Usher Hasn’t Tied The Knot Yet 2007-07-30 07:31:01 Usher and his fiance/baby momma, Tameka Foster were ready to wed this weekend when differences of opinion between Usher and his woman about the event led to its cancellation. People magazine had a take that there was a little more than differences of opinion that caused the wedding to cease. “Usher’s mother [and former manager, Jonetta Patton, whom he fired in May] is against the wedding. That is one of the main obstacles,” according to the source, who also said of the bride, 37, and groom, 28: “They only decided two weeks ago to have a wedding. They wanted to have it take place before the baby bump started showing.” Reportedly, Patton was not even invited to the wedding and Usher’s godfather, Ben Vereen had actually been removed from the guest list. Both were a result of their opinion of Usher’s fiance. Source ...

The line is intended for stylish men looking to find trendy, fashionable clothes. “I’m excited to use this platform to express my creativity,” says the first-time fashion designer. “There aren’t enough things that men can wear as an everyday piece and be proud of and think this is something that we invested our money in and look good in.” “I have a 19-year old sister and a 26-year old sister who are a little upset with me because I haven’t thought about the women’s line,” he admits. “I want to do very sexy, sensual cuts that highlight the best features of a woman”s beautiful body.

Vince and Reese to Spend Christmas Together? 2007-07-27 13:41:51 Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon are in final negotiations to star in the romantic comedy Four Christmases. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Vaughn, 37, and Witherspoon, 31, will play a couple who struggle to visit all four of their divorced parents’ homes during the Christmas holidays. Vaughn and Witherspoon would also co-produce the New Line Cinema film, which is slated for a 2008 release. Meanwhile, the two single actors already know they have chemistry. The pair had a flirtatious two-hour long meeting about the film at The Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills on June 29. The meeting quickly turned into a laugh riot as the two shared stories amid bursts of one-upmanship. When the $20 check arrived, Witherspoon teased, “I’m not sure you can swing it.” Ever the gentleman, Vaughn (who recently opened L.A. offices for his production company), refused to let her pay.

Hilary Duff and her Hockey Player Lover….. 2007-07-27 13:38:51 Finally, it looks like Hilary Duff has a new boyfriend. When she split with her first real love Joel Madden last year, she needed time to recover. Joel, of course immediately hooked up with Nicole Richie, and that was a real jolt to Hilary. She’s found a really nice guy and he’s not too tall for the petite actress/singer. He’s Mike Comrie, who plays for the NY Islanders hockey team, and comes from a wealthy Canadian family that owns a chain of Home Depot type stores in Canada. Hilary is a huge hockey fan and they were introduced by mutual friends just a week or two ago. They’ve already bonded over jet skis in Idaho and dinner at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica last night.

The View Chooses Whoopi and Sherri Shepherd 2007-07-27 13:26:11 It’s been two months since Rosie O’Donnell walked away from The View, but now speculation is rife that Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd are about to hop into the hot seats. Next week a formal announcement is expected that the two comedians will join the ABC daytime gabfest, the Los Angeles Times reports. Refusing comment on the report, network spokesman Karl Nilsson tells PEOPLE, “There is nothing to announce.” ABC Daytime president Brian Frons also told Variety, “We have no closed deal” with Goldberg. After eight tumultuous months – culminating in an uncomfortable-to-watch on-air spat with costar Elisabeth Hasselbeck – O’Donnell bolted from the show one month before her one-season contract was due to expire.

The Problems Of The Rich And Famous 2007-07-27 09:49:11 Some of us have trouble making the rent, others have problems landing our private jets. The rich have such problems. “Hairspray” star and pilot John Travolta has sued an airport in Ocala, Fla., for trying to keep his personal jets off the runway. It seems when he bought an estate at Jumbolair, an aviation-themed development in central Florida, the actor understood he could land his planes -including a Boeing 707 and a four-engine Qantas commercial passenger jet - next door at Greystone Airport. “The runway is not suitable for heavy aircraft. It is cracking and breaking,” said Greystone airport owner James Garemore. How ridiculous that John would sue. There is an obvious much easier solution here……buy the airport! What a cheapass.

Brit Fires Her Assistant 2007-07-27 08:32:19 Britney Spears is looking for a new assistant. The pop star fired her current assistant, Shannon Funk, on Wednesday. Shannon only lasted on the job about three weeks. “Britney felt a lot of her recent troubles started and stopped with Shannon,” an insider close to Spears tells Life & Style weekly. “Britney thought [Shannon] was talking badly about her. She was very rude and Britney felt she was letting business emails fall by the wayside.” Britney parted ways with her former assistant and cousin, Alli Sims within the last month. What is Brit to do? I’m sure she can’t hack it on her own without a assistant leach. For the record, I would have fired The Funk if she wore an outfit like that, it makes her look like she has a giant FUPA. Source ...

Lindsay Says: “I Wasn’t Driving, the Black Kid Was” 2007-07-27 08:11:24 Just before Lindsay Lohan was arrested early Tuesday morning, she commandeered a car and took three men hostage — this, according to the three men who were in the car with her. TMZ interviewed all three, and here’s the lowdown: Rewind to Monday afternoon. Dante Nigro, Jakon Sutter and Ronnie Blake drove to Malibu with the boyfriend of Lindsay Lohan’s assistant. Lindsay and her assistant ran into Dante and friends. Later, the assistant text-messaged Dante, saying Lindsay wanted to invite him to a Malibu party that night. Later, Dante says, he and his friends drove to the party. Dante and the assistant’s boyfriend were let in, but Jakon and Ronnie were rejected and stayed outside. Dante says Lindsay was never without a drink during the evening and he even did a shot with her. At one point, Lindsay’s assistant and her boyfriend walked outside and got into an argument. Lindsay came out and got angry at her assistant. The assistant then said, “I quit,&rd ... Lindsay

Tomcat Gets Blackmailed 2007-07-27 08:08:54 David Hans Schmidt was arrested by the FBI this week for trying to sell wedding pictures of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes that he stole. The asking price for the photos was $1 million. Schmidt approached Tom’s entourage earlier this year about buying the pictures back. The FBI was immediately called. Schmidt has a reputation for getting juicy tapes and pictures of celebs and trying to sell them back to them. He has been distributing sex tapes for the last ten years and has brokered x-rated images of Tonya Harding, Fred Durst, Jamie Foxx and others. I didn’t know that Tom and Kate wedding pics were worth $1 million, sure, maybe $20 but c’mon. Needless to say this guy sounds like an idiot, I mean at least sell the pics on the black market to a tabloid, not back to the celeb. I bet if David had tried to sell them back the photos but included an L. Ron Hubbard Scientology book they would have paid at least 5 mil. Dummy. Source ...

I Know What Movie Killed my Career 2007-07-27 08:01:22 The title might be the best part of “I Know Who Killed Me,” starring (if that’s the word) Lindsay Lohan. Sony Pictures declined to screen the serial-killer thriller for critics, and it’s opening today on only 1,200 screens nationwide - 3,000 fewer screens than “The Simpsons Movie. “Sony doesn’t have much faith [in the movie], or theater owners don’t have much faith,” Chad Hartigan of Exhibitor Relations, told a reporter. “According to industry tracking, the picture had a total awareness level of just 45 percent,” said box-office expert Steve Mason. He predicted that Lohan’s DWI/cocaine arrest this week will double weekend ticket sales from what they would have been to the still feeble range of $4 million to $7 million. Meanwhile, Lohan’s latest arrest came too late for Elle and Maxim magazines, both of which will feature her on their September covers. The issues will hit stands just about when Lohan has her ...
