CHRISTINA MILIAN TO STAR IN NEW CW SITCOM, '8 DAYS A WEEK.'


After being dropped from her record label, Island Def Jam earlier this year due to poor record sales from her third album, So Amazin', R&B beauty Christina Milian has so far, successfully made progress in launching a career in the unpredictable world of television sitcoms. The singer, along with Mario Lopez (Dancing with the Stars, Saved by the Bell) and Robert Ri'chard (One on One) will star in Eight Days a Week, which will serve as a mid-season replacement (when one of the fall season's new shows falls through) series on the CW in early 2008.

The comedy sitcom revolves around four twentysomethings who work under the top movers and shakers in New York. Lopez will play one of the bosses, an impeccably dressed wunderkind with a cell phone attached to his ear. Milian will portray the role of assistant Olivia Campbell; a beautiful, young woman who left behind a law career to start over as a lowly entry-level job as a receptionist/gopher at an art gallery.

USHER & HIS 'MEKA MAN MONKEY ARE STARTING TO MAKE MY ASS ITCH.

US magazine is reporting that Usher and his groom of less than a month will exchange vows again, in an official wedding ceremony this weekend, in front of friends and family in their hometown of Atlanta. I guess it would kill Usher and his wife 'Meka Man Monkey to stay out of the spotlight for even a moment. I don't know whose the bigger camera hog....nevermind, yes I do. Over the past couple of months, the essence of Usher's bitch-ass ways have emerged like never before.

It hasn't even been a month since they tied the knot in Usher's lawyer's office in Atlanta. Just a week before, Usher(and allegedly Tameka) had called off their wedding due to a pregnancy scare Tameka experienced the night before she was supposed to walk down the aisle. *Note to Tameka* Stay your ass home and up out of the clubs with Usher wondering whose going to run up on him. Because here's the GOTCHA: you're the only one who wants him now. Trust.

The rumored event will be more in line with the couple's original plans for a ceremony and celeb-filled celebration. That gathering at the Hamptons home of record exec L.A. Reid was canceled at the last minute on July 28 in favor of a small private gathering days later on August 3. Guests are rumored to include Jermaine Dupri, Janet Jackson, Ashanti, and Diddy.

RIHANNA: I LOST A LOT OF MY FRIENDS OVER THEIR JEALOUSNESS TOWARDS ME.'

Pop star Rihanna is so successful she has lost many of her friends over their jealousy towards her. The 19-year-old singer - who dominated the global charts with her summer track Umbrella - admits she finds it hard to make new pals because of her beauty and successful career. She says, "When I was in school I had a lot of jealousy. I lost a lot of my friends to jealousy when I won a beauty pageant. When I signed my record label it got worse. People were very envious."
While the music biz may have safely guided the early stages of her career, it didn't protect her from salacious gossip. So when the very real drama of her mother being forced out of her longtime accounting job by catty co-workers who resented Rihanna's success unfolded back home, she was prepared to stand strong. "I don't want my mom to be in an uncomfortable situation," she says with resolve. "I was so sorry that it happened because of me. But everything happens for a reason and i thank God that she could leave."

In related news, the Bajan beauty has hinted she could strip off for a movie role after visiting a strip club. The singer visited the venue for research for a film role - but admits the experience "weirded her out". She says, "I went with some friends to a strip club not long ago. I went because I was very curious. I didn't learn any dancing tips. I've been reading some film scripts so I had to go to see what it's like. I was very weirded out."
