CELEB COUPLE NEWS, RUMORS, ENAGEMENTS, WEDDINGS: CASSIE & DIDDY ENGAGED?; MARIAH BITES BACK @ MARRIAGE RUMORS; UNCLE LUKE GETS HUBBY'D UP.

Word around the web is that Dumb-Dumb Diddy has chosen to make an honest woman/child out of his Bad Boy Records artist and spokesmodel for his Sean John Women's line, Cassie 'Can't Sell' Ventura, by proposing marriage, according to Star Magazine. FALSE. The publication reported that the rapper let slip the big news to friends at his son Justin's recent eighth grade graduation party. But Combs' representative has refuted the allegations, telling People.com, "Contrary to tabloid reports, there is no engagement. This was a complete fabrication." Cassie, who has long been rumored to be romantically involved with Combs, recently insisted their relationship is purely platonic. She said: "We are not together, but we are definitely friends. We work hard together, so it makes a good combo." Combs met 17-years-younger Cassie after signing her up to his label in 2006.

Too much drama. Let's just hope that one day his baby mama/on-again-off-again-on-again-off-again longtime girlfriend Kim Porter finally wises up and conjures up enough self-esteem to refuse to marry Diddy even if her life depended on it and just leave him alone for good.

Luke Campbell, the Godfather of southern-style bass and booty music and founder of Miami's notorious rap group the 2 Live Crew, is now off the market. Campbell wifed up his longtime fiancee, 27-year-old Kristin Thompson last Saturday in Dallas, Texas. Campbell tells People.com, "I waited 47 years to find a special woman and have found that in Kristin. I never knew that I could feel love on another level like this until I met her, and I am now honored to call her my wife." Over 300 guest attended the ceremony which was followed by a reception at the Opus Grand Ballroom at Hotel Palomar. Beatbox master extraordinaire Doug E. Fresh deejayed and performed, while such guests as Arizona Cardinal Edgerrin James remained on the dance floor until the early morning. Soul singer Betty Wright serenaded the happy couple. Their first dance was to Brian McKnight's Back At One.

Thompson, who serves as general counsel for Campbell's company Luke Entertainment, met Campbell at Jerry's Deli in Miami Beach two years ago. He proposed to her on Halloween last year. This is the first marriage for both. Campbell has two children from a previous relationship. The wedding will be featured on the season finale of Luke's Parental Advisory in September. VH1 will premiere the series on Aug. 4 at 10:30 p.m.

Mrs. Cannon-Carey is hitting back at rumors that her marriage to actor Nick Cannon is fizzing out due to the diva's controlling behavior. "It's good," she tells MTV News of their marriage. "Life is beautiful, and things are going well." Since wedding Cannon in April, she says she has heard people say "things are rocky and hazy and messed up" between them. "I'm like, 'Why would we have gotten married?'" says Carey, who is planning to tour in November. But that's not all. Earlier this week, rumors ran amok suggesting Cannon is going broke trying to keep up with his wifey's ultra-fabulous and ultra-expensive lifestyle. An article in the National Enquirer claimed that Cannon has been buying Carey lavish gifts in order to change people's perceptions of him. One source told the tabloid: "Nick's sensitive about being perceived as a kept man, so he's going out of his way to indulge Mariah with lavish gifts and expensive dinners. And the bottom line is that he just doesn't have the kind of money she has. It's starting to stress him out. Nick is also said to be worried new career opportunities he is being offered are not genuine. It hurts him when people use him to get to Mariah. Or worse, think of him as Mr. Carey."

Carey says, "People are going to say what they say, but what would be the purpose? I guess other people do those things for a purpose, but I don't know. I'm ecstatic, so be ecstatic with me!" she adds. "Be happy with me. Can we celebrate?"

Mariah Carey, Jennifer Hudson, rappers Plies and Soulja Boy all stopped by B.E.T.'s 106 & Park this week to promote their upcoming projects....

When Mariah wasn't busy showing off her humongous wedding ring in front of the 106 & Park audience (if you look closely at the faces of the kids in the background, you can see that some of them had a look on their faces that said, 'If she don't sit her orange-looking ass down somewhere!'), she was mouthing off about her plans of a new tour to promote her latest platinum album E=MC2 which she promises to be packed with glitz, glamor, fireworks and fabulosity. She says, "I'm looking at November right now. But please don't hold me accountable if it turns out to be December 5 or December 7 or January 18!"



==================

One Jennifer Hudson fansite is reporting that the singer will portray Missy 'Misdemeanor' Elliott in the rapper's bio-pic. It's been said that Elliott has personally chosen Hudson for the lead movie role. The film is untitled as of now, but will reportedly be produced by Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal through their company, Tribeca Films.

FOXY BROWN IN XXL MAGAZINE; THE BROOKLYN DON DIVA BITCHES AND DISHES ON JAY-Z & HIS LACK OF SUPPORT FOR HER.

“He was so smooth. His swagger was just incredible. From that moment on, Jay and I became Bonnie and Clyde. A lot of things have happened over the years between Jay and I,” she says of the man who signed her to a multi-million dollar deal at Def Jam in 2005, nine years after their classic duet Ain’t No N*gga gave him his first radio hit. “But there’s an unbreakable bond that will never die. 50 wanted me to be part of his team so bad. He was like, ‘Look, I’ll do it with Jay, half and half.’ And, of course, Jay said no. At one point, 50 asked, ‘Why do you have so much loyalty to this N*gga?’ Jay and I have history. There are things that he could have done better, as far as his loyalty to me, and I’m sure I’ve made mistakes that he felt he could’ve prevented." (Foxy chokes up.)

"When I lost my hearing, Jay gave me the respect to go heal myself. He stuck with me along the way. But there are times when I just really needed him, and it wasn’t even about Foxy Brown and Jay-Z. It was just like, ‘I need you to help me save my life,’ and he just wasn’t there." (with tears streaming down her cheeks) “I would never denounce him in public. That’s just how I feel. But I’ve been incarcerated for eight months, and Jay’s been everywhere, and he hasn’t mentioned one thing about, ‘Tell her I love her. Tell her to be strong.’ That broke my heart more than anything. When they sent me to jail, I just knew he would be there-everyone came. But he never showed up… My mother always says, Jay also said this,in the Tru Life freestyle, ‘Inga, when a person shows you who they are, believe them. Been showing me all through the years and you just don’t wanna believe it.’”


--Foxy Inga Na Na weeps to XXL magazine as she tells how hurt and distraught she became after her former Brooklyn-bed buddy Jay-Z dropped her ass quicker than a BK minute after she stared acting like a plum fool. You better ask Teairra Marie, Memphis Bleek and Beanie Sigel how old dude gets down. Below are pics of Foxy in XXL magazine's September '08 issue.
