Who is the guy in the K-mart commercial with Martha Stewart?

Last night I chanced to see a K-mart commercial. In it, a young black man–in his twenties, I’d guess–was talking about some perfumee he had designed, going on at some length about how hard it had been to design the bottle. A moment later Stewart joined him. They walked through the faux K-Mart store talking about their designs, and Stewart mentioned that she had designed 2000 items to his two, causing him to say, “Women, when do you sleep?”

Who is the young man? At first I thought he might be a basketball player, but then I saw him standing next to Stewart and realized he wasn’t nearly tall enough (either that or Martha Stewart is one of the Noldor). So who?

It’s singer and actor Usher . He’s kind of quiet musicwise recently (although he has been in the news for marrying a much older woman), but he’s one of my faves,

Nitpick: It’s Macy’s, not K-Mart (how Martha was able to get a deal with Macy’s when she has all that K-Mart stuff too, I don’t know.)

I’m an even bigger geek than I thought.
