Witnesses say that her nephew may have been taken from the scene. An APB has been issued for the SUV.

How sad, especially since she just got engaged and all. :(

Oh my goodness. That's terrible! :eek:

ETA: According to the Yahoo article, her father passed away when she was a teenager. I can't imagine losing both my parents so young.

How awful! Poor Jennifer. :(

That's such a heartbreaking situation -- and isn't her sister begging for her son's return right now? They have the shooter in custody, don't they? I hope they get out of him where the little boy is. Many prayers and good thoughts going their way...

next season on Dancing with the Stars!
 

It's sure to be a ratings-grabber! ;)

I cannot imagine losing (possibly) 3 close family members at one time. My prayers are with her.

Bad news...

they have found the body of what could be Jennifer Hudson's nephew on the West Side of Chicago

aww, damn.
I can't even imagine. My prayers go out to her.

Girls Next Door star Kendra is engaged.

Me too - I can't put my finger on it, but they're right up there with the Geico caveman commercials (which I also think are genius).

My brother got a "Best of the Best" DVD of The Electric Company for my nephew -- I forgot who was in that show - I remember Rita Moreno, but I forgot about Bill Cosby and Morgan Freeman. THE BEST is Morgan Freeman singing "Easy reader, that's my name, UHH UHH UHHH" all groovy-like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_PuAqRQLKA

It's so funny to see it again, it is soooooooooooooo 70s.

Did anyone watch Law & Order: SVU this week? It was especially creepy and disturbing...
