Jennifer Hudson Calls Off Engagement
According to Star Magazine, Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson has called off her engagement to wrestler David “Punk” Otunga. Who didn’t see that one coming?
He loved her when she was thick but, due to her low self esteem, Jennifer couldn’t love herself enough to lose weight in moderation, through dieting and exercise. Instead, she chose to lose weight drastically through gastric bypass surgery (allegedly), and now she’s lost her man.
From Star Magazine:
After a three-year engagement, Jennifer Hudson has abandoned plans to walk down the aisle.
The American Idol alum, 30, and WWE star David Otunga – who have a 2-year-old son, David jr. – are on the outs, clashing over Jennifer’s career obsession, commitment issues and reluctance to have more children.
“They were going to tie the knot in August in Jennifer’s hometown of Chicago… but it’s not going to happen,” an insider reveals.

Tamar Braxton doesn’t care what you think
Tamar Braxton is the undisputed star of “The Braxtons: Family Matters” reality show. With her quirky antics and catchy phrases, Tamar has even managed to upstage her superstar sister, Toni Braxton.
Tamar is never timid when it comes to speaking her mind. And when it comes to readers trashing her family on gossip blogs, Tamar does not bite her tongue.
“Sometimes I agree that it’s a hot mess. And sometime I feel like some of the negative things are definitely unwarranted. It’s a little harsh, but this is the business. We didn’t start this reality show saying ‘We want to start a reality show to be famous.’ No. So at first it was really, really difficult for me to watch. [...] But now, we’re kind of more used to it and it’s just whatever. You can’t really please anyone but yourself and God.” Source
Please note: The Ustream session with Tamar’s sisters, Trina and Towanda, originally schedule for Wednes, Oct. 26, is being rescheduled due to family obligations. We will let you know the new date soon.

Celeb Style: Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union
Don’t you just LOVE Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union together? Gabby always looks so lovely! But it bothers me when a man has terrible taste in fashion, and his girl allows him to leave the house looking crazy. You owe it to your man to always have his back despite what the stylist says.
According to Upscalehype.com:
NBA Star Dwyane Wade attend the 2011 Rodeo Drive Walk of Style Award Ceremony with his girlfriend actress Gabrielle Union wearing a dark gray suit with a matching scarf and a pair of Air Jordan 3 black/cement Sneakers. As for Gabrielle, she wore a Missoni dress.
Beyonce Baby Bump Watch 2011
Beyonce Knowles, 30, was spotted entering that same office building in New York that she visits daily. We know her career is sort of on the downswing. So does she have a job?
Speaking of jobs, word has reached our ears that Beyonce’s husband, Jay Z, gave Bey’s bodyguard, Julius, a stern talking to the other day. The tongue lashing had something to do with the way he — Julius — performs his duties.
Actually, we thought Julius performed his duties a little too well. He’s always hands on and getting in the way of the paparazzi. So what could be the problem?
Our source wouldn’t be more specific because only a few people in that camp are privy to such confidential information. We’ll update you if we hear more.

19-year-old prostitute charged with killing a john for kissing her
A 19-year-old Milwaukee prostitute has been arrested and charged with strangling a client with his suspenders for trying to kiss her.
According to jsonline.com, Precious Dupriest, 19, was working a street corner on Sunday, Oct. 16, when she was picked up by 63-year-old Billy J. Murray in his silver Cadillac. He asked her if she wanted to “get high and have fun,” explaining that “fun” meant sex acts.
The two were seen on surveillance video entering a room at the Village Inn on Wisconsin Avenue. According to Dupriest, they smoked a piece of $40 crack cocaine together, then Murray tried to kiss her. She told him no because ‘that’s disgusting,’ according to the criminal complaint.
Dupriest and Murray tussled on the bed and ended up on the floor of the motel room. She said she reached for his red suspenders and began to strangle him. After Murray passed out, Dupriest kept on choking him until she was sure he was dead. “She could not stop strangling him because if he woke up then she could end up in trouble,” the complaint said.
