Usher's mama and manager Jonetta Patton is reportedly against her son dating his former stylist, Tameka Foster. A source tells the New York Daily News: "Him dating her is causing a serious family rift." Also, Patton reportedly fired Foster because, ?she didn't think she was dressing (Usher) according to the caliber of star he was.? The newspaper reports that the still-married Foster has three children and may be older than the 33 years she claims. A rep for the singer said: "He and Tameka are friends. Jonetta Patton is his manager and will always be his manager."

Mariah Carey, like the rest of us, likes to get her sleep on whenever possible. "When I'm not working, I'm so about the bed," Carey tells V magazine, adding she needs about 15 hours of sleep to be fully functional the next day. "I'm literally like a 2-year-old, I just eat and watch TV, not that that's something to be proud of." To nurture her multi-octave voice, Carey said she has a secret room in her house, ?a room that I didn't show on 'Cribs,' because it wasn't done yet,? she adds, stating the room has 20 humidifiers around a bed with terrycloth bedding. "Basically it's like sleeping in a steam room,? she says. ?The ceiling is pitched so the water can't fall on my head, and it all drips down to the side, and the TV is behind glass."

J.Lo pregnancy rumors are back in effect. This latest round was sparked by recent sightings of Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony doing ?tons of shopping? for baby clothes. A source tells MSNBC: ?He was at Fred Segal [on Melrose Ave. in Los Angeles] last week and bought a Guys Infant Gear diaper bag for $120. He said something that made it pretty clear that it wasn?t a gift ? that he intended to use it.?
