Usher: King of PopTarts?

Usher revealed just what a huge star he is, during an outing in New York on Wednesday.

While some have labeled Usher Michael Jackson's successor as the new King of Pop, it appears the R&B star is taking weight cues from another Jackson: Miss Jackson, if you're nasty!

Hopefully, the bundled up crooner will be hitting the gym again to deflate those trademark abs, just like Janet (on the right) did. Until then, he can at least count on the extra poundage to keep him warm on those cold New York streets.

16. the picture on the left is the pic of usher they're talking about; the one where he is looking heavier. the one on the right is janet jackson! they compared the two in the article and put up a side-by-side comparison with the pictures (which obviously has only served the purpose of confusing people).

25. He's rich and famous...and in his downtime there's nothing wrong with gaining a few pounds.
People do gain, in the real world.

26. Some idiots commenting here. No one at TMZ ever said the pic of Janet Jackson was Usher! WTF.

The left pic is supposedly Usher, and all i see is he is wearing a coat. Young straight males wear loose clothing , especially when its cold outside and have a coat on, wtt.
