Is Usher's tranny wife making him an inconsiderate prick? Read on.I LOVE a good male diva story and Usher has one.

Usher's pre-taped, edited performance on last night's Dancing with the Stars finale was a DISASTER and had everyone on set freakin' out and scrambling to set up for the live show.

First, the 29-year-old singer arrived late, throwing the entire production behind schedule. Then, while appearing to lip-synch two songs�""Yeah!" and "Love in This Club"�"he fell out of step with his choreography, turning the wrong way once and losing his mic a second time. With each mistake he walked offstage.

Next, Usher to a long break to take a drink. A source told People magazine, "he was ridiculous, such a diva."

Following Usher's act, the DWTS cast and crew had only 15 minutes to prepare for the live show (rather than the standard 45-minute post-taping buffer.) "The [dancers] were all at their trailers ten minutes before the show was supposed to go live, like, ‘Don't we have a live show to do?" a source says. "There was a lot of holdup. We almost didn't [make it]."

The judges�"who were dressed in their finale show formalwear for the pre-show taping�"made a quick costume change, while a team of grips frantically wiped away scuff marks on the dance floor left behind by Usher and his dancers.

And just in the nick of time: the live show went off without a hitch. "It's never gotten that close before�"that was scary," Bergeron told PEOPLE about the taping frenzy. Joked the good-natured host: "I don't even know that [judges] Len and Bruno put on pants to come back, they changed outfits so fast!"

Usher's rep did not return phone calls, while Dancing's reps declined to comment.

This story would be better if he took a break to smoke weed and gulp down some 4Os. :)

The diva's video performances - after the jump

Ashlee Simpson was a beautiful bride, but what's up with the dark, shadowy eyes? Her eyes are gorgeous but the dark liner is distracting. Pete needs to stay away from her face. Guyliner is not for chicks!

Notice how Papa Joe has Jessica and Tony Romo dancing on the cover?! Jo Jo puts in so much effort.

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz's weekend wedding may have looked like the ultimate rocker event �" complete with 10,000 black magic roses, red-and-black décor and chandeliers dripping with crystals �" but for the couple and their 150 guests, it felt more like a sweet fairy tale, PEOPLE reveals in its new issue.

"She looked like a girl right out of a movie," the groom, 28, says about his new bride, 23, who wore an ivory lace Monique Lhuillier gown and a cathedral-length veil during the nondenominational ceremony officiated by her father, Joe Simpson.

A very pregnant Jessica Alba races to the altar just in time to make it before her baby gets here. Jessica married her favorite nobody, Cash Warren, in a private ceremony yesterday.

Jessica Alba and Cash Warren have gotten married.

The couple quietly wed Monday, says her rep, Brad Cafarelli.

Alba, 27, is expecting a daughter with Warren, 31, this summer.

The couple met while filming Fantastic Four and were engaged last December.

After confirming her pregnancy, Alba says she's been in "frantic nesting mode," taking time off from acting to get the house ready for the baby.

"People think if you're single, you are incomplete. No. The thing is, I don't want to be in a relationship that makes me incomplete."

Gurl, don't even get me started on all the dumb ass females who go out with losers just so they can say, "I got a man!"

More women need to say, 'I'm single and that's okay' instead of whining about it and having to answer questions revolved around, "WHY?!" Being miserable while in a relationship only makes you feel like the ass that you were once it's over and you realize everything's so much better when you're not dating someone who brings you down.

I was like, Angelina Jolie drug video? Okay. Bor-ring! But this is actually pretty good.

Angie's high, smiley and intense and it's like she thinks she's deep when she talks about her affinity for S&M, accidentally killing her pets and wanting poor kids to have shiny new costumes.

The video is oddly entertaining. The footage is from '99 when Angie was 23. Some chick next to her is smoking heroin and Angelina's in a drug den, but she's not seen taking drugs during the footage, instead she's providing insight on a wide range of very important topics. "You're not supposed to feed your rabbit lettuce?!"

Since I've been online checking up on Sen. Edward Kennedy's status, I thought I'd give some summarized data on his diagnosis.

A cancerous brain tumor caused the seizure Sen. Edward M. Kennedy suffered over the weekend, doctors said Tuesday in a grim diagnosis for one of American politics' most enduring figures.

• Doctors for the Massachusetts Democrat say tests conducted after Kennedy suffered a seizure this weekend show a tumor in his left parietal lobe. Preliminary results from a biopsy of the brain identified the cause of the seizure as a malignant glioma.

• His treatment will be decided after more tests but the usual course includes combinations of radiation and chemotherapy.

• He remains in good spirits and full of energy," they said.

• Kennedy's wife and children have been with him each day but have made no public statements.

• Malignant gliomas are a type of brain cancer diagnosed in about 9,000 Americans a year â€" and the most common type among adults. It's a starting diagnosis: How well patients fare depends on what specific tumor type is determined by further testing.

Average survival can range from less than a year for very advanced and aggressive types â€" such as glioblastomas â€" or to about five years for different types that are slower growing.

• Kennedy, the second-longest serving member of the Senate and a dominant figure in national Democratic Party politics, was elected in 1962, filling out the term won by his brother, John F. Kennedy.

Ladies, put the ice cream DOWN! How do men deal with a breakup? By turning into friggin' man whores.

Owen Wilson tried to off himself last August after his split with Kate Wilson, but after they split the second time, he headed straight for a Philly strip club last Thursday where he partied it up with a topless Hudson look-alike. Even better! He got a Kate Hudson look alike and she had tits?! Kate wears like an AAAA cup. Good job, Owen! :)

"He spent 4½ hours at Rick's Cabaret and was in an upbeat mood," one spy said. "He watched the Flyers game, drank beer, and when a parade of 75 half-naked girls caught his eye, he asked for dances from several and definitely had a preference for blondes. He tipped at least one with a $100 bill."

After the club, the big titty version of Kate "spent some private time" with Owen in a VIP suite. I wonder what was going on in there?

"If he had any problems, you'd never know it. He didn't seem upset in the least," the buxom look-alike told us. "People tell me I look like Kate, and it didn't bother him at all." Another stacked dancer had a slightly different take. "He seemed to have other things on his mind. Usually, my 36D boobs can hypnotize anyone - but his mind was elsewhere," she said.

A slutty Owen is better than a suicidal Owen. Whatever works.

Life & Style has pics of Ashlee and Pete's wedding invite and their parting gift - a damn cookie.

Yesterday Brody Jenner's dad says that he wants Brody to settle down and get married, claiming that Frankie Delgado and Spencer Pratt are a "bad influence" because "He's been brought down by all his friends. It's not really him."

Today Spencer fired back saying,

"That's a bold statement for someone who only decided to try and be Brody's father after Brody got famous. He should focus more on trying to be a father and worry less about Brody's influences. Brody's doing just fine."

Bruce Jenner knows nothing about his pretty boy, man whore son, Brody. If Spencer does have an influence on Brody, it's a positive one. Spencer's into monogamy. He's obsessed with Heidi Montag and he's been with her silicone ass for like almost 2 years now.

I've removed my Spencer Pratt ban on POTP, but I didn't talk about him for a while. It felt good.
