Usher Gets Ready to Kick It and Harry Potter Hopefuls Prepare to Kick Someone

R&B singer Usher is preparing for not one, but two huge new roles in the coming weeks. The entertainer is less than a month away from becoming a first time father (his wife Tameka Foster is reportedly due to give birth to a son in early December) and he is getting ready to fill some big dancing shoes—Gene Kelly’s. Usher told reporters he is currently preparing to shoot the Movie Rocks show in which he will perform a remake of Gene Kelly’s “Singing in the Rain.” The singer says he was even more thrilled when producers told him the shoot … Continue reading

Usher’s Mini Me

Stop the presses! It appears pigs just learned to fly and they’re circling over Usher, his estranged mother and his new wife. In an event that most people agreed would only happen when swine took flight, the award-winning singer, his mother Jonetta Patton and his new wife Tameka Foster united for the launch of the USHER for Men and USHER for Women fragrance launch party in Manhattan on Tuesday—-and no one left with any visible scars. Could it be possible that the three have ended their much-publicized feud? According to news reports, Patton, who has reportedly clashed with Foster (she … Continue reading

Back Home: Owen Wilson and Usher

Less than a week after police say he attempted to end his life, actor Owen Wilson is reportedly back at home in Santa Monica this morning… but he’s not alone. According to news sources, the “Wedding Crashers” star is being watched around the clock. “Owen is in bad mental shape but said he is thankful to be alive,” a source close to actor told reporters. “He knows he came close to ending his life, and he is happy that he was saved from himself. He is basically at home with people watching him 24/7.” You’ll recall the 38-year-old actor was … Continue reading

Usher Gets Married

Yes, I was shocked when I heard about it too. (After all, this was a blog I planned to have done last week.) Less than six days after the R&B singer and his fiancée Tameka Foster abruptly cancelled their much-publicized Hamptons wedding the two made it legal in Atlanta on Friday. According to news reports, Usher is a married man. And it reportedly happened in the less than glamorous setting of his lawyer’s office—void of the pomp and circumstance that surrounded their original event. From what I’ve heard, simple would be an understatement. The couple reportedly went to Usher’s attorney’s … Continue reading

Untainted Hollywood

Just call her the anti-Britney… and Paris… and Lindsay. Fourteen-year-old actress Dakota Fanning is as pure as they come in Hollywood and the “Charlotte’s Web” star says she intends to stay that way as long as possible. Given the sordid tales of other childhood stars, who have been in and out of rehab several times before they could get their driver’s license, I would say Fanning has already far surpassed expectations. During a recent promotional tour for her new movie “The Secret Life of Bees,” the teen star made a pledge to refrain from holding up 7-11s, having premarital sex, … Continue reading
