MTV star Nick Cannon has proposed to girlfriend, Victoria’s Secret model Selita Banks, and gave the model a 12 carat diamond ring. The couple were attending the Costume Institute Gala at the Met (click here for pics from the event).
TMZ.com reported that Cannon had a trick up his sleeve: “Selita will you marry me?” lit up on the giant Jumbotron in the Square.
Cannon surprised Selita by flying in her parents and best friends. They left their engagement party and caught a private plane back to L.A. so Nick could be back at MTV Tuesday morning.
DAMN ISN’T MOTHER’S DAY COMING UP??
There were rumors going around all last week about Usher giving his mama, Jonnetta Patton, the boot and in an official statment to AP, the singer has confirmed them.
She and I are on great terms and support each other in our life’s endeavors. We are both very happy but are now working in different areas of the business. This is great for me because it means I now get to have my mother strictly as my mother with no added pressure.”

MAMA WEST APPROVES
Kanye West’s fiancée Alexis Phifer gets along well with the rapper’s mother. “I think she’s a very outstanding young woman,” Dr. Donda West tells People magazine. “She’s quite talented, very intelligent, very creative. Very sweet, thoughtful, generous. I can’t think of one negative thing I would say about her, even in private!”
Dr. West’s favorite thing about her future daughter-in-law? “The best thing that I love about her is that she loves my son,” she says. “You can’t beat that.”
Congrats to Nick.
MAMA WEST IS GOING TO PASS OUT FROM THAT TIGHT ASS GIRDLE!!!
What’s up with the longtime girlfriend crap! They’ve only been together a few months. Oh wait maybe they mean in dog years!
Nick Cannon had a real girlfriend? mmmm kkk
Maybe Usher made a great choice.
I sure feel sorry for alexis, way too much hormonal type shit will be going on in that house !
Guess Usher had to let it burn
You can manage me Ms. Jonetta. I can’t sing but neither can Sanjaya and look how far he’s come.
They said Selita is using Nick to further her career. Don’t know how that’s going to work but congrats to them!
well to be honest i think usher made a big mistake, his mum helped him build up his career and now that man of fiancee he has now is goin to destroy his career. do you feel me on that???
Congrats to Nick and Selita. Wonder how long this will last….
Usher done fired Mommy dearest? Damn and mother’s day is Sunday. Poppa Knowles better look out, lol
Well bless her heart, Momma West likes Kanyeezy’s wifey to be it’s all good in Kanye’s hood.
is it me but usher’s brother is FAT………….VERY FAT……NOT A GOOD LOOK….
Selita is so pretty. Kanye West and his girl *shrugs*, don’t really care.
Nick Cannon is a chump, So is Usher for dating that MAN!
Okay desperate attempts to make Christina Jealous. Who cares like you said CL Nerdy Nick and his C list girlfriend dancing for publicity! This is almost as irrevelant as Kanye and his fiancee…Next!
I was just saying they appear to be a much better couple than Nick & Christina and most definitely better than Nick & Kim K…so I wish them all the blessings and many congrats!
She is making an honest man out of him..LOL!
Damn.. Usher fired his mom the week of Mother’s Day…ain’t that some shit..All behind his tranny girlfriend!
This post made me tired!
Tired of Cornball ass Nick Cannon and that FAKE relationship!
Tired of Usher with his pre-album drama!
Tired of gay ass Kanye pretending with the fake engagement!
I’m exhausted!
Nick: Represented in the romantic area. I thought u were a cornball at VCC. I’m eating my words. lol
Kanye: SMH PLEASE TELL UR MAMA TO JUST LET “IT” GO. If I put a pin in her she would pop!
im happy for nick cannon..but rumor has it christina is pissed..she only went out with dre for the presentation that she is over nick when she is not..wow..i think this will last for 1 year..hollywood divorce..so disgusted
Nick and this chick are attention couple with ADHD.
Usher is a growing up into a man, and maybe this was the best thing for him…I just wish he lose Tameka and find something more suitable with less baggage…whatever she is doing, her “head game” must be banging….
Kanye is a damned idiot…that is some hormonal azz stuff that be going on in that house too as “Tammy” said…afterall, isn’t Kanye a damned momma’s boy that truly loves the close working relationship he has developed with his mum since their college days but admits constantly having her at his side can sometimes be embarrassing.
