Jennifer Hudson's Mother & Brother murdered

Wow...what the fuck???

From MTV News:

Jennifer Hudson's mother and brother died of fatal gunshot wounds Friday, police have confirmed to MTV News.

A Chicago police representative said the singer's mother, Darnell Hudson Donerson, and older brother, Jason, were killed. Donerson was 57 years old; Jason was 29.

Officers received a call shortly before 3 p.m. Friday (October 24), the representative said, and upon arriving at the residence, 7019 South Yale Avenue, found the two victims. The incident has been declared a double homicide; police emphasized that this may be a domestic situation.

Julian King, Hudson's young nephew, who had been living at the residence, has been reported missing. Chicago police confirmed to MTV News that the child may be in the company of identified suspect William Balfour, an African-American male in his late 20s, who is considered armed and dangerous. King may be wearing khaki pants and a tan polo shirt with the number 5 on it, according to ABC News; the Chicago Tribune reported that he is 5 feet tall, weighs 135 pounds and has brown eyes and black hair.

Balfour had been living at the residence, police said, and may have had a romantic relationship with Hudson's sister Julia, as vehicles are co-registered to both of them. Police said Balfour is believed to be driving either a white Chevrolet Suburban, 1994 model, with the license plate X584859, or a green Chrysler Concord, with the license plate 332K823.

Area 2 Deputy Chief Joseph Patterson told ABC news that neighbors reported hearing shots between 8 and 9 a.m. Friday. Patterson said a family member found the body of Donerson in the living room Friday afternoon and left the house to call police. When authorities arrived, they found Jason Hudson in a bedroom. Patterson said there was no sign of forced entry.

According to public records, the home is owned by Hudson's mother, but both Jennifer and Jason have been listed as residents for the second apartment.

The Tribune reported that Hudson is not injured, according to her bodyguard. ABC News reported that Hudson was traveling to Chicago from Tampa, Florida.

Is is just sad. My prayers go out to her.

Damn, Lyfe

Apparently your boy got nabbed by the Smyrna, GA police department after busting off a shot, and taking off for a high speed chase with the police in his Corvette before refusing a DUI test.

From TMZ:

Smyrna, Ga. police tell us they were responding to a gunshots fired call when they spotted Jennings' Vette hightailing it away from the scene. A chase ensued and Jennings eventually crashed. He was charged with felony weapon possession by a convicted felon and he faces charges of attempting to elude, as well as discharging a firearm near a public highway and refusing to take the sobriety test.

All the liquor in the world....

Diddy Blog # 27: McCain Scares Diddy More Than Palin

Meh, i didn't think the whole "that one" comment was because Obama was black so much that McCain was pissed he was owning him in that debate so hard.

I kind of feel sorry for McCain, he's not an idiot like Bush, he's just this stiff old Republican who blinks alot and is probably starting to realize that it's not looking promising as far as winning this election goes.

KiD CuDi, Charles Hamilton & Ace Hood XXL Freestyles [Video]

A little something XXL did for their upcoming Top Of The Class issue was have each of the ten MCs featured in the issue do a quick freestyle. Their faces are covered because you're suppose to guess who is who, but that's kind of pointless when the page of the video you're watching it on tell you in big bold letters...
