IS JENNIFER HUDSON PREGNANT?

So I've been reading about this rumored pregnancy for weeks now and this just came out from the Chicago Tribune about Jennifer's baby bump and baby shower.

A weekend baby shower in downtown Chicago confirmed what has long been rumored: Jennifer Hudson is pregnant.

“It was a baby shower, a quiet gathering of friends and mostly family,” singer/actress Felicia Fields, a longtime Hudson friend, said of Saturday’s get-together in a relative’s home. “They’re really trying to keep it kind of quiet.”

South Side native Hudson, the 27-year-old singing star who won the 2006 best supporting actress Oscar for “Dreamgirls,” is engaged to former reality TV star David Otunga, who’s currently pursuing a pro wrestling career. Hudson has said she no longer would live in Chicago after her mother, Darnell Donerson, brother Jason and nephew Julian King were found murdered in October, with William Balfour, the estranged husband of Jennifer’s sister Julia, charged with the crimes.

Hudson recently finished a co-headlining concert tour with singer Robin Thicke, with an April 25 show at the Arie Crown Theatre. Her manager and publicist previously denied that she is pregnant.

"It was a nice time that we had," Fields said of the shower. She didn’t want to get into when the baby is due, but speculation is that Hudson is many months along—an impression bolstered by her appearance of late.

As for whether Hudson received blue or pink gifts, Fields said, “They don’t know [the gender]. More yellow.”

If this is TRUE - The Hollywood Glitz sends out a BIG congratulations to Jennifer and David!

A PRINCE IN NEW YORK

Britain's Prince Harry's first-ever official visit to the States (New York) on behalf of the royal family. Harry, 24, and his elder brother, William, only this year were granted their own royal household, their own staff, an office at St. James's Palace, and their own ciphers, as they now begin to fulfill their official duties separate and apart from their father, Prince Charles. This was Harry's first overseas trip in that new capacity -- even though he is still only a part-time royal who has a full-time job as a lieutenant in the British army.The real purpose of the trip comes Saturday, when Harry is scheduled to play in a charity polomatch sponsored by Veuve Clicquot champagne.

Britain's Prince Harry spends a moment with 4-year-old Madison Murphy at Ground Zero. Madison's mom, Monica Iken, lost her husband, Michael, on Sept. 11, 2001.

"PRECIOUS" AN OSCAR GEM

Can you say Oscar winning performances? The Oprah Winfrey/Tyler Perry film is easing on down to the Oscar!



Directed by Lee Daniels (Monsters Ball), PRECIOUS: Based on the Novel "PUSH" By Sapphire is a sure contender for an OSCAR. Set in Harlem in 1987, it is the story of Claireece Precious Jones played by newcomer, (Gabourey "Gabby" Sidibe), a sixteen-year-old African-American girl who gets pregnant for the second time by her absentee father. At home, Precious suffers emotional and physical abuse from her mother, which is played brilliantly by B-More's own, Monique Hicks. From this trailer alone, both Monique and Gabby are absoulutely brilliant!
I almost didn't recognize the beautiful R&B sensation Mariah Carey as the social worker. This ain't no Glitter (although) I enjoyed that movie; but anyway - Mariah is coming into her own as an actress. Rounding out the cast is the beautiful and talented Paula Patton, who plays the caring teacher, Sherri Shephard and Lenny Kravitz. Wow! Great job on this one LEE! I must say that this film should definitely be nominated in at least 4 categories: Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director and Best Film.
The film will be released on November 6 in New York and Los Angeles. This is definitely a film worth waiting for!

OSCAR NOMINEE TARAJI P. HENSON AND HER SON TAKE IN A LAKER GAME

Taraji P. Henson and her son Marcel,15, were spotted at the LA Lakers vs. Denver Nuggets game. Taraji was featured in Monarch magazine and in the issue, she spoke about her teenage son. “I am very hands-on and I want to make sure my son has the energy he needs to go off to school and have a productive day. I don’t have an assistant. It’s all me. Taking care of my son is my number-one priority. It seems like my baby has grown up so quickly and I just want to cherish the time I have left with him before he goes away to college. I am already saddened by the fact that I only have a few years left….Honestly, I have done a hell of a job as a single mother and Marcel is an incredible kid. I believe children are closest to God’s heart, like little angels, and because I take good care of him that’s why I’m so blessed.”

He is so cute! Love Taraji's new cut!

THE FRESHMAN: PORTRAITS OF PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA

Barak Obama: The Freshman Opening Night Reception at the MB Gallery in Los Angeles.

Mr. President in his college years.


He looks really young here

Lisa Jack the photographer

The pictures on exhibit at the MB Gallery

Twenty of the 36 pictures she took of the president are on display at the West Hollywood's MB Gallery in an exhibition that runs until July 18.


Lisa Jack is the photographer behind the pictures of what the president was like when he was just another college freshman at Occidental College -- with a partly unbuttoned Oxford shirt, a big Panama hat and puffs of cigarette smoke as his props of choice for projecting that coveted aura of post-adolescent confidence and cool.

Obama can thank Jack for keeping the roll of photographs she took of him in 1980 out of circulation until he was elected. Nine were first published in Time Magazine's December "Person of the Year" spread on Obama.

Jack rummaged for the long-ignored negatives in her Minneapolis basement early in 2008, after it became clear Obama was a serious contender for the presidency. The now President is pictured kicking back on a couch in a living room near L.A.'s Occidental College, where he and Jack were students. Jack took these photographs for a class assignment.
