Tameka Foster
Gossip

We owe every Tameka Foster hater an apology.

From the outset of her relationship with Usher, his fans have been bashing Foster and her intentions with the R&B singer. Looks like they were right.

A few weeks after it was announced that the couple had been living apart for almost a year, Foster is going on record with her supposed ignorance over the state of her marriage.

In a court filing this week, Tameka claims she and her soon-to-be ex-husband have not been separated since July 2008 and were actually "intimately together" less than a week before he began divorce proceedings.

Come on, Tameka. TMI!

She had "every reason to believe her marriage was intact," Foster's lawyer states in documents filed Monday in Atlanta.

However, because it clearly was not, the mother of two sons with Usher now aims for her estranged husband to take care of all legal fees pertaining to the divorce and to continue to support his family financially.

Let's hope Grace Miguel, Usher's rumored new squeeze, is a bit more of an understanding woman. Can't a brother just sing, dance, sport the best abs in Hollywood and be left alone when he wants to be?

Across the nations, millions of Usher fans are crying:

We told you so!

The singer was lambasted for his poor judgment when he married Tameka Foster; now, almost two years later, the couple is getting a divorce.

“The Grammy winner has been living apart from his wife for nearly a year after almost two years of marriage,” an insider told In Touch Weekly. “Usher’s primary concern is for his children. He is a great father and just wants to do what is right for them.”

Usher and Tameka are parents to a pair of toddlers: Usher Raymond V, 18 months; and Naviyd, 6 months.

While this is sad news, at least it clears Usher of any infidelity charges. The singer has been spotted recently with Grace Miguel. With abs like his, no shock that it doesn't take long to move on!

Tameka Raymond (also known by her maiden name, Tameka Foster) is headed home.

The wife of Usher has been released from a Sao Paulo hospital after spending over a week recovering from a cardiac arrest suffered prior to undergoing plastic surgery, a hospital spokeswoman announced earlier today.

At the family's request, no further details were available from the medical facility. Usher has not publicly commented on the situation since it broke.

Get well soon, Tameka!

Following a botched plastic surgey procedure, Tameka Foster appears to be on the road to recovery.

But an inside look at the path taken by Usher's wife, courtesy of People Magazine, reveals an irresponsible doctor and a woman that desperately wanted to lose her excess baby weight.

Here's what we know about the near-medical tragedy:

• Two months after giving birth, Tameka went to Brazil for liposuction on her stomach, according to Ellen Dasptry, a representative for Sao Paulo plastic surgeon Dr. Silvio Sterman.

• Before the surgery could commence, Foster went into cardiac arrest, which led to an induced coma. Said Dasptry:

"When an attack like this happens, the doctors put the patient to sleep... and make sure that everything is okay and that there has not been any damage. This is the protocol every time and this is what was done."

• Tameka spent a day in the ICU before being transferred to a larger facility, one of the best in Brazil, Sao Paulo's Hospital Sírio-Libanês.

Hopefully, Tameka Foster's experience can serve as a lesson to others. Follow the jump to read more about what happened.

Note to readers considering plastic surgery: conduct in-depth research on your doctor!

While Tameka Foster appears to be recovering from a medical emergency suffered during a liposuction operation Sao Paolo, the road hasn't been easy.

According to media outlets in Brazil, Usher's controversial wife underwent cardiac and respiratory arrest as she was being anesthetized for the procedure.

Scary stuff. We hope Lisa Rinna and Sharon Stone are paying attention.

Get well soon, Tameka Foster!

To the possible chagrin of Usher fans that wish her never married her, Tameka Foster is doing okay.

A representative of the singer says Foster "in stable condition after suffering complications from routine surgery in Brazil," earlier this week.

"Her husband, Usher, is with her at the hospital. No further details will be released, and the family requests privacy at this difficult time," the insider added.

As previously reported, the sexy crooner cancelled his performance at Saturday night's Recording Academy and Clive Davis' pre-Grammy Gala. The crowd was told that Usher bowed out due to a "serious injury in the family."

A serious family emergency caused Usher to cancel his performance at a pre-Grammy Awards party last night - and one celebrity gossip report claims it's because his wife, Tameka Foster, is in trouble after having cosmetic surgery.

Music bigwig Clive Davis announced at his Pre-Grammy Bash that Usher's last minute cancellation was due to a "serious injury in the family."

According to Access Hollywood, Tameka had "experienced complications from plastic surgery" in Brazil. What work she was having done is unclear.

Access claims a neurosurgeon is on the way to South America to assist Mrs. Usher - who just gave birth to their second child back in December.

An earlier report said that Tameka Foster was dead after botched plastic surgery, but Usher's rep quickly denied that. It is believed, however, that Foster did indeed suffer serious complications from a cosmetic procedure.

Above all else, we hope Tameka Foster is alright.

But we also look forward to seeing if she is worthy of joining our celebrity plastic sugery hall of fame! It's an elite group, but we think she can do it!

It's all but confirmed that DeShawn Snow is not returning for the second season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. A source at Bravo says “the public wasn’t interested in her life.”

Ouch.

While Kim Zolciak, Lisa Wu Hartell and Nene Leakes will all come back for this high-rated reality show, we're mostly excited about the rumored fourth housewife that will replace Snow.

Reportedly, Tameka Foster - Usher's fairly new, controversial wife - has been approached by the network. Insiders say they’re “in the last bit of talks” to make this cast addition official.

Tameka Foster, and her unusual fashion, might be headed to reality television.

Another celebrity baby has been ushered into the world.

Usher and Tameka Foster are the proud new parents of a boy named Naviyd Ely Raymond, born yesterday, as a source confirms that the singer was by his wife's side during the delivery.

The child joins older brother Usher Raymond V, who turned 1 on November 26.

Last month, Usher told Access Hollywood that his impending baby was "one of the best Christmas gifts there is to have."

Looks like the holidays have arrived early for the crooner and his wife!

Another baby is on the way for one of Hollywood's most controversial couples.

Tameka Foster and Usher welcomed their first child, Usher Raymond V, in November 2007.

Since then, the singer hasn't been shy about how much he loves being a father.

"I'm so proud to be a father by the time I'm 30," Usher said last month. "I'd hate to be 80 years old and not be able to run with my kids. I need to still be able to do flips when they're in high school!"

Usher is correct: he and Tameka Foster are expecting a second child!
