Jennifer Hudson Speaks On The Loss Of Her Family After making it through the tragic death of her mother, brother, and nephew and eventually fighting off cold-hearted “Illuminati sacrifice” rumors and whispers, Jennifer Hudson is opening up about the pain of losing her family and how the experience changed her forever. Via MailOnline : She has chartered global success with her beautiful voice and acting talents, some would say living the Hollywood dream. But in 2008, Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson was faced with a horrific nightmare, when she learned her mother Darnell Donerson, her brother Jason Hudson and nephew Julian King were all killed in a horrific gun attack. Six years on, in an interview with The Guardian’s Observer, the 32-year-old star has opened up about the heartache she suffered all those years ago. ‘I have definitely seen the highest of the highs and the lowest of the lows,’ the actress explained. ‘You don’t know how strong you are until you are placed in that kind of moment.’ On 24 October 2008, Jennifer’s mother and 29-year-old brother were gunned down in her hometown Chicago, while her seven-year-old nephew was reported missing from the home, but the child’s body with ‘multiple gunshot wounds’ was found dead in the back of an abandoned SUV days later. Speaking about how she deals with the grief, she said: ‘If I close my eyes, I can almost remember what it was like, what I was like, 15 years ago. I was at home in Chicago, still in high school, singing in church, living with my family. ‘But generally, no, it feels like another Jennifer life. I don’t look the same. I’m a mother now. So many things have changed. I sometimes think the only constant is my voice. That hasn’t gone away.’ The American star’s former brother-in-law, William Balfour, received three life sentences in July 2012 following his conviction in the Hudson family murders. Jennifer explained how her performance at the 2013 Super Bowl, where she sang Star-Spangled Banner with the children of Sandy Hook Elementary School, came soon after Balfour’s long trail of justice. ‘In many ways the trial was the most dreadful part of it all,” she added. ‘But again I know my mother would not have wanted us to miss a beat, so we were there every day. ‘I wouldn’t wish it on anyone to have to experience anything like that, but that is what you do for your family, so that is what we did…’ What Jennifer had to go through was unimaginable for most of us. We’re glad to see she was able to find strength in her experience.
Kendra Wilkinson may (understandably) be stressed out about her marital woes these days, but the former centerfold found a way to relieve said stress on Thursday night: By partying!!! Multiple sources confirm that Kendra hit up Los Angeles clubs Hemingway’s and Warwick and was in “great spirits,” according to Us Weekly. She’s been dealing with the fallout from husband Hank Baskett’s affair with Ava London and just “wanted a night out dancing,” the tabloid reports Wilkinson hit the hotspots without her wedding ring on and “seemed really happy, trying to keep a low profile,” an onlooker says, while another explained why this may not be the last time we see Kendra out and about. “She doesn’t want to feel chained to her house anymore, she wanted to go out and have a girls’ night…she’s such a bubbly, happy person.” Wilkinson has yet to really speak publicly about her marriage, though Baskett claims all is good and the couple is still living under the same roof. But that’s mostly because Kendra is putting her children first and won’t simply kick their dad to the curb. The future of this relationship remains very much in doubt, but the same can’t be said for Kendra’s recent past: She deserved a night of unadulterated fun. Heck, she deserves two! Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett: In Happier Times 1. Kendra and Hank on Christmas How could you pose with Kendra for a Christmas card one second, Hank? And then get it on with a transgender model the next second?!?
