Usher Officially Files for Divorce

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Divorce

I think it’s safe to say that 2009 has not been kind to Tameka Foster.

Back in February, Usher’s wife was hospitalized after a plastic surgery scare in Brazil. Now the mother is facing the end of her nearly two-year-old marriage.

Late this week, the R&B singer officially filed for divorce in Atlanta. This move comes after increased speculation about the state of their relationship. Although Foster, 38, was reportedly still referring to Usher as her husband, a source tells People that the two have been drifting apart for some time now.

Tameka and Usher, 30, have two sons together: Usher Raymond V, 18 months, and Naviyd, 6 months.

Family Emergency Forces Usher Cancellation

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television

UPDATE: Tameka reportedly went into cardiac and respiratory arrest during a liposuction procedure.

An unexpected matter forced singer Usher to cancel a performance over the weekend. But unlike in the Rihanna/Chris Brown situation, this issue was not police related.

The 30-year-old had been slated to sing at Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party on Saturday evening. But after calls from both Usher and his mother, the record mogul was forced to deliver the bad news: the performance was going to be scrapped due to a “serious illness in the family.”

According to Access Hollywood, Usher’s wife, Tameka Foster, experienced complications after undergoing a plastic surgery procedure in Brazil. Although it’s not known which specific treatment the 37-year-old was supposedly seeking, Foster gave birth to their second child together back in December. Access claimed that a neurosurgeon from LA’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center was being flown to the South American country to assist.

It has been rumored that Foster will appear on the second season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Hollywood Baby Roundup: September 9, 2008

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Sports, Television, Celebrity Babies, Pregnancies

Ladies and gents - it’s time once again to recap those celebs currently heading toward parenthood. (Who knew a list written just two weeks ago would already be outdated?)

• Usher: Sources are reporting that the musician and his wife, Tameka Foster, are already expecting their second child. The newlyweds, who were married last fall, welcomed a son, Usher Raymond V, just 10 months ago. With any luck, the two will be saying hello to their first daughter this time around. Otherwise, we may be introduced to Usher Raymond VI sooner than expected.
• Minnie Driver: The 38-year-old Riches star became a first-time mother this past weekend. Henry Story Driver, who weighed in at a healthy 9 lbs., 12 oz., was born Friday in Los Angeles. The unmarried actress has opted against publicly naming the father of her child.
