Tragedy Strikes Jennifer Hudson’s Family

Published by emil629 under Jennifer Hudson Edit This

jennifer_hudson_1003462.jpg

Horrible reports this weekend confirmed the murders of Jennifer Hudson’s mother and brother in their Chicago home. Her mother, Darnell Donerson was 57 and her brother, Jason Hudson was 29. Jennifer’s 7 year old nephew was missing. Police and FBI were working around the clock to find the little boy and Ms. Hudson had even offered a $100,000 reward to bring her nephew home.

Unfortunately announced today, the police have confirmed that the body of a boy found in an SUV is Jennifer’s nephew.  Julian King was described as a happy go lucky kid. He enjoyed spending time with his grandmother. Hudson often returned to Chicago to visit her family and was said to be very close to her mother. Their family has dealt with many hard blows since the begining of last weekend and my prayer among many others are with them.

Celebrity Rehab with Dr Drew 2: Recap SPOILERS

cr1-title-close.png

 Last night I watched a early premier for Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew’s 2nd season. I have to say it was very interesting. Celebrity Rehab will premier Thursday, October 23, 2008 at 10pm on VH1. NOTICE: The remainder of this post does have spoilers!

The first one to arrive is Gary Bussey. This guy is crazy. He is supposed to be on the show to strengthen his sobriety (like Daniel Baldwin last season) and share experiences with other people. BUT also to learn from them. He believes he is one of the staff and cannot understand he’s a patient. It’s pretty comical throughout the show even the other patients are laughing at this and he ends up telling Dr. Drew that if he has to be a patient he can’t do the show. Never-mind the fact that he still smokes pot!

Amber Smith was a supermodel in the 90’s and she got hooked on pills. She has been using for 16 years, very low key, because she says in the 90’s it was not cool for a super model to be a drug addict. She uses with her mom and has a great dependency on this relationship. Hers will be a hard struggle, but she seems nice and I hope she makes it.

It surprised me that Steven Adler was going to be on the show and also that he’s still alive actually. Most people will remember Steven Adler as the original drummer for band Guns-n-Roses. Alder, was kicked out of the band in the early 90’s as a result of his drug addiction. He also had a stroke in 1996 the result from a powerful speed-ball (heroine and cocaine) He came to the Pasadena Recovery Center from 9 days of hospital detox and was in very bad shape. He lives in the past and is still extremely mad at Slash for hiring another drummer.

Sean Stewart is the son of 80’s singer Rod Stewart and known in Hollywood as a bad boy. He was on reality TV show, Sons of Hollywood, and has been in and out of treatment centers 9 or 10 times for his drug addiction. To me he doesn’t seem very serious about kicking his habit. He’s still young and a don’t believe grasps the danger of the things he does. He blamed relapses on hanging out with his friends so apparently he’s not strong enough to find other friends. We’ll see what happens and I do wish him the best.

Twany Kitaen, best known for starring in the movie Bachelor Party with Tom Hanks, is also joining the cast. She has been clean from coke use for 2 years, but is still on sleeping pills that are addictive. She seems like a strong person and I hope she gets past this.

Nikki McKibben, former American Idol finalist, is one I feel sorry for. She has a severe alcohol addiction. She also is a coke addict and has a past history of physical and sexual abuse. To top it all off she did coke with her mom one night and then her mother went home and took her normal medication and died. I think she blames herself for this and is going to have a long road to travel.

Rodney King has had a hard life. I really felt for him. Historical figure Rodney King became known to the public after LA police bruitaly beat him on camera. The police who beat him were aquitted and thus began mass riots throughout LA. Now years later Mr. King is a severe alcohol who claims if you aren’t drunk by 10 am you are not human. He doesn’t really mention the tragic event, however, I believe this is a man with a lot of hurt inside and he’s drinking it all away. I hope Dr Drew can help him so he can lead a better life.

Our favorite couple is back! Jeff Conway is back in rehab after numerous back surgery and pain pills is ready to get clean. I really hope he does it this time, compared to last season he looks great. Also, his live in girlfriend Vicki has enlisted Dr. Drew’s help to kick her habit because they got into a fight and she attacked Jeff kicking him numerous time in the back while they were high on coke. Dr. Drew has offered Vicki help but to her dismay she will not be with Jeff they have to be separated while in rehab. Good choice Dr. Drew!

