While we can only imagine what's really going on with Usher, his mama and his baby mama drama, Ian Johnson was in Idaho getting hitched.
But not before the Black Boise State running back and his bride in white prayed to end prejudice.
Johnson and Chrissy Popadics, the bubbly head cheerleader he proposed to after scoring the winning points in the Fiesta Bowl against Oklahoma, were married Saturday in a traditional ceremony at Cathedral of the Rockies First United Methodist Church.
Johnson revealed that he received phone calls and about 30 letters, including personal threats from people who objected to his plans to marry a White woman.
The ceremony went on, however, ending with the couple jumping over a broom , an African tradition signifying the couple jumping into a new life together.

Speaking of jumping the broom, Bossip posted a story that Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds are reportedly engaged after only 10 months of courting. (between the two of them, they have what... 10 kids?)According to OK! magazine, the 46-year-old ‘Dreamgirls’ and ‘Shrek the Third’ star proposed on July 25 with a “massive,” roughly 8-carat CARTIER yellow diamond engagement ring.
A friend of the couple says, “They’re very adorable together, very happy,” adding that they plan to tie the knot before the end of the year with a private wedding: “something low-key and romantic.
The two showed up at the Hollywood premiere of Edmond's comedy "Who's Your Caddy?" with a big rock --as in diamond-- on her left ring finger. "A really sweet, wonderful, beautiful gift that this (baby faced) man gave me," the producer of the film gushed before realizing that she unknowingly compared him with her first (cash-cow) husband.
When asked about the engagement rumors, Murphy reportedly said: "If I were gonna do an engagement ring, it would be much bigger."
Tracey, better watch your back, Mel B is coming back with a vengeance as The Spice Girls plan to start touring again. Here's their latest publicity shot since announcing that they have reunited:
Not bad for having just popped out a little Murphy girl just a few months ago.
