Usher's Wedding Woes Continue

Why did Usher and Tameka Foster call off their wedding yesterday? It seems that absolutely nothing was working for the would-be bride and groom.

Usher's mother and former manager was part of the problem, as were differences in opinion between the couple. Usher's mother, Jonetta Patton, is against the wedding, and was only invited to the ceremony at the last minute. Her disapproval, a source told People, "is one of the main obstacles."

Usher wanted to take the reception upscale with a catered dinner from chef Jean Georges, while Foster wanted a backyard barbecue. "They only decided two weeks ago to have a wedding," said a source. "They wanted to have it take place before the baby bump started showing."

16. I think the x-bride to be is a dirtbag. I have heard nothing but bad things about her. I mean every boyfriend she has had has been famous. I think she is a gold digger and he was to wrapped up in what she was doing to him behind closed doors and finally saw the light.

17. If they only decided a couple of weeks ago to have a wedding in the first place, then what's the big deal? Sounds more like they just ran out of time with the planning, so it just didn't happen.
Regarding the backyard BBQ, if it's not YOUR wedding, then who cares? A friendly BBQ actually sounds kind of nice to me.

18. I don't believe any of this crap. If Tameka is pregnant and about to deliver in the next 3 months she should be showing already. I don't think Usher's mom is domineering. She never had a problem with him dating Chilli. She doesn't like Tameka because she is shady. What mother would want her for their son? I think this whole thing was a publicity stunt that Usher's mom and management team didn't agree with. I'm glad they called off this fake wedding.

19. The full text of Usher's letter to his fans"It has
already been
announced that I plan to marry this year. However, since my wedding
day will be special to Tameka and I, this is information that we
would like to keep private. It's disturbing that the media and
bloggers (under the guise as 'fans') continuously speculate on the
personal aspects of my life, therefore making assumptions and wrong
insinuations that my fans are subject to believe. "I am happy,
excited, completely clear and independent on my direction, feelings,
decisions and I am NOT BEING LED. Some media and bloggers have been
totally intrusive, they have misconstrued aspects of my personal life
and, because of this, my 'true' fans are not sure about what is fact
and what is fiction. There is a difference in stating an opinion
versus drawing a conclusion that is incorrect. "As previously
reported, I have NEVER threatened or harassed anyone from any media
format – print, radio, television or Internet media. At this point
the best thing to say to my fans is just because it sounds enticing
and it MAY sound 'true,' that does not make it truth. I understand
the fact that I must sacrifice some anonymity for the career I love,
however some things are personal like having a child or a marriage.
These aspects are not for the public and, to me, are sacred. I would
hope my privacy in these areas would be respected."

Usher...OOPS my bad..I'm just gonna dump this trash at the alter

20. There is nothing wrong with an older woman younger man love ya know. I had it like that myself and still does. I was 46 with 5 kids all under the age of 14 and the man I fell in love with was 19 years old. We are still together but only now I am a lot older and so is he. So it can work if only other people would just stay out of it. We eloped because his mother tried to set me my house and my kids on fire. I had a husband when I first met him but he no longer was pleasing me (if you know what I mean) I did not want to cheat on my husband so I just told him that it was time to take a hike and found it more interersting with a much younger guy at that time. Usher just needs to rekindle the romance and remember what it was that made him attracted to this older woman in the first place. Perhaps her mojo was much better than the younger girl he had at first but nevertherless, Usher just needs to rekindle it with the older woman and leave everyone else out of the picture. Including his own mother. My young stud left his mother alone because she was getting in the way like my husband. He now has a relationship with his mother much later in life but she was just too much mouth at the time and she was getting in the way so she had to get out of his life and I made sure she stayed out at the time. I am rooting for you Usher. Rekindle that flame!!!

21. Hey Usher, you did the right thing, Get yourself a lady without kids(Demi Moore was one in a billion). This Tameka want a father for her kids and found on Usher a young and imature good guy. Your mother is right, to many gold digger around. Myself I married a womam with 2 kids, after 5 years, divorce, child support etc,,,etc,,,,etc,,,, Child support for her babys, hell no, Learn my lesson.

23. I thought Usher was gay!?! Or is he just kinda fluffy cause Mom has been
nibbling at his nutters for so long he has none left.

His mom needs a good porking so she can get her own life

26. #2-Sebastian, you just ask the nasty little question that the black community won't deal with that cause 75% of all the problems. The men as Sean Coombs shows care for themselves than for their families. Go to any nightclub, you'll see groups of black males, go to any PTA or kids sporting event you'll see very few. The scary thing is blacks are convinced that if the government don't help you no one cares, well you got to care for yourself before someone else does. I hope Usher is a better example for young black men who drop a load and think that's all to it. There's responsibility for your actions and more responsible black men are needed, not the Sharpton and Jackson who slavetraded their own race!!

27. I agree with MrsDavidBridges. Between the National Enquirer article, Media Take Out blasting it on the web, and Wendy Wiliams puttin the story on blast between 5-6 pm on the day before the wedding,I was PRAYING the wedding would be cancelled. She's got a record for wefare fraud, she's 9 yrs older than him, she's already got 3 kids, AND she as the other woman when was with Chili. Can't turn a ho into a housewife, even if you are gay and need a beard.

28. I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED THE LEAST BIT IF THAT IS ALL A PUBLICITY STUNT. YOU KNOW A LOT OF TIMES SOME CELEBRITIES WILL STAGE THINGS TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE IT IS REALLY HAPPENING AND ALL IT IS A STUNT TO BOOSTER THE NEXT CD SELLS. LOOK WHAT JANET JACKSON DID BY EXPOSING HER BREAST AND SHE WAS DUE TO HAVE HER CD DROP THAT SAME WEEK AND I GUESS THIS WAS TO BOOST THE SELLS. IT DOES HAPPEN AND USHER IS NO DIFFERENT--- I KNOW ONE THING THIS WILL MAKE HIS UPCOMING CD EVEN HOTTER-- PERHAPS THIS WILL BE CONFESSION @3 CD

29. My take on this is why are you people so worried about it? Who cares what they do...........it is their life, not yours. Stop making judgement on people you do not know.