This seems to be the start of an interesting season and I can’t wait to see more!

Charm School 2 Rock of Love: Episode 1 Premier Recap

megan-brandi-charm-school-03.jpg

What a way to start off the season! When the girls first arrive, they are standing outside the bus waiting to greet their host, when a limo pulls up. Who steps out of the limo? Not Sharon Osbourne, but Lacey! What a spoiled brat!

Sharon Osbourne comes out of the house and tells the girls that there is a bed upstairs assigned to each of them. Of course they room the people who hate eachother together. Will there be enough room for Lacey and Dallas to share the same bunk? Will Heather strangle Megan and Brandi C.?  My guess is it will be a wild ride!

They meet downstairs and of course start drinking. Brandy M. is being very sneaky making all of the girls drinks and only sneaking water herself! She’s a little more conniving than I thought. It doesn’t take long though, as soon as Dallas walks outside Lacey grabs her butt and a fight breaks out. Dallas hits Lacey in the head with an apple and makes herself look like the bad guy.

Courtney once again drinks too much and falls off her chair! What’s with this girls really? Looks like she will miss yet another elimination. Raven tries to befriend Dallas since she is the only other black girl in the house. Raven makes herself look horrible! She thinks she is better than everyone and smarter than everyone. She even goes as far as to tell Jessica, who works for NASA, that she doesn’t have much going on upstairs! This sets off yet another argument. I mean really why did Raven even show up? Not only did she not want to be there, she didn’t even make it long on Rock of Love to begin with.

Sharon calls all of the girls in the house to enroll them officially in Charm School. They show small clips of the girl’s most outrageous behavior and the girls are to then shred the DVD. Courtney can’t even walk and Sharon has Destiny and Jessica help her to bed and sleep it off. Flashbacks anyone?

Later, they are told they will have their first elimination. Who will go home. The girls go upstairs and put on their Charm School uniforms and poor drunk Courtney is still passed out! However, she does pull herself together enough to make it down to the elimination so she’s already starting off better than she did on Rock of Love 2! In thebeginning of  the elimination ceremony Raven tells the truth. Or what she thinks is the truth. She’s too good to be there and way too smart. She’s the biggestnarcissist I have ever seen!

Raven left the show, but she made the choice to leave so guess what? There’s still one more to go. Lacey, Dallas, and Courtney are called to the chopping block. They explain it is for Lacey and Dallas fighting and of course Courtney’s drinking. In the end Sharon decides that Courtney doesn’t belong in Charm School, however, they will be sending her to rehab! Good choice Sharon that chick needs it!

Will Sharon be able to whip these hard core girls into shape? Will Brandi C. realize her pink hair looks like shit? How long will it take for Kristy Joe to cry? Who will be kicked off next and who will come out of Charm School alive! Stay tuned to find out!

The new boss Griffin puts Nico on the line when he tells her to write an apology editorial to a group she offended in an ad.

Nico confesses to Kirby she’s nervous because she doen’t know where things are going and he’s ok with it. She decides they will go to dinner at a very public place.

Wendy is floored when she finds out her friend Noah has died on set and when a worker finds pills in his trailer they know he was on chemo. Griffin talks to Sal about forging the insurance papers and then tells Wendy he is going to sue Noah’s family for the money it has cost the company. Wendy feels guilty since she was the one who signed the form and admits it to Griffin who then fires her.

Lipstick Jungle: Season 2 Episode 2 Recap

Published by emil629 under Lipstick Jungle Edit This

lipstickmain.jpeg

Nico mourns Charles. Wendy calls and asks her what they are having for lunch and if she can come to dinner. Nico declines saying she’s been spending way too much time with Wendy. When Nico is making soup for herself, Kirby stops by. He said he just couldn’t stay away. He comes in and they finish making soup.

Wendy is determined to help an old actor friend. Her friend that is starring in her upcoming movie hasn’t been showing up. She assumes he’s on drug and meets with him. She tells him they will push production 2 months and he needs to get into rehab. He tells her to just get another actor he can’t do the movie. Later, his wife visits Wendy at work and tells her that he is dying and he really wants to make this film. Wendy puts her job on the line when she fakes his physical and tells her assistant they begin filming right away. Unfortunately, she has to tell her assistant the truth when he questions the actor’s physical report.

