Jennifer Hudson's nephew murdered

Jennifer Hudson's nephew murdered

Oscar award winning actress, Jennifer Hudson, has received devastating news about her family over the past couple of days.

 Hudson’s 7-year-old nephew, Julian King, died of multiple gunshot wounds.  His death has been ruled a homicide.  Just three days earlier, Hudson’s mother, Darnell Donerson, and brother, Jason Hudson were found fatally shot in their home.

 King had been missing since the killings, and was found dead in the back of an abandoned SUV in Chacigo.

 "We're not releasing anything else," said ME spokesman Sean Howard. "We possibly have a criminal out there and we have to maintain discretion."

 There are no suspects released yet, but police has declared King’s stepfather, William Balfour, as a “person of interest”.   Police are now investigating all three murders as one case.

 "Our investigation continues. He is still considered a person of interest in the investigation," Monique Bond, spokesman for the Chicago Police Department said.

Palin finally speaks about her $150K wardrobe

After news broke out last week saying the McCain campaign spend $150,000 on Sarah Palin's wardrobe, she has been hesitant to talk about it.

 If Palin won't talk about it, someone will.  Elisabeth Hasselbeck, a host on The View, brought it up when she was introducing Palin at a rally in the Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimee, Flordia.

 Hasselbeck said, "Instead of the issues, they are focused, fixated, on her wardrobe. Now, with everything going on in the world it seems a bit odd. But let me tell you, this is deliberately sexist."

People are confused as to how this is sexist.  The issue at hand is that the McCain campaign is wasting donations on unnecessary things.

Since Hasselbeck did bring up it, Palin obviously felt obligated to speak about it.

"This whole thing with the wardrobe, you know I have tried to just ignore it because it is so ridiculous, but I am glad now that Elisabeth brought it up, cause it gives me an opportunity without the filter of the media to get to tell you the whole clothes thing," Palin said. ""Those clothes, they are not my property. Just like the lighting and the staging and everything else that the RNC purchased, I'm not taking them with me. I am back to wearing my own clothes from my favorite consignment shop in Anchorage, Alaska."

 Move over Oprah, Sarah Palin might be taking your time slot.

 If John McCain and Sarah Palin lost the election, Palin might be looking for a career on television.

 The Early Show producer Steve Friedman tells The Hollywood Reporter, "Any television person who sees the numbers when she appears on anything would say Sarah Palin would be great."

Some TV executives are stoked about Palin wanting a career on television.

But not everyone is so excited about Palin’s new idea.

"I would not put her on the air. I find her a little stiff, and her ability to read the room is not quite fully developed."

Martha Stewart's c0-CEO is on thin ice

Martha Stewart and her new co-CEO are not seeing eye to eye.

 

Wenda Harris Millard was named co-CEO of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia back in June.

 

One of Millards close friends told NY Post, "It's no secret that Martha isn't the easiest person to work for. It wouldn't be the end of the world if [Millard] were to leave."

 

 

Millard feels that Martha is too controlling.  Millard is also less sure of herself as a CEO and is very quick to delegate responsibilities.

 

Sources are confused as to why they hired Millard again.

 

"I've worked with Martha in some capacity for more than four years, and I deeply admire and respect her. We've made enormous strides together and I'm looking forward to more great things to come," Millard said.

Is Zac turning in his HSM basketball jersey for a pirate sword?

Recent rumors about Zac Efron’s next role starring as a pirate are not true—not yet.

 The High School Musical 3: Senior Year star says he has no established plans to follow Orlando Bloom’s footsteps in the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

 "Honestly, at this time it's just a rumor," Efron told Ryan Seacrest on the American Idol host's radio show on Wednesday. "I wish I was going to be in Pirates of the Caribbean 4, so hopefully that will happen for me."

 Despite being chatty about his new perspective movie, Efron would not discuss anything about his love life and girlfriend, Vanessa Hudgens.

 "Dude, honestly, I don't talk about it," Efron said. "It's just easier."

Madonna and Guy Ritchie are getting divorce. The couple has been married for seven years and have three children Lourdes, 12, Rocco, 8, and David, 3.

There apparently have been problems brewing between Madonna and Richie according to Madonna’s friend.

"It was unraveling throughout the last year," says a source close to both camps. "They were living separate lives and coming together every now and then for the cameras."