Dear Bossip , I’ve been reading your blog for years. It has inspired me through a lot of tough times. So, I could really use some of your hard hitting advice right now. I’ve been with the same man for 7 years and ‘’m ready to leave. “Eric” and I got together when we were very young. I was 17 and he was 19. We have a 5 year old that will start school in the fall. We share a home and a great group of friends. In the fall of 2010, I found out Eric had slept with another woman. I was heartbroken. So, I confronted him. Then, I packed up his stuff and put it in the closet. He was no longer allowed to share a bedroom or sleep in our bed with me. At the time I thought this was the right thing to do. Taking him back and working it on our relationship was out of the question at the time because I was so angry with him. Four months later, he moves out. Sometime after that we decide to work it out. He moves back in and everything seems back to normal, except we fought more often than before. Eric seemed depressed. He was very unhappy with life always explaining it was not me but what he did to destroy our relationship. Then, one day after work he comes home in tears, with no explanation. Very unlike him. This happen again some weeks later. He told me his Uncle died, and he is going down there to help out his Aunt. I offer to go with him, and he tells me no. After he left, I started getting blocked calls from him. Very unlike him. Something just told me to start snooping around. So, I Google his name. Up pops a baby registry. I was shocked and heartbroken. So, I do a background check on the name of his new baby momma. I get her number, address, and everything about her. So, I call her. I ask for him by name. She asks me who is this? I say “Sara, I’m his fiancé!” CLICK. She hangs up on me. Eric calls me and tells me he has a one month old son. He never told me because he didn’t want to hurt me and he was unsure if he was the father. Isn’t that some BS!?! Just a cop-out. I was livid. I told him I was done. That we were over. He could stay there with her because I already took off his ring. I will never forget how much my heart hurt during those times. I cried every night. Without my little angel I would have never pulled it threw. So, I got myself up, changed my number and e-mail because Eric had been calling and e-mailing non-stop. I also moved out of our home. Everything was in his name. I felt no problem walking away. At that point in my life I had never had a job or even graduate from high-school. I supported Eric through college and in his career. So, when I walked away I had nothing. I got my first job, passed my G.E.D. on my first try and had enrolled in classes at the local community college. Very soon I was out of my now deceased mother’s house and in a little apartment my baby girl could call home. I was very proud of myself. I had not seen Eric for 3 months at this point. I refused to. He would e-mail my old address every night asking to see us. Finally, I gave in and agreed to meet him at a local park so he could see our daughter. First, I made him have a private conversation at our old house. Eric tried to tell me that was he not sure if the child was his after his baby mama had told him she was pregnant because she was in a relationship when they hooked up. He went down there to take a paternity test and it turned out it was his. He wanted nothing to do with his baby mama and he still loves me very much. I returned his ring. The next day, I let him visit with our daughter. She was so happy to see her father. I felt like a fool for keeping them apart for so long, because no matter what he does to me or himself he will always be our little girl’s father. The next six months are like this, I don’t go back to him. We talk and see each other for our baby. One day, out of the blue, I get a message from his baby mama. She writes, whether her and Eric are together or not she will always be a part of his life because they share a child together. She said that our children are siblings and they should know each other. So, I ignored it. She e-mails again asking for his social security number, his address and any other information to tell child support. I ignore her. I also don’t tell Eric. Since he had the nerve to tell me what goes on between them is none of my business. So, he was pissed when he got the papers, but, oh well. He chose to make a baby with a 28-year old woman, who still lives at home, has no job, and collects welfare. A year later, I fell on hard times. I had lost my job and soon my little apartment that I loved so much. I had no family to turn to. So, I went back to the house I shared with Eric because he offered. He gave me our old bedroom while he slept on the couch. It was weird at first. He was depressed. He would barely talk to me, except to tell me how happy he was to see my face every morning, again. He started to cheer up, began to flirt with me, and bring me presents. Soon, we started kissing, sharing a bed together, doing everything a couple does. I tried to have sex with him several times, but he would not do it. I hadn’t had sex in 2 and a half years. I wanted him again. He is the only man I’ve been with. So, I asked him why and he tells me he contracted herpes after he had a one night stand with