After what has been a controversial courtship, Usher has cancelled his wedding to Tameka Foster at the very last minute and left the whole set-up at LA Reid's Hampton's home empty! The AP report (via Forbes) that the singer's publicist Patti Webster issued this statement:

"It was announced today that the wedding ceremony for Usher Raymond, IV and Tameka Foster was canceled. No additional information will be given regarding the circumstances of the cancellation, but we hope the privacy of this matter will be respected."


Tamika's pregnant with her fourth child (Usher's first) and is due in the fall.

Usher's mom Jonetta Patton may be behind this -- she fired Tameka as her son's stylist months ago because, she claims, Tameka wasn't dressing Usher in a way befitting of his stardom. That, and her belief that Tameka had designs on a mangement position for herself in Usher's camp, led mama Patton to get fierce with Tameka and to warn Usher to kick his girlfriend to the curb, or else ... So what'd the prodigal son do? Go knock up his g-friend and propose marriage!
