    As the singer makes his debut as Billy Flynn in "Chicago," famous friends come out to cheer him on.

(CBS)  Usher and Tameka Foster wed in a large, glitzy ceremony Saturday after exchanging vows a few weeks ago in a civil ceremony, a magazine reported.

About 200 people attended the dream wedding of the Grammy-winning R&B singer and his new wife, held at a 16th-century-style French chateau resort on 3,500 hilly acres outside Atlanta, People.com reported.

Guests dined in the ballroom and ate from a five-tiered white-chocolate-covered wedding cake created by the same bakery that recently did actress Eva Longoria's confection, the magazine reported.

A private ceremony was held Aug. 3 in the office of Usher's lawyer. The 28-year-old singer and Foster, who is 37, had called off their July 28 wedding amid reports that Foster had checked into a hospital because of problems with her pregnancy.

The couple announced their engagement this year and later said Foster was expecting Usher's first child. She has three children from a previous marriage.

A call by The Associated Press to Patti Webster, Usher's publicist, went unanswered late Saturday, and she did not immediately respond to an e-mail message seeking comment.

These older women chasing younger males are nothing but witches. They wasted their youth with bad decisions; then they set out for a ''second chance at life''. And they don''t care if in the process they ruin it for a young mindless male, who is still too much under his mother''s dress to avoid the old witches.

You are an old lonely female; none can be more foolish, AND A DANGER TO YOUNG FEMALES.

Ever heard of successful people talking about "marrying for love'', if they have any sense?

"Love" is nothing but the mixed up flow of hormones and wild emotions.
The young and out of control mind is a slave to those evils.

If a woman is 52 and is unlucky and unlikely to attract a mature man (or mature men are wise enough to give her a wide berth) then it is only the young and foolish male who is going to allow himself to be a VICTIM of a female who already wasted her youthful attractiveness, if there was every any.

Beadazzle much luck to you...52 is a safer wager than 37 with kids still at home to raise. Usher needs a lot of well wishes on this one. I am sure he was well warned so it''s on him. Love is one thing...ignorant bliss is something altogether different. At 37 and 52 you know the difference...at 28 chances are good, it''s still a well-kept secret.

Agnim How refreshing to have you nail it to the wall, as only you can do...now I understand rumors that his mama wasn''t too happy with this union. And NOT because of the age difference...but she comes with some major baggage...specifically...babies and baby daddies. Chance are excellent he will end up paying for those babies for the rest of his life and she''ll be on to greener pastures (3 years, tops). These little hard headed knuckle heads will learn...eventually...that mama is usually right. Wifie and Mama smack down...comin atcha.

I give it five years. Six years tops.

Women & their big, "glitzy" weddings. You gotta love ''em. Surprise me sometime & have a nice, modest, quiet wedding that didn''t cost the GNP of Haiti.

Won''t ya?

Have you ever heard of the word called LOVE? Love knows no age limit. Love knows no color of skin. Love knows no ugly or beauty. Love is timeless. Love is the one feeling that makes one feel so good,that when your inlove and are looking through loves eyes you can see no wrong in the one your inlove with.

Men marry younger ladies all the time and no one finds this wrong,so why can''t a younger man marry an older woman,with out everyone complaining about the age difference.I''m 52 and would love to marry a younger man,if i was to fall inlove with one.

May Usher and Tameka have a long and wonderful marriage.

Usher has got to be a mama''s boy or something strange to be marrying his ''mom''.

There can be no good reason for any male to not marry a female that is much younger.
