R&B superstar Usher has confirmed his engagement to long time girlfriend Tameka Foster. [Yeah we know his mother's probably mad about this BUT the good thing is that his album drops this November.] First Usher's engaged then Sanaa's supposedly engaged to Wale. With all these confirmed hook-ups, I'm quite sure it's hard to figure out who's dating who. Visit here to see the latest celebrity hook-ups.

Hip-Hop Weekly's reportedly that Tracee Ellis Ross is dating NBA baller Chris Webber (Tyra Banks' ex).

Marques Houston was seen with the latest jump-off Kim Kardashian. Ray J's wining and dating Whitney Houston.

Denyce and Wesley are still going strong. On again/off-again couple JRM and Reena can't get enough of the Big Apple. Halle bought along her man to promote her new movie, "Perfect Stranger."

Jocole [Joel Madden/Nicole Richie] are still going strong so are Vanick [Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey.]. Jessica Simpson still is attached to John Mayer.


So I've gotta ask which celebrity hook-up you can't enough of?

There's a new trend going around Hollywood--a pair of black YSL tribute pumps.
Pop superstars Beyonce Knowles and Christina Aguilera have both rock a pair of these shoes

as well as best friends Jennifer Lopez and Victoria Beckham.

[Have these ladies inspired a new trend? Is these shoes the 2007 fashion obsession? Time will only tell...]

Britney Spears has emerged from post-rehab to go clubbing at popular hot night spot, Bridge.

Britney Spears – a step closer to being officially single – heads for a night out at West Hollywood lounge Bridge on Thursday after hammering out a divorce settlement in a five-hour meeting with Kevin Federline.

Beyonce and her man Jay-Z were spotted in Japan. I'm going on my hunch that these pictures were from last year when Jay-Z was promoting his album, "Kingdom Come" overseas.
Busy Bee also did an candid interview with People En Espanol....

"Beyoncé is up to something new: singing in Spanish.

"I just feel like I have to learn Spanish because I can sing it – I just can't speak it," she says in the new issue of PEOPLE En Español.

On April 3 she'll release a new version of her CD B-Day, which originally came out in September. This time, she's added six new songs – all sung in Spanish, including "Amor Gitano," the theme to the Telemundo telenovela Zorro, which she delivers as a duet with Alejandro Fernandez.

"A lot of my fans are Hispanic," she says, "and they've always told me, 'You should sing something in Spanish,' but I don't speak Spanish at all. I took it in school [so] I thought, let me give this a try."

And trying it was. "I did these songs phonetically, sentence by sentence, and I spent a lot of time ... making sure it was perfect, because I didn't want to disrespect the language, because it's so beautiful," says the Texas-born singer, 25, who brought help with her to the recording session.

"One of my best friends in the world is Cuban, so she was the test. I brought her to the studio and told her, 'Be honest. You have to tell me if anything is wrong.' So when she approved it, I knew everything was right."

Would she ever do an entire album in Spanish? "I would love to," she says. "I wanted to see how people would respond to me singing in Spanish and I'm so grateful that people have opened up their hearts to what I've done."
