DOES JENNIFER HUDSON BLAME HERSELF FOR THE DEATH OF HER FAMILY MEMBERS?

Is Jennifer Hudson blaming herself and beating herself up for the gruesome murders of her mother, brother and seven-year old nephew in their family home last month? I hope not...but on the other hand I can understand why she would. Until she comes out and speak for herself, we can only speculate what the singer-turned-actress may be feeling at this time in her life. What a coincidence. Me and my big sis were just talking about this a few hours ago. Anyway, sources have claimed in one published report that Jennifer feels if she had been more firm in convincing her family to move out of their family home on the Southside of Chicago to live near her in Los Angeles they would still be alive today. "Jennifer grew up on Chicago's South Side, and knew all about the violence. She was able to get out, and wanted to take her mama with her, but Darnell said no," says family friend Sharita Dickey. Hudson's second cousin, adds, "Jennifer is hurting and asking why this happened. She's asking why she didn't do more to persuade Darnell to move away. It was Darnell's decision to stay here in Chicago. This was her home and her family were here," says Reverend Krista Alston.

Hudson's mother, Darnell Donerson, and brother, Jason, were found shot dead at their home on October 24th. Julian King, her seven-year-old nephew, was also killed - his body was found in an abandoned car three days later. Police are currently questioning William Balfour, the estranged husband of Hudson's sister Julia, over the slayings, but authorities have not filed any charges against him.

*UPDATE* NO REALITY SHOW FOR CHILLI. SINGER SAYS REPORTS ARE 'ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE.'


I have never been as happy to report a story rebuttal on this blog as I am right about now. On Monday, I posted a press release from VH1 announcing that Chilli of TLC would star in her own dating reality show. (see post here). Some of yall's comments were mean and vicious as hell! To each his own though. You all can breathe a sigh of relief. As it turns out, Chilli isn't looking for love after all. At least not on reality television. Chilli's camp released a statement on Wednesday to Entertainment Weekly denouncing the report. "Unfortunately, we weren't involved with the casting company that started this rumor. Chilli is currently in talks with several networks on developing a series of lifestyle-oriented shows. We have not discussed her actually starring in a particular show. The casting company has misrepresented the theme." A VH1 insider adds: "Sounds like they're still shopping the show." Translation: Sounds like wishful thinking. Chilli also vehemently denied this rumor on Ryan Cameron's Afternoon radio show on Atlanta's V103 radio station, claiming it was 'absolutely not true.' Her PR person also mentioned that if Chilli were ever to do a reality show, it would be based on 'all aspects of life including her role as a Mom, businesswoman and celebrity."

As for Chilli's much-anticipated solo project? Well, it isn't happening anytime this year as expected. Nor has another release date been set."Her solo album project has been moved back. We should have a second single out before the first of the year."
