Usher Files For Divorce From His Wife Tameka Foster Raymond


R&B star Usher filed for divorce from his wife Tameka Foster Raymond on Friday, and sources report it’s because of another woman. Read more on Usher’s divorce below.

Usher Raymond IV filed divorce papers with the Superior Court in Atlanta, Georgia.

Usher, 30, and his wife Tameka, 38, were married in 2007 and have two children.

Sources report that friends and family are happy Usher is divorcing Tameka.

“He can’t dump Tameka fast enough. No one likes her. Since the day it became known he was dating Tameka, friends and family have been telling him she’s not right for him,” a source told Radaronline.

Usher’s mother, Jonetta Patton, even boycotted Foster and Usher’s August 2007 wedding after Tameka wanted to have her fired as Usher’s manager.

“And Tameka threatened to ban her own mother from the ceremony because her mom had lost her false teeth,” says the insider.

That ceremony didn’t happen but the couple got married a week later at a lawyer’s office. But their marriage has been very rocky.

“Tameka was fighting to save the marriage,” our source says. Even recently, when the singer “traveled to Cleveland for basketball play-offs last month, Tameka followed him. You had the farcical situation of Tameka running around town trying to find him and Usher ordering friends not to tell her where he was staying.”

Miley Cyrus Back With Nick Jonas?: And Miley Gets Her Nose Pierced


Miley Cyrus split with her model boyfriend, Justin Gaston, early this week and is now hanging out with ex Nick Jonas of the “Jonas Brothers”. So are Miley and Nick a couple again? Read more on Miley and Nick below.

Miley seems quite happy to have reconciled with Nick Jonas, but is there more to their relationship than just a friendship?

“He’s my best friend, and we still hang out all the time,” she said Friday on 107.5’s morning show in Nashville. “We’ve definitely reconnected. We don’t know what’s going to happen in the future, but right now we’re just kind of kicking it and hanging out as much as we can.”

Miley and Nick broke up back in 2007, and Miley revealed to Seventeen magazine that she “bawled for a month straight” and dyed her hair black after the relationship ended.

Miley and Nick recorded a duet called “Before The Storm and are on good terms now.

“We both just kind of saw each other and kind of decided this whole thing is kind of stupid,” Cyrus said. “We were all over the separation.”

“I’m really happy to be back in their lives,” she went on. “And our families are super happy we’re hanging out again.”

Nick recently made a trip to Georgia to visit Miley while she ws shooting the movie “The Last Song”. The buddies went jet-skiing near Tybee Island too.

“No comment,” she said when asked about the outing, though she did admit, “I am a jet ski demon!”

Miley has made other changes other than boyfriends lately too. Miley had her nose pierced. “I’ll let people think what they will,” she said. “I hope no one is upset at me for doing it. I think it’s lame for it to be such a big deal because … it’s just temporary. You can take it out.”

Mike Tyson Marries Lakiha Spicer In Vegas Just Weeks After Daughter’s Death


Boxer Mike Tyson has married Lakiha Spicer in Las Vegas on Saturday. This makes the third marriage for Mike Tyson, who sadly lost his 4 year-old daughter in a tragic accident just two weeks ago. Read more on Tyson’s wedding below.

The owner of the La Bella Wedding Chapel at the Las Vegas Hilton hotel-casino told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the boxer and Lakiha Spicer were married Saturday in a private ceremony.

The Chapel owner, Shawn Absher, stated that the couple arrived around 10 p.m. in a limousine.

County marriage records in Las Vegas confirmed Mike Tyson, 42, and Spicer, 32, obtained a marriage license about 30 minutes before their ceremony.

It’s nice to see some happy times for Tyson after the tragic death of his 4 year-old daughter, Exodus, two weeks ago from a treadmill accident. The little girl was said to have suffocated after her head was caught in a loop of cord hanging under the treadmill in their Phoenix home.

Tyson’s agent, Harlan Werner, told the AP that Spicer is not Exodus’ mother.

