Usher , Here I Stand
Herald rating: * * *Label: Sony BMGVerdict: Usher hides some diamonds under a mountain of roughSomewhere, in here, a good record lurks. But trying to hear it amid the mammoth collection of schmaltz, continuous ooohs and woohs, and overly sexed-up lyrics is a challenge.It's been four years since Usher conquered the charts with Confessions, so it's understandable he wanted the follow-up to be worthwhile. But quantity is no substitute for quality. And despite the 18-track offering, Here I Am is an underwhelming experience.After a chorus-less cabaret opener, completely out of keeping with the rest of the record, Usher appears to have sex on the brain, as he coos and croons about wanting to have sex on the dance floor (Love in the Club), making "moments" (This Ain't Sex) and role playing (Trading Places), complete with some of the most cringe-worthy lyrics in recent history.Having apparently vented his sexual frustrations in the first four tracks, Usher moves on to higher - and better ground - though never abandoning the theme completely. Tracks such as What's Your Name, with Will.i.am, and Before I Met You may not be as overtly sexual but still slather on the seduction with a trowel.
Usher finds redemption in The Dream-produced Moving Mountains, Motown funk of Something Special and beautiful piano-driven His Mistakes - if you can be bothered listening long enough to find them.

Owen Wilson pays stripper $100 for lap dance
Owen Wilson reportedly paid a stripper $100 for a lap dance in a Philadelphia strip club to help him get over his latest split from Kate Husdon.
The ‘Wedding Crashers’ actor, who split from Hudson earlier this month, was seen partying with topless strippers that looked like his on-off girlfriend.
A source said: “He spent four and a half hours at Rick’s Cabaret and was in an upbeat mood.
“He watched the flyers games, drank beer and when a parade of 75 half-naked girls caught his eye, he asked for dances from several and definitely had a preference for blondes. He tipped at least one with a $100 bill.”

Madonna - Madonna Stunned By Sexual Cleansing Ritual
Pop superstar MADONNA was left shocked and appalled by a bizarre sex ritual which young widows in Malawi have to go through after their husbands die - because it fuels the spread of Aids in the country.
In her new documentary I Am Because We Are, Madonna chronicles the plight of the people in the African nation, where she adopted her son David in 2006, and she admits some local customs left her feeling sick.
In one segment of the harrowing new film, the star reveals a young widow is forced to have sex three times with a stranger from outside her village as part of a cleansing ritual.
She says, "When this woman's husband dies of Aids, she is required by the village head tribal chief to go through this sexual cleansing.
"Until she does, basically the village is, like, at a standstill. And, if she refuses to do it, she will be ostracised by everyone."

Mischa Barton to arrive in Belfast tonight
Former 'OC' star Mischa Barton is due to arrive in Belfast tonight for the world premiere of one of the biggest movies to be filmed in the city.
The glamorous Hollywood star, who played troubled teenager Marissa Cooper in 'The OC', will join Oscar winners Richard Attenborough and Shirley MacLaine at the premiere of the romantic wartime epic 'Closing the Ring' tomorrow night in the city.
The movie, directed by Attenborough, was shot in Belfast last year and tells the tragic story of a ring found on a hill overlooking the city 50 years after an American B-17 bomber crashed there.
Spanning two continents and over five decades, it emerges the last dying wish of the gunner was that he wanted the ring returned to his girlfriend in America.
Oscar winner Brenda Fricker and acclaimed actors Pete Postlethwaite, Neve Campbell and Christopher Plummer are also among the cast.
The film is loosely-based on real events surrounding the crash of an American bomber which was returning to its base in Nutts Corner near Antrim.
The movie, part of which is set in North Carolina, was also filmed in Toronto.
The securing of the movie was a major coup for the Northern Ireland Film and Television Commission which has since been able to attract a number of high profile screen projects to the city by converting an old paint hall in Belfast docks into the Titanic Film Studio.
Bill Murray and Tim Robbins shot the children's science fiction epic 'City of Ember' in Belfast this year and actor Ben Kingsley, who won an Oscar in the title role of Attenborough's 'Gandhi', is currently shooting 'Man on the Run' about an IRA informer.
'Closing the Ring' has already boosted the career of Belfast actor Marty McCann, who, on the strength of his performance, landed an audition with Steven Spielberg and then a role in the follow-up to the television series 'Band of Brothers'.
Stormont Culture Minister Edwin Poots and Economy Minister Nigel Dodds will tomorrow host a lunchtime reception for the movie's stars.
As the Hollywood team arrived in the city, 'Closing the Ring's producer, Belfast-based Jo Gilbert, spoke of her pride over Northern Ireland's role in the making of the movie.
"With the majority of 'Closing the Ring' shot on location in Belfast, including the Cave Hill, the east and north of the city as well as filming on the stages of the Titanic Studios and at Bangor's Clandeboye Estate, it proves that Northern Ireland has strong credentials as a movie-making hotspot," she said.
