Usher's Wife Had a Heart Attack Before Plastic Surgery

Usher's wife, Tameka Foster, suffered a heart attack in Brazil before undergoing plastic surgery, the Associated Press reports.

Foster, 37, checked into the Sao Rafael Hospital on Feb. 6 for a "simple liposuction," says Ellen Dastry, spokeswoman for plastic surgeon Silvio Sterman.

Foster went into cardiac arrest while being anesthetized, "but was revived in less than a minute by heart massage," Dastry adds.

She was then placed into an induced coma before being transferred into an intensive care unit "to avoid unnecessary complications." 

She's currently recovering in Sao Paulo's better-equipped Sirio-Libanes Hospital, added Dastry, who did not release any additional details. 

Usher, 33, cancelled his performance at Clive Davis' pre-Grammy Gala last Saturday to rush to Brazil to be with his wife. His rep told Usmagazine.com Monday that she was in "stable condition after suffering complications from routine surgery."

Foster and Usher wed in August 2007. They are parents to two-month-old Naveid Ely Raymond and Usher Raymond V, 15 months. Foster also has three sons from a prior relationship.

Mira Sorvino Expecting Third Child

Mira Sorvino is pregnant with her third child, her rep confirms to Usmagazine.com exclusively. 

“We are overjoyed at the thought of welcoming a new addition to the family," Sorvino, 41, tells Us. "With each child, the love in our hearts has expanded beyond what we ever imagined was possible."

The actress -- who was named a Goodwill Ambassador to combat Human Trafficking by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime on Thursday -- and her husband of four years, Christopher Backus are already parents to Mattea Angel, 4, and Johnny Christopher King, 2.

The couple met a friend's charades party in August 2003. They first said "I Do" in a private civil ceremony at a Santa Barbara, Calif., courthouse, and then later in Capri, Italy.

"We spend all our time with our two kids," Sorvino told CNN last month. "They're our favorite people in the world. We don't spend a lot of time partying. We don't go out much. And we just love our children and we love each other. And we have a good life. You know, we're sort of normal people living in an abnormal place."

Sorvino won an Oscar for best supporting actress in 1995 for her role in Mighty Aphrodite. She most recently starred on NBC's The Last Templar with Backus, who has also appeared on The O.C and Will & Grace.