Tyson and Spicer, a resident of suburban Henderson, asked for a simple ceremony with nothing special, Absher said.

“They just wanted to say the vows and be married,” he said. “It was very sincere.”

Tyson has been married two times already…to Robin Givens in 1988 and Monica Turner in 1997.

Tyson and Spicer seemed very in love, Absher said.

“They were very heartwarming, and I think they really do love each other. “He seemed happy — and his life’s been up and down.”

Congrats to Mike Tyson an Lakiha Spicer on their marriage!

Michelle Obama Gives Carla Bruni Sarkozy The “Stink Eye”


Wow! If looks could kill! Media has reported that France’s first lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, and the United States’ first lady, Michelle Obama, were getting along royally. But sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. Read more below.

Although most sources report the first ladies were bonding like crazy, many details (as well as the photo above) seem to show they could have all been faked for the cameras. Supposedly the Obama’s and Sarkozy’s had such differences of opinion that the couples decided against going to dinner together while in Paris. Rude huh?

Sarkozy and Obama have many differences in opinion… one on whether Turkey should be admitted to the EU. According to the French president, Turkey should be offered a special status within the EU, but not a full membership. Turkey is a predominantly Muslim country and Germany and France consider it ‘non-European’.

But Barack Obama believes Turkey should be in the EU, as a member with full rights.

Carla Bruni Sarkozy is a former model as well as a singer with quite a few topless photos online. Could Michelle be jealous of the pretty French first lady?

Travis Barker Slams “Deadbeat Moms” On His Twitter Page


Travis Barker posted his thoughts on motherhood today on his Twitter page. It makes you wonder if Travis was referring to ex-wife Shanna Moakler. Also check out Travis Barker’s remix of Eminem’s 3 AM video below.

Travis Barker wrote on his Twitter page:

(“Kids are not to be used as weapons. Deadbeat moms that sleep all day,seeking money, attention like 2 do so. Just hurts the kids in the end. Giving birth 2 a child doesn’t make u a good mom. Taking care of them, loving them,waking up with them, spending time with them does.”)

Shanna’s rep responded with saying, “As I’ve said before Shanna is not going to play out her personal relationships in the media.”

Since when? Shanna seems to be a major drama queen. What do you bet that she will respond?

Check out the always awesome Travis Barker with his remix of Eminem’s 3 AM in video below:

Hayden Panettiere Flies Amidst Pregnancy Rumors


Returning from yet another trip, Hayden Panettiere was spotted waiting for her luggage at LAX International Airport yesterday (June 10).

The “Heroes” hottie showed off a heart-shaped necklace to a few pals at the baggage claim, while also checking her mobile phone quite frequently.




In related news, Miss Panettiere is the object of pregnancy rumors again, only a few months after she was said to have been knocked up back in February.

And of course, her rep is expected to make a statement later today denying the story that her client is carrying a child.

Kate Gosselin Gasses Up in Reading


Fresh from her vacation to Bald Head Island, North Carolina, Kate Gosselin was spotted refueling her car in Reading, Pennsylvania earlier today (June 10).

The “Jon and Kate Plus 8” mother looked a bit annoyed with the paparazzi as she pumped gas, sporting sunglasses along with a blue top and black trousers.




And it sounds like Kate & Co. are feeling the same real estate crunch as the rest of the nation- their 5-bedroom 2 ½ bath house is still on the market.

Neighbors are thankful, however, that the Gosselins relocated. Marilyn Soutner told press, “Fans were dangerous; fans were always coming right up to their house. I’d stand outside with my phone staring at the door like I was calling the police ... It was making it a very, very dangerous neighborhood. You don’t know who [was] in those cars.”

James Von Brunn Kills Security Guard Stephen Tyrone Johns at Holocaust Memorial Museum


James Von Brunn, 88, opened fire with a rifle in the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum on Wednesday, killing security guard, Stephen Tyrone Johns, before being shot by other officers. Read more on James on Brunn, who apparently has a long history of ties to white supremacist groups.