Victory is confused about what has been going on with her assistant. She tells Nico that she knew he had a relationship with some named Chris, but she couldn’t figure out if Chris was a guy or a girl! Her assistant makes her an appointment and confuses the address, but lucky for Victory she meets her knew contractor Rodrigo. She flirts with him a lot (who wouldn’t!) and hires him to be the contractor for her business. Joe Bennett is jealous when he sees the interactions between the two.

Kirby takes Nico to a club and it turns out to be “swap night” This means when the gong sounds that you must swap clothes with complete strangers. Nico says she wants to stay and they have a great time acting like complete idiots in the club.

Megan visits Nico wanting money. She says she deserves to be kept the way Charles would have if he was alive. Angered Nico calls her lawyer and asks Megan to leave.

Victory is obsessed with Rodrigo and decided to watch the footage from her shop’s security cameras to catch glimpses of him. When she does she sees her assistant half naked and washing his hair in a bucket. He tells her that Chris took all of his money and ran. Now he’s been evicted from his apartment. Victory offers for him to live in the top floor of her building and is very relieved to finally discover that Chris is indeed a man!

Gossip Girl Season 2 Episode 3 Recap: The Dark Night

Published by emil629 under Gossip Girl Edit This

gossip-girl-web.jpeg 

Things heat up in during a New York blackout on the most recent episode of Gossip Girl.  This seems to be the week of the undeniable passion and the profession of love between the cast members.Blair is finally willing to admit that her Mr. Prince Charming isn’t all that he is cut out to be.  She tries to come on to him, when she is quickly shot down.  Although he is perfect in every other area, the fact that he hasn’t tried to come on to her is nagging.  Meanwhile, Chuck is entertaining a different woman every night; he even goes to lengths to bring in a
Tokyo whore. However, we soon discover he’s still in love with Blair. (Duh!)
Meanwhile, Dan and Serena continue about their business as if no one is going to notice that they are back together.  Unable to maturely discuss their problems, they choose to ignore the past and forge ahead thinking that the physical relationship will solve everything.  It is quite unfortunate when a random girl catches a picture of the two of them making out and immediately alerts Gossip Girl.  Although, perhaps the strangest part of the episode is when Dan’s Dad shows his enthusiasm regarding their reunion…. He reads Gossip Girl????

The Duchess catches Nate and Vanessa kissing and calls her only ally Blair. Blair agrees to have Vanessa and Nate meet her so she can invite them to one of her parties. Knowing the he needs money for his family and the support the Duchess is willing to provide in exchange for favors, Nate ditches Vanessa and attends the party alone.

The lights go out on Blair’s party and Chuck takes this opportunity to hit on Blair. Vanessa catches Nate and the Duchess holding hands and confronts them. Serena and Dan are trapped in an elevator together.

The lights come back on and Marcus walks in on Blair kissing Chuck. He walks out of the room and Blair goes after him and tries to convince him she thought she was kissing him. (Yeah right!) All in all this was an interesting episode all around. Who knows who will wind up with who by the time this season is over. What do you think?

Mahone says “yeah I know” and Self asks to speak to him outside. After tells Mahone he had no choice to leave him in jail, the conversation turns to Wyatt. Mahone tells Self to stop running and track down Wyatt himself.

The secretary from “Cole Pfieffer’s” office calls and says she knows where T-bag is and Michael decides the crew qill split up. Lincoln, Sara, Sucre, and Roland are off to Vegas to take care of Scylla. Michael, Mahone, and Bellick will stay and deal with the girl.

Bellick says the girl wants more money and Michael needs to come talk to her. When they walk out Mahone notices something strange and tells Michael to hold on. T-bag comes out with a gun. He forces the girl to try Scofield and Mahone up then orders them all in the van. Mahone jumps over the ledge and escapes, but the rest are captured.

They find the cardholder and Sara pretends she’s with a bachlorette party that is doing a sacvenger hunt. She tells him that she needs to get a picture in a whale’s suite. After he declines her, the bartender tells her not to worry she’s not his type, he had hit on him earlier!

