After dropping from a size 16 to a 6, the fall cover girl tells InStyle Makeover that she sometimes has to do a double take when she sees herself in photos. Jennifer Hudson has experienced a long list of firsts this past year, from having a baby and planning a wedding to tackling a meaty new role, but none have been quite as shocking as her total body transformation. “I’m like, ‘Wow! This is what I look like?’” says the new mom, who slimmed down with 5-day-a-week workouts with celebrity tra

‘It’s all a blur. It was surreal,’ she says in episode of VH1’s ‘Behind the Music.’ By Jocelyn Vena Jennifer Hudson Photo: Alexandra Wyman/WireImage On Monday night’s episode of “Behind the Music,” Jennifer Hudson openly discussed the tragic October 2008 murders of her mother, brother and nephew for the first time, describing that time as “surreal.” “It’s all a blur. It was surreal,” she said in the episode. “It was like I was outside of myself. For almost two weeks straight … [I was] inside one room with just family and friends coming in and out. I prayed when I’d get up in the morning and prayed before I laid down at night.” Not long after Hudson got engaged to David Otunga and released her debut album, the bodies of Hudson’s mother, Darnell Hudson Donerson, 57, and older brother, Jason, 29, were discovered inside the home Hudson grew up in on Chicago’s South Side. Julian King, Hudson’s 7-year-old nephew, was reported missing soon after. His body was later discovered in an SUV on Chicago’s West Side. All three victims died from multiple gunshot wounds. William Balfour , the estranged husband of Hudson’s sister Julia, was charged with the murders. Hudson remained relatively low-profile after the murders until the 2009 Grammys, where she performed “You Pulled Me Through.” “I was definitely thinking of my family when I was singing that song,” she said. “I could hear my brother in my head, like, ‘Jennifer, you need to kill this, you need to get up and do it.’ I knew he would be disappointed if I didn’t do it justice.” Since that time in her life she said, “I feel like I’ve lived about three or four different lives,” adding that her son, David Jr. , “reminds me of my nephew.” “In so many ways I channel [my mother] because she was such a great mom.” She said her son “makes me feel like the most special person on earth. I want him to get the same love and the same upbringing my mother gave us.” Related Artists Jennifer Hudson

‘It’s an incredible script,’ the actress says. By Eric Ditzian Maria Bello Photo: MTV News Taylor Lautner has thrown himself into boxing and fight training in the last few months. He’s learning to work movie magic on a motorcycle. And he’s likely going to have to jump into a pool and figure out how to swim like an action hero . That’s just what it’s going to take to slip into his starring role in “Abduction,” a flick that’s being compared to the Jason Bourne films. And it’s a good thing he’s committed himself so fully, because as co-star Mario Bello told MTV News , the movie will be nothing short of hardcore. “It’s an incredible script. It really is,” she told us at the red-carpet premiere of “Grown Ups.” “John Singleton is directing. I’m so happy to be a part of it. It’s going to be a badass movie.” The story follows Lautner as a kid who, thanks to a visit to a missing-persons website, discovers that he has actually been abducted and the parents who raised him are not his flesh and blood. Jason Isaacs plays his faux-dad, while Bello is his faux-mom. “Do I look like Taylor’s mom?” she asked. Judging by the look she was rocking the red carpet — a form-fitting blue dress and short, sun-kissed blonde locks — Bello should have no problem convincing audiences that she could have birthed a good-looking kid like Lautner. “He is such a gorgeous guy,” she said. But, of course, in the film it turns out that she’s not his real mother. And when Lautner makes that discovery, he’s thrust into a run-and-gun-style thriller. Lautner himself has clearly been training hard for the requirements of “Abduction,” but what about Bello? Might we see her kick a little ass on the big screen? “You never know?” she said. “You’ll have to see the movie!” Check out everything we’ve got on “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .

By Jocelyn Vena Jennifer Hudson Photo: Steve Granitz/ WireImage In an episode of “Behind the Music” airing Monday on VH1, Jennifer Hudson will talk at length for the first time about the murders of her mother, nephew and brother in October 2008. Not long after Hudson got engaged to David Otunga and released her debut album, the bodies of Hudson’s mother, Darnell Hudson Donerson, and older brother, Jason, were discovered inside the home Hudson grew up in on Chicago’s South Side. Donerson was 57 years old, and Jason was 29. Julian King, Hudson’s 7-year-old nephew, was reported missing soon after. Julian’s body was found in an SUV on Chicago’s West Side the following Monday. All three victims died from multiple gunshot wounds. William Balfour, the estranged husband of Hudson’s sister Julia , was charged with the murders. The “Behind the Music” episode will focus on Hudson’s rise to fame after her early exit from “American Idol.” Hudson, who gave birth to a son earlier this year, also touches on her Oscar and Grammy wins, her love life and motherhood. The episode will include exclusive footage of Hudson and her son, David Jr. Also included in the show are interviews with her sister Julia, “American Idol” judge Randy Jackson, Otunga, Jamie Foxx, Queen Latifah, Whitney Houston, Ne-Yo, Robin Thicke and label boss Clive Davis. Hudson recently had a track on the “Sex and the City 2” soundtrack and was named the spokesperson for Weight Watchers . Earlier this year, she revealed her music and movie plans . “I’m actually recording my album right now,” she said back in February. “And getting ready for my next film [‘Winnie’], which is [about] Winnie Mandela. So it’s a bit busy, but I’m enjoying myself.” Are you looking forward to Jennifer’s “Behind the Music” episode? Let us know in the comments. Related Artists Jennifer Hudson
