USHER - USHER 'ENDS CAMPBELL ROMANCE'

LATEST: R+B heart-throb USHER has allegedly ended his three-month relationship with supermodel NAOMI CAMPBELL - because the catwalk beauty refused to join him at the BILLBOARD AWARDS earlier this month (08DEC04).

The pair have been dating since October (04) and have been regular features on the social scene, gracing the red carpet at a number of awards ceremonies.

But Usher was furious when Campbell stayed in New York instead of accompanying him to the prestigious Los Angeles ceremony - where he scooped a staggering 11 awards - so he left the British stunner, reports British newspaper the DAILY MIRROR.

Campbell's spokesman JONATHAN MORRISH says, "Naomi and Usher are good friends and will continue to be so."

An insider adds, "Things came to a head at the Billboard Awards when she told him she wasn't going to go with him and he got all tetchy with her. He went in by a back door. That probably wouldn't have happened if Naomi had been there."
