It’s very nice that Jennifer Hudson has something to smile about.
The Oscar winner, whose personal life has tragically overshadowed her professional accomplishments in recent weeks, said Thursday that she’s “honored” to be among the nominees for the 51st Annual Grammy Awards.
“It’s been a childhood dream of mine to release an album, so to receive four Grammy nominations is truly a blessing. I’m extremely honored and humbled by the nominations,” Hudson said in a statement released by Arista Records.
The 27-year-old singer-actress’ self-titled debut is a contender for R&B Album of the Year, while the tune “Spotlight” has her in the running for Best R&B Song and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. Hudson also shares a nomination for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals for her duet with Fantasia on “I’m His Only Woman.”

Beverly Hills police are searching for two “persons of interest” – a man and a woman – in the shooting of Scott Ruffalo, the hairstylist brother of actor Mark Ruffalo.
The pair, identified as Brian Scofield and Shaha Mishaal Adham (photos below), are both wanted for questioning in the attempted murder, police announced Thursday.
Shortly after 1 a.m. Monday, Beverly Hills police responded to assist a person who fell on North Palm Drive, outside the condo where Scott Ruffalo lived.
Officers discovered that the victim, Ruffalo, 39, had been shot in the head.
According to sources, Ruffalo is in very serious condition at a Los Angeles hospital, where he has been regularly visited by his brother Mark.
Anyone with information about either Scofield or Adham is asked to call Beverly Hills police at 310-288-2656


Heidi Montag is speaking out for the first time since marrying Spencer Pratt in Mexico on Nov. 24.
Her eloping has shocked many, including her mother, Darlene Egelhoff, who tells the new issue Us Weekly that Spencer may have drugged her daughter to get her to marry him.
“I want to make it very clear to family, friends and fans that the decision to marry Spencer was very much mine. It was a beautiful day, and I’ve never been happier,” Heidi tells Usmagazine.com exclusively. “For someone who wasn’t even there to suggest otherwise is extremely disappointing.”
Her mother tells Us she gives the marriage six months, but Heidi says, “I look forward to everyone seeing the footage of our time in Mexico on The Hills, so they can see for themselves what a joyous occasion it was.”
And what about questions of the foreign union’s legality? Pratt says he’s heading to the courthouse.
“I’m on it. In my mind, it’s as legal as the ring on my finger,” he tells the new issue of Us Weekly. “But I wouldn’t want everyone going around saying, ‘It’s not real.’”
