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."

Usher's money hungry ho Tameka Foster spoke her opinion on jealous fans in Essence Magazine.

"We (black women) don't like ourselves. If I were Hispanic, Usher would have the sexiest wife alive. If I were mixed, he'd have the sexiest wife alive. "But he has a black girl, and it's like, 'She's horrible and she's ugly!' OK, maybe I don't fit the cookie-cutter standard - 25 and a size two - but this is who he loves."

I don't think Tameka's race is the problem. Look at Will Smith and Jada, Beyonce and Jay-Z, Denzel Washington and his wife, Kanye West and Alexis, it's that Tameka wants everyone to forget about her sex change and we're losing respect for Usher. He used to date Chili from TLC after all. What went wrong?

When asked what he is looking forward to most about being a new dad, Usher, 28, said his desires are pretty basic.

"I just want my son to fully be coherent and to be healthy, first and foremost. I've found that it is a step-by-step process. You can wish for a million and one things. But I hope that my son has the same energy I had as a child," Usher said. "Hopefully, he won't be as bad as me. I hope that he's just a healthy son."

Usher is already getting what he hopes for, considering he announced, "I want it to be a boy," on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in August.

On that same show he also gave some hints about what he'd name his male progeny. "If it's a boy, I'm going to name him Usher," the musician �" full name Usher Raymond �" said. "I'm hoping to name him that. I've been playing with a few names. I'm the fourth. Usher Raymond IV. I just want to pass the name on. Maybe I'll change the middle name."

Hmmm... I think Usher's going to put his lil Usher into show business. I can just sense it. :)

Usher says the wedding is still on!

Usher Raymond and his pregnant fiancée Tameka Foster cancelled their nuptials last Saturday, but don't count the couple out yet.

The singer exclusively tells Usmagazine that it's only a matter of time before they walk down the aisle. "As of right now we don't have a date but we will let you know when we do."

The couple, who had scheduled their July 28 wedding at the Long Island home of music executive L.A. Reid, called off the ceremony at the last minute without explanation.

"People are just hating," says the insider, who reveals the real reason they postponed the wedding was due to a pre-term labor scare.

According to the Usher source, at noon on Friday, the four-months pregnant Foster was admitted to St. Vincent's Medical Center in New York City after suffering cramping. But upon examination, says the source, "she learned it was just uneasiness brought on by the stress of the wedding."

At that point, the singer decided to postpone the ceremony. But no worries.

"Everbody's fine. Tameka and the baby are fine," Usher himself told Usmagazine.com on July 31, after the couple arrived via private plane in NYC (and Us got the exclusive photo!).

Usher, 28, and Foster, 37, became engaged in January after a year of dating. The couple announced Foster's pregnancy at the end of June. The baby will be Usher's first child. Foster has three children from a previous marriage.

Usher's wedding to his senior of 10 years, and future baby mama, Tameka Foster, was canceled on Saturday just hours in advance!

No one knows if the two are even still together. So, wtf happened?

The New York Daily News reports:

Some guests speculated Usher was furious after discovering his intended had concealed details of her past. Late last week, the National Enquirer reported that Foster was an ex-con whose drug-dealing ex-lover had been gunned down.

Still others wondered whether the long-standing enmity between Foster and Usher's mother was to blame. In May, the singer fired his mom, Jonetta Patton, from her job as his manager, allegedly at Foster's prompting. "Jonetta was invited to the wedding at the last minute, but she didn't want to go," a source told the Daily News. "She's not a hypocrite. As much as she loves her son, she's not going to pretend that everything's fine," the source said.

People magazine reports:

"Usher's mother [and former manager, Jonetta Patton, whom he fired in May] is against the wedding. That is one of the main obstacles. They only decided two weeks ago to have a wedding. They wanted to have it take place before the baby bump started showing."

Usher and Foster also "had a lot of differences about the details. For example, the bride wanted barbeque, [and] he wanted to have [renowned chef] Jean Georges cook," said the source.

As a result of the differences, the wedding "was on again off again for the past few days. [Foster] was calling it off because she wasn't getting the things that she wanted. The mother was calling it off. … Usher was calling it off."

Life& Style also reports that Usher invited his estranged father to the ceremony. Robin Thicke was scheduled to perform and the guest list included Janet Jackson, Jermaine Dupri, Ashanti, Nelly, Beyonce and Jay-Z.

Woo hoo! Tameka is an alleged ex-con who's causing such a rift between Usher and his mother. She's gone from assistant to knocked up engaged slut. She's controlling, which also makes her fugly, and there's speculation that Usher's not even the baby daddy. I wanna see a DNA test.

They're complete opposites. Usher wanted a chef, bitch wanted a backyard barbecue - it was never gonna last! Their whole whirlwind romance and wedding is just too hood and Usher's classy and the bitch needs to get the fug away from him. Something about her is dirty and stanky.
