Jennifer Hudson is ready to talk about the brutal murders of her mother, brother and young nephew.

The singer will be featured in a VH1 Behind the Music special on Monday and the network touts that “for the very first time, Jennifer talks candidly about overcoming [that] painful time in her life.”

The American Idol contestant turned Grammy and Oscar winning superstar’s went through a nightmare when, in October 2008, she learned that her mother, Darnell Donerson, and brother, Jason Hudson, were shot to death in the family’s Chicago home, where Jennifer herself grew up. Elevating it to another level, her 7-year-old nephew, Julian King, had been kidnapped by the gunman. Sadly, three days later Julian’s lifeless body was discovered discarded in a parked car.

Jennifer herself had to go to the morgue to identify young boy’s body.

Adding to the heartbreak, the man charged with the brutal murders was the estranged husband of Jennifer’s own sister Julia Hudson, who was Julian’s mother. He’s currently in prison.

The Dreamgirls star has made an unbelievable recovery, becoming engaged to beau David Otunga and welcoming son, David Jr., last August.

Angelina Jolie opened up to Vanity Fair in it’s newest issue. She talks about Brad, her kids and much much more. Vanity Fair caught up with Angelina as she was filming The Tourist in Venice with Johnny Depp. (I can’t wait to see more pictures from this issue!)

On whether or not she and Brad Pitt want more children:

We’re not opposed to it. But we want to make sure we can give everybody special time. They’re kids now, and can play together, but they’re going to need a lot more talking in the middle of the night, like I did with my mom for hours. We want to make sure we don’t build a family so big that we don’t have absolutely enough time to raise them each really well.

On marrying Brad Pitt:

Angelina isn’t “against getting married,” but “it’s just like we already are. Children are clearly a commitment, a bigger commitment [than marriage]. It’s for life.”

On acting:

It’s not the most important thing in my life. Acting helped me as I was growing up. It helped me learn about myself, helped me travel, helped me understand life, express myself, all those wonderful things. So I’m very, very grateful, it’s a fun job. It’s a luxury. Look, I’m at work today in the middle of Venice. But I don’t think I’ll do it much longer. Because I have a happy home….I got back from work last night, and everybody was playing music and dancing and I suddenly found myself dancing around with a bunch of little fun crazy people.

On her children:

Mad’s a real intellectual, which I can take no credit for genetically. He’s great at school, great at history. He feels like he could be a writer or travel the world and learn about places and things. Zahara’s got an extraordinary voice and is just so elegant and well spoken. Shiloh’s hysterically funny, one of the goofiest, most playful people you’ll ever meet. Knox and Viv are classic boy and girl. She’s really female. And he’s really a little dude.

Jolie says that when she was growing up she was most like her daughter Shiloh: “Goofy and verbal, the early signs of a performer…. I used to get dressed up in costumes and jump around. But at some point, I got closed off, darker. I don’t remember anything happening. I think you just get hit with the realities of certain things in life, think too much, start to realize the world isn’t as you wished it would be, so you deepen. Then, as I had kids and got older—being goofy, lighter—it all came back.”

On Brad’s beard:

I love Brad in every state.

On Brad with the kids:

I keep telling Brad he owes me. He’s had a few months off in one of the most beautiful cities in the world with the children. And he’s such an artist and goes to the stone yards and the art exhibits, and loves being in such a cultural place.

On a potential Mr. & Mrs. Smith sequel:

People have tried. And it’s strange: do we have kids in the movie? We’ve thought about that, but it becomes personal now that we actually have kids. And if we work on it, we pull from our own life, which is funny to us, but you feel strange sharing too much. We did ask somebody to look into Mr. & Mrs. to see if they could crack a sequel, but there wasn’t anything original. It was just, Well, they’re going to get married, or they’ve got kids, or they get separated. Never great.

On co-starring again with Brad:

I’d love to. We’ve talked about it. We’d have to figure out who’s going to watch the kids, but it’s really about finding the right thing, because we’ve looked. When you’re a couple, there are certain things people don’t want to see you do. It becomes too indulgent, too personal. I don’t think people want to see people who are really together intimate on-screen. Maybe we have to play bad guys that try to kill each other, so it’s just fun and aggressive, not dealing with some man-woman deal.

The August issue of Vanity Fair will be available on newsstands in New York and L.A. on Wednesday, June 30, and nationally and on the iPad on Tuesday, July 6.

She looks amazing!

According to RadarOnline, Mel Gibson’s ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva has secret evidence against Mel Gibson! Oksana reportedly stored the evidence on a DVD.

Immediately following this revelation, Gibson asked the court to seal her DVD evidence and got an order prohibiting her to make it public.

These new details come days after the pair each filed restraining orders against each other.

Gibson, 54, and Grigorieva, 40 have an eight-month-old daughter together. They split in April after being together a little over a year.

The Russian musician filed a restraining order against her ex-lover first, prohibiting him from coming within 100 yards of her.

According to reports, Gibson allegedly punched Oksana in the face two times during a fit of rage, which gave her a concussion. This incident allegedly happened on January 6th.

Believe it or not, no one in Gibson’s camp has denied the abuse…

I secretly love them as a couple. I really didn’t like Russell Brand much, but the more I see him, the more I like him. I haven’t seen Take Him to the Greek, was it any good? I heard it was pretty raunchy, but that it was really funny. What do you think?
