Singer CHRISTINA MILIAN has split from producer THE-DREAM less than a year after the couple wed in Las Vegas. The R&B stars eloped in September (09) and Milian announced she was pregnant with her new husband's child weeks later. They exchanged vows for a second time in Rome, Italy in December (09) and welcomed daughter Violet in February (10). But the union wasn't to be and the marriage was over almost as soon as it began - although the couple chose to keep the news under wraps for the sake of their baby girl. Milian and her beau even posed for a U.S. magazine photoshoot in April (10), introducing their newborn tot to the world.
Confirming the break-up, The-Dream's representative tells UsMagazine.com, "Terius 'The-Dream' Nash is saddened to announce that his marriage to Christina Milian was unsuccessful. "The couple reached this decision in late 2009, but decided to keep the news private in efforts to protect their baby daughter Violet. They ask for consideration and respect for their family moving forward." The release of the statement coincides with the publication of photos of the producer on vacation with his assistant, Melissa Santiago.
The shots of the pair frolicking together in the Caribbean has raised speculation about the status of his relationship with Milian. It's The-Dream's second failed marriage - he was previously wed to singer Nivea, with whom he has three children.

Rapper Nas has been slapped with a $100,000 bill after a judge in his ongoing divorce and custody battle with estranged wife Kelis ordered him to pay spousal and child support payments, and cover his ex's legal fees.
The I Can hitmaker will have to pay over $80,000 in spousal support and legal fees and an extra $10,647 in child support for his baby, born just after he and Kelis separated earlier this year (09). At the beginning of the latest court hearing, Kelis testified she and Nas attempted to reconcile in September (09). The case continues.
Usher has been slammed by estranged wife Tameka Foster, because she claims she only found out he was divorcing her when she read an article about it. Foster first heard he wanted to make their split official when news of their divorce appeared on the internet, which left the stylist hurt. "It was rumored [the divorce], so friends and family called, saying, 'Are you OK?' I didn't really understand why."
"But Usher and I weren't really speaking then. He was away recording, and I was angry at other things going on. He filed two days later." Tameka also revealed she still has feelings for the singer, telling People: "I still love him very much and I'm sure I always will. Do I want to be with him? I don't know."
I'm sure he doesn't wanna be with you! Get real and keep your phone calls to your side of the border!
Since Tameka Foster is now mad that she found out about Usher's divorce plans on the internet. She must take all measures to save that marriage now. It may be too late. I have never been married but if I were a soon to be Usher's wife, I would keep my shyt on the down low. In Africa, we have polygamy like my dad has more than one wife but my mom is #1. The ladies have their own crib, and the man takes care of each of them. Here in North America, you call that phenomenom "baby mama." My son KJ's big brother (lookalike..lol) Akon has 3 of them so does L'il Wayne.
Let's take Weezy's ladies. The other day I showed you the top baby mamas Sarah B and Toya. So classy and poised! Then there is Lauren London and Nivea the other polished two. (I hate to call them lower two) By "top" I actually meant that Sarah had Weezy's first son while Toya had the first daughter. Lauren and Nivea may well be the middle baby mamas, we don't know yet. There may be others in line. Go Weezy!
Back to that human tick Tameka, by keeping your shyt down low, you will not do much to get noticed sista. No one even heard about Toya's divorce to Hot Boyz L'il Wayne especially after that lovely white wedding they had. First yesterday 10/27/09, Tameka's lawyer called World Star Hip-Hop telling them to take down the Fish net detective wrinkled stomach picture down because it was in their video portal. You know we bloggers have photo accounts with Getty, Wire Image, Mirror Image and more. First we purchase pictures all over the place and then there are stock photographers.
You DID NOT need to go harass WSHH. We are online partners as well as Dime Wars. Video portals supply videos to bloggers. Though they took down your wedding pictures with the pink stamp "IT'S OVER" and the fishy one (BTW, I have me a wrinkled stomach too after 3 kids and I'm 46 but damn, I look good and could do better than that in front of Derek Blanks) You could not resist the almost total 50,000 hits so you filed a copyright claim to YouTube to yank my video.
Well Tameka, I respect copyright and even though the wedding picture was fished from Natasha's YBF which I credited as "via YBF", they are truly Essence magazine's photos/your wedding photos. Well I'm sorry about that to Essence and you....BUT my audio of you calling my home to curse is going NOWHERE! You have made a fool of yourself and from what I hear from YouTubers, when a copyright claim is made, It usually has the name of the party as in the company. You just had to have your name on there didn't you? Couldn't your people call me? Below is an example of her attacks on Atlanta blogger Sandra Rose on Twitter. With this human tick, you need screen shots all the time.
Guess you made the stupid call to my home after all. BET's blogs described your ordeal with bloggers "Part 47!!" This is part 48. Unleash the Ryan Cameron Videos, all 3 of them, Open your tweets (btw, that cartoon looks better than you) and call here to apologize and stop being a certified NUT! Further below is the stupid message Tameka left me once again. You can play it over and over. Thank God for the WSHH portal. baby, I still got Imeem, so FOCK your pictures!
