This year Usher showed up at the Grammys, the Oscars and even the NAACP Image Awards with stunning model Eishia Brightwell on his arm. So is it love for the commitment-phobic singer? His rep wouldn't say, but a source close to Usher insists that they have been a couple for months. "She is so right for him," says the insider. "They are both very goofy and playful." And it may be a good sign that Usher recently brought Brightwell along to Atlanta's Carter-Barnes hair salon for the birthday of his mom-manager, Jonnetta Patton. All had manicures and pedicures.
