Celebrity Fireworks!

It’s official: Usher is going to be a married man in the very near future. “I’m engaged now,” the “Yeah!” singer told MTV News, confirming rumors that he is set to wed stylist Tameka Foster.

Usher, 28, said the happy couple will likely tie the knot this year. This will be the first marriage for the Grammy winner. Tameka, who is ten years his senior, has three children from a previous marriage.

Rumors surfaced in February that the two planned to marry after friends said the star called her his fiancée and she was sporting a rock on the appropriate finger.

Double the good news for Salma Hayek: The actress is engaged to businessman boyfriend Francois-Henri Pinault – and she’s pregnant. The pair have kept a relatively low profile since their relationship began – though Hayek, 40, has joined Pinault for occasional public events.

Pinault, 44, is the CEO of luxury goods firm PPR, which owns Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, as well as a French department store and national music chain. His father, Francois, is an avid art collector owning more than 2,500 valuable pieces, including Picassos, Miros and work by contemporary artitsts including Damien Hirst. Familiar on both European and American fashion and art circuits, the family fortune is estimated in excess of $7 billion.

A Vietnamese official says Angelina Jolie’s adoption application is being processed quickly and she might be mom to a new 3½-year-old son within weeks. Jolie will be free to pick up the child any time after the approval is granted.

The boy is from the Tam Binh orphanage, which Jolie and Brad Pitt visited over Thanksgiving. Orphanage director Nguyen Van Trung says the boy Jolie plans to adopt was abandoned at a Ho Chi Minh City hospital as an infant and then taken to the orphanage, where the staff tried, without success, to locate his parents.

Brad Pitt is a hands-on dad with 9-month-old daughter Shiloh on the New Orleans set of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button on Thursday. And the Jolie-Pitt clan will soon be expanding: Angelina Jolie has filed papers to adopt a child in Vietnam. Pitt told a source in January the couple wanted to add to their growing family – including son Maddox, 5, and daughter Zahara, 2 – saying, “Always, of course.”

Actress Elizabeth Hurley and Indian businessman Arun Nayar wed twice over the weekend. The couple had a private civil ceremony on Friday, followed by a religious service the following day, both at Sudeley Castle in Winchcombe, Gloucestershire. Hurley has taken the groom’s surname and will be known as Mrs. Nayar, on paper at least.

Guests on Saturday included Donatella Versace (who designed Hurley’s dress), Jimmy Choo president Tamara Mellon, models Elle Macpherson, Eva Herzigova, and Yasmin Le Bon, as well as designer Valentino, Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine of the BBC television series “What Not To Wear.”

Hurley’s former boyfriend, actor Hugh Grant, was a no show. Liz called him the day before begging him to come, but he insisted it would not feel right, according to a source. He didn’t want to detract any attention from her big day.
