Add Usher to the list of celebrities with a mom-ager!

“Usher has dissolved his management arrangement with Benny Medina and has re-engaged Jonnetta Patton as his manager,” his rep said in a statement Wednesday.

The New York Daily News reported in July, that Usher was disappointed that his CD “Here I Stand” sold 433,000 copies in its first week, compared with his last CD, 2004’s “Confessions,” which had sales of 1.1. million its first seven days.

“People have been telling Usher to listen to his mother,” a source told the New York Daily News. “Nobody knows how to sell him better than she does.”

With Jamie Lynn being a smart ass bitch for living in the South, we rarely see her and we probably rarely will. Here she is yesterday. Jamie took 7-week-old daughter Maddie Briann to a trip to Wal-Mart in McComb, Miss.

Jamie doesn’t need to shop at Wal-Mart; she can at least afford Target.

Heath Ledger Investigation Officially Closed

The U.S. Attorney’s Office closed its investigation into Heath Ledger’s accidental overdose death and will not enforce a subpoena against Mary-Kate Olsen, a law-enforcement source told PEOPLE.

The probe was closed without any charges being filed.

Olsen, 22, was subpoenaed by a federal grand jury on April 23, but her attorney had been in negotiations with federal authorities since then, the source said.

Olsen had wanted immunity before testifying. Olsen’s attorney released a statement saying the actress “had nothing to do” with Ledger’s drugs and had already provided “relevant information” to investigators.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office and Olsen’s rep both declined to comment.

Ledger, 28, was found dead in his Soho apartment on Jan. 22, and the coroner determined the actor died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs for pain, anxiety and sleep.

I hope Heath’s family is relieved. They’re one step close to closure now.
