Usher Does the Right Thing in New Orleans

June 14, 2006 at 8:35 AM | by | Comments (0)


R&B superstar and clothing addict (well, pants anyway) Usher headed down to New Orleans Tuesday to join volunteers in helping to clean up an overgrown school torn apart by Hurrican Katrina. He spent the day touring various neighborhoods in the area and even made a stop at LA's House of Representatives where he turned down requests for a quick song. Not even something from Streetcar: The Musical?

Instead he rapped--geddit--about his efforts at helping storm victims. Just goes to show you politicians will try and get a free show wherever they can.

He joins a new list of celebs who are heading down to New Orleans to lend a hand. Last month, Jennifer Garner, Reese Witherspoon and Ellen DeGeneres all made stops in the area to raise awareness for hurricane sufferers as well.
