His recent confession of planning for matrimonial bliss, will not stop Usher from having skin contact with the masses.
The platinum-selling R&B heart-throb and sometimes actor -- who recently revealed his engagement to 38 year old divorced fashion stylist Tameka Foster -- has signed a lucrative deal with Liz Claiborne Cosmetics for his very own fragrance line.
A spokesperson for the five-time Grammy Award winner (legally known as Usher Raymond) confirmed reports that a men and women's line will hit stores this fall.
The fashion industry trade publication 'Women's Wear Daily' also reported that an Usher-themed clothing and accessories line are also in the works.
This will be perfectly timed for release of the chart-topper's next album, due out via the Laface/Jive/Zomba Label Group later this year.
Usher joins a long list of multimedia savvy celebrities with their own fragrance lines, including Antonio Banderas, Derek Jeter, Hillary Duff, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Jennifer Lopez and Sean 'Diddy' Combs.

who cares about some stupid perfume, the cd maybe and also usher needs to stop,marrying that woman is a bad idea i'm not knocking her for having kids, but she was messing around with usher while she was married (light bulb going off) that should say something.

To Sam, who says that Usher tends to date and engage himself to the same type of looking women, I say maybe this is the kind of looks and nature women that he likes.
To me this is good. He is'nt attracted to someone of another culture or looks like someone of another culture.
This are the ladies that look like his own family women do. (very unlike most of our men who are well to do). In other words, he does not hate what he or his family members look and act like. I love Usher for this. To me, this shows being proud of where you come from.
