Eddie Murphy pops the question

"Dreamgirls" star Eddie Murphy proved that girlfriend Tracey Edmonds is his favorite girl of all, by presenting her with a ginormous yellow diamond engagement ring this past week.

The ring was massive, but don't expect a blowout wedding. Murphy's first wedding to Nicole Mitchell in 1993 (they split in 2005), was a lavish $1.5 million affair, and is ranked by Forbes in the top ten most expensive celeb weddings of all time. This one, a friend told OK! magazine, "will be a private wedding. Something low key and very romantic."




Murphy is currently embroiled in a bitter battle with former girlfriend/baby mama Scary Spice aka Melanie Brown, with whom he has a child. He and Mel split right before he met Edmonds.

Usher's wedding woes

Why did Usher and Tameka Foster call off their wedding yesterday? It seems that absolutely nothing was working for the would-be bride and groom.


Usher's mother and former manager was part of the problem, as were differences in opinion between the couple. Usher's mother, Jonetta Patton, is against the wedding, and was only invited to the ceremony at the last minute. Her disapproval, a source told People, "is one of the main obstacles."

Usher wanted to take the reception upscale with a catered dinner from chef Jean Georges, while Foster wanted a backyard barbecue. "They only decided two weeks ago to have a wedding," said a source. "They wanted to have it take place before the baby bump started showing."

Paris Hilton: I never inhaled!

Paris Hilton has slammed reports she was smoking marijuana at a Hollywood nightclub with her close pal Kimberly Stewart’s ex-fiance Cisco Adler on Wednesday morning. Us Weekly magazine reported partygoers claimed Hilton and Whitestarr frontman Adler were spotted smoking the illegal weed and kissing at Guy’s Nightclub.

However, Hilton’s representative Michael Sitrick says, “Paris absolutely did not smoke pot Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, as I understand was reported. That report is false”.

When asked about her relationship to Adler, Sitrick adds, “She was with Cisco Tuesday night/Wednesday morning” Following her release from jail last month for violating her probation from a drink driving arrest, Hilton appeared on Larry King’s Cnn show to declare she had never taken drugs in her life.
