During an interview with Oprah Winfrey on Sunday, Jennifer Hudson touched on William Balfour, the man convicted of killing her mother, brother and nephew in October 2008. Showing incredible perspective and a capacity for forgiveness, the Oscar winner said she doesn’t entirely blame the ex-husband of her sister Julia for the horrendous crime he committed. “For the most part, it’s not his fault,” Hudson said. “It’s what he was taught, how he was brought up.”

A week after Charlie Sheen’s troubled ex-wife said she was happy to put “this chapter of her life behind her,” Brooke Mueller is back in rehab once again. TMZ reported and her camp confirmed to E! News that the mother of two has relapsed and is seeking treatment . She actually started a few weeks ago. Brooke Mueller, who was officially sentenced to probation last week for felony drug possession, is currently at an undisclosed, in-treatment facility. Interestingly, Sheen of all people played a role in her getting help. Brooke recently came to his L.A. home and seemed out of it, so much so that Charlie felt she needed to be checked out by an addiction specialist. She left before Charlie could convince her to be examined by a professional, but Brooke later decided to seek substance abuse treatment on her own. Brooke previously entered rehab earlier this year following her December cocaine arrest in Aspen, Colo., for which she was sentenced to probation. As part of her plea deal , she’s required to submit to random urine tests; a failed test could land her in jail. It’s unclear if she’s actually failed one, however. [Photo: WENN.com]
Sarah Drew has become a first-time mom. The Grey’s Anatomy star delivered son Micah Emmanuel Lanfer at 6:21 p.m. Wednesday in Los Angeles. She did not know the gender until that very moment! “She and her husband, Peter Lanfer, are in love with him!” her rep says of the couple’s new baby boy, who weighed in at 7 lbs., 4 oz and is 19 inches long. Sarah in late November, when she was seven months along . “I thought it would be a good idea to wait to find out because I’m such a control freak by nature,” Drew explained of their decision to be surprised at the birth. “I am about to walk into this chapter of my life where I have no control over anything anymore, and I figured I’d ease myself into it by not allowing myself to plan.” “It was hard but in the end it’s good training for me!” Congratulations to Sarah and her growing family, and expect another new addition to the extended Grey’s family this year – Jessica Capshaw is pregnant again!
