New York, May 27-30, 2008 – This was a big week for R&B star Usher.  His new album, Here I Stand, dropped, and he introduced his new fragrance, UR, at a private dinner.  The superstar supported our troops this Memorial Day, spending time aboard the USS Kearsarge, a helicopter carrier docked in Manhattan, promoting the new CD, signing autographs and greeting military men and women.  They presented him with a cap bearing the boat’s name, and organizers had trouble keeping the excited crew from jumping the line. 

On Wednesday, Usher gave beauty editors a sneak sniff of his new fragrances – UR for Men and UR for Women.  The scents will be in stores in September.  The recently married new father finished the week with a Friday morning performance in Bryant Park on ABC’s Good Morning America.