You may wanna tell YouTube that I have deleted the video and it's still playing on blogs, so GOD is not letting technology work. The screen shots are what I'm getting on my end. Tameka, there is a GOD. Go concentrate on your kids and leave Usher alone. I'm not even buying some suggestions that Usher's people called this house to sell records as some commenter's wrote on YouTube.
The dynamic Zaytoven who produced "Papers" did a good job but Usher said it wasn't about you. Girl, get a Prozac! I'm a 25-year Pharmacist during the day! Music is just my love and hobby. I even have a rap album in the works with Kama. He's our Jazze Phae/DJ Toomp of Canada. I may have a track on you in there. I got my 116 patients and don't protect my tweets. Follow me on HipHossip too. I now have the police report in my hands and will PDF it when I'm ready. Toronto Police don't play. They did not listen to my COMPUTER, they listened to my phone!! The documentation says "suspicious phone harrasment and stalking."
They also saw your other 5 blocked calls at night. Don't wake us up if you can't SLEEP. Usher is probably sleeping tight.....with someone else. I've had it! When VH1 discovered this blog in 2007, I did not know that I will end up with celeb wife headaches. You are not a celeb, your husband and clients are. Sweets is the #1 hairdresser in Toronto and nobody knows him over there. He does Keyshia Cole's hair and others and humble about it. Must everyone know Tameka?
You be the JUDGE and JURY. I am not at all interested in shopping her voice. She is a Stylist and it will be hard to get new clients with such behaviour like this. In her interview with Ryan Cameron, she specifically said that she does not discuss former clients while asked about Usher. I truly believe she owes me an apology.
This is my YouTube comment.Thanks to Natasha at theYBF for the tip.
"Ryan Cameron is one hell of a professional. Ryan it's Kemi@hiphossipdotcom. I'm back home in Canada. Tameka is a great chic as far as I am concerned. Fock Wendy Williams! They need to let this girl breathe. She is independent! She will be OK. Love Usher, Love Jonetta Patton but we in the media are the ones elevating these publicity stunts. I feel for Tameka's 7 kids. Just intvd Tiny the other day from here in Canada and it's all about the kids. Im posting this on celebritysinglemomfotinfo too."
It appears Usher may have officially ended his marriage to Tameka Foster Raymond. We just found out the status of the divorce changed in the official record to "Disposed." A court official tells TMZ when a divorce case is "Disposed" it typically means the divorce is final.The couple married in August, 2007. They have two small kids together.
A source connected with the couple tells TMZ Usher signed the divorce papers in August, but the change in the court file occurred today.
Rapper SWIZZ BEATZ has laughed off rumours he cheated on his wife with superstar singer ALICIA KEYS. The Grammy winner split from Mashonda, his wife of four years, in April (08). But he insists rumours Keys was involved in the separation, are false. Beatz - real name Kasseem Mike Dean - says "I can no longer ignore the harmful rumours, that my friend Alicia Keys is in any way linked to my marital circumstances or to the decision that Mashonda and I have made to separate.
"I am disappointed that some have chosen to try and tarnish Alicia's reputation by irresponsibly implicating her in a situation that she has absolutely nothing to do with. "This experience has been one of the most difficult times in my life, and as was stated when we announced our separation several months ago, I ask that you continue to respect my privacy in dealing with this personal matter."
Can someone tell me why he's just talking now? Poor Mashonda. We spotted her lovely self at Fashion week last week....alone obviously.
JUST IN: R&B singer Usher reportedly has separated from his much older wife, Tameka Foster, who reportedly is expecting their second child in December. I don't know what to make of this but I read it in Stella Foster's gossip column in the Chicago Tribune. Scroll way down to the story after the teen pregnancy story.
"There is no honor in the rap game, especially if you're a married rapper as in the case with Mos Def's wife former video vixen & self proclaimed groupie Alana Wyatt. The above audio is a recent interview done with itsdnb.com about her up coming tell all that details their marriage & current divorce proceedings, the abuse she suffered, her one night stands, her "friendship" with Shaq, the five NBA players she's dated which includes Antawn Jamison & Jermaine O'neal and how she was infamous for accepting thousands of dollars from these ball players promising to visit them only to never get on the flight. And oh yeah she wants Lil Wayne, Chris Brown and an X5. Uhh...yeah. - ICE"
SO, EXACTLY WHY IS EVERYONE GOING BONKERS ON THIS WOMAN? If she wants to dish out her dirt, let her. I won't dare call her a slut because some of you out there are worse! Do not judge people y'all! Thank God there are no comment fields here. ICEDOT's field is crazy!!!!
It can't be true buy The YBF is reporting it and sticking by their story and you know the YBF is a super credible partner site of HipHossip. Stay tuned as we have already seen all the stories Natasha broke over there when nobody knew........or even wanted to believe!
Meanwhile Usher is on this week's cover of Entertainment Weekly.
UPDATE#1 (Toronto)2.50pm ET: I am still working feverishly on this story and it is mixed. My Snitch tells me they are happily married but she has been seen at her Old Alabama road house a lot lately in Atlanta. Could Tameka just want some time alone? My mom does that all the time. She has a country home she built before she met my dad and goes there when they fight and we have to do no chores!LOL!
