How terrible. Again, our thoughts go out to the Hudson family.

It's confirmed... How tragic! Read the story here. Our prayers go out to Jennifer and her family at this time.

Hot off the Associated Press, 2 people were found dead at a house listed as belonging to Jennifer Hudson's mom, Darnell Donerson. Police believe one of the people who died was a relative of Jennifer's. TMZ is reporting that Jennifer's mother is one of the victims. We'll keep you updated as we find out more.

Or "the" Punk, rather. Jennifer Hudson is engaged to her boyfriend, David Otunga, as reported by E! News. You may know David as "Punk" from I Love New York. While this is definitely an upgrade for Punk, can't Jennifer find someone who hasn't put his hands all over New York?

Well, not quite. But the fabulous Jennifer Hudson has been asked to sing the Star Spangled Banner at the Democratic National Convention on the night that Obama becomes the official Democratic Presidential candidate. Pretty awesome for Boomquisha. You go, girl! Give us a little outstretched hand, please.

Watch Boomie sing her new song "Spotlight" on Good Morning America. Nice work!

We love Boomie, but come on, she's big and beautiful, not Photoshopped and beautiful. Give Boomie back her curves! Otherwise, this should be a great album. 

Looks like Idol isn't the magic formula after all. While one former Idol at least got something at the Grammies (Carrie Underwood won Best Female Country Vocal Performance, and songwriters for Farmbot and Boomie won in 2 other categories), the other Idols left empty-handed. Major tool Daughtry rightfully lost in all categories except for Worst Performance by a Tool with an Idiotic Tattoo (he almost lost to Blake Lewis), while Mantasia, Kelly Clarkson, and homophobe Mandisa also took home nothing. Don't be sad, kids. You can still come back to sing Idol Gives Head 2.0 since you'll likely be forced to anyway. And we just had to post this funny picture of John Mayer and Daughtry at the finale, courtesy of MJ's Big Blog. Leave us a comment and write a caption!
