Ah, Tameka Foster.
One of the celebrity gossip world’s most hated can always be counted on to stoke the passions of the haters just when things start to cool down.
Foster was “domineering” and displayed her trademark “Tameka wrath” during a video shoot for Usher’s song, “Love in the Club,” the New York Post says.
Tameka was visibly upset when she found out stunning singer / songwriter Keri Hilson was personally picked by Usher to play his love interest in the video.
“It was supposed to be a sexy video shoot,” a Post spy said.
“Tameka was there the entire time guarding like a watchdog. It was ridiculous. She knows Keri and knows she’s no video ho or Karrine Steffans.”
Nicknamed “Superhead,” Karrine Steffans wrote the book, “Video Vixen,” about her alleged flings with Usher, Bobby Brown and other artists.
“Tameka Foster is very insecure,” the source said. “Even in rehearsals she was weird and not happy that Keri is so gorgeous. Tameka threw a lot of attitude. The day of the shoot, Tameka dressed Keri very badly – like an extra. Tameka wouldn’t let Keri have her hairdresser there – she had to use the hairdresser who was doing the extras.”
Tameka Foster also has taken a serious dislike to Usher’s longtime choreographer, Jamaica, and has apparently gone so far as to banish Jamaica from the set.
Then, when Usher and Tameka Foster were spotted at the Beverly Hills Hotel last week, “They barely said one word to each other.”
The two have a choppy past to say the least. After they got engaged, Usher fired his mom, Jonetta Patton, as his manager and also axed his publicists. “Tameka was the one and only one to call the shots,” spies said.
They were supposed to wed last summer at L.A. Reid’s Hamptons estate – but the wedding was called off at the last minute. They wed a week later in Atlanta, and Foster gave birth to their son, Usher Raymond V, in November.
Usher’s album, which may be called Regret, was supposed to come out last year but was delayed due to his wedding and baby. It is expected by June.
Usher’s manager, Benny Medina, said via e-mail:
“Keri could not have been happier with Tameka’s choices in styling, hair and makeup … Jamaica was flown out and arrived a day late to do Keri’s choreography, and was on-set at all times. The shoot itself went brilliantly.”
