Jennifer Hudson Performs “If This Isn’t Love” on Oprah Posted: 27 Feb 2009 11:05 PM PST Did you see Jennifer Hudson on Oprah yesterday? She looked amazing and I won't pretend that I didn't have tears in my eyes watching her talk about being happy to be back at work. It's only been a few short months since her mother, brother and nephew were murdered and I cannot believe how strong she is. Oprah didn't go into any details (thank goodness) but she did ask Jennifer how she's doing. She told O that she's "in a very good place" and that performing is "therapeutic." So far, 2009 is off to a good start for Jennifer – she has won a Grammy Award and she performed at Super Bowl XLIII. I sincerely hope that things continue along this positive track for her this year. She definitely deserves it. After the short interview, Jennifer sang "If This Isn't Love" from her debut CD. Watch the performance here: |
Brooke White to Debut Single on Tonight’s American Idol Results Show Posted: 27 Feb 2009 12:29 PM PST American Idol season 7 finalist, Brooke White, was on the results show last night where she debuted her new single "Hold Up My Heart" and I'm guessing viewers really liked it because it's already doing really well! On Twitter today, Brooke wrote the following: "GOOD MORNING!! MY SISTER JUST CALLED ME AND SAID "HOLD UP MY HEART" IS #4 ON THE ITUNES POP CHARTS AND #12 ON THE OVERALL CHARTS!! WOW!LOL!" It was closely followed by another tweet: "THANKS EVERYONE FOR HELPING ME MAKE THIS HAPPEN, WOW:)" How awesome is that!? If you'd like to get a copy of the single, head to iTunes. You can also follow Brooke on Twitter: (check out these other Idols on Twitter!). In the meantime, check out this video of Brooke performing the song last night: image: iTunes.com Tags: brooke white, hold up my heart |
Paula Abdul Says She is Now Pain Free Posted: 27 Feb 2009 12:20 PM PST American Idol judge, Paula Abdul, is free of the constant chronic pain that has plagued her for the last decade. The article that I read doesn't mention it but I'm pretty sure her pain issues began with a cheerleading accident when she was 17 and then the plane crash she survived didn't help. She has been diagnosed with reflex sympathetic dystrophy and complex regional pain syndrome and she had 14 surgeries to try to relieve her pain and discomfort but, finally, the 15th operation seems to be successful. She told OK magazine: "For the first time in 12 years, I am pain free. I had my 15th surgery to correct my back and neck problems last August and it worked. Finally! I had a new doctor who tried a new procedure and because of that I’m a new woman. I may have to have one more surgery in the spring but after all this, I can handle it." She adds: "Not only am I pain free, but I am pain-medication free. I weaned myself off everything I’d been taking." I sincerely hope that the surgery was a success and that she will be able to find some normalcy in her life. image: Newscom Tags: paula abdul medication, paula abdul pain, paula abdul pills |
