Usher could leave his ex-wife homeless. Tameka Foster is locked in a complicated legal battle with the "OMG" singer, and is worried he could sell the Georgia mansion where she is living.
A clause in the couple's divorce settlement allows Usher to sell the property at any time as long as he gives her 60 days notice, and sources tell TMZ.com she fears he will soon do just that, leaving her with mounting legal bills and nowhere to live.
Tameka has reportedly asked that she get a permanent home for her and their children, Usher, four, and Naviyd, three, but he has reportedly refused as he believes he has already paid her enough. At the beginning of this month, the couple were ordered to work out their differences and come to an agreement over custody of their children, a sticking point in their divorce proceedings.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Divorce, Legal Issues
Mena Suvari's estranged husband wants her to pay him $17,000 a month in spousal support.
The American Pie Reunion actress split from Simone Sestito last November after less than two years of marriage, and now the concert promoter has claimed he has "negative balances" on all his personal and business accounts.
According to court documents filed earlier this week - which have been obtained by TMZ.com - Simone also says he has been forced to pay his bills with credit cards and loans from his parents. So he is now asking for $17,000 a month from Mena as part of their divorce settlement as he claims the American Beauty star earns $750,000 a year.
Mena - whose five-year union to first husband cinematographer Robert Brinkmann ended in 2005 - recently admitted all her exes end up hating her and she isn't on good terms with any of them: "I've never run into an ex who I have fallen back in love with. They all end up hating me. I just keep moving on. I don't like going back, I think that's unhealthy."

Jennie Garth's divorce made her realize how much she loved Peter Facinelli.
The 40-year-old 90210 actress and her Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 actor estranged husband announced their plans to divorce in March. Speaking to a therapist on her reality show Jennie Garth: A Little Bit Country she said, "It's weird and sad, but I really realized through this whole experience how much I loved him, how deeply I loved him and how deeply I loved us."
The two have children together - Luca,14, Fiona, nine, and Lola, five - and Jennie was against Peter's idea to file for a legal separation. "I think with any sort of rejection, you're angry that you weren't enough for that person. So I don't know if I'm angry at myself for not being enough, or if I'm angry at him for not considering me to be enough," she continued.
Talking about his decision to end their longtime union, she said she hoped they'd be together forever and added that his filing surprised her. When asked if she'd like to share her strong feelings with her ex, she said expressed her desire to.

The 36-year-old comedian and actor - who filed for divorce from Katy in December 2011 after 14 months of marriage - is said to have changed his mind after seeing photos her at Coachella Festival last month.