Mahone gets ahold of Self and gets the tracker so he can find out where Michael is. T-bag is angry Michael is taking so long to deciper the book. While he is threating to shoot the girl, Gretchen peeks around the corner and notices Bellick’s ankle band. She tells T-bag the feds could be there any minute, so they cut the bands off of them and leave. Not without Michael leaving a clue behind for Mahone though.

After everything is downloaded he takes the device to Roland. After Sucre, walks away security walks up. They ask Roland what he was doing there when he was banned and take the device! Lincoln is angry because Roland had told them before it would take months to make a new device.

Prison Break Epsiode Recap Season 4 Episode 6 “Blow Out”

Published by emil629 under Prison Break Edit This

406_blowout_racetrack5thumbnail.jpg

Bellick causes a disturbance at a betting window of a racetrack to distract security. This allows Michael and Mahone to sneak into the operations manager’s office and tape the device to the man’s desk. Roland picks up the signal. Cardholder four is Nathaneal Edison, who has bet on a horse named SparkleKid. Lincoln does something to cause SparkleKid to get a late start from the gate. Edison is furious and goes to speak to the operations manager. With the card near the desk, Roland pulls all of the information off Edison’s device.
Mahone goes to retrieve the device, but he is trapped by the guards and taken to the police station. The cops put the device in his personal effects bag. Lincoln calls Agent Self for help. Self notices a strange IT guy fixing his computer without notifying him.

A battered and bloody Gretchen arrives at her sister Rita’s house. She takes a statue that she gave Rita and smashes it. There’s a gun inside. What appears to be Rita’s daughter is really Gretchen’s. Gretchen kisses the girl and leaves.

T-Bag studies the Bird Book for clues in his office at Gate. His co-worker calls him out on his sales reports and accuses him of fraud. Knowing he might be found out, T-Bag runs out of the office.

Wyatt briefs Pad Man about Agent Self. The IT guy from Self’s office comes in and explains that he could not break the firewall on Self’s computer.

Self cannot get Mahone out of prison, but he has him sign for his personal effects to get the device out of holding. Mahone is furious. Back at the warehouse, the team is divided on what will happen to Mahone. They could all be caught. Michael insists that they stay on course.

Wyatt accosts Self about his investigation on General Krantz. Self refuses to tell Wyatt anything. “The General,” Wyatt threatens, “He likes his privacy.” Yet Wyatt sees the parking pass on Self’s dashboard of the municipal lot where Self met Michael.

Self suggests to Michael that he eliminate Mahone to rid a potential problem. Meanwhile, the policeman at the jail offers Mahone a deal if he trades the name of his accomplice at the racetrack. Mahone considers turning in Michael, but says nothing.

The team considers breaking Mahone out of prison, but Michael knows that is too dangerous.

Gretchen goes to a morgue claiming to be Whistler’s widow. The orderly asks for documentation, so she knocks the guy out and grabs Whistler’s cell phone from his belongings. She plays back a message from an apartment rental company.

Wyatt shows up at the police station and sees Mahone in the cell. Wyatt asks the desk clerk which courthouse he is being transferred to for arraignment. Mahone calls Michael to warn him and to explain that he won’t squeal. Mahone makes Michael promise to kill Wyatt. Michael now knows he must change plans.

Michael and Lincoln are at an electrical transformer behind the courthouse. Inside, Mahone enters court. Sucre is there. So is Wyatt. Sara goes to the defense table pretending to be Mahone’s lawyer and takes his paperwork. Sucre calls the guys outside and gives them the OK to go. Suddenly, the overhead lamps explode and the power goes out in the court. Sucre slips out with Mahone, and Wyatt chases them. Sara escapes with Mahone’s arraignment file. Wyatt is about to shoot Mahone when police arrive on the scene.

Back at the warehouse, Mahone thanks the team. Sara gives him his fingerprint sheet. He cannot be traced.

Mahone goes outside and dials the number on the red slip of paper. It is Wyatt. Mahone threatens to take revenge. He hangs up and throws out the red paper. Roland sees this and grabs the paper.

While T-Bag tries to flee his apartment, Gretchen pulls a gun on him. “Who the hell are you?” she asks.
