"Some terribly alarming and horribly sad news happened over the weekend to Oscar winning actress and former American Idol contestant Jennifer Hudson. Her mother and brother were both killed in their South Side Chicago home and her 7-year-old nephew Julian was abducted after the slayings. Jennifer and her family put out a message and a $100,000 reward for the safe return of the boy, but a body was found today and was IDed as the little boy. Police are saying that the murders were a part of some sort of domestic disturbance and Hudson&amp;#039;s brother-in-law and Julian&amp;#039;s step-father, William Balfour, is the suspect in custody. He is currently on parole after serving a 6 and a half year jail sentence for possession of a stolen vehicle. For more info go to news.yahoo.com.  This is news is just so shocking. There are no words that could ever describe what this family must be going through. In light of this tragedy, I will not report on any other celeb gossip today but just send as much love as possible to Jennifer and her family.