a woman he met at conference six months ago. Two weeks later we have sex with condoms. He was shaking the entire time, but I still ended up getting it some months later. I took it okay, I knew the risk I was taking but every time I try to talk to him about it or when I told him I had it he just blames himself. He won’t even talk to me about it because he’s so busy putting himself down and what he did. I told him I wanted to get married again. He avoids the conversation. Now, the real problem is his baby mama. She lives 500 miles away. She told Eric he is required to go down there to see her son once a month. I assumed he had done something like that before we got back together. He goes every 3 to 4 months because it’s impossible for him to go every month and not lose his job. Also, she wants $400 in cash every month. If he agreed to all of this she would stop the child support payments from be removing from his check. So, he did it, but there is still an open case with the court and even though it’s no longer removed from his check he still has to pay child support. I tried telling him not to send her cash, it’s not a good idea, but he does it anyway. He tells me it’s not my business. Since I’ve moved back in he has taken one trip to see his son. I was worried the entire time. She knows we’re together again. Soon after he came back I went through his messages, and he was sending her messages saying he couldn’t wait to see her and she was sending him selfies and telling him how she needs him to be her man. I confronted him. And, he gets mad at me for going through his phone. We work it out, but I tell him no more trips or I’m leaving him. Five months go by and his baby mama is calling and texting more than ever. Three weeks ago he tells me he will be leaving to go see his son for the weekend soon. That he will be sleeping on the couch at her parent’s house. He says it’s just for him to see his son, but I find it hard to believe. We fought almost every day until he left. He never called me when he made it off of the plane, like he said he would. I texted him to call me around 6pm. He texted me saying that he can’t because he is at a wedding. I’m pissed. So, I call and text him saying that he went out there to take her to the wedding and how is he there for his son? He ignores me. The morning he is supposed to come home, he doesn’t. I call him over and over again. No answer. So I call and text her. I tell her she is pathetic for using her son to see my man. He finally calls me and before he says hello I hear him tell her, “I’m going to beat her a** and kick her out of my house!” I tell him off. He tells me he was just mad and didn’t mean it, and that I just caused a lot of problems between them and how I don’t care about his son. He said he no longer texts or talks to her like that, and that he is just here for his son. Whom I’ve never met, because the only time she lets him see him is at her parent’s house. Eric still has not come home. He is still with her. He refuses to answer my calls, so I stopped trying. I feel like he is asking too much of me by expecting me to trust him with a person he cheated on me with, then punishing me when I can’t. And, now I believe more than ever he is with her, because you don’t tell anyone you will beat your girl for them. He doesn’t consider seeing his son cheating. No matter what he says I know deep down inside he is cheating. I do care if his son has a father, but he has never made an effort to see him without her. He would go to court if this was just about seeing his son. So, that really shows what he cares about. I feel so stupid right now for coming back to him, and letting him give me herpes, but I would be on the street right now if I didn’t. I just want out. I have no money, no one I can stay with, and no job. What should I do? I really need help coming up with a plan. – Still His Stupid Girlfriend Dear Ms. Still His Stupid Girlfriend , O_O I really had to take time to digest this letter, and sit with it. Honey, I made some tea, then some more tea, and then some more tea. Girl, this is just a hot a** mess, and should be a Lifetime movie. The layers of this letter is deep. I simply cannot believe that you intentionally slept with him knowing he had herpes, and then contracted it, and, you still stayed with him. Gulps tea. And, he was supposed to come home, however, he is still in another state with his baby momma, and refuses to accept your calls. WOW! WOW! WOW! Gulps tea. I truly believe that the wedding he was attending was his own. Yes, sweetie, he went down there and married that woman, and now he has to figure out a way to either a.) Tell you and get you out of his house. Or, b.) He continues to play the both of you and he travels back and forth lying to you telling you that he is going to see his son, when in actuality he is going to see his wife. It hurts my heart that you were able to get away from him once before, get your G.E.D., start community college, and you had your own apartment. I’m so sorry that you fell on hard times, and lost your place, but the last and I mean the last place you should have considered going to was back to him. Why go back to all of that drama and mess he put you through? He cheated on you, and lied about it. Hell, not only once, but