Usher Gets £50k of Pocket Change Stolen

Mr. R&B, and quite possibly Justin Timberlake’s half brother, Usher, unfortunately had belongings totalling some $100,000 whipped from a New York Hotel on Friday.

Bad start to anyone’s weekend we’d say.

Then again let’s not feel to sorry for Usher, being as the hotel belonged to one Donald Trump who’s promised to reimburse him for every single pound, dollar and rouble stolen. And to think we all have a hard enough time getting a refund out of Topshop on a Saturday morning. Typical.

Usher claims he’d left a suitcase containing all sorts of bling and luncheon vouchers at the reception of Trump’s International Hotel for a member of his entourage to collect. Well, the suitcase was collected, but apparently not by any friend of Usher’s. Sneaky criminal types, eh? It’s hardly like he shouts about his wealth either.

“I told him we’ll get it solved.” Trump commented (probably grumpily). “I’m trying to figure out why somebody would leave a bag at the front desk.”

Wouldn’t sweat that one too much Donald. We’d be more concerned over what was really inside it.

Suggestions welcome, though you’d be hard pushed to oust the current favourites: women’s clothing, human head, Speak & Spell and a gold plated copy of TV Quick.

We’re sure that’s fifty grands worth in someone’s book.

I’m gonna try that next time I’m staying in a hotel. “Where’s that bag of bling I left with you?”

Insurance fraud is cool, kids
