INF Daily spotted Usher out shopping for sunglasses in West Hollywood with an entourage of lady friends. Apparently he just can’t make up his mind and needs the approval of the girls with his shades. If only he consulted their opinions with regard to his sneakers.

Usher is not just a shopper extraordinaire, he’s also a mentor to Justin Bieber. They were featured on the cover of the Hollywood Reporter recently with their manager L.A. Reid. You see, Justin is going through puberty at the moment and his voice is cracking. When Usher was going through the change, L.A. Reid wasn’t there for him. Reid was like, “Damn, where’s the voice?” Now, try and hold back your tears – we know – it’s super soppy, but we must persevere. Reid was going to drop Usher. NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! But, Diddy (who may or may not have been wearing a cape) came to the rescue. He assured Reid that Usher would still be a star despite puberty. Diddy is wise beyond his years. Now it’s Usher’s turn to assure Reid about Bieber. It’s the circle of life people.

And now for the happy ending – Reid has learned his lesson. He’s going to support Bieber as he goes through the change. Isn’t life wonderful! We’re just so damned happy about this whole thing. Excuse us, we need a moment.
