*Usher and his wife Tameka Foster were among the guests at a post-Grammy party hosted by L.A. Reid when Fox411 columnist Roger Friedman approached the couple about rumors that she is a Scientologist and only married Ursh to bring him in to the sect.
"Honey, I can’t even spell it! No, I am not a Scientologist," Foster told Freidman. Usher added: "I’m friends with Tom Cruise, so people think that’s what happened."
Friedman wrote in his Tuesday column: "[Usher] did host a fundraiser for one of Cruise’s Scientology-related schemes, perhaps unwittingly. We’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. It sounds a little like Madonna and her Kabbalah fundraiser using Gucci as a host.
"Anyway, I met Foster, and she seems pretty nice. The couple appears happy as newlyweds with their new addition. Usher is finishing his new album with Jermaine Dupri."
