A reunion of the Jackson 5 is not quite as easy as “ABC.”

Michael Jackson denied on Thursday that he would take part in a reunion of the famed Motown singing group, a day after elder brother Jermaine said the faded pop star was on board.

“My brothers and sisters have my full love and support, and we’ve certainly shared many great experiences, but at this time I have no plans to record or tour with them,” the self-proclaimed “king of pop” said a statement.

Jackson, 50, said he was in the studio working on “new and exciting projects.”

But Jermaine Jackson, 53, said in Australia on Wednesday that the clan was working on the music and logistics for a tour next year

Police official: Hudson nephew likely died in SUV

CHICAGO — Detectives believe the 7-year-old nephew of Jennifer Hudson was probably shot in the sport-utility vehicle where his body was later found, a police official said Thursday.

Officials think Julian King was alive when he left the house where his uncle and grandmother were killed last week, said the official, who was not authorized to discuss the case publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

The official would not elaborate on when detectives think the boy died.

17 year old rapper Soulja Boy just put his foot in his mouth. Here’s what went down during a recent interview with journalist Toure:

Then came Soulja Boy Tell Em. I asked him, “What historical figure do you most hate?” He was stumped. I said, “Others have said Hitler, bin Laden, the slave masters…” He said, “Oh wait! Hold up! Shout out to the slave masters! Without them we’d still be in Africa.”

My jaw, at this point, was on the ground. “We wouldn’t be here,” he continued, having no idea how far in it he’d stepped, “to get this ice and tattoos.”

Ok … let’s all agree that what Soulja Boy said was ignorant – whether he was joking or not. But the boy is only 17 years old.

T.I. was selected by NBC to remix their famous “Peacock” chime as part of their “Chime In” campaign. The 75-year-old theme for the network is also being remixed by B-52’s, B.B. King, Clint Black, Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora. In an attempt to make their commercial breaks more “entertaining” the new remixes will air at the top and bottom of the hour. In T.I. legal related news, T.I. is the star of a new TV documentary called “Walking With Guns.” Premièring yesterday in Atlanta, the hour-long film centers around T.I.’s conviction for attempting to buy machine guns and silencers. The documentary follows TIP as he visits hospitals, meets with victims of gang violence and his tour across the country telling the youth the danger of associating and possessing guns, all of which are part of his plea agreement. T.I. will serve a one-year sentence in federal prison in March of next year. In T.I. music related news, T.I. recently had a concert with Ludacris and B.o.B. During the show T.I. performed “On Top Of The World” with Luda and B.oB. The track appears on T.I.’s new album Paper Trail, which is in stores now.

I got some Young Jeezy album information for you guys. But I can’t decide if it’s good or bad news.

I got the SoundScan numbers late yesterday, and I’ve been noticing for a few weeks that the Atlanta MC’s newest album is starting to lose its steam on the charts. After riding it out on the charts for more then 7 weeks it looks like any hopes for platinum success is slowly diminishing. According to the new SoundScan reports, Mr. Jenkin’s socially conscious album sold 26K copies this week, bringing his US total to 561,561.

But in today’s shaky music industry I’m not sure if these numbers equate a commercial failure. Out of all the Def Jam artists that have dropped projects this year, this is easily one of the most successful ones. But I still held higher hopes for this project.

And now that we are officially in the fourth quarter and with SOHH many albums dropping from bigger and more popular names, does the Young Jeezy have what it takes to push this album into platinums status?

Jeezy has just wrapped two video shoots in Atlanta, and the holiday season is coming up followed by the Grammy’s, so I guess he could still ride it out at least 200, 000 more copies to push him into the low seven-hundred thousand range. But anything more then that seems extremely doubtful.

Platinum status or not, what did you think of the album? Did it live up to the hype?

I have still yet to here the project.

Let’s see what happens here.

Story Developing….

Talk to y’all lata,

North Carolina and New Jersey fans expecting to see Lil Wayne this weekend will again be forced to wait, as the New Orleans emcee has canceled two big arena shows in Raleigh and Atlantic City.

