Jennifer Hudson Buys Assistant a House, Amazing Freak-Out Ensues

Man. We may get to stare at Kate Upton photos all day, but we are clearly in the wrong business. Jennifer Hudson has made it appareny that the best occupation out there is her assistant, a fact Walter Williams discovered on Tuesday when the former American Idol finalist and Academy Award winner bought Williams a house. Yes, a HOUSE. In the following clip, posted by Hudson, we see Williams react to this gift by dropping the paperwork on the ground and screaming. Over and over and over and over… Jennifer Hudson Gives Assistant a House Hudson and Williams have been friends since elementary school. But Hudson is also all about being awesome to those she scarcely knows. She may help turn her childhood home in Englewood, Illinois into a women’s shelter. “We still own the home and I would like to turn it into a shelter for women as soon as possible or by my mother’s birthday, which is November 7,” the former American Idol contestant’s sister told DNAinfo Chicago in August. “At least that is what I would like to see the house used for.” No word yet on the status of this project. But even the mere thought is an impressive one.

Halle Berry to Headline Extant on CBS

Halle Berry is headed to your living room. Calm down, though, fellas. The Academy Award winner has been tapped to headline Extant , a CBS drama produced by Steven Spielberg that skipped the pilot process and was ordered straight to series by the network in August. It will focus on Berry as an astronaut who returns from a year-long solo mission in space and learns that her experiences there will play a key role in the future of mankind. Hmmm… sounds interesting. And very attractive. “I’m always on the lookout for amazing roles and when you see material that contains this strong of auspices, nuance and complexity it compels me to run toward it no matter the medium,” said Berry. “For five months a year I’ll get to live with and play this incredibly intelligent and vulnerable woman, and for the remainder of the year I’ll continue to look for other roles that move me as deeply as this one.” It makes sense that Berry would select a television role at the moment: filming a television series does not require the sort of travel and crazy shooting schedule of a movie. And the pregnant newlywed – congrats, Olivier Martinez ! – will soon have a very good reason to wanna be at home more: a new baby!

That’s Disgusting: 35-Year-Old Grown Azz Broad Arrested For Sexual “Relationship” With 11-Year-Old Family Friend That Lasted 8 Months!!!

Another day, another nasty woman messing with young boys ! Via Mail Online reports : A 35-year-old woman has been charged with 20 counts of sex assault and s0d0my after she allegedly had an eight-month sexual relationship with an 11-year-old boy, it emerged today. Sarah Beth Hopkins, from Salem, was arrested on Sunday after the parents of her alleged victim reported her to police. The boy, now 12, confessed to his mother he had been sexually active with Hopkins for the last eight months. When Hopkins was confronted she allegedly admitted the sexual abuse. The family lived at the same apartment complex as Hopkins – who was seen as a trusted family friend – until about two weeks ago, according to KGW. The mother became suspicious of their close friendship and the amount of time they spent together. The abuse is thought to have taken place at her apartment and while they were out on long walks together. Police believe there may be more victims. Marion County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Don Thomson said: ‘The boy confirmed that he, in fact, had been involved in this relationship with this 35-year-old woman. ‘We’re kind of asking anyone with a male child who may have had contact with Mrs Hopkins, befriended by her, lived near her or whatever, we’d like them to sit down with their son and talk. Make sure everything’s okay.’ When questioned by the deputy, Hopkins is believed to have admitted she and the victim had been sexually active but said she hadn’t threatened the victim or given him anything in return for sex. Hopkins’ Facebook page includes many suggestive photos of herself, and some along with young boys, along with links to a few different teen websites. Marion County Circuit Judge Donald Abar read her charges in court yesterday: Three counts of r@pe in the first degree, seven counts of r@pe in the second degree, two counts of s0d0my in the first degree and eight counts of s0d0my in the second degree. Her bail was set at $1million. Just nasty… Facebook Continue reading

Happy 49th Birthday, Sandra Bullock!

Sandra Bullock turns 49 years young on Friday. Given her looks, positive attitude, sense of humor, approachability and infectiously endearing personality, it’s no wonder she’s become known as America’s Sweetheart. After winning an Academy Award for The Blind Side and being blindsided by Jesse James, Bullock took time off to focus on a much more important role: Mother to adopted son Louis Bardot. She’s returned to acting with some memorable recent roles (most recently The Heat ), and continues to prove she can be as versatile as she is awesome. We wish her all the best personally and professionally, and can’t wait to see what the next phase of her career holds. Happy 49th birthday, Sandy! Other notable birthdays today: Helen Mirren (68), Kevin Spacey (54), Kate Beckinsale (40), Jeremy Piven (48), Chris Harrison (42) and Mick Jagger (70).

Lindsay Lohan’s Comeback in The Canyons of the Day

I am a firm believer that Lindsay Lohan will win an Academy AwardI am a firm believer that she will be making a comeback….I am a firm believer that a star as bright as her can’t ever be turned off…I am also a firm believer that Lohan and I are connected at the soul, I am also a firm believer that aliens live amongst us, that AIDS is a myth, that the smell of cheese between my wife’s legs is edible and not unhealthy…and so many other irrational, even crazy things…I am also totally inconsistent, but I will say this…Lohan is in a bra in the trailer and I like it…because her breasts are the most important thing to have happened in the 21st century…and that is one thing I know for sure…even if I don’t know much, but I know I love her…and that may be all I beed to know.
