muskifest Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 God, I read that 'report' about Ruben getting married and I immediately think, "I wonder if it's really true." That's just sick. If it IS true, I hope he's a happy camper. He's a sweetheart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He walked the carpet with fiancée Zuri McCance, who was sporting a hefty diamond. They got engaged a year ago in Las Vegas, after seeing Phantom of the Opera, and have set a date but won't tell. "She's my best friend," Studdard said. Now we know everyone is going to say Awww, and rightfully so but we also know what would happen if Clay had done that.

djs111 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 She's my best friend," Studdard said. Doesn't that mean she will never have sex with him or even see him naked? Maybe Clay can give Ruben some extra Petri dishes and such! Sorry, Play, I know ya hate the talk about that, it just made me laugh and be sarcastic, which I am afraid is incurable.

playbiller Posted June 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Ruben HAS spoken about this woman and called her his fiance in the recent past, so I believe it is true and does not have to be qualified. A friend of the family have also talked about a wedding this year on the new Ruben board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldyjocelyn Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Sounds like Ruben is going to have a BIG wedding (and it's this weekend!)... Ruben Studdard to Have 20 Groomsmen at Wedding Ruben Studdard is planning a big Southern wedding Saturday with fiancée Surata Zuri McCants – with at least 20 groomsmen at his side, a source tells PEOPLE. The American Idol second-season champ will marry McCants, 30, at Canterbury United Methodist Church in the tony Mountainbrook neighborhood of Birmingham, Ala., according to the source close to the wedding. A rep for Studdard confirms he's getting married this weekend. Studdard and his groomsmen will wear black Joseph Abboud tuxedos from local outfitter Mr. Burch Formal Wear, the source says. The groomsmen will wear black shirts with black vests while Studdard will wear a white vest and a white hand-tied bow tie. Studdard, 29, a Birmingham native, and McCants obtained a marriage license Monday at the Shelby County Probate Office in Columbiana, Ala. Whoa. This sounds like a major shindig!

annabear Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I posted yesterday at another board how much I'd loooove some clack of Clay in that all black tux. Yum! And I really do wish Ruben & his lovely bride all the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playbiller Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 So, I follow one story to the source and what to I see? a picture of Ruben and Clay from the finale not the usual one, a No Stopping us Now picture. I guess they didn't have the latest piture f Clay and Ruben together and Ruben does not even get pictured alone on his own wedding news. Personally, I hope Clay sings at the wedding, heh, not that I am invited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claytonic Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 More about Ruben's wedding.... <SNIP> …Studdard is going back to his “Idol’ roots by doing an album of covers. (Clay did it!). In his case, he’ll do R&B classics by the likes of Donny Hathaway, Marvin Gaye and Smokey Robinson. Working with Minneapolis producers Terry Lewis and Jimmy Jam, Studdard is nearly done and Evans said he’s aiming for an August release date. (Lewis and Jam helped produce his farewell song for “Idol” this season “Celebrate Me Home”). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckiest1 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Wow, that has been pushed back from May, hasn't it? I'm looking forward to it - I enjoyed Ruben's take on the songs on AI, I'm thinking I might like this covers CD more than anything original he's put out.

Iseeme Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Oh good. I've been saying since Ruben's first CD that they were trying to push him in to the hip hop niche and it didn't work. I'm looking forward to this CD. Ruben does have a big ol' soulful voice and should be singing ballads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playbiller Posted July 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 I rudely lurked at a Ruben board today and got wedding details. Classical music in the church. Two cakes at the wedding - a classic tiered wedding cake with white frosting and black music notes decorating it and an choclolate cake with vanilla frosting. Heh. No individual pictures were allowed of the wedding or the reception, Cell phones were to not be used. The first dance was to their song - "the Nearness of You" Kevin was best man - duh. His son and Zuri's daughter were in teh wedding party. I guess this means that Ruben is a dad now. IN the Essence interview they said they wanted to start a family in the next year, so they are not wasting time.

playbiller Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 YOu can now buy Ruben's last Album, the return, on Itunes and that ilk - why? because he was caught in the Louis Vitton law suit where BMG used various of their logos without permission - it was used in a Britney video, no onger to be show, and other places and the paper on the ack of Ruben's CD had a Louis Vitton water mark. The hard print album has been withdrawn, but it is still avaialbe on line.Sorry,I don't have the articles anymore and I am packing the car and am busy, but the crux of it was a settlemetn - the CD was recalled from stores and no new CD copy will be manufactured.
