not only the second-highest grossing movie of last year but the fourth biggest of all time.

“No, I wasn’t [prepared for the numbers],” Marshall said. “That’s the honest truth. I was hoping to open at 100, they were projecting 100 which is huge, and that would’ve be the biggest opening for a movie that I’ve produced, but we pretty much doubled my expectations [Laughs] at every turn.”

With all those zeroes attached to the movie’s total haul, it’s not that shocking that Universal is eagerly moving forward with a sequel, currently just known as Jurassic World 2. According to Marshall, director Juan Antonio Bayona...

Can you imagine what it would be like to start dating the celebrity you had a crush on as a kid? While most people's dreams of shacking up with Leonardo DiCaprio or having a candlelit dinner with Justin Timberlake are only a fantasy, Nick Cannon has apparently aimed to make his childhood infatuation, TLC's Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, a reality. A source told E! News that in the wake of Nick's return to singledom, the America's Got Talent host, 35, has started romancing Chilli, 45. "Nick and Chilli [have] been hanging out on the low," they said. "[They've] been friends for some time and just recently this summer they have been hanging out romantically." The source also revealed that "Nick has always had a crush on her growing up. He thinks she is beautiful." So sweet! Both Nick and Chilli are no strangers to engaging in high-profile relationships, with Nick splitting from Mariah Carey in...

It’s interesting to watch cable networks figure out who they are, especially when they aren’t networks that build their space with their name. Things like Syfy and ABC Family tell you where you are (though it doesn’t work as well for History or TLC – seriously, “Learning”), but a lot of other networks have to squirm around a bit to figure out what their skin really feels like. I’m sure that they have theories going in, but mostly they throw out a few shows, figure out which ones actually become popular, and then try to figure out more shows that “seem like they’d be on the same channel.” There’s a certain “radio station” mentality going on behind-the-scenes, because the people who run networks want people to be a fan of the network itself, not just a show or two.

This is how you get to...

When The Real World first debuted on MTV in 1992, the concept of a show that sent a group of obnoxious strangers to live together in a house with their every action caught on tape was groundbreaking. The weird, voyeuristic night-vision footage of people canoodling! The confessionals that were clearly scripted by the producers! The weird fights inserted for dramatic effect, ranging from stealing someone’s peanut butter or sleeping with someone’s significant other! Since then, we’ve been treated to multiple variations on this theme, including Big Brother (the competitive version), Jersey Shore (the spray-tanned version) and Party Down South (the southern-fried version). Clearly, television producers are running out of ways to make this tired concept seem fresh and exciting. Lo and behold, TLC is here, with an answer: let’s make the housemates Amish.

Like many girls, actress and singer Keke Palmer grew up dreaming of meeting a prince who would whisk her away to a life of love and happiness. In her case, it's going to happen -- eight shows a week on Broadway.

Palmer said she'll be stepping into the title role in Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella starting Sept. 9 at the Broadway Theatre. She will become the first African-American to play the part on the Great White Way.

"It's honestly one of those things that I can't believe is really happening," Palmer said by phone Friday from her Los Angeles home. "I'm very excited. Very excited and nervous as well -- a bunch of feelings all at once."

1. Oprah, Kim K. Send Leno Off In Song

Billy Crystal led a group of Jay Leno's star-studded friends in song as the host bid "so long, farewell" to The Tonight Show (again).

Performing to the tune of The Sound Of Music's Farewell Song, Jack Black, Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey, Jim Parsons, Sheryl Crow, Carol Burnett and Chris Paul all showed up to say goodbye. "So long farewell, last night I told my folks, now I won't be the butt of Leno's jokes," Kim, 33, sang.

Oprah, 60, rounded out the musical, singing, "You really raised the bar. If you were me, you'd buy them all a car!"

It was an emotional farewell for Leno, who broke down in tears upon giving his farewell to the show, but still managed to get in some jokes. "Tonight is our last show for real. See I don't need to be fired three times. I...

What can you say about a massively popular, celebrated band like TLC that hasn’t already been said? VH1 is attempting to answer that question by gifting the world with a made-for-tv biopic to add to their impressive roster of TLC-themed entertainment, which at this point includes the band’s episode of Behind the Music and the documentary The Last Days of Left Eye. CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story follows Left Eye (Lil Mama), T-Boz (Drew Sidora), and Chili (Keke Palmer) as they navigate their rise to fame and success in the music industry. I can only assume they’re going to milk Lil Mama’s amazing Left Eye impression for everything it’s worth and address her tragic death near the end of the movie as well. The film looks like a campy good time, if not a bit cheesy. Hey, this is VH1 we’re talking about. These are the good people who bring you...

