Jennifer Hudson Sends Thanks on Her Blog!!

Jennifer Hudson

In the wake of the horrific tragedy of the loss of Jennifer Hudson’s family, Hudson has posted a message on her MySpace page.

“I want to thank each and every one of you for your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. My sister and I take great comfort and strength from your love and concern. jhud”

Jennifer’s mother, Darnell, and brother, Jason, were found shot to death in their Chicago home on Oct. 24.

Just three days later, the body of Julian, her nephew, was found.

Jennifer’s fans have been very supportive to her and her sister.  I still get chills when I read about what happened.

Does Justin Timberlake Want Children??

According to US Magazine, while at the Child Alive Ball in NYC, Timberlake was asked if he wanted children.  He responded by saying,

“I’m not sure.”

This is a surprising answer since Timberlake has been an advocate for kids’ charities. In addition to last night’s event, he hosted a golf tournament to benefit the Shriners Hospitals for Children last month.

I wonder how his girlfriend, Jessica Biel feels about his answer.  That could be a deal breaker in any relationship.

On a lighter note, Justin and Jessica are focusing on their move to NYC. He and Biel have just purchased a home in the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan.

Justin loves N.Y.  He stated,

“It’s good for everything.  It’s good for food, there’s some good fashion, there’s mostly good weather except for today and it’s the realest city in America.”

As a life long New Yorker I would like to be the 1st to welcome Justin and Jessica to the Big Apple.  Welcome.

Beyonce Speaks about Marriage, Jay Z and Herself

Beyonce

Seventeen Magazine did something no other magazine has been able to do. They got Beyoncé to discuss marriage and JayZ.  Good job Seventeen!!

Beyonce stated,

“I was 18 when we first met, 19 when we first started dating. There was no rush,” “I really don’t believe that you will love the same thing when you’re 20 as you do at 30.”

The singer says she wanted to have a strong sense of self before making a lifelong commitment to anyone.

 At 27, Beyonce is quoted as saying,

“Before the age of 25, I would never get married. I feel like you have to get to know yourself, know what you want, spend some time by yourself, and be proud of who you are before you can share that with someone else.

I don’t care if you’re picture-perfect on every magazine cover, and you’re the most handsome, successful, coolest guy. You still get sad, and you still get your feelings hurt, and you still get confused and vulnerable and nervous and scared. You have to find a person you can make it through the tough times with.”

Beyoncé also shows her ambitious side in the interview, saying that she often studies her own past performances looking for ways to improve.

Is that even possible?? She is absolutely gorgeous, a great actress and an amazing singer. She has millions of fans that already consider her perfect. Is there anything that she can’t do??

Brad Pitt Furious Over Jen’s Remarks About Angelina – Fact or Fiction??

Brad Pitt

The Daily Mail has reported that Brad Pitt is furious over over his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston’s comments about his new love, Angelina Jolie, in an interview with Vogue magazine.

Brad Pitt was believed to be angry about Jennifer Aniston discussing Angelina Jolie’s decision to spill the beans about falling in love with him while he was still married.

In the interview with Vogue magazine, Jen said she and Brad are on good terms and she has

“nothing but absolute admiration for him”

Brad and Angela were very surprised by Jen’s remarks. They thought she had moved on and wouldn’t want to reopen this old wound.

Brad is upset??  Isn’t he the one who cheated on Aniston in front of the entire world.   Humiliating for Jen is an understatement.

What do you think – if this is a fact – Should Brad be upset over Jen’s recent comments with Vogue??

Angelina Jolie Walks into the Sunset….

Access Hollywood has reported in an interview with the BBC, Angelina Jolie said she will soon be shifting her focus from film to family.

Angelina said,

“I don’t plan on acting very long. I’m ready to do a few things now and fade away and get ready to be a grandma one day.”

Grandma?? Isn’t her oldest son Maddox only 7??

The mother of six would prefer to spend less time working and more time at home raising her brood with partner Brad Pitt.

