wow. this doesn't even feel real. it feels like some primetime tv show.
Jennifer Hudson's - of American Idol and DreamGirls and Sex and the City Fame - mother and brother were shot at their home in Chicago. They both didn't make it. and to make matters even sadder, her 7-year-old nephew Julian King has been missing since Friday.
Julian's stepfather,William Balfour, was arrested by the police. He has a history of criminal history, including doing time for 7 years for attempted murder. Some think that he has taken the boy. His family believes otherwise and now Jennifer is offering a $100,000 reward for Julian's safe return.
Her rep issued this statement:
Jennifer and her family appreciate
the enormous amount of love, support and prayers they have received
while she and her family try to cope with this tragedy and continue the
search for Julian. We ask that all inquiries be directed to the Chicago
Police Department, Area 1 Detective Division at 312/747-8380.
I was just watching the Today show and supposedly they just found the body of a young black boy in a white SUV.
FUCKERS.
They think - and this is even more awful - that they just found his body - http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,444192,00.html.

I am in Chicago right now and this is everywhere. They found the little boy's body in the white SUV. He was shot in the head. So, so tragic. Here you are thinking this girl has it all and then this happens. Tragic.
