Tragedy for Jennifer Hudson

In case you haven’t heard (what? Have you not gotten out of bed for 2 days?) tragedy has befallen Jennifer Hudson. According to every news source ever, Jennifer’s mother and brother were killed yesterday in their Chicago home. Her 7 year old nephew is also missing.

Jennifer flew back from Tampa where, we imagine, she was busy promoting her new self-titled album and her latest film, The Secret Life of Bees.

We can’t imagine what could have provoked such a horrible act on such a kind family, and our hearts go out to the rest of the Hudsons. We interviewed Jennifer a few months back and she was incredibly gracious and kind and sweet and everything you would want in a friend.

We can’t really be her support system (because we really don’t know her, but if she needs a shoulder to lean on ours happen to be quite comfortable), but we are definitely thinkin’ about her right now.

Wedding Bells for Jennifer Hudson!

Ms. Hudson is about to become Mrs. Jennifer Hudson Otunga! (She’s engaged, for everyone who missed that.)

There is nothing quite like being in love, so we are so happy for our pal, Jennifer. Her husband-to-be, David Otunga is hot, smart (a Harvard Law School grad) and has some fine taste in engagement rings. His previous taste in women is a tad questionable (I Love New York? Really?!), but he has clearly learned from his mistakes and traded up to the beautiful, talented Jennifer Hudson.

This woman proves that you can really have it all: looks, talent, a successful career and a worthwhile relationship (even if guy happened to be on one of the worst reality shows…ever).

You go girl.