He says, “I was an English major and she (mother) was head of the department. Now she is my manager, and that can be tricky sometimes. She’s like: ‘Kanye, did you spend $500 at the porn store?’
“Come on, get the f**k out of here! I’m 28 years old and I have to explain to my mother?”—O.K…..CLEARLY NOT USHER AND JONETTA HERE YALL…..
Kanye, his girl & his mama are all stank HAMS!!!!!!!!!! i thought his face was jacked up cos of the crash but clearly its a genetic thing. damn shame….
the raymond family look like alvin and the chipmunks. “cheep cheep”
gotta give it to nick cannon tho, he sure knows how to trap a girl. hows ol girl gonna say “no” when u put the whole ish up on blast like that? she need to drain his corny ass for all the bling and money he got the move the hell on to a real man like Barrack Obama…i know thats what i’d do
THANKS FOR THE POST…
IM VERY HAPPY FOR NICK & SELITA THE MAKE A BEAUTIFUL COUPLE. SHE CHANGED HIM. I WISH THEM MANY YEARS OF SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS
KANYE……….
# 10 i knew i wasn;t the only one who thought she looked like a man also nick needs facial hair to look half way decent
‘Longtime’ girlfriend WHAT i swear those 2 bin dating a couple of months minimum but whateva guess Nick gonna have 2 try and settle down now, that Tameka man/girl reli has sometype of hold ova Usher if the boi sacked his momma and I am glad that some1 momma is fond in their gf good on Momma West
Usher: his mom did a lot 4 him, he gon fuck things up 4 his career.
Kanye West: What is this like his 4th fiancee…hope it last.
Selita Ebanks: needs 2 quit that microwave dinner, n get with a real man…baller!
I don’t understand Usher’s decision. His mom helped him to become a mega star so I would say she did a great job managing him? Who exactly does he think can do a better job and will have his back like she does?
Nick Cannon is a player, it’s funny but I don’t believe in this relationship, I don’t feel the attraction/chemistry.
*sigh* Oh well
Usher made the right decision, she couldn’t have remained his manager for life, there comes a time when supastar kids grow up and want to be totally independent. He’s grown now. Like Janet and Michael.
Alexis is a nice girl, I can confirm this. But his real love will always be Sumeke Rainey, and he did her dirty. I don’t think he’ll ever find a woman as dedicated as that girl.
Usher’s marketing team & publicist deserve MAJOR GUAP b/c they sure know how to get his name out and stay in the spotlight “right” b4 the album is slated to drop!
Nik…still corny & Kanyepoo where have you been homie?
I guess the days of the private, intimate proposal are over….anyway, congrats Nick and Selita!
Usher that’s a good move on your part and there’s obviously no bad blood. So good for you!
Donda is just glad that he’s with a woman. She lookin like Eartha Kitt in that pic, I know when she got home and exhaled, all kinds of buttons and zippers were poppin off that dress.
I don’t what happened with tameka or his momma.
But saying that her h game is on point doesn’t guarnatee anything. Look at Supahead! She is what society deems beautiful..lightskin, weaves, good h*** game and he didn’t marry her. Point is folks stop guessing he is in love with a dark skin woman. He finally stop getting bamboozled over hollywood standards. He finally wised up to the origianl goddess the Queen like they say the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice! That’s right!
The best to all of them -
Nick and Selita – Black Love is still the best
It seems that Usher and Mom made a mutual decision- so the best to them.
I can respect any man who doesn’t cave into the pressures of hollywood standard’s of beauty. (Joe Camel)They are in love. Oh well let it be. Im no Usher fan but damn let it be!
maybe she makes him laugh..maybe she has brians the good kind.lol Obviously something the eye candy Elisha couldn’t provide…right about now If I was tameka I would give the bird to all of his hollywood standard beauties! do you Ush!
well yeah im happy for all of them
#17, don’t worry.. her head game is ON POINT!
Nick, whatever. Once a cheater, always a cheater.
Well, Usher gave his momma one hell of a pre Mother’s Day present. I don’t trust that beast he’s dating.