a number of times he’s cheated on you. The first time he cheated should have been enough. And, after you put him out of the bedroom, and he then moved out four months later, that should have been it. But, you took him back, and then when his uncle died (which I don’t believe), he tells you he doesn’t want you coming with him, and, yet, you find out he got another woman pregnant. He wasn’t going to tell you, you had to dig and find out this information. So, had you not snooped and found this information he would have never told you. Think about it, the entire time she was pregnant, then conceived, and when the child was a month old, he still had not told you. HE WAS NEVER GOING TO TELL YOU! SMDH! But, let’s address the serious matter that he is a hoe. He sleeps around, and has casual sex with women without using any protection. He cheated on you twice that you know of, and the second woman ended up pregnant. Then, when you and he get back together after some time, you learn that he contracted herpes because of some fling he had at a conference. Uhm, ma’am, he is a hoe. And, you should have used common sense to know that he is not to be trusted, or someone whom you should lay with and give yourself to. I don’t care if he was your first, your only, and your last, no d**k, especially tainted d**k is worth risking your life over. Let the d**k go! Look at all the lies he’s told you, then he covers them up and doesn’t tell you. You have to snoop, dig, and pry in order to get the truth out of him, and even then he continues to lie to you. He uses the other woman and his son as a scapegoat, when in reality that is where he wants to be. It’s obvious that he is stringing you and her along because he doesn’t want to pay child support and have the money taken out of his pay check. Therefore, he keeps telling you he loves you, and wants to be with you, and he is telling her the same thing. Even to the point where she has petitioned to have him taken him off child support, and he pays her and agrees to travel once a month or every few months to go see his son. He’s gangsta! He’s a hustler. He’s a con man. He’s a lying piece of –ish, and he’s trapped you and her into his web of lies and game. And, on top of it, he gave you an STD, which I truly don’t understand why you would knowingly sleep with him and put yourself at risk when he has demonstrated and shown you that he doesn’t care about himself, or you. A man who can have casual sex, and not use any protection, is not someone you should ever trust yourself to lay with or be with. If he doesn’t take his own life and health seriously, then he will never ever take your life or health serious as well. So, now that your man has gone and married another woman (I believe that in my heart), and he refuses to answer your calls or texts, then it’s time to put a plan into place. You find a shelter, a good friend, or call human services and ask for resources for women who have no place to go and need assistance. Get on public assistance if you have to. You’re going to have to stop being a victim, and start over again. You’ve done it before, and you can do it again. Stop relying on him. He is unreliable. He is a liar. He is deceptive, and he doesn’t respect or love you. Stop thinking you need him, and stop making the excuse for him that he should be there for his daughter. Clearly he doesn’t want to be there, otherwise, he would man up and do what he needs to and be present in her life. He’s told you to stay out of his business, and stop interfering with him and his baby momma. You are not his wife. You are the side chick living in his house. Which is why he told her that he is going to beat your a** and put you out of his house. You have not stake, no claim, no nothing to him or that house. Get out of this relationship before he destroys more of you. Go to a shelter if you have to, let go of the pride and ego and work on saving you and your daughter. Make sure you find a doctor to get treatment for your herpes, and begin a regimen for medication. You have to take care of you and your daughter. Stop calling him and texting him. He doesn’t want to be bothered. He doesn’t want to talk to you. Stop trying to make this relationship work when it is clearly over. Stop calling the other woman and threatening her, she is caught up in his lies and bull-ish just like you are. Who knows what he is telling her about you, and what lies he’s telling her. Besides, you notice that she doesn’t call you. Therefore, stop calling her. You’ve got to think of your own well-being and that of your daughter. Stop obsessing over a man who doesn’t give a damn about you. Rebuild your life, your self-esteem and self-worth. It’s time to invest all that energy into you and your daughter. Invest in your education, get your degree and begin working again. Find a job, somebody is hiring. Find a church or spiritual center to rebuild and nourish your spirit, and soul. Build friendships, supporters, and reinforcements that encourage you. LET HIM GO! He doesn’t want you. He doesn’t respect you. He doesn’t love you. Leave today. Not tomorrow, but today. Make the calls and start planning. Honey, you are better than me, because I would pack all my stuff and leave. And, when I left, I would leave the doors wide open. BOOM! BAM!

