Making progress in the tragic murders of Jennifer Hudson’s family members, William Balfour has been arrested on charges stemming from the October 24th shooting deaths of Jennifer’s mother, brother and young nephew.
According to breaking reports, Balfour, who is the estranged husband of Hudson’s sister, Julia, has been incarcerated at an Illinois correctional facility for violating terms of his parole stemming from a 1999 conviction for attempted murder.
Now that he’s been named as the defendant in the Hudson family murders, the 27-year-old has been transferred to Chicago police custody after being served a warrant for his arrest. After being transported to the Wentworth Area, Balfour will now be held until official charges are approved by the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office.
As for Miss Hudson, Vogue editor Andre Leon Talley told Us magazine, “She is doing very, very well. She’s very strong. I think that she has such strength. There’s so much strength within her that she’s going to be okay. The message that she sent to me is that she appreciates all the messages of love that come from all the fans.”
While she may be best known for her “Harry Potter” films, Emma Watson would rather be known for something else - her mind.
The British babe has been gearing up to go back to school as of late, and it seems she has her eye on several schools, such as Harvard and Yale, in the prestigious Ivy League.
A student at Yale (located in New Haven) reported that Miss Watson’s visit had quite the effect on the student body, causing a bit of stir.
“Everyone just got out their phones and started calling people. There was kind of a … little buzz around, everyone was like, ‘Oh my God, it’s Emma Watson,’ but no one went up to her.”
Doing her part to help make the world a better place, Angelina Jolie was out speaking during a symposium on international law and justice at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York City on Friday (October 17).
During the course of her busy day, Miss Jolie has also announced that she’s “teaming up with Microsoft Corp., law firms and corporate law departments to create a legal system for children of parents involved in U.S. immigration proceedings.”
Of the new initiative, AP reports tell that “The Kids in Need of Defense (KIND) will provide pro bono legal defense for unaccompanied children.”
Explaining that the U.S. provides no legal help for the children of parents entangled in immigration court proceedings, Angelina tells, “These children often have nothing; no money, no support and no family, yet they come to America seeking its promises of a better life. But many end up becoming lost, traumatized, and ultimately forgotten.”
She was one of the longest-reigning queens of prime time television, playing the role of Rachel Green on “Friends.” And it sounds like Jennifer Aniston is returning to the small screen this fall season.
According to her rep, Steven Huvane, the “Rumor Has It” actress will be guest starring on NBC’s hit comedy “30 Rock.” He told press, “She is shooting now. We are not giving out any specifics on her character.
The “Good Girl” actress is no stranger to guest spots on tv series, as she’s appeared on both “Dirt” and “South Park” in the past.
And now that she’s single again (Jen and John Mayer split earlier this month) it looks like Miss Aniston will have even more time to concentrate on her acting career.

Pop princess Miley Cyrus is continuing to speak out about her infamous Vanity Fair photo shoot.
She called the shots “a mistake” during an interview on ABC’s Good Morning America on Tuesday - talking of all the criticism that she received after the issue hit the stands (which reportedly sold an impressive 435,000 newsstand copies) and describes it as a “hard time” saying that she now “knows what it’s like to have people talk about you like you’re kind of iron.”
“I think I was just in a stage where I was just trying to get things done, and maybe look for an older audience,” the 15-year-old Hannah Montana star said. “I was working with a big magazine just trying to go with what they were saying. People need to remember that I am young and that I do have feelings, and I’ll do the same thing for them,” Cyrus added. “Anyone who was 15 years old can’t say they haven’t made a mistake. So I think it’s just normal.”
Cyrus who’s new album Breakout drops today (Tuesday) says that she doesn’t know if she could go back to a “normal life.” “I think it would be too hard,” she added. “It’s weird because I feel very normal… but then sometimes I want to go to the mall… and I’m thinking I’m totally gonna be fine and be able to shop around, it’s not like it is for a normal teenager”
Since the dramatic incident Cyrus says that she has learned to “stay true to herself” saying “I think it makes me more relatable to my fans.