UPDATE#2 (Toronto) 3.41pmET: Usher is clueless on Ellen in 15 mins at 4pm about this separation. He says "The opinion is that maybe this wife has come in and torn something down … she’s built it up even more now the foundation of who and what I am is even more. This stands for more what I want to see more of … I want to see more men standing with their women. I want to see more men be open and honest about where they are in life and that’s a lot of what I chose to talk about in my music not necessarily just about my relationship just about being vulnerable being honest … that’s the reality." C'mon guys, they are happily hitched!
UPDATE#3 (Toronto) 4.29pmET:Hot 107.9 Atlanta midday radio diva Mz Shyneka spoke with Tameka Foster Raymond today regarding the rumors that she and her baby daddyUsherhave split. Her exact words to Mz Shyneka were: “All my haters wish that on us but it’s not true at all. We are happy!” Shout out to Mz Shyneka for the tip
Word is that Usher actually filed for separation 3 weeks ago. The album has leaked, a new video is out and the CD is due in just 6 days. Could it be a publicity stunt? He's just done an MTV promo with Tameka on the set as well as well as Dancing with the Stars and SNL. Stay tuned! More on how my partner blog YBF deciphers it and what the audience's comments are.
JERMAINE JACKSON is officially single after finalising his divorce from ex-wife ALEJANDRA on Monday (19May08). The couple split in 2004 after nine years of marriage.Jackson agreed to the divorce settlement, which includes him paying off a $100,000 debt in return for Alejandra waiving all spousal support claims, according TMZ.com. The debt will partly go towards paying for her attorney fees, with the rest being used to bring Jackson, 50, up to date with child support payments.
Jackson will pay $3,000 a month child support for the former couples' children, Jaffar and Jermajesty, and was granted visitation rights to see the children while Alejandra continues to hold physical custody. Jackson's company, Jermaine Jackson Entertainment, Inc., will remain under his control, as will the former couple's jewellery. Jewellery? What's wrong with celeb marriages these days?
Hip-hop mogul RUSSELL SIMMONS' divorce from KIMORA LEE SIMMONS has just turned nasty after the former model filed for sole custody of the couple's young daughters. The Def Jam Records co-founder has challenged his estranged wife's divorce petition in a Los Angeles court, and is seeking joint physical and legal custody of his daughters, Ming, eight, and Aoki, five. The couple wed in 1998 and split in 2006, citing irreconcilable differences. In her divorce filing in March (08), Kimora Lee requested that her estranged husband get "reasonable child visitation" to his kids. Both parties are also asking the court to deny spousal support for the other.
AMY WINEHOUSE's husband BLAKE FIELDER-CIVIL has sparked fears his marriage to the singer is in trouble, after he was seen blowing kisses to another woman at his latest court appearance. Fielder-Civil appeared at London's Snaresbrook Crown Court on Friday (25Apr08) for the latest hearing in his ongoing legal case. He is currently being held on remand at London's Pentonville Prison on charges of perverting the course of justice, relating to a previous charge of grievous bodily harm, and Judge David Radford ruled he will remain there until at least 9 June (08). Look what they did to each other last year!
Fielder-Civil is normally supported in court by his famous wife, but Winehouse was unable to attend Friday's (25Apr08) hearing as she was reportedly due to attend a North London police station to be quizzed on allegations of assault.
Instead, Fielder-Civil was supported by his father and 21-year-old Sophie Schandorff - who was seen blowing kisses to him from across the courtroom. Winehouse's spouse was seen responding by mouthing "I love you" back to the blonde. But Schandorff, who insists she is simple his "best friend", tells People.com she has known Fielder-Civil for two years and plans on visiting him in prison. She says, "Hopefully tomorrow (I will visit him). But he has to call me." Fielder-Civil's trial is due to begin on 2 June (08). This girl is getting worse than Britney. Somebody help AMY!!!!! Please!

Contact music reports that BOBBY BROWN is fuming with his ex-wife WHITNEY HOUSTON because she won’t sign off on a DVD release of the fallen R&B star’s BEING BOBBY BROWN reality TV show. Houston, who appeared heavily in the series, and wasn’t always portrayed in a good light, is refusing to give Brown the OK to cash in on DVD sales, and he insists that’s eating heavily into his potential income.
He tells In Touch magazine, ‘Whitney blames the show for ruining her career and she won’t sign off on the contract to release the DVD. There’s a lot of money to be made, but, because she won’t cooperate, we’ll never see it. I have a serious problem with that because it affects my income.’”
Singer CHRISTINA MILIAN has split from producer THE-DREAM less than a year after the couple wed in Las Vegas. The R&B stars eloped in September (09) and Milian announced she was pregnant with her new husband's child weeks later. They exchanged vows for a second time in Rome, Italy in December (09) and welcomed daughter Violet in February (10). But the union wasn't to be and the marriage was over almost as soon as it began - although the couple chose to keep the news under wraps for the sake of their baby girl.
