Usher Wants Pippa Middleton For His Underwear Line?

Usher is hoping to cash in on Pippa Middleton‘s popularity by signing her up to represent his underwear line. Pippa Middleton or her “Royal Hotness” as she is known is some circles shot to fame when she strutted her stuff at her sister Kate Middleton’s Royal Wedding to Prince William. Pippa Middleton has still managed to hold on to her 15 minutes, really without trying, and now Usher wants to extend it further.

Reportedly Usher told Look Magazine, “I don’t think there’s a more beautiful, more stunning, more talked-about woman in the world at the moment. I’m going to be approaching her in the next few weeks and setting up a meeting this summer.”

“The great thing about her is that she would be a global brand. Everybody knows her now, she would be perfect. I am sure everybody is trying to sign her up and she won’t be cheap, but she has the looks and the popularity to really establish a new product.”

“A few years back everyone wanted the Jennifer Lopez look, but now everyone asks for a bottom like Pippa’s – curvy but not too peachy.”

Kim Kardashian who recently took a butt x-ray to deny her butt was fake still stands at the other end of the spectrum. So which one will consumers jump to?

This feels like a cheap move from Usher jumping on the Pippa Middleton band wagon and we’re not completely buying it, are you?

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
