day 14

gossip's gossip

looks like the other day's gossip girl sighting has a little more meat on its bones.  the southern holidaying cast left the dallas-fort worth airport sunday, with chace taking an earlier flight than costars ed westwick and jessica szohr.  the twosome who was left behind seem to have gotten a little closer than their characters ever will.  ed and jessica were seen sneaking kisses and glances all over the airport...looks like we can finally put the chace/ed rumors to rest.  picture courtesy of justjared - head over to justjared.buzznet.com to get more deets on the story.

brandy's back...as beyonce?

long lost popstar brandy is back in a big way.  click here to check out her latest single, "long distance."  the song is the power ballad missing from beyonce's latest release...a very modern twist on a song that could have been big in the 90s.  however, will the song be big? brandy's been under big media scrutiny the past few years.  first there was the teenage pregnancy and now it's come out that ms. norwood faked her entire marriage - she released the false marriage statement as a way to protect her public image.  however, the image was more recently tarnished with the deadly la car accident from a couple years ago - the reason she was replaced with sharon osbourne as a judge on america's got talent. the former sitcom star drops her latest album, human, will be released a week from tuesday.  let's see if she can pull out some numbers or if human will be the last straw of her faltering career.

sad news is good news

jennifer hudson's brother in law, william balfour, was arrested monday for the shooting deaths of hudson's mother, brother, and nephew.  this takes balfour from being just a "person of interest" to prime suspect.  authorities decided to arrest william after his girlfriend testified in court that he was constantly around illegal substances and was in possession of a weapon matching the description of that used in the triple homicide.  the suspect's mother, however, sees the arrest as unnecessary, as there is no substantial evidence available. at least the police are on the right track and, hopefully, the hudson family will be able to recover from this.  hudson's debut album is currently on the shelves, but no new movies are to be released anytime soon starring the american idol contestant.
