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

Why Usher Is Still Single

It was supposed to be one of the biggest bashes of the summer. Star couples including Beyoncé and Jay Z, as well as Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri were en route to Usher’s planned wedding to Tameka Foster in the Hamptons on Saturday when they received word the nuptials had been called off. So what went so terribly wrong that the couple (who are due to become parents this fall) would cancel their own wedding? We may never know the real answer, but after the wedding cancellation was announced, media outlets (and various online chatrooms) went into overdrive to solve … 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

Celebrity Milestones: New Baby, New Job, New House

He’s heeeere! The spawn of Usher has arrived. R&B star Usher and his wife Tameka welcomed a baby boy on Monday night, according to his rep. The baby boy named Usher Raymond V was born in Atlanta, Georgia at 9:55 p.m., and weighed in at 7 lbs. 9 oz., according to a statement by the singer. News reports say Usher and his wife will take home their new bundle of joy sometime today. The 29-year-old singer turned fragrance designer and his 36-year-old wife announced the pregnancy in June. The news was followed by a highly publicized cancelled wedding, which was … Continue reading

Celebrity Updates: Moving On

Still no official word as to why R&B singing sensation Usher cancelled his weekend wedding to girlfriend Tameka Foster, but now it seems attention is shifting a bit… According to media reports, Foster was hospitalized due to pregnancy complications a day after the wedding was called off. Usher’s pregnant fiancée is reportedly recovering in an Atlanta area hospital (and yes, Usher has reportedly been at her side). Foster told PEOPLE magazine that she and the baby are “fine for now.” She also told the magazine that fans shouldn’t believe all they have been reading in regards to why her nuptials … Continue reading
