No matter what their official title is, a coach, a judge or a mentor, how much are the celebrities really making to sit on the panel and crush the dreams and make the dreams of potential singers happen?

Usher leads the pack of nominees for the 2012 Soul Train Awards with five nominations, including Album of the Year for 'Looking 4 Myself.' Following behind Usher is R&B songbird Estelle with three nods including Song of the Year ('Thank You').

Just a couple of days after American Idol issued a statement on their judging line up for its next season, it appears as if there's going to be a change in the vocal coaches on The Voice.  The show's current season debuted last week, but according to published reports, Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green will be leaving the show when the current season ends.

The next season of 'The Voice' will have a much different dynamic. Coaches Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green won't be returning for the spring season, being replaced by Shakira and Usher!

Usher is ready to give his confessions to Oprah Winfrey. The former talk-show queen will have a sit down with the embattled R&B crooner in a no-holds-barred interview. The 'Climax' singer has been reclusive for the past few weeks, so this will be an interesting conversation to watch.

Following Usher‘s surprising custody win, his ex wife Tameka Foster wasted no time announcing her plans to appeal the judge’s decision. Just when you thought the drama was over!

Despite Usher‘s request to delay his custody hearing over sons Usher Raymond V, 4, and Naviyd, 3, to allow he and ex wife Tameka Foster to mourn the death of his stepson in a tragic jet skiing accident, a judge ruled that the hearing will go on as scheduled — and as Foster wished.

- Our thoughts are with Usher and his family today as his 11-year-old stepson Kile Glover was laid to rest in private ceremony in Atlanta today (Friday, July 27). Glover was removed from life support after he was hit by a jet ski while floating on an inner tube on Lake Lanier in Atlanta.

In a heartbreaking turn of events, Usher‘s stepson, Kile Glover, may be taken off of life support.

Summer’s only barely begun, but Usher is probably ready for it to be over. Between having his very own stalker, enduring custody battles with ex-wife Tameka Foster, and the sad news that her 11-year-old stepson is brain-dead after a tragic accident, the R&B singer certainly seems to have a black cloud hanging over his handsome head. But at least that “stalker” business may be behind him — the

Usher is calm under pressure or perhaps he was just fearing for his life and remained as quiet as possible for safety reasons. You can listen to the singer’s 911 call to the authorities on June 24, which he placed when a delusional female fan who claimed to be his wife was found wandering (aka trespassing) on his property in Georgia.

Poor Usher. He can barely catch a break with his actual ex-wife Tameka Foster, as the two are in the middle of a custody battle over their two sons after she claimed he was a terrible father. But now the singer has to deal with a crazed woman claiming to be married to him.  That s— cray. (Are people still saying that?)