The scandalous relationship between Madonna and Alex Rodriguez sparked the divorce, along with other issues the couple was disagreeing on.

"It wasn't just one thing," explains the source. "They just lost their connection."

 In order to extend his contract term, McGraw’s label, Curb Records, decided to release a greatest his album, despite efforts that McGraw has been putting toward a new album for more than a year.

 "I am saddened and disappointed that my label chose to put out another hits album instead of new music," says the country singer. "I've only had one studio album since my last hits package. It has to be just as confusing to the fans as it is to me."

 McGraw’s label expects the album to debut as the No. 1 album on the Billboard Country chart.

Clinton & Obama

The fact that either Hillary Clinton, a white woman, or Barack Obama, a black man will be the Democratic nominee for president is stirring up a national debate about how sexism and racism may profile the campaign.

A tea party with members of Columbus, Ohio’s Junior League a question posed:  Is blatant sexism more acceptable than blatant racism? 

“Sexism of the nature Hillary Clinton is experiencing has been around as kind of an acceptable joke for years.  As far as racism, it’s definitely not politically correct or acceptable,” voter Babette Feibel told us.

Hillary Clinton has had to deal with plenty of sexist remarks.  At a rally, people yelled at her and told her to “iron their shirts.”  Radio host Rush Limbaugh told listeners, “Will this country want to actually watch a woman get older before their eyes on a daily basis?”

Which is more tabboo: Racism or Sexism?

Sexism and racism have been rising between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. These expressions have been obvious, yet subtle, and sometimes imagined. These two politicians are revamping the national debate over what is and is not okay to say in public.

Clinton’s camp has seen sexism in comments about her appearance and emotions. Obama’s supporters have complained about racial implications in remarks about his Muslim-like middle name, Hussein, and his drug use as a young man.

Between the two democratic nominees being a white woman and a black man, this situation has created uproar of the nations sensitivity – or lack thereof – to certain kinds of comments. Is it more acceptable, for instance, to make a sexist remark than a racist remark?

"It's always been easier," says Marie Wilson, president of the White House Project, which encourages women's advancement in politics. "With women, you can get away with it."

Michelle Obama called her husband’s running mate, Joe Biden, “one of the smartest men in Washington,” just hours before the vice-presidential debate.

“[Biden is] the kind of guy you want to have a beer with,” she told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show Thursday.  “I hope that part of his personality comes through.”

As for her own man, Michelle talked about her husband’s eternal energy and promise – and also about the couple’s relationship.

Seacrest asked how she and Barack met,  Michelle said he merely told her, “We should go out.  He had no special lines.  Barack’s not some line-giver.”

The Republican Party of Texas will donate $1,500 to charity.  It received the money from leasing a booth at its state convention to a vendor who sold racist buttons, according to reports.

The booth selling the racist pin was leased by Jonathan Alcox of Florida according to the Dallas Morning News. 

Texas Republican’s spokesperson, Hans Klinger, said the Republicans have been unsuccessful in trying to reach the vendor, Republicanmarket.com, who sold pins, scarves, and other items last weekend.

So, instead, the part is sending a letter saying that he isn’t allowed to sell any items at any further state GOP events. 

The Republican Party has not decided which charity will receive its donation.

 Klinger went on to say that he and Republican leaders believe the pin is distasteful and they hated that it was being sold at their event, which he said was upbeat and dedicated to unity.

Sexism and Hillary Clinton

Sexism and Hillary Clinton

What kind of American leader would stand silent, supporting with sexist comments, attack with anti-feminist comments on a respectful women of the same party, but a national Democratic leader? 

Barack Obama.

Obama’s breakthrough says something good about the state of racial politics in our nation or the lack of racial politics and also the involvement of young people in politics.  But in his silence in the case of the media ridiculing Hillary Clinton by a national press corps obsessed with her gender is telling.  

And unless Barack Obama speaks, his campaign’s acceptance of the gender bias moved by our national media will remind many of Ronald Meagan’s acceptance of the race-baiting southern stragety because if Obama accepts the presidenct, because of utter sexism, a vicious gender attack on a female rival – the most famous female Democrat in history – he will set feminism in our country back a generation.

There is no hope for John Edwards.  His cruel reaction to the news that Hillary Clinton got a bit emotional during a New Hampshire diner visit was a window into an empty room.
