Following the conviction of William Balfour for murdering three members of her family, Jennifer Hudson released a statement that passed along prayers to Balfour’s family and thanked her fans for their love and support. At a charity event in New York for the Samsung Hope for Children last night, meanwhile, Hudson spoke out about the verdict for the first time. “It’s definitely changed me and put me in the mindset of a mom, and, as before, it makes you think of the future of our children,” Hudson told E! News, bringing the topic back to the cause at hand and also her own charity, the Julian King Foundation. “This is the perfect place to do that; it’s like starting a new beginning and closing a chapter.” Jennifer’s charity benefits underprivileged children in the Chicago area and she will hold a fundraiser for it on her late nephew’s birthday, August 14. But Hudson is also focused on her future as an artist and a singer. “I’m getting started on my third album this summer, and I have a few films in the works. I’m now just getting back out there and into my rhythm again, so one day at a time.”
Octomom is certainly taking her new porn career seriously. Perhaps inspired by Lindsay Lohan’s wardrobe malfunction , the mother of 14 can be seen spilling out of her skimpy top and fully glammed up in this photo from the set of her self pleasure video, which she recently completed filming. Take a look at one of the most revealing Octomom pics yet: The gold and black bikini snapshot of Nadya Suleman, was leaked by another porn star, Jessica Drake, who “coached” Octo through her “performance.” The porn studio behind the video, Wicked Pictures, quotes Nadya in a press release , saying Drake “opened up my eyes to a whole world of self-pleasure.” Drake says, “I am honored to have helped [Suleman] explore her sexuality.” According to the release, the video shows Octomom in a “variety of erotic scenarios” all focused on solo masturbation and poking fun at her public persona. Octomom, who recently booked a stripper gig as well, calls the experience “the best, most powerful, and most liberating thing I’ve ever done.” Good to know, Octo.

Sheryl Crow may just wanna have fun, but medical diagnoses continue to get in the way. A rep for the former Grammy winner and breast cancer survivor confirmed today that Crow is suffering from meningioma, a treatable, benign brain tumor. The artist accidentally spilled the sick beans herself last night while talking to Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist Doug Elfman. “I worried about my memory so much that I went and got an MRI. And I found out I have a brain tumor,” Crow told the journalist . “And I was, like, ‘See? I knew there was something wrong.’ I haven’t really talked about it… But it’s benign, so I don’t have to worry about it. But it gives me a fit.” A recent case in point: when the singer forget the lyrics to “Soak Up the Sun” during a concert in Florida. “She is doing great and is healthy and happy,” Crow’s rep says to E! News. “Half of us are walking around with [meningioma] but you don’t really know unless you happen to have an MRI. [Crow] has no symptoms and everything is fine. It was a random mention during the interview. It was not meant to alarm anyone.”

Duchess Catherine’s sister Pippa Middleton has given exactly no interviews since the Royal Wedding in April. Are Barbara Walters and Oprah angling to change that? British tabloids are reporting that Walters and Oprah are engaged in a bidding war to book the 28-year-old party planner for a TV special – potentially for big bucks. Walters, 82, denied on The View Monday. “It’s not true,” the journalist said. “ABC News does not pay for interviews. I have no idea what Oprah does, but ABC does not pay. She’s not a news program, so maybe they have a different policy.” That doesn’t mean Walters wouldn’t be up for interviewing Pippa Middleton, who was one of her most fascinating people of 2011 , as unveiled in late December. “To make it clear: Would I like to do the interview? Yes, I would like to I think she’s a charming, beautiful girl,” Walters said . “Will we pay to do the interview? No.” They could make a major donation to a charity of Kate Middleton’s choice in exchange for an interview, though. That’s not technically paying. Loopholes, people. [Photos: WENN.com]

The trailer gives out a lot of plot details, but fans of the book will be thrilled to see Mikhail and Lisbeth in action. By Eric Ditzian Rooney Mara in “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” Photo: Columbia Pictures The teaser trailer for “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” didn’t divulge much about the murder mystery at the center of the flick, trading story details for darkly cool imagery and a badass Led Zeppelin cover courtesy of Trent Reznor , Atticus Ross and Karen O. The latest “Dragon Tattoo” trailer takes a wildly different approach, running four minutes and diving deeply into the lives of Mikhail Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) and Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara), the two Swedes at the center of this tale about a 40-year-old cold case of a missing girl and a rich, dysfunctional family. It’s hard to argue the new footage is too spoiler heavy, considering the ubiquity of the international best-selling Stieg Larsson novel on which the film is based. Let’s just say that there is a ton to unpack in the new trailer. Here are our picks for the five key scenes: The Family Dinner While Larsson’s book is set in contemporary times, its story is inextricably tied to the past, to events surrounding the disappearance and suspected murder of Harriet Vanger, a teenange girl and scion of a wealthy family with dark secrets. Blomkvist and Salander are charged with cracking the decades-old case and largely rely on vintage photographs to assist their investigation. This scene, a glimpse of the Vanger family in the 1960s, shows that director David Fincher is using these weathered photos as the visual inspiration for flashbacks. The almost sepia-toned aesthetic differentiates the gritty present from the vintage-y past, and makes the connection that past events, captured in photos, will be the mechanism allowing Blomkvist and Salander to undercover the truth. The Flowers For those unfamiliar with the novel, this scene — in which Blomkvist and Henrik Vanger (Christopher Plummer), who hires the journalist to investigate his niece’s disappearance — unveils the first creepy clue of the story. Henrik has been receiving pressed flowers, in frames, for years. He’s certain they’re taunts from Harriet’s killer, as the young girl used to present such gifts to her uncle. It turns out that Blomkvist himself has a connection to the Vanger clan, as he spent time as a young child on the family’s remote estate. Taken together, these representations of the past — both in the form of memories and in physical frames — spur the reluctant journalist to take on the assignment. Well, that and the fact that he’s recently suffered a profound professional humiliation and Henrik is offering him a lucrative payout. The Genius To assist him in the investigation, Blomkvist hires Salander, a young woman with a history of being institutionalized and underestimated. The truth is, she’s a brilliant hacker with a photographic memory, as this scene makes clear. Blomkvist shows her a key piece of evidence — a set of names and phone numbers from Harriet’s diary — but she needn’t take another look. Salander has already memorized the information. Blomkvist realizes he’s picked the perfect partner. And he also doesn’t complain that she’s strikingly beautiful; the journalist is something of a ladies’ man, and this duo ends up having success both on the case and in the bedroom. The Photo As we said above, photos are the key clues in this case. Here we see evidence of Blomkvist and Salander’s big break, tthe photo that unlocks everything. In the book, it’s an enormously satisfying moment. After hitting roadblock after roadblock, the case finally picks up momentum, and the rest of the story proceeds at a breakneck pace. So head’s up: Once this scene plays out in the film, hold onto your seat — it’s going to get crazy and violent and freaky from here on out. The Rape That’s not to say there’s not plenty of crazy and freaky violence before that photo pops up. This quick shot shows Salander exacting some well-deserved revenge on Nils Bjurman, the sadistic lawyer who oversees her casework. Earlier in the trailer, we see Bjurman explaining to Salander that his assistance comes hand-in-hand with his unwanted sexual advances. Eventually Salander pays him back for his perversions: Bjurman, meet ball gag. It’s gruesome stuff. And it shows how Salander may look meek and helpless, but when she’s backed into a corner she can come up with some of the most creative and brutal acts of vengeance imaginable.
