The flowers and decorations were already set up in LA Reid’s Hampton home when the wedding for Usher and Tameka Foster was called off. The guests expected to attend were told not to come. There is no word on whether the event will be rescheduled or whether they are even still engaged. The publicist is mum on the details surrounding the cancellation but had this to say:

“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.”

Damn that’s a cold game! I’m sure all the tawdry details will be spilling out sooner rather than later. A lot of drama surrounding the couple has been all over the net this week with the National Enquirer printing a story that Tameka Foster has a criminal past and has cruel ways towards her family. I didn’t want to post that and all the other drama, because there is a part of me that feels like people should just give them a break and let them enjoy the last week leading up to their marriage…BUT seeing as how the nuptials may not be pending anymore, I would be remiss to not report this lol. Anyway…being a sucker for love, if their feelings for each other are genuine I hope everything works out for the best…but I have a feeling that it’s only going to get more humiliating for the both of them.

What do you guys think about the wedding being called off for the last minute (for reasons obviously having nothing to do with the weather by the way)? Was all the scrutiny too much for both of them to handle? Do you have at least a little bit of sympathy for them for having to go through all this in the public eye or did they bring it upon themselves by talking about it so much to the media (i.e. Essence Mag, People, MTV)? Could all of this have been a publicity stunt?

UPDATE 7/31: Usher told US Magazine that the wedding is back on. Here is the story:

The singer exclusively tells Usmagazine.com that it’s only a matter of time before they walk down the aisle. “As of right now we don’t have a date but we will let you know when we do.”

Multiple newspaper and online outlets speculated that the cancellation was due to bad blood between Foster and Usher’s mother, recent reports about Foster’s criminal past, and Foster’s resistance to signing a prenuptial agreement.

However, a source close to the couple dismisses the rumors.

“People are just hating,” says the insider, who reveals the real reason they postponed the wedding was due to a pre-term labor scare.

According to the Usher source, at noon on Friday, the four-months pregnant Foster was admitted to St. Vincent’s Medical Center in New York City after suffering cramping. But upon examination, says the source, “she learned it was just uneasiness brought on by the stress of the wedding.”

At that point, the singer decided to postpone the ceremony. But no worries.

“Everbody’s fine. Tameka and the baby are fine,” Usher himself told Usmagazine.com on July 31, after the couple arrived via private plane in NYC (and Us got the exclusive photo!).

Foster chimed: “We’re good. We’re all doing great now.”

I’m so over all this b.s. they need to just go ahead and quietly get married already. Just thought I would update those who are interested.