VH1 has just released the trailer for its much-anticipated TLC biopic, "Crazy Sexy Cool: The TLC Story."  The film, which follows the career of Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, and Rozanda "Chili" Thomas," follows the girl's rise to fame, financial troubles, and Lopes's tragic death.  The name of the film comes from the group's most popular album which spawned hits like "Waterfalls" and "Creep." VH1 is no stranger to the story of the megafamous R&B group's story.  The TLC episode of "Behind the Music" was a cultural phenomenon upon its release, as was the documentary "The Last Days of Left Eye."  Rapper Lil Mama is already getting credit for her stellar Left Eye impression.  Keke Palmer ("Akeelah and the Bee") plays Chili, and Drew Sidora plays "T-Boz." Check out the slightly cheesy trailer, which features a lot of lipsynching to "No Scrubs," and some inspirational one-liners.  To get your fix,...

Honey Boo Boo has retired from pageants.

Mama June told In Touch the family still goes to pageants to cheer along their pageant friends.

The family's original appearance on "Toddlers & Tiaras" scored them their own spinoff series, "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," which was a ratings champ for TLC during its first season.

Could viewers of "Toddlers & Tiaras" (Wed., 9 p.m. Et on TLC) have witnessed the genesis of the next-generation Beyonce? Probably not, but that didn't stop 7-year old Casey from bringing her best to a dance number inspired by "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)."

Despite this being only her fifth pageant, Casey had confidence and charisma to spare. In fact, she was docked a bit from the judges for being a bit too over-the-top and bouncy during the beauty portion of the competition. But her dancing absolutely blew them away.

Casey went into the competition determined to win Ultimate Grand Supreme and she did just that. But perhaps even more importantly for the miniature diva, she also scored herself a talent agent based on her performance. If she can sing the song as well as she danced to it, she may well be on her way to becoming Beyonce...

Is anyone actually learning anything from The Learning Channel anymore? It seems the only things they teach anymore are stereotypes. The former educational network has offered programs about parents who have a lot of children, people who bake pastries and the revolting world of youth beauty pageants, but these shows are not exposés; they don’t attempt to change anyone’s minds. Instead, they provide comforting portrayals of people we’ve already made our minds up about.

A new opportunity to point and laugh presents itself December 18th in the form of Geek Love, a new show about speed dating events that are specifically designed for sci fi/fantasy fanatics and take place at conventions. Founder Ryan Glitch, in the extended trailer for the show, pronounces that “the bar scene doesn’t work for them,” as if Geeks are some strange breed of creature that couldn’t hope to thrive the way “normal” people do.

VH1 is the latest basic cable network to get into the TV movie business this year, following similar forays by TNT, Cmt, Bet and, to some extent, USA Network. VH1 is planning a series of biopics about musicians and pop culture icons. First off is a movie about the 1990s R&B/hip-hop/pop trio TLC. The two surviving members of the group, Chilli and Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, will serve as consultants and executive produce with Bill Diggins and Maggie Malina. Kate Lanier (What’s Love Got To Do With It) has signed on to write the movie. VH1 ventured into scripted programming earlier this year with the series Single Ladies, which was kicked off by a two-hour movie.

We asked and you responded like crazy!

Over the last week or so, we polled you guys about your favorite MTV Video Music Awards moments and boy did you let us know who your favorites were in categories like Most Iconic Vma Performance, Best Video of the 2000s and Best Pop Performance!

All told, we received a staggering 15 million votes in nine categories. By far the most heated contest came in the Most Iconic Vma Moment poll, where we received nearly 10 million votes … and over 9 million of those were split between two acts – Michael Jackson and Bon Jovi. That’s right! Fan groups for the two classic MTV artists got crazy competitive, but ultimately Mj prevailed, taking just over 57 percent of the vote. The late King of Pop’s 1995 Vma performance also took the crown for Best Vma Pop Performance.

There were plenty of surpises too. Panic! At The Disco...

With the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards just days away, we’re starting to get really excited.

This year’s Video of the Year race has to be one of the most unpredictable in recent memory. Let’s be real for a second: There were a bunch of great videos last year too, but Lady Gaga’s iconic “Bad Romance” clip kind of had it in the bag from the get-go, right? But this year, everybody is bringing something so different to the table that we have no idea which way it will go!

Don’t forget to vote for your favorite at the VMAs’ website. We have to admit, it was darn near impossible to choose between Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep,” the Beastie Boys’ “Make Some Noise,” Bruno Mars’ “Grenade,” Katy Perry’s “Firework” and Tyler, The Creator’s “Yonkers.” Somehow we made a decision and now it’s your turn!

Before we begin, let's provide a bit of background for those just tuning in to the show.

For the uninitiated, W13 is a top secret facility in South Dakota which houses rare and dangerous artifacts, such as Lewis Carroll's looking glass, Robin Hood's crossbow, and Michele Bachmann's brain stem.

