That's a touching tribute, and another example of how comfort can come from seemingly unlikely places. I hope the whole Hudson family knows that many around the world are wrapping their arms around them with love and condolence. So scary to think how your entire world can change in an instant… Give your family warmth, love and kindness today, and take pause to think of how your life would be without them. Big love to my family all over Australia on that note!

Peace,

I bet that he doenst even know her personally, but he was kind enough to, in his way, say that he cares.
Let's see what Beyoncè or Sarah Jessica Parker how indeed knows Jennifer are going to say/do.
It was a very sad thing and i am not sure that she will be able to get through this. I mean, i am sure that she will work again, she will smile again, but the pain it will always be there, inside.
i am very pissed off about all those things. Why the world has to be so unfair with people??

This was truly shocking to hear. Domestic violence they say was at the root of it. I pray that her and her family can make it through the pain and know they are not alone.

Coldplay are one of the nicest bands around !!! They did a tribute to Kylie Minogue when she was diagnosed with cancer a few years ago. They make great music and are a shining example of how to behave. I had the great pleasure of meeting a couple of them, and they were absolute sweethearts !! God bless Jennifer Hudson at this very difficult time. This incident is beyond words and I pray that Miss Hudson and the rest of the family are loved and cared for, so that they know that they aren't alone. May god protect them and may her mother, brother and nephew rest in peace !!!

Miley Cyrus Insists Alcohol Is 'Way More Dangerous' Than Weed! Shares Her New Priorities As An Adult & Artist!

Perhaps Amanda Bynes would have been better off giving Miley Cyrus her bong!

The We Can’t Stop singer interviewed with Rolling Stone magazine for their July 4th issue, and revealed her fairly liberal thoughts on drugs and alcohol.

Given her stoner reputation, we’re not totally surprised. Though, when asked to clarify her penchant for weed, she said:

"You can't ask someone that and expect them to say yes... I did a song with Snoop Dogg called 'Ashtrays and Heartbreaks,' so people can put it together for themselves."

That sounds fairly straightforward to us. Mileybird then went ahead to state that she thinks there are things much, much worse than a little bit of the green stuff:

"I think alcohol is way more dangerous than marijuana -- people can be mad at me for saying that, but I don't care... I've seen a lot of people spiral down with alcohol, but I've never seen that happen with weed."

She added:

"As long as it isn't illegal, there are far more dangerous things. And it's legal in the state of California. So I'm happy to live in California, a place where you can be whoever you want to be."

Well, Miley, marijuana isn’t exactly legal in California unless you have a prescription, so we’re not entirely sure what you mean. But, okay...

As for her transition from Disney teen idol to mature pop star, she said:
