Jennifer Hudson's mother and brother murdered

A of the writing, the motive for the killing of Jennifer Hudson's mother and brother is not yet determined. Jennifer Hudson was a finalist in the American Idol and an Oscar awardee in "Dreamgirls." The publicist also refuse to give any statement coming from the actress.

Darnell Donerson and Jason Hudson were found slain Friday in their home on Chicago's South Side, according to police.

According to published reports, William Balfour has been taken into custody, but he has not been charged.

Police spokeswoman Monique Bond told AP that investigators were talking to "a number of people in custody" but she declined to elaborate.

Authorities issued an Amber Alert on Friday for a 7-year-old boy who was missing from the scene of the double homicide.

Julian King, Hudson's nephew, is 4 feet, 11 inches tall and weighs 130 pounds. He was wearing a brown polo shirt with stripes and khaki pants when last seen, authorities said in the Amber Alert.

American Idol Lakisha Jones is getting married

I rooted for her to become the American Idol but even if she did not win, I still admired her for dreaming to give her daughter good life as a single parent.

Now Lakisha Jones is giving a father to her five year-old daughter by marrying Houston financial adviser Larry Davis.


The two will get married tomorrow at Beverly Wilshire Hotel with black and white as the theme.

She will be wearing An Alfred Angelo strapless gown, Neil Lane diamond earrings and crystal encrusted custom-made Stuart Weitzman shoes.

Her guests include her Idol friends, families, relatives and celebrities like Chaka Khan.

She has been busy appearing in the Broadway and preparing for her first solo CD.

Jones said:

"I am glad to be me," Jones says. "I may not have won American Idol, but I have won because I'm able to provide a better life for me and my daughter and that’s all I've ever wanted."

SANJAYA IS STILL ON HAIR RAISING MOMENT

Remember Sanjaya Malakar, the former American Idol who made a sensation with his different hairstyle every week? He kept his cool despite the insult heaped upon him by
the judges for having avoided being eliminated for a few weeks during the semi-finals.

He has now a tv ad which features, guess what...his hair.

He is also into recording songs for his album.

JORDIN SPARKS is American Idol 2007

After two hours of non-stop singing from previous winners and guests, the time has come to announce the new American Idol. Jordin Sparks. My favorite after Melinda.

Jordin Sparks.



Sanjaya Malakar was the only one among the twelve except for Blake Lewis and Jordin Sparks of course to have performed solo.

Tony Bennet sang.

So was Gwen Stefani.

Bette Midler sang Wind Beneath my Wings.

Jordin sang a duet with Reuben Stoddard.

Taylor Hicks sang too with his annoying dancing. Yeks.

Sanjaya is eliminated at last

After struggling to survive five elimination rounds, Sanjaya was voted out tonight.




He was among the three who received the least number of votes. The other two were Blake Lewis and one of the top contenders for American Idol trophy, Lakisha Jones.

Many will be rejoicing but to me, Sanjaya is one of the reasons why many watched the show.Anticipating that he would be eliminated anytime, the viewers waited for Wednesday nights to hear the news.

With Lakisha almost being voted out tonight, Melinda Doolittle and Jordin Sparks are not sure if they may find themselves in the same situation in any remaining week of the Season.

SANJAYA Phenomenon-American Idol Voting Rigged?

The people are alarmed. The psychics are hyperventilating. Sanjaya is still in American Idol despite the the predictions that he will be going home soon.

Theories were drawn for the staying power of Sanjaya and claims were made to own the responsibility of keeping him in the reality show.
1. Theory 1- Call centers in India are diverting calls to vote.
2. Theory 2-Phone lines are jammed to prevent voting for other contestants.
3. Votefortheworst.com claims that it is voting for Sanjaya.

So when he is going to go? That is the question.

In response to Sanjaya's staying power, American Idol's producers claim movements like "Vote for the Worst" and Howard Stern don't stand a chance in the voting process.

Whatever is the sentiment of the majority for Sanjaya, it can not be denied that he is already a phenomenon, challenging the big starmaker, the American Idol.

Sanjaya still in, Stephanie Out

Sanjaya is in. It was Stephanie Edwards who got the boot.


I thought it was Phil Stacey who is going to be eliminated. But I also included her in the bottom three. Look at the judges' ratings of her performance.


There was no bottom three. There were only two; Chris and Stephanie. Sanjaya was safe. He was all smiles unlike the previous weeks when he would knit his brows in anticipation for the result.
Ahh Haley was also smiles. She found out that being sexy broadens your fan base.
