Yes, that really is Jennifer Hudson.
Wow!!!!
This has definitely been her year. The former American Idol alum won an Oscar for her role in Dreamgirls and she rung in 2008 at the Setai Hotel in Miami Beach.
Next year promises to be just as good for Hudson. The entertainer is returning to her singing roots by releasing her debut album.

New Year’s Eve Memories
January 1st, 2008
Celebrating New Year's Eve on MTV - for the second year in a row - was truly truly special, especially because we got to share it with some of our best friends and all you Perezcious peeps that watched!
Our night's mission was to meet Hayley from Paramore to express our love and congratulate her on an amazing year.
Missing accomplished!
Hayley is just so tiny. Little girl. BIG personality. We love her!
And look at how wide she can open her mouth!
Look, it's Dani, the true breakout star from MTV's A Shot At Love!
We could be sisters!
Seriously, Perez is a secret lesbian deep down inside.
P-Nasty with Damien Fahey and new TRL VJ Lindsey Rodriguez at our after-party at the Gansevoort Hotel.
Kinda crazy to think that Damien and P-Nasty were the only two people on the show last year and this year too.
We had sooooo much fun all night long!
2008 is gonna be even better. Trust.
We're taking it to another level!
xoxo

Quote Of The Day
January 1st, 2008
"I've had a lot of offers from people to do my own maternity range but I don't think it is the right message to send to young Britain. I'm not the best example. I'm pregnant and a bit young, aren't I? My demographic is generally young girls, so I don't think a maternity line is suitable. It isn't the best impression to give them."

Is Impotence Daniel Plainview’s Problem?

A number of people who've seen There Will Be Blood have commented on the fact that women don't seem to figure into lead character Daniel Plainview's life at all. As one commenter on David Poland's blog recently put it, "There's never a single woman in sight of him. Not when he becomes successful. Not even when he's older. Not even whores. There's no explicit point of this made, so much as it's just de facto." This is part of the commenter's argument that Plainview is a repressed homosexual. Another commenter pegs Plainview as simply a-sexual, noting that "his only love and appetite was for more money as a means to an end." But is that really what's going on? I recently sat down and read the script for There Will Be Blood and noticed something that I don't remember being included at all in the film. Since it's only one line I could have just missed it, but I don't think I did, and if I'm right it might go a long way towards explaining things.
On page 80 of the script, Daniel and Henry (a drifter who may be his brother) are sitting in a mess hall drinking and talking and Daniel tells Henry that H.W., who he's been passing off as his son, is "not even my son." "What do you mean?" Henry asks. At this point, the script says that 'Daniel begins to break down, holds his crotch' and then says to Henry "He's not my son. My c**k doesn't even work. How am I gonna make a kid? Does yours work Henry?" So that kind of sheds a new light on things, doesn't it? His half-hearted attempts at finding male companions -- his adopted son and Henry, in addition to his manservant -- are his only option, really.

DVD Review: Oswald’s Ghost
December 31st, 2007Oswald?s action has repercussions that reverberate today.
Written by Fumo VerdeJFK was assassinated over forty years ago and still the conspiracy stirs like a watered-down vodka tonic. In late November of 1963 the question on everybody’s lips was “How could someone as inconsequential as Oswald kill someone as consequential as John F. Kennedy?” This DVD doesn’t answer that question…
