LOST LOVE

Though they met in 1993, it wasn't until Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas starred in Usher's 2001 "U Remind Me" video that the musical pair (at a 2003 pre-Grammy party) began dating. They split in January, with Chilli asserting that Usher "portrayed himself as faithful, and he wasn't." Says Usher: "Rozonda was my dream girl. I still love her, but we wanted different things."