Before she calls it quits, Angelina has quite a few projects in the works.

Among the films currently in development for the actress are the historical drama “The Mercenary,” the stylistic “Sin City 2,” “Lara Croft Tomb Raider: III” and the 2011 project “Pandamonium” – the follow-up to the animated hit “Kung Fu Panda.”

And once she’s done working on those projects, and several others that are in the works, Angelina is ready to walk into the sunset.

Do you think she will really retire?

Joe Jonas Speaks Out About Breakup

Jonas Brothers

Joe Jonas is speaking out on his the breakup with Taylor Swift on his MySpace page.

Here are some excerpts from the Jonas Brothers MySpace page:

To Our Fans from Joe, Kevin and Nick:

It is our normal rule to avoid talking about our private lives. It seems that it has come to the point where we must address a few things. We would prefer to address these things and then leave it alone from that point forward.

There are rumors and suggestions that are being publicized in the press right now about us. Like all people our age we are trying to find someone special that we can share time with in our busy lives. We all have busy schedules and high demands. We love our life and are thankful for all that we have. We are simply stating that it is difficult to maintain relationships with the kind of life we live.

We love our fans and it is important to us to protect that relationship.

To Our Fans from Joe:

This blog is not an attack of anyone. Anytime you are in a relationship for any length of time there are going to be issues. Sometimes they resolve. Other times they lead to a change of heart. This was the case recently.

Several things I will state with all my heart…

I never cheated on a girlfriend. It might make someone feel better to assume or imply I have been unfaithful but it is simply not true. Maybe there were reasons for a breakup. Maybe the heart moved on. Perhaps feelings changed. I am truly saddened that anything would potentially cause you to think less of me.

For those who have expressed concern over the “27 second” phone call. I called to discuss feelings with the other person. Those feelings were obviously not well received. I did not end the conversation. Someone else did. Phone calls can only last as long as the person on the other end of the line is willing to talk. A phone call can be pretty short when someone else ends the call. The only difference in this conversation was that I shared something the other person did not want to hear.

There were later attempts at communication that had no response.

I wish the best for the other person but could not sit back any longer and leave our fans with a wrong impression of the truth.

Hope this helps enlighten a little.

We love you and miss you

Joe, Kevin and Nick

and so he speaks.

Lipstick Jungle to be Cancelled??

Lipstick Jungle Cast

One of my favorite shows, Lipstick Jungle, is officially on its last leg. There is a lot of talk that the show is going to be cancelled. Apparently the ratings are not what they should be and since they moved the show to Friday nights the ratings have gotten even worse.

Kim Raver, Lindsay Price and Brooke Shields play the three female leads (Nico, Victory and Wendy) and Robert Buckley plays Kirby Atwood, Nico’s hot younger boyfriend. I’m going to miss you Kirby.

More on Deanna and Jesse’s Breakup

Is anyone tired of hearing about Deanna Pappa’s and Jesse Csincsak breakup??

Extra recently had an interview with Jesse where he gave more insight into the breakup.

Jesse stated,

“We both went on the show with the best of intentions. We did fall in love on the show, but things didn’t work out. I wish her nothing but the best. She’s a great person. I hope to see her do well. I don’t regret anything with her.”

What kind of girl is Jesse looking for?

“I want a down-to-earth, honest outgoing girl that loves to be outside and snowboard.”

Surprisingly, Jesse said if given the opportunity he would do another reality show to find the right woman. Although he did give it a spin that might actually work. Especially since there is only 1 couple that has ever made it to the alter (Trista and Ryan).

“I’d want to put them [the girls] in my element… to be out in Colorado… doing the things I like to do… if I could meet a girl that is into doing all those things and is honest and outgoing, I think I could find true love again.”

Not a bad idea. Instead of creating the perfect romantic environment – have the bachelor or bachelorette go about their everyday life. This way the contestants can get the real picture instead of one big honeymoon. What do you think – would this help more couples to make it to the alter??
