USHER FIX

After recovering from an illness this past weekend, Justin Bieber was back at it last night last night for his concert at New York’s Madison Square Garden. The 16-year-old pop phenom came bearing gifts. MTV reports that things began as they usually have during Bieber’s My World tour, with Jessica Jarrell and Sean Kingston opening.

But along with Bieber’s set came some  surprises. First was veteran R&B group Boyz II Men, who did an a cappella of their “On Bended Knee” with the Biebs. Next came Usher to perform their collaboration off of My World 2.0, “Somebody To Love.” Then fellow teen icon Miley Cyrus took the stage for “Overboard,” followed by Will Smith’s son, Jaden, who sang “Never Say Never.”

Taping for his 2011 3-D biopic, Bieber certainly pulled out all the stops yesterday.

After R&B stars Chris Brown and Usher made headlines a few weeks ago by appearing together on stage during Usher’s performance in Jamaica, many have questioned whether or not the duo are planning to take their act on tour.

Although producer Bryan-Michael Cox tempted fans by dropping “some exclusive [expletive]” that Brown and Usher were going to tour, he later tweeted that he didn’t know that information for sure. (“It would be dope, tho[ugh],” Cox added.)

Brown also fueled the speculation by tweeting, “What would you guys say if me and Usher went on tour?”

But according to Usher’s camp, this is all just talk – for now, at least. “There are no plans at this time for Usher and Chris Brown to tour together,” reps for the 31-year-old singer said. Brown’s reps said ditto with the statement: “There is no confirmed Chris Brown and Usher tour at this time.”

Perhaps they’re just waiting to see how badly fans want it. Brown tweeted Wednesday, “Would you pay to see an Usher and Chris Brown concert/tour,” followed by, “RT #CBUSHERTOUR if u want it to happen.” Lo and behold, at the time of this posting, #cbushertour was a trending topic.

What do you think – yay or nay to the thought of a C. Breezy/Usher tour?

Bryan-Michael Cox slipped some exciting information while hanging out with Jermaine Dupri.
 
During a recent appearance on JD’s “Living The Life” web series, Bryan was recapping all the amazing things that his famous friends are up to. After plugging Trey Songz and Monica’s tour, he leaked some information about another road show.
 
“Usher and the boy Chris Brown going on tour. Y’all know that, right?” Bryan said. “I might have just gave y’all some exclusive sh*t!”!
 
Unfortunately, that’s all the info he dished on the tour, but we can’t wait to hear more about it.  There’s no word yet on when the tour will start or what cities Usher and Chris might stop in.
 
To see what else Bryan had to say, peep the video below.

Ciara has said that she would like to collaborate on a track with Usher so the pair can have a dance-off in the video.

The singer, whose new album is called Basic Instinct, admitted that she also wants to work with Fergie as well as the R&B superstar on her next record.

She told OK: “If I could work with anyone it would be either Fergie or Usher. I love Fergie, I love her attitude.

“When it comes to Usher, it’d be fun to see us dance together – a dance-off would be really fun. He’s an incredible performer and I really respect what he does.

“I appreciate it and think it would be really fun to do it together.”
 

Basic Instinct is out on October 5.
