CELEB SPOTTINGS: R&B SINGERS OUT & ABOUT ....

Usher and his wife Tameka were spotted departing the plush Via Veneto restaurant in Santa Monica last night in California:



They both looked smart for the swanky occasion, which was hosted by the Beckhams. UPDATE: It was a dinner party to celebrate Victoria Beckham's 34th birthday. Word in the blogosphere is that Tameka is pregnant with child no 2. If that's true, congrats to them. The dinner party was attended by many A-List celebs ranging from Diddy and on-off girlfriend Kim Porter, Will Smith and wife Jada, Tom Cruise and wife Katie Holmes, Gwen Stefani and partner Gavin and Eva Longoria just to name a few.

Yesterday, R&B songstress Ciara attended the Temple University Liacouras Center for the 2008 National Hip-Hop Team Vote Launch in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania:



She displayed lots of cleavage by donning a plunging neckline shirt which read VOTE IN 08 to support the occasion. The whole point of the national campaign is to mobilize the hip-hop generation of youth voters to ensure the largest youth voter turnout in American history on November 4, 2008. This year, they're hoping millions of 18-35 year olds will contribute towards the all-important cause.

Several other R&B songstresses was there too:

Emily King and Chrisette Michele came out as well to honour the occasion. November 4th is set to be the most historic day in politics.

Beyonce, Jay-Z and her sister Solange were spotted in LA over the weekend. Whilst husband and wife managed to avoid the camera's (almost), Solange stopped to pose with fans:



What in the hell is Beyonce wearing? On the other hand, look at Jay-Z with baby Daniel. He loves the hell outta that lil boy. He would make such a superb dad.
