USHER - USHER'S SHOCKING TRAVELLING DEMANDS

USHER shocked fans after the screening of his latest movie on Monday night (25JAN05) - by ordering his chauffeur to drive him 200 yards to the after show party, where he flashed his bottom at onlookers.

The CONFESSIONS singer was attending the showing of his film RHYTHM CITY VOLUME 1: CAUGHT UP at London's REX BAR + CINEMA venue.

But he surprised the VIP audience by travelling to the post-screening bash at the capital's Penthouse nightspot in his ROLLS-ROYCE Phantom, even though the venue was a two-minute walk away.

A witness says, "People were pretty shocked to see him piling into his car, especially as it took three times longer to drive than to get there on foot. It's a two-minute stroll.

"And when his car pulled up at the Penthouse, his security insisted everyone who had been queuing patiently clear the way for him to get out, which took five minutes."