According to Ticketmaster, this Friday (October 31), the rap star was scheduled for a headlining performance at the RBC Arena in Raleigh, NC.

The following day, Wayne was set to helm the closing set for a high-profile showcase at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ.

Both shows were canceled for unknown reasons.

The cancellations is the latest chapter in a string of concert no-shows, reportedly fueled by Wayne’s dissatisfaction with concert venue accommodations.

Last Sunday (October 26), Wayne disappointed over 8,000 fans who had gathered in Rochester, NY, refusing to perform because of a “poor sound system.”

This forced Ludacris to step in at the last minute and attempt to salvage the show for disenchanted fans that refused refunds.

On Monday (October 27), Wayne deserted the star studded JAMN 94.5 Monster Jam, after his entourage refused a security check, forcing co-headliner Jay-Z to extend his set in hopes to quell angry chants for Wayne.

On October 28, the rapper made New York’s Power 105.1’s annual “Powerhouse” concert, which the station had promoted around Wayne and Jay sharing the stage for their track “Mr. Carter.”

Wayne did show up this time and enthrall the crowd with signature tracks like “A Milli,” the joint performance did not happen.

Despite Wayne alluding to the billed collaboration performance and repeatedly flashing the Roc sign, Jay-Z instead opted to grace the stage with fellow superstar and beau Beyonce as his special guest.

At press time, the rapper has yet to issue a statement surrounding the cancellations.

According to the National Enquirer, Jennifer Hudson may have been the real target of William Balfour – the man who brutally murdered Jennifer’s mother, brother and nephew.

Here’s how they describe what set William off:

Julia mother kicked out of the family home last May because of his drug dealing, and he was furious. He vowed to Julia that her family would regret it and said he’d kill Jennifer … He knew Jennifer was the most important person in their lives and that her death would devastate them…

He also said he was going to kidnap Julian and she’d never see him again. And he said, ‘Then when your famous sister gets back into town, I’ll do her too!’ said the source.

On why no one had him arrested for making threats:

“Jennifer and Julia thought he wouldn’t do anything that would send him back to jail,” said one source.

The mother of Hudson family murder suspect William Balfour has made an explosive allegation that last week’s grisly South Side home invasion was the result of drug dealing.

Michele Davis-Balfour made the comments on CNN’s Nancy Grace show while defending her son from what she feels is a smear campaign against his character.

“My son was not arrested, he turned himself in,” Davis-Balfour clarified. “It’s also a lie that he was caught with a weapon. The truth is Jason was selling drugs out of the house.”

Jason Hudson, brother of Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson, was murdered along with his mother Darnell Donerson in her South Side, Chicago home.

Several days later, the body of Hudson’s 7 year old nephew Julian King was discovered on the West Side in an abandoned SUV.

A post mortem indicated he had been shot 5 times at close range.

Police recovered a gun this afternoon in a vacant lot near where Jennifer Hudson’s nephew was found shot to death inside a sport-utility vehicle on the West Side.

It was not immediately known whether the gun was used in the killings of Hudson’s mother, brother and nephew. Earlier today, police sent about 100 personnel to the area near 13th Street and Kolin Avenue to search for evidence. The handgun was found around 1:30 p.m. about a block from where the vehicle had been parked along the street.

Lauryn Hill and her kids was recently spotted at a New Jersey Williams and Sonoma during a Martha Stewart book signing. I don’t know if she popped in by accident or on purpose but from the looks of her attire it wasn’t a planned event!

Whitney and Bobby are back together? Kinda sorta! There are rumors that the pair will both appear on the UK version of “Celebrity Big Brother.” Whitney Houston, I believe, has already been confirmed for the show and Bobby was brought to the table later down the line. Now, this has plenty of time to fall through, because the show isn’t set until January of 09. Whitney is 45 and Bobby is now 39. I can see this is going to be craaaaaazy!

