Police confirmed Friday they found the gun used in the killings of Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother and nephew, as the family's South Side community prepared a public memorial to say goodbye. The .45-caliber gun was discovered Wednesday in a vacant lot in the West Side neighborhood where the body of Hudson's 7-year-old nephew Julian King was found a few days earlier inside an SUV. "The weapon has been positively identified through forensic examination as the weapon that was used in the homicides," police Superintendent Jody Weis said at an unrelated Friday news conference. A police official has said detectives think Hudson's nephew was alive when he left the house where his relatives were killed and likely was shot in the SUV where his body was found. The police official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss the case publicly, would not elaborate on when detectives think the boy might have died.

PICS: FOXY BROWN'S NIP SLIPS; LAUREN LONDON SPOTTED IN HOLLYWOOD.

Actress Lauren London was in high spirits while spotted shopping at D'Carlino on trendy Robertson Blvd today. That dimpled smile may have a lot to do with the actress earning a spot as a cast member on the CW's 90210. Although Lauren has already taped two episodes, the upper-ups refused to confirm when her character will debut on the show. They also refused to give up the goods on if she would play 'Dixons' (the token black dude played by actor Tristan Wilds) love interest. I still don't understand the hype surrounding this show, but whatever.

Seriously, Foxy? I don't know what looks worse: the fact that no one bothered to tell her that her areolas have a mind of their own and don't mind showing themselves off OR those hood-versions of Tyler Perry and Dave Chappelle she's posing with.

TAMERA MOWRY ON IF SHE'LL EVER APPEAR ON IF SHE'LL EVER TAKE 'DANCING WITH THE STARS' UP ON THEIR OFFER.


"I've been asked to do Dancing With the Stars, and I've thought about the possibility, but I'm so afraid. It's so terrifying to go out there and learn all those dances. My boyfriend, my boyfriend's dad and my sister all tell me to go after it, but there's no way you're going to see me on there anytime soon, because it just scares me. I've heard it's really hard on the body, and I think I would just cry all the time. Maybe in two or three years I would be willing to give it a try."

--Actress Tamera Mowry on her chances of ever doing a reality show. 'I would just cry all the time?' I can't believe she said that...then again maybe I (yes,I continue to watch its reruns) still look at her as her 'Tamera Campbell'; the role she played on Sister, Sister. 'Tamera Campbell' would never say anything like that!
