Jennifer Hudson Expresses Sympathy for William Balfour

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.”

Despite what some celebrity gossip sources (cough, Us Weekly ) would like you to believe, Emily Maynard and Jef Holm are so totally not on the rocks. On Good Morning America today, The Bachelorette couple put on a united front … which is probably just their actual front. They’re totes in love. “It’s crazy,” Jef said of reports that Emily Maynard was sexting some other man. “That’s just tabloid stuff … rumors written about us and it’s not true.” “Emily and I are so happy. We’re great, we’re in love and we’re happy.”

Jennifer Hudson, Sister Send Prayers to Family of William Balfour

Not long after William Balfour was found guilty of murdering her mother, brother and nephew, Jennifer Hudson released an email statement regarding the tragedy as a whole. “We have felt the love and support from people all over the world, and we’re very grateful,” Hudson and sister Julia said, extending a prayer “from the Hudson family to the Balfour family” because “we have all suffered a terrible loss in this tragedy.” Quoting Scripture, the Hudson sisters concluded: “And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in them that perish: in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn upon them (2 Corinthians 4:3-4). It is our prayer that the Lord will forgive Mr. Balfour of these heinous acts and bring his heart into repentance someday.” Balfour faces life in prison, and his attorney plans to appeal her client’s multiple convictions next month.

Jessica Sanchez vs. Jennifer Hudson: Who Sang It Better?

Jessica Sanchez gets major points for showing confidence and taking risks this season on American Idol . First, the singer covered Whitney Houston’s ” I Will Always Love You ,” as challenging a track as there could be for a contestant to attempt. Then, last night, she went with ” And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going ,” the iconic single that essentially won Jennifer Hudson an Oscar in Dreamgirls. We’ve linked to Jessica’s performance in this sentence, and we’ve posted Hudson’s version below, and now we’re asking: Jennifer Hudson – “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” (Dreamgirls) WHO SINGS IT BETTER?

Lindsay Lohan Involved in Another Nightclub Fracas; Michael Lohan Comes to Her Rescue

The life of Lindsay Lohan is almost too ludicrous to believe sometimes. Last night, the alleged actress returned to the scene of the alleged crime from two weeks ago, when she allegedly got into a fight with some woman. This time, LiLo rolled to The Standard Hotel in Hollywood and went to Smoke and Mirrors, the same nightclub … and got into it with another woman. Lindsay’s friend drove her car to the hotel, with the star in the passenger seat. The driver pulled into the parking garage and promptly hit another car. Witnesses say Lindsay called her sometimes-estranged, oft-jailed father, Michael Lohan, for help, and he dutifully showed up … and then hung out! MiLo took his little girl inside the club and the two chilled for hours, without any alcohol. Cute! It was all fun until some moron had to go mouth off. Around closing time, a woman in the booth next to theirs made a snide comment about Lindsay showing up with her dad. LiLo was far from happy. Lindsay got up and screamed, “Shut the f**k up!” The woman responded by throwing a drink in Lindsay’s face . MiLo grabbed her and bolted for the exit. A day in the life. [Photo: WENN.com]