One way ticket with gasoline draws on… Priest Presses Charges After Finding His Church Used For Pornography An Austrian priest discovered that his church was being used as a film set for blasphemous bang-sessions without his knowledge or consent. He was tipped off by a concerned church member who came forward after recognizing the sanctuary while viewing one of the freaky films on the internet . We bet that was an awkward conversation to say the least… Via DailyStar : A furious priest had his suspicions confirmed and went straight to police after discovering a local woman had been using the holy building as a studio to make films. Someone had tipped him off after recognizing the interior of the church in Hoersching, Austria, from a clip that had been uploaded to the Internet. The sexy videos show the dark-haired local woman wearing jeans and a white blouse holding a rosary in one hand and the Bible in the other. But the house of God soon turned into the house of sin. Police are now investigating exactly how the crew and actors managed to get into the church, which was used without permission. Those involved may be charged for creating “mischief” liable to cause legitimate nuisance in a church or religious community. They could face six months in prison or a fine. The Diocese of Linz said in a statement: “The sacraments which were celebrated in the past few weeks in the parish church are still considered valid. “But they may still require the local bishop to come and perform a service of purification.” Hopefully this purification service includes the bleaching and sanitation the pews of this sinful sanctuary. People have to sit there in their nice clothes on Sunday morning! DailyStar/CEN
Teresa Giudice may be going to jail in the very near future, but instead of keeping her nose clean and figuring out how to best provide for her children in the event that she gets locked up, Teresa has chosen to focus on what’s really important: Biting the hand that feeds her by feuding with her Bravo boss Andy Cohen! Yes, we learned earlier today that Teresa earns an astonishing $700,000 per season from The Real Housewives of New Jersey , and even though her job and the entire Housewives franchise might not exist without Cohen, she’s still taking him to task for comments he made on his show recently. On Tuesday night’s Watch What Happens Live , Cohen said of Teresa and her husband: “[They] didn’t get out of jail by being on Housewives of New Jersey …They are going to have to do whatever time they do.” Teresa somehow interpreted this as Cohen “joking” about her situation, and sources say she is now refusing to premiere on WWHL on Sunday, as originally scheduled. “She would prefer Andy not make any comments about the sentencing, because she doesn’t want to do anything that could affect what the punishment will be,” says a friend of Teresa’s. “It’s one thing for the legal proceedings to play out on the show, but Andy isn’t a lawyer, and shouldn’t discuss things he knows nothing about.” We’re not lawyers either, but we’re pretty sure that nothing Andy Cohen says on TV will result in Teresa receiving more jail time. So Teresa, instead of lashing out at Andy and accusing Bravo of exploiting you , maybe you should try to make nice so that you’ll have a job when you get out of the slammer. 13 Classic Teresa Giudice Moments 1. Teresa Giudice: Table Flipping And now for the classic. Teresa’s face is priceless as she famously flips the table. Bravo. Bravo.
Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson have made it official. The couple, who has been dating since 2010 and who have two kids together (Maxell, 2; and Ace, 13 months) exchanged vows Saturday at San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, California. Ready to roll film on edition of Newlyweds , MTV? Just kidding. Please don’t. Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson: Relive the Romance! 1. NEWLYWEDS! Hooray for Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson. These two tied the knot in July 2014. “We are overwhelmed with complete happiness and love having made our eternal commitment,” Simpson and Johnson told People. “To say ‘I do’ in front of family, friends and, most importantly, our children has been the happiest moment of our lives. The bride and groom were joined on their special day by over 250 family members and friends, such as Simpson’s parents Tina and Joe Simpson; sibling Ashlee Simpson and her fiance Evan Ross; and BFF CaCee Cobb and husband Donald Faison. The singer donned a custom Carolina Herrera gown for her big day, while Ace served as ring bearer and Maxwell was a flower girl. Simpson, of course, married Nick Lachey (and lost her virginity to him !) in 2002. The pair then had their lives documented for one of the small screen’s first-ever pointless reality shows. They got divorced in 2005. This is the first marriage for Johnson and, let’s hope, the final marriage for Simpson. Congrats to the happy couple!!! Celebrities Who Got Married in 2014 1. Kaley Cuoco and Ryan Sweeting The Big Bang Theory’s Kaley Cuoco married Ryan Sweeting in a New Year’s ceremony making them one of the first couples to tie the knot in 2014.
