Looks like Jennifer Hudson is going to still be Mrs. Otunga after all: Despite tabloid reports of a split between Jennifer Hudson and fiance David Otunga, the singer told Access Hollywood that their wedding is still on. “We’re going to get married,” Jennifer told Access guest correspondent Tim Vincent at Sunday’s American Music Awards. “I know they said we had broken up. We’re never broken up,” the 30-year-old singer said of David, 31, who she’s been engaged to since September 2008. The Oscar winner said distance is to blame for their nuptials being put on hold. “We’re still here, but we’re very busy people. He’s always on the road, I’m always on the road,” she explained. “We are together, we just do it at home in Chicago. That’s our meeting place.” They’ve been engaged for a little over 3 years now…wonder when that Chi-town wedding is really going down. Source
Common and Keri Hilson arrived at Jeezy’s private listening for TM103 together Friday prompting more than a few folks to wonder if the Chicago emcee/actor is now chopping down Keri’s precious Georgia peachiness. The rumored couple played it cool, but some keen observers on the scene say the two were definitely caught engaging in conspiratorial glances and giving each other the “you ready to go yet boo?” signals. What do you think about this match? Would Keri and Common make a good couple??? More On Bossip!

In this weekend’s Happy Feet Two , Robin Williams voices Ramón, a South American penguin lothario, and Lovelace, a deep-voiced love guru. So how did a self-described quiet child from Chicago transform himself into one of Hollywood’s most energetic Academy Award winners and skilled impressionists, who pulls double duty in Warner Bros.’s latest animated feature?
Whose crib is this that’s available for the low low price of 15 stacks? Oprah’s! Winfrey bought the sixth-floor property for $5.6 million in 2006, but never moved in. It was reported in Chicago Magazine that she was afraid of nosy neighbors peeping in. She tried selling it for $6 million beginning in June 2008, and withdrew the property from the market in January 2009. You may be on the fence because the price is so cheap, but these pictures might entice you.
Chicago MC shot new video for the single in Haiti, then used clip to raise funds for the earthquake-ravaged nation. By Rebecca Thomas Common Photo: MTV News NEW YORK — Moments into Common ‘s new video for “Sweet,” a man in a mustard-yellow dress shirt faces down the camera, casually twirling a machete. It’s a fitting image for the blistering No I.D. track from the Chicago MC’s upcoming The Dreamer, The Believer. Com is at turns cold and cutting on the single, slinging verses like blades. If it feels unexpected coming from the man who can still set hearts aflutter with emotive tunes like “The Light” and “Come Close,” it’s just that Lonnie Rashid Lynn Jr. also happens to be the rap star who brought you ’07’s “The People.” That duality gives “Sweet” its bitter aftertaste and, according to Com, fuels a December 20 release that shows off “a lot of different energies.” “When I started ‘Sweet,’ as soon as I started talking on it, I was like, ‘Yo, this is hip-hop, this is what I do,’ ” he said, smiling broadly at the memory during a chat with MTV News at the Warner Bros. offices. “It was a lot I had to get off my chest on that. And at the same token, I love hip-hop music and raw rap music, for me it was like, ‘Man, I’m gonna go ahead and give them this side of me too.’ ” But Common doesn’t just go for the crown on the track, he growls at some unidentified “singing” MCs for getting all “Frank Sinatra” on their records. Told by MTV News that early buzz put “emo” rapper Drake in the “Sweet” bull’- eye, the Chi spitter looked surprised. “The great thing about hip-hop, you definitely get motivated by other hip-hop artists,” he explained. “You get in the ring and you’ll be like, ‘Let’s go,’ but for me, it’s like, I’m talking to whoever feels it, whoever when they hear it, they’re like, ‘Ooh, is that person talking about me?’ ” So … should the Toronto rapper add Com to the short list of critics taking him to task for crooning? “I think Drake is a good artist,” he responded breezily. “He’s a great artist.” Not to mention, teaming up with No I.D. has a tendency to bring out that street in Common: “It’s natural for me to do that, it’s organic. That’s somebody I grew up with and he knows me and knows what I’ve done throughout the years, whether good or bad.” On Monday night the Can I Borrow a Dollar? MC debuted the clip via Ustream. In it, he stalks the bustling, dirt-strewn streets of Haiti snarling heat like, “I’m the franchise so I rock my own chain / Know I said give ’em that ’80s cocaine/ Something raw, something pure, so I stayed in that vein.” But underscoring his many facets, Com also took the opportunity to raise funds for the earthquake-ravaged Caribbean country by having fans first donate $1 to the Sean Penn – led J/P Haitian Relief Organization in order to stream the visual.

‘I would have come two weeks ago if they would have let me,’ one camper tells MTV News outside ‘Breaking Dawn’ premiere. By Kara Warner A fan attends the “Breaking Dawn” premiere in Los Angeles Photo: Getty Images LOS ANGELES — Here at MTV News, we’ve been celebrating the highly anticipated release of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1” with a flurry of “Twilight”-related activity. Now it’s time to spotlight the very dedicated, passionate fanbase. On Saturday, we headed out to “Twilight” fan central, fondly referred to as “tent city,” where more than 900 people had already set up camp ahead of tonight’s Los Angeles premiere. (Join MTV.com live from the red carpet at 8 p.m. ET!) “I got here at 12 a.m. Wednesday night,” Megan Lambert told us in front of her “Team Jacob”-themed tent. Lambert holds the #2 spot in line and is hoping for a hug from Taylor Lautner at the premiere. Campers Lisa Paulosky, Emily Chadduck and Christy Brolezi bonded over their love for “Twilight” and formed a Facebook group ahead of the premiere for fellow fans who wanted to camp out. Several members traveled a considerable distance to be there. “I came from Chicago,” Paulosky said. “I came from New Mexico,” Chadduck admitted. They all want one thing on Monday: a Robert Pattinson encounter. “I need to take a picture with Rob,” Brolezi said. “My heart will break if I don’t.” The most creative fan group award goes to the ladies behind the Facebook group Kristen Stewart’s Hot Bodyguard, a.k.a. Team HBG. Unsurprisingly, the ladies are hoping for a photo opp with Kristen and their main man, HBG. “We have a special present for HBG that we’ve been holding onto for a year,” founding member Lynsey Jacob told us. We also happened upon a young male fan, who wasn’t at all shy about his love for the lady vampires, particularly Nikki Reed. “I’m Team Vampires,” Cody Huddleston said with a smile. The dedication among these fans is a marvel, and they would have camped out sooner if they could have. “I would have come two weeks ago if they would have let me,” Shannon Berry said. “I would have come a month ago.” Tonight, join MTV.com live from the “Breaking Dawn – Part 1” red-carpet premiere as we talk to your favorite stars about all things “Twilight”! Check out everything we’ve got on “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick may soon be caught up in a naked photo scandal, if a woman trying to hawk a “full frontal” picture of him has her way. According to reports, the unnamed female is shopping around a pic of Michael Vick naked to various media outlets in an attempt to secure a big payday. Wonderful. Vick’s camp dismissed the story, saying he has better things to worry about – like losing to the Bears 30-24 last night – but doesn’t outright deny the photo exists. “The only thing Mike has on his mind is his date with the Chicago Bears this evening,” his rep said . “The rest of what this woman is claiming isn’t worth dignifying.” According to one website the woman contacted, the pic is clearly Vick due to the tats “that appear all over his body including his signature super man tattoo [sic].” The woman claims the photo of Vick, whose NFL comeback after a two-year prison term for running a dogfighting ring is the stuff of legend, is less than a year old. “He is in the bathroom of the hotel room the night before the game taking the photos of himself,” she claims.
