Filed under: Music, Television, News, Celeb Updates He might represent Atlanta well, but R&B superstar Usher Raymond IV returned to his home state of Tennessee to help give one deserving family a new home. On Oct. 17, the 'Confessions' singer teamed with ABC's 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition' to rebuild single mother Trina Scott's problem-ridden home. Scott has been raising her three daughters as a single mother since her Clarksville police officer husband, Dave, was tragically killed in a car crash. In addition to devoting her free time to Concerns of Police Survivors, Inc, an organization which aids surviving family members of officers killed in the line of duty, she works a full-time job.
