11/14: Hudson thanks fans for support
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
On her MySpace page, Jennifer Hudson thanked her fans during this trying time, according to the Associated Press.:
“I want to thank each and every one of you for your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time,” the 27-year-old Oscar-winning actress and singer said in a posting on her MySpace page Thursday evening. “My sister and I take great comfort and strength from your love and concern.”
Nobody has been charged with the murders of her nephew, brother and mother but William Alfour, estranged husband of Jennifer’s sister Julia, remains in custory as a person of interest.
Here’s the Gap ad she did before the murders:

-Paula Goodspeed changed her name to Paula to be more like Paula Abdul before she died last week near Abdul’s home, according to People.com.
*Over the last three years - since Goodspeed was dismissed from her disastrous Idol audition with derisive comments from judges Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson - Abdul has received more than 100 letters, numerous phone calls and uninvited visits from Goodspeed, the source says. *
-OK magazine claims Paula Abdul will leave the show after this season. I’ll only believe it when it actually happens.
-Josh Gracin and his wife Ann Marie had their fourth child this week, daughter Isabella.