Secret Service Agents Myka Bering (Joanne Kelly) and Pete Lattimer (Eddie McClintock) are assigned to retrieve the supernatural items, with help from Warehouse director Mrs. Frederic (Cch Pounder), agent-in-charge Artie (Saul Rubinek), and hot flame-haired tech geek Claudia (Allison Scagliotti).

This season also saw the debut of new agent Steve Jinks (Aaron Ashmore), who has the ability to tell when someone is lying, and is the first recurring gay character on Syfy since Caprica's Sam Adama.

This week's episode of Warehouse 13 once again relegates Steve to the "B" story, which is fine, since it's more entertaining than the "A" story.

Four-year old Allyson is a huge fan of Beyoncé. But it's more than just a love of her music, confidence and style that attracts the pageant princess on 'Toddlers & Tiaras' (Wed., 10Pm Et on TLC). Allyson is in love with the color of Beyoncé's skin.

As her mother explains, Allyson only buys "brown" dolls, and isn't even happy with her own skin tone.

"I like tanning so that I can get brown like Beyoncé," Allyson said. "I wanna be just brown."

When she got her spray tan and saw the darker tone on her skin, she was so happy she started singing 'Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)' right there on the spot. Sure, it's a little strange, but at four years old, she knows what she likes and it's kind of adorable how devoted she is to the whole idea of brown.

Good new, everybody! Well, maybe not for everybody but for some of you anyway! Misery night has returned! Yes, now you can spend your summer evenings watching hoarders and addicts fight with their families, tell heartbreaking stories of abandonment and abuse, frustratingly resist help, and finally show some small amount of progress such that you get your hopes up for them before finally realizing that most of these people will backslide within a month or two. Aren't you thrilled!?! I'm sure there are those of you who are, either because you like the show or because watching "Hoarders" keeps your apartment/house in tip-top shape because watching it gives you the screaming heebies. Here's your Monday night TV:

Lady GaGa and Beyonce Knowles, who served as guest mentors on a previous separate week of "American Idol", were two of the many musical guests at the finale of the singing competition on May 25. The former was bathed in blue lights as she performed "The Edge of Glory", while the latter belted out a live version of "1+1" with red lights and smoke surrounding her.

Appearing high atop the stage, GaGa was dressed in a long cape and a bedazzled headpiece which has chains hanging on it. The Mother Monster delivered the first verse of the song before ditching the headpiece to reveal a warrior-type outfit. Halfway through the performance, she was joined by saxophonist Clarence Clemons of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band.

As for Beyonce, the R&B diva sang piano-led ballad "1+1" in a solo set, showcasing a stunning vocal performance. "This is my favorite song," she said of...

A record 122 million people voted, and this year’s “American Idol” winner is Scotty McCreery.

Lauren Alaina is the runner-up.

But the night was as much about which teen took the title as it was about the A-list-ish performers who dazzled the two-hour grand finale at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles.

Either way, a teenage country singer was going to take home the season 10 "American Idol" crown Wednesday night (May 25), it was just a matter of whether it was Scotty McCreery or Lauren Alaina.

After Tuesday night's final performance episode, Fox announced that more than 122 million votes poured in, marking a new record in "Idol" history, bringing the season total to more than 730 million votes. And while Scotty looked like the unbeatable favorite, there was some doubt going into the finale, thanks to Lauren's gutsy performance just 24 hours before and her knockout delivery of what could have been her "Idol" coronation tune, "Like My Mother Does."

Two hours into the final show, Seacrest finally got the golden envelope, and McCreery and Alaina gave each other a playful,...

"Sarah Palin's Alaska," an eight-week series sort-of chronicling the life of former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her family, premiered Sunday night (Nov. 14) on Tlc. What did you think?

First off, we don't think the show is a actually a real depiction of the Palins' life in any given summer in Alaska. Do they really jet around fishing for salmon and hiking Mt. McKinley like the rest of us might go to the pool or see a movie? Maybe they do -- but we are skeptical.

Compare this to the other latest Tlc hit "Sister Wives" -- we believe that the five-week showcase on that program really did show a typical few months in the lives of Kody Brown and his brood. "Alaska," by contrast, seemed a little forced.

Secondly, we could've done without the few random pointed political comments, like using the Palins' erection of...

I got a package today and of course my immediate concern is not actually what I ordered. That was something totally mundane yet necessary that isn't really fun at all (rosin for my bass bow) but it came in bubble wrap and now I won't be productive for the whole rest of the day. Just now as I was reading over tonight's listings and thinking about what to write I had picked it up and had started at a corner and was popping down and outwards. Then I hit a few of those little bubbles that don't pop with a satisfying "snap!" noise but just kind of piffle out and it made me sad. Anyway, it led me to think that some group on my campus should sponsor a study break where they just buy a giant roll of bubble wrap, the kind with big super fat bubbles, and unroll...