"Word has it Russell was 'seething with jealousy' when he saw pictures of her with Rob. He apparently feels he gave up on their relationship too easily," a source told the publication. "It's fair to say that Russell only wishes Katy happiness but perhaps he should have realized just how special his wife was when he was married to her rather than five months later," the source added.
Kim Kardashian’s Lawyer Blames Kris for Divorce Delay
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Sports, Television, Divorce, Legal Issues
Kim Kardashian's lawyer says Kris Humphries' hurt feelings are delaying the couple's divorce. Kim filed legal papers in October to end their union after only 72 days of marriage and while she wants a divorce, Kris is seeking an annulment, with his lawyers asking for more time to gather information to decide whether to pursue allegations that the couple's marriage was a fraud.
However, the reality TV star's attorney Laura Wasser said they are eligible for a divorce since it has been more than six months since Kim filed her petition. "I feel that (Humphries') personal feelings and maybe some media drive is keeping this case alive. Certainly, they've been separated longer than they've been married," she said in court today.
The estranged pair are currently each footing their own legal fees but Ms. Wasser warned if the case goes to trial and Kim wins, she will ask that Kris pay her hefty expenses. Superior Court Judge Stephen Moloney told both sides to return to court on August 15 for a status hearing.
Debra Messing has spoken for the first time about her marriage breakdown. The former Will and Grace star and her producer husband Daniel Zelman announced their 11-year marriage was over last December, bringing an end to a relationship that began in 1990 when they met at college.
The split coincided with Debra - who has a seven-year-old son Roman with Daniel - relocating from Los Angeles to New York to shoot new TV show Smash, and she admits the amount of changes in her life were tough for her to deal with.
"It's like 20 years. It's a very long time. When I say the move to New York was traumatic, it was traumatic because every aspect of my life was going through a huge change," she said in an interview in the June issue Ladies' Home Journal magazine.
Although when Debra said her vows she thought she was marrying for life, she thinks the concept of marriage is becoming outdated because of changes in modern society: "I think the idea of a partner for life is incredibly romantic. But now we're living to 100. A hundred years ago people were dying at age 37. Till death do us part was a much different deal."
Martin Lawrence has filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences." The Bad Boys actor submitted the documents in Los Angeles County Superior Court just one day after they announced their separation last week.
Martin and his wife Shamicka got married on July 10, 2010 inside their Beverly Hills home, having been together for 15 years prior. They have two children, 11-year-old Iyanna and nine-year-old Amara Trinity.
According to TMZ.com, Martin wants joint physical and legal custody of the kids. The publication also reports that there is a prenuptial agreement between the pair. The Lawrences' representative said at the time of their parting ways, "Martin and Shamicka Lawrence have decided to divorce. The couple has made the joint decision to part ways."
They released a joint statement, saying, "Out of love and respect for one another, we will continue to remain friends and raise our two beautiful daughters together."

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony will not have a custody battle over their twins.
The couple split last July after seven years of marriage, but they are keen to make the divorce as amicable as possible for the sake of four-year-old twins Max and Emme, as their welfare and happiness is the most important thing to them.
"The parties are working together to reach a friendly resolution that's in the best interest of their children," Jennifer's lawyer Ron Anteau told People.
Sources also say Marc doesn't want any financial support from Jennifer, who is now dating dancer Casper Smart. "He's not seeking financial support from her in this divorce. This is about trying to figure out how best for two very busy parents to share their children," one insider said.
Earlier this month, Marc filed for divorce from Jennifer, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split.
Mena Suvari says all her exes end up hating her.
The American Reunion star - who split from her second husband, concert promoter Simone Sestito, in January - admits she isn't on good terms with her former lovers and has never rekindled a relationship. Mena - whose character Heather in the comedy movie falls in love again with her first boyfriend Oz (Chris Klein) - said, "I've never run into an ex who I have fallen back in love with. They all end up hating me. I just keep moving on. I don't like going back, I think that's unhealthy."
Since ending her marriage to Simone, the 33 year-old actress - whose five-year union to first husband cinematographer Robert Brinkmann ended in 2005 - is content to be single for the moment. Mena says any new man in her life will have to support her in everything she does.
"I'm very happy (being single). I mean, I definitely accept my path and what's important to me is staying true to myself and who I am, and being happy. I feel I've got to a place in my life where I'm happy - I'm the main focus and that feels good. If a new guy was to happen he'd have to compliment me, instead of taking away from me."
Britney Spears' failed marriage to Kevin Federline has inspired an erotic book written by his aunt. Diane Story has used the pair's two-year union as the basis for her novel Pop Baby Krissy Doucet, which follows the romance between Keenan Fazio and Krissy Doucet.
"The moment Krissy set her sights on Keenan, she knew he was amazing. Choosing him at the club was one of the best decisions of her life. Yet how can she compete with the beautiful Tara Butler? A woman from Keenan's past who understands his sexual desires. Would sharing Keenan in Tara's bed be their only option for love?" the teaser text for the book reads.
Britney and Kevin started dating in 2004, got engaged in July that year and were married in September. When they announced their engagement, the backing dancer's ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson was pregnant with their second child.
Britney and Kevin had two sons, Sean Preston, six, and Jayden James, five, together before splitting in November 2006 and officially divorcing in July 2007.
