Usher's club-rattling jam "OMG" may "kill it every night" according to tourmate Miguel, but when the Atlanta crooner hit Madison Square Garden earlier this week, he was almost taken out by a clumsy fan.

When the singer touched down in New York on Monday, he indulged a super amped fan's fantasy by pulling her onstage for an intimate flirty serenade of "Trading Places." As Usher and the concertgoer got cozy on a recliner, she swiveled around to face the crooner — knocking him squarely in his mug with her foot. She began apologizing profusely as Usher briefly paused to collect himself. But the superstar took the strike in stride, quipping, "We play rough in the bed. We kick each other in the face and all type of good stuff."

Although Usher brushed off the blow, the moment did make an impression on him.

"In all my years, this is one of the most interesting experiences. I got a kick out of it!" he told Us Weekly. The singer assured fans that the knock wasn't that bad. "It looked worse than it actually was. My audience and I got a good laugh."

As for the fan, the "DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love" star maintained everything is all good on that front too. "Wherever you are baby, don't feel bad," Usher said. "No hard feelings."

As Miguel has noted, Usher isn't one dwell on drama, whether it's cranking out another hit album or weathering an unexpected hit from a fan.

"He's such a tremendous example of perseverance and determination," Miguel recently told MTV News. "I was there throughout this album, so I've seen the adversity that he's had to overcome perception-wise."

We've already heard that Ryan Reynolds tried to fix his marriage to Scarlett Johansson before they decided to go their separate ways. But now sources close to the actor say that Johansson didn't give Reynolds too much to work with, and that the actor was open about their problems on the set of The Green Lantern.

A source on the movie set said that the 34-year-old star "would say that she treated him badly. It never seemed like she made him a priority."

Now Reynolds is said to be heartbroken by the split, with friends calling him "beyond sad and depressed." Meanwhile, his estranged wife seems to be carrying on just fine. Johansson, 26, recently returned from a girls' trip to Jamaica and sources close to the star told UsMagazine.com that she "was disconnected and disaffected" by the split. "It was harsh."

Vanessa Hudgens: Christmas Eve Outing with Stella

Fitting in a little sisterly fun prior to their family celebrations, Vanessa Hudgens escorted Stella out for a trip to the local fitness center in Studio City, California on Friday (December 24).

In no mood to be photographed, the "High School Musical" hottie covered up her face as her adorable younger sister followed suit while passing awaiting paparazzi.

Busy throughout the past week with Christmastime doings, Miss Hudgens tended to her last minute shopping needs at Barneys New York the previous day while also grabbing up lunch at Burbank Fireplace and BBQ.

Meanwhile, this happens to be the first winter holiday in the past three years in which Nessa is a bachelorette - as she recently ended her relationship with ex-beau, Zac Efron.

Beyonce Jokes She's Been Pregnant With Concert Special

'I was pregnant with this DVD,' she laughs to MTV News as 'I Am ... World Tour' is set to air Thanksgiving Day on ABC.

Beyoncé never really seems to slow down, so when the time came to choose a director for her concert special DVD "I Am ... World Tour," the singer decided to take on those duties too. It's an accomplishment the singer jokes may have sparked those pregnancy rumors.

"I was pregnant with this DVD, yes!" she joked to MTV News.

The DVD hits stores on November 30, but fans can catch the 90-minute "I Am ... World Tour" TV special when it airs on ABC Thanksgiving night at 9:30 p.m. ET. Beyoncé opened up about what it was like to sit in the director's chair.

"Well, I've done some co-directing for music videos [but] this was definitely a big step for me, and I'm so thrilled," she said at the New York City screening for the flick.

Beyoncé said she was completely hands-on, deciding which moments made the final cut and which ones wound up on the cutting-room floor. "It was hard work," she said. "I learned so much. I have a new respect for directors and I think I would like to do more of it."

Her parents, Mathew and Tina Knowles, who also attended the screening over the weekend, said the film gives B the recognition she deserves after years of collaborating on many of her own videos.

"I'm really excited about this because Beyoncé has been making little short films and really helping to direct her videos," Tina told us. "So it's nice that she'll get credit for doing something that she really loves doing and that she's very talented at."

Dad Mathew recalled all of the effort his superstar daughter put into the special. "I'm so proud," he said. "I had an opportunity [to see the film], I've been to Houston with a screening; I've been to Bentonville, [Arkansas], with a screening, and to see the excitement from the audience, what an incredible job Beyoncé did as a director in the editing, I'm just so proud. Hopefully, all the fans go out and get the DVD and soundtrack and look at that ABC special coming on Thanksgiving."
