Usher Rehires Mother

The R&B singer Usher has left his manager, Billboard reported. In a statement released by his label, LaFace/Zomba, Usher said that he had ''dissolved his management arrangement with Benny Medina and has re-engaged JonnettaPatton,'' his mother, ''as his manager.'' Usher was managed by his mother until May 2007, when he hired Mr. Medina, who manages Mariah Carey and other artists. Usher's latest album, ''Here I Stand,'' has sold 948,000 copies in the past 10 weeks in the United States and is the eighth best-selling album of the year to date. But it hasn't sold nearly as well his ''Confessions'' album from 2004, which sold 3.77 million copies in its first 10 weeks.