James Von Brunn, an 88 year-old Maryland man who has a website called the Holy Western Empire, and has ties to Neo-Nazi’s and white supremacist groups.

James von Brunn has served six years in prison for attempting to make what he called a “legal, non-violent citizens arrest” of Federal Reserve board members in 1981. Of course Brunn blamed his sentencing on “a Negro jury, Jew/Negro attorneys” and “a Jew judge.”

“He has an extremely long history with neo-Nazis and white supremacists. He’s written extremely incendiary publications raging about Jews, blacks and the like.”

Von Brunn is from St. Louis, Missouri, a 1943 graduate of Washington University. He served as a Navy Officer in World War II. By the late 70’s Brunn had become a “hardcore neo-Nazi” .

In December 1981, angry at the “treacherous and unconstitutional” acts of the Federal Reserve, Von Brunn entered the central bank’s Washington headquarters with a pistol, a shotgun, a knife, and a fake bomb. Von Brunn claimed to have planted a bomb, forcing the evacuation of the building.

Von Brunn was sentenced to six years in prison on attempted kidnapping, second-degree burglary, assault and weapons charges.

Von Brunn’s trial dealt extensively with his “attitudes about black and Jewish people,” which his lawyer said were irrelevant to the charges he was facing.

Documents were read at trial in which von Brunn wrote, “Goal: to deport all Jews and blacks from the white nations,” among other racist statements.

Von Brunn has posted many hate-filled postings on his website and others. Most recently the messages questioned the authenticity of President Obama’s birth certificate, the subject of numerous conspiracy theories. Advocates of those theories imply that Obama was born overseas and therefore would be constitutionally ineligible to hold office.

Von Brunn is in critical condition Wednesday afternoon after being shot by a security guard at the museum.

Washington police and the FBI said the shooting appeared to have been the work of a single gunman.

Jon and Kate Gosselin: Doing Their Own Thing


It continues to look like the Gosselin family is on the decline as today (June 9) Jon and Kate were spotted spending the day apart.

The “Jon and Kate Plus 8” stars both looked downtrodden as they went about their separate agendas out and about in Reading Pennsylvania.


Kate took two of her brood on an errand-running marathon while Jon picked up a snack at a local gas station as the paparazzi fired away.

And on tonight’s episode of the hit reality show, Jon and Kate get to cook with celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse. Though they seem to get along most of the time, at one point Kate slaps Emeril on the hand with a spatula with a ‘Bam!’

Cristiano Ronaldo Enjoys Time Off in the States


Making the most of his time in the States, Cristiano Ronaldo was spotted grabbing some dinner at the swanky Madeo restaurant last night (June 8).

The international soccer stud looked handsome as he made his way inside the Beverly Hills eatery after having been escorted to the restaurant with his friends in a stretch Hummer limousine, later proceeding to Hyde Lounge to finish up the night on the town.




And it sounds like Mr. Ronaldo is back on the injured list after he complained of abdomen pain during and after Saturday’s World Cup qualifying victory over Albania.

Cristiano is expected to fly to Miami, Florida next week to undergo surgery so as to begin the healing process as quickly as possible. He’s due back in Manchester July 6th for practice.

Katy Perry: Twitter Addict


Never one to turn down party invites, Katy Perry was spotted out at the Lulu Guinness 20th Anniversary soiree at the Victoria & Albert Museum on Monday (June 8).

The “Waking Up In Vegas” singer offered up a “peace” sign to photogs covering the event, then making her way inside to mingle with fellow guests including Sophie Ellis Bextor, Jo Wood and the guest of honor, Lulu Guiness.




Meanwhile, Miss Perry recently confessed that she’s addicted to Twittering - leading to pretty much everyone knowing where she is at all times.

“The other night I was in a great Mexican restaurant and so I Twittered — not that I was in this particular restaurant; I was a bit cryptic about which city it was — but there were people outside a minute after I put that out there. I forgot I was broadcasting live. I am addicted to it,” Perry tells.
