Usher and Tameka divorce?

Usher and his wife Tameka Foster are divorcing after only two years of marriage, and have already filed their divorce papers, according to InTouch Weekly. The couple have two children, Usher Raymond V, (18 months), and Naviyd (6 months). The family had a health scare earlier this year when Tameka wound up in a coma during liposuction surgery in South America. InTouch reports that the couple have been living apart for the past year. Seeing that their child is only six months old, we’re thinking someone’s a big, fat liar. But here it gets really exciting, because Tameka has told TMZ she has no idea she’s supposedly divorcing and the court claims they haven’t received papers from Usher, either.

Eddie Cibrian’s wife gives LeAnn a verbal beating

Eddie Cibrian’s (Cole in Sunset Beach and Couch Diaz in Ugly Betty) wife has accused his Northern Lights co-star, country singer LeAnn Rimes, of being a stalker! Brandi Glanville tells US Magazine (the mag that brought Eddie and LeAnn’s alleged affair to light), “She refuses to leave us alone – it is shameful and scary. People are going to say it takes two to tango, and I get that, but at some point LeAnn needs to stop asking him to dance.” Bradi claims Eddie’s had to change his cell number to stop LeAnn’s calls, and that she deliberately ‘bumped into him’ at a recent sports event. She tells the mag she’s not going to be an ex-wife any time soon. “I'm a happy wife fighting for what I have. LeAnn is so desperate for fame she has left her self-respect in the gutter and doesn't care who she hurts to get what she wants. She’s hurting my family and messing with the wrong mom.”

Best wishes to Susan Boyle

Britain’s Got Talent star Susan Boyle is enjoying a much-needed rest, and some privacy and counselling in British counselling facility The Priory, after being beaten to first place in the show’s finale by dance troupe Diversity. According to the Washington Post, Talent judge Piers Morgan had written in his blog that Susan “…told me she'd spent most of the week crying, throwing up, not sleeping and generally feeling the weight of the world's pressures on her.” Susan has fans all over the world wishing her well, including British PM Gordon Brown, who called the show’s creator, Simon Cowell, to find out how she was. The newspaper quotes celeb culture expert Cintra Wilson’s sympathetic response to Susan’s “breakdown”: “The healthiest possible response to this kind of stimuli. Any person whose sanity is worth a grain of salt will crack. This is the normal response. You cannot do that and not suffer. That's exactly what she should be doing.”
