Usher's wedding canceled

The wedding of Usher and his pregnant fiance, Tameka Foster, which was set to take place today in the Hamptons, has been abruptly canceled. The news was released in a statement by Usher's rep that read, "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." The couple became engaged earlier this year, and announced in January that they are expecting their first child together. Foster has three children from a previous marriage.

Paris in rehearsals for singing horror flick

Producers are expected to announce the casting of Paris Hilton in Repo! The Genetic Opera, rock opera/horror film that will begin shooting in September. The futuristic flick, which is completely sung, chronicles an organ failure epidemic in 2056 that forces people to perfect genetically perfect organs from a biotech company. "The idea is that everybody is buying up organs, and they cannot afford to pay for these organs," the film's director told MTV. "Thus, legalized organ repo-men come into the picture. Murder becomes sanctioned by law. So, if you buy a heart and can't afford it, someone can burst through the door and take your heart out...and they don't get in trouble for it." I'm not sure what makes this flick a horror - the plot or the fact that Paris Hilton has a singing role. On Tuesday night, the heiress did not reveal specifics but did admit to being in rehearsals for a "very cool and unique project." "We're just in the studio," she said. "We're doing dance and singing."

Beauty Find: Wild Honeysuckle

Honeysuckle reminds me of my summers spent in montana as a young girl. There is something so light and fresh about this scent. I love wearing this Wild Honeysuckle Eau de Toilette in the summer, when other perfumes can be too heavy and musky. Available at Bath and Body Works $18.50.

Last Purchase Before Vacay!

That's right, I'm off to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, where I'll be in tennis pinks when I'm not lazing on the beach. (I believe we're playing at the local high school, not some fancy country club). Check out my new gear:



Nike "Serena" tennis skirt, $36.99. Flouncy!

I also have this hilarious hat/visor/headband creation, which I purchased for $2 at some crappy store's going-out-of-business sale. It makes me giddy with happiness, simply because it is soooooo ridiculous. See?



Have a good week, bingers!

Richie gets four days in jail

Nicole Richie appeared in court in Glendale, California, this morning to face charges of DUI stemming from her December 2006 arrest. The diminutive star, wearing a loose-fitting black dress, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to four days in jail. She also agreed to serve three years probation, must enroll in an alcohol education program and was fined $2.048. "Someone could've gotten killed," the court commissioner scolded during the hearing. "You need to understand that driving under the influence is extremely dangerous." The Simple Life star has been given the option of serving her sentence in a paid city jail, which is seen as less rigid than a county facility. Her jail time must be completed before September 28.