Does R.Kelly support his transsexual daughter ?? Andrea Kelly Says Ex-Hubby R. Kelly Needs To Support Transsexual Daughter R. Kelly and “Hollywood Exes” Star Andrea Kelly’s youngest daughter has come forward with her decision to transition from female to male. Internet rumors had been bubbling about the 13-year-old for a number of weeks after she was seen wearing men’s clothing on social media sites. Jaya transformed into Jay and now how her mother reality star Andrea Kelly is opening up about her son: Via VH1 reports: All I can say about Jay is he makes it so easy to be a proud mom. For parents, we need to realize, [our kids] have their own journey. Parents get it wrong when they don’t support their children. They have to go out and fight every day and face this world. The first battle should not be at home. I think that a lot of children in the LGBT community don’t succeed because the one thing they need the most is foundation. I just tell Jay all the time, baby you won the war. You’re gonna have a lot of battles but you won the war. Mama accepts and loves you for who you are. Your family does. My dad is a retired military naval officer and all he said was, “I’m gonna mess up sometimes and [use the feminine pronoun] ‘she’ but I’m gonna eventually get the ‘he’ thing. Just give grandpa some time. I’m gonna get it dude.” That was it. It’s pretty remarkable for a 14-year-old to be so open publicly. I mean that takes some courage. It’s like Jay; you don’t understand that you’re changing people’s lives just by being courageous. The kid is so courageous. She has…and see, there I go [using the wrong pronoun]. It’s a learning experience. It really is. It’s something we smile about. When I make that mistake I’m like, “Girl, you got a son, honey, get it together. Get it right.” [Laughs] Being R.Kelly and your child, there has been a lot of attention surrounding Jay coming out as trans. Was that surprising to your family? You know it took a minute for that to click in my head. Then I have to stop and come back and say, in the urban community this is like a first. [For my family] this isn’t this shocking thing. I need [people], especially in the black community, to stop burying their heads in the sand. Let’s quit playing that game that you just chose to be gay or trans. What we choose every day is what we wear. We need to stop worrying about people’s gender and sexuality and think about the choices we’re making with our youth, period. That’s what we need to focus on in my community. Do you think R.Kelly should full embrace his daughter’s huge transformation?? IG
Producer Says Urban Music Is Destroying Black Youth via Financial Juneteenth Grammy Award winning producer/song-writer Carvin Haggins talks about the changes that have been seen in music on the radio. Haggins says that as he listens to the music on public airwaves, he’s finding that the songs he hears are “disrespectful,” “degrading” and “tearing our children down.” He says that as a parent and concerned citizen, someone has to speak out about the music being promoted which has the common theme of “sex, murder, drugs, kill, drinking.” He says that these kinds of themes are unacceptable, and concerned citizens should mobilize to stop it. He has created a campaign with the hashtag #RageAgainstTheRatchet, to bring awareness to this very serious problem. Carvin says that he feels that music should uplift you and make you feel good. He compares it to old school artists like Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye and James Brown. The singer is concerned about the fact that this kind of uplifting music is no longer being created today, and has been replaced by something more sinister. He says that as a song writer, he once leaned toward ways that he could improve upon the work done by his predecessors, but those days are no more, since young artists today don’t have any productive music to relate to. Haggins feels that the black community overlooks the music, to our detriment. He also says that those who feel that the music is just “young people’s stuff” are wrong, since many of the artists spitting out the music are over the age of 35. He says that even though artists have the right to produce negative music, they should not be allowed to do so on public radio that children can hear for free. The Financial Juneteenth lesson from this story is that most of the music produced today is created to make a profit by continuously feeding off of the growing black American appetite for destructive dysfunction. Shows like “Love & Hip-Hop” prey on the worst within the black community, making millions for executives who don’t have to deal with the fallout of these cultural norms in their own neighborhoods. Because they don’t have to deal with the chaos occurring in urban communities across America, many of these executives are fine with promoting toxic culture to black children. But make no mistake about it, it’s going to destroy a large segment of the next generation.