Well, good for Mama West… I think…
whateva..i see no one remembers brandy big mistake. brandy fired her mom, hired benny media, and then right back to her mom.
usher will learn…no one will take care of him like his mom. he’ll be back…its so obvious he requires “ALOT” of attention.
tameka is a sideline ho trying to be legit. usher cheated on chilli and eisha with this chick. i can’t take her seriously.
lol, You know whats stupid bout rumors they made it sound like Usher was gonna give her the BOOT, but really i think he’s intention is for her to retire, and considering the quote stated, it seems like he said it in a nice way, and also perhaps said it with the intention to give her rest I mean it aint like Ush’s mum is getting any younger :/.. Anyway Nick Cannons woman is HAWT!
to my understanding…Usher’s mom was looking for a change and it is RUMORED that she might be britney spears new manager. but then again, i could be wrong, like rumors tend to be.
wooow ushers mum has some strong genes cus both her sons look just like her!
usher is acting a damn fool! he needs to realise no bia*** is worth leaving ur momma over. (noone comes between me and my mommy), i dont understand how you would let a man/woman affect such a relationship
nick cannon is as useful as diarohea
@ #5 I am so mad that you made daddy Mayweather your avatar picture, too funny LOL

>>>>> Exactly!
TOTALLY happy for Nick. I love to see black love. To see a famous black man with a black woman these days is always pleasant.
37. Ali ~ I hope you’re right!!!
DAAAAMMMMNNNNN J LEWIS YOU WRONG 4 DAT PIC…HA.HA.HA.
STOP HAT TIME…………………………………..
DUME DE DE DUME DE DUM DE DUM X 5
WAT HAPPEN BRUH USHER U STILL DOIND YOUR THING TOUCH
#2 u aint never lied lmao exactly what i was thinkin!!
is that brooke’s body though?
Usher’s mom can manage me’ we can do a song about her lip gloss.. oh wait!
you people are funny as hell.
At least usher and mom are still on good terms. Can a pic of usher girl be posted so I can see this girl everyone is talking about, that’s suppose to look like a man.
Kanye’s and his suppose-to-be fiance…I could care less.
At least Nick soon to be wife looks good… can’t hate on that
well i think people abuse the word “fire” cause they seem like they still on good terms….thats good, the momma should jus be his momma n no one else to him..
nick…why am i not suprised…
can someone confirm kanye n alexis status..i thought they wasnt together?
The only thing I have to say is Usher, pleaaaase talk to Bey. That’s all.
I think that its great that Usher released an official statement because too many irrelevant Mother F*ckers were attempting to pass critical judgement on a situation that they are not all that lmaofamiliar with . (You would think that they were personal friends and or associates of Usher). According to him there are no hard feelings between him and his mom, and now without having her as his manageror (momamnager) he can concentrate on just being her son. I always wondered how difficult it must be for so many celebrities to work so closely ,professionally with family! It has to be tought at times . He’s a grown man.Maybe he felt that it was time to cut the apron strings and hire outside management in order to perserve the relationship that he has with his mom.Everyone is blaming his fiance for this ,but as he stated ,she has no interest in being a manager to him or anyone else. Im pretty sure that with his moms good trackrecord ( as far as helping to guide Ushers career if she wants to work with other upcoming or even some already established artist she can do that!
isn’t April fools over?nick stop playing.
IN REGARDS TO NICK AND SELITA, THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT IS SOME ADVICE FOR NICK, “WE WANT PRE-NUP..WE WANT PRE-NUP!”
I am happy for that latin sister, go head girl, get half of that man’s money. so you can marry who ou really want down the road. Light skin women are taking over again.
i think ursher mom and him BOTH decided that she would no longer be his manager. she managed and taught him well, he’s damn near 30 now, she was managing him at a young age to secure and help her son pursue his career.
selita and nick congrats, but can you ever take him seriously, he’s like 26 or 27, but looks and acts like a 17 year old (no offense)! i mean i almost dont take that proposal seriously, he doesnt look serious and shes just looking at the rock, smh! (Usually you’d see the woman in tears and the man nervous and holding his composure,) maybe they were drunk?
Kayne is just annoying, he’s a lil diddy in the making and he should stop, there is no reason to “prove you are so fly”, when we already know you have the money.
and shanelle sit down , all men dont prefer light skinned women (alot of yall are too conceited, which in reality is a turn OFF) caramel and dark is just as beautiful!
Man fuck Nick Cannon and his bullshit ass MTV show.
nick gone pawn that ring soon.
Alexis don’t have TIME to marry Money? Yeah, Ok.
I love the way Kanye is w/his mom. Something bout Alexis annoys me but if he happy……
kind.
Why is everyone getting married so soon now? What ever happened to dating for a year or two, then getting married? Anyway, hope their life together is happy.