We may never hear Amy Winehouse sing again, accoding to rumors and reports. She was just hospitalized for a chest infection. But the rumor is, her voice has been irreparably damaged through the consumption of drugs. She might never get to crank out another album. On top of that, she is supposedly working on a new CD, but the material isn’t there. She’s way behind schedule and there is concern at the label. It seems odd that an addict of this stature is allowed to work on new material in such a state of sickness. Oh, I forgot..thats the music game…they don’t give a f**k about you like that.

I understand a mother defending her son with her last breath. But the mother of Hudson family murder “person of interest” William Balfour, went in on Nancy Grace last night and got shut the **** down!

Chicago police have released evidence today (October 29), suggesting more than one person was involved in the triple murder involving singer Jennifer Hudson’s family.

An even more horrifying fact has emerged in the case, as AllHipHop.com has learned that one of Julian King’s hands was also cut off, suggesting that he may have been being held for ransom.

The boy was also shot in the head, although it is not known if his hand was severed prior to, or after his death.

The investigation has revolved around primary suspect William Balfour, estranged husband of Jennifer’s sister Julia Hudson, who was apprehended on Friday (October 24).

Although not charged with the South Side slayings, Balfour is being held on parole violations.

Witnesses placed Balfour in his teal Chrysler on the block of the murder scene last Friday at 7 AM. Later, the car was discovered parked a mile away at Robeson High School.

His girlfriend later verified he was at the home where Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson’s mother, Darnell Donerson, and brother Jason were shot to death.

On Monday (October 27), the body of 7-year old nephew Julian King was discovered several miles away in Jason Hudson’s Chevy Suburban.

The child was also the victim of multiple gunshot wounds. Security video from Robeson High School shows someone parking Balfour’s Chrysler on Friday, but a positive ID could not be made of the individual.

The video stamp also shows the car was left at 12:30 pm.

However, cell phone records place Balfour on the West Side of Chicago at that time, which indicates another suspect drove the vehicle from the South Side Hudson murder scene to the high school.

The possible origin of the crime is alleged to be over a car dispute between Balfour and his estranged wife Julia Hudson.

At the time of his apprehension, Balfour was on parole for a 1999 attempted murder conviction, and had been arrested in June for possession of cocaine.

At press time, police report that William Balfour is still not cooperating with any questioning

Diddy asks for T-Pain Help

Press Play is old news for Sean “Diddy” Combs, who recently told InTouch Weekly about his currently untitled upcoming album, “It’s electro Hip-Hop soul.”

“T-Pain gave me permission to use the vocoder, the Auto-Tune, and he showed me various tricks that nobody knows but him and myself,” Combs said. “We had a great time in the studio. He’s definitely an up and coming genius.”

MARIAH PREGNANT?

I heard a rumor that Mariah Carey might be in the earlier staged of a pregnancy.

Nas and Brandy?

There are rumor that Nas and Brandy are dating, but those have to be based on their recent musical collaboration.

New York’s Power 105fm’s Powerhouse concert went down yesterday at the IZOD center and Lil Wayne surprisingly made it through security and performed. After he stepped off the stage, he told Free that he skipped out on the Boston Monster Jam show the night before due to “technical difficulties”.  Hmmm, that’s strange. The 94.5 Jamz morning show’s story is that Lil Wayne refused to go through the metal detectors, even though his band was already set up on stage and everything.  (and yes they were mad enough to call him a little b*tch) Wayne also talked about the birth of his son in Cincinnati which he described as one of the happiest moments in his life. He revealed that he was actually at the hospital and helped deliver his son saying “I was holding on to his left leg the whole time”. Wayne seemed really happy but I’m just wondering why no one bothered to ask him about the Roc sign he’s been throwing up lately. Is that an ode to Jay-z or is he seriously about to join The Roc?

Jay-z of course brought out Memphis Bleek but the biggest surprise (or maybe not) was Beyonce Sasha Fierce appearing on stage to perform “Single Ladies”.  Check it out below:

The well-spoken rapper T.I. was a guest on the Tyra Banks Show yesterday. He was very candid in talking about his past mistakes and his upcoming jail term. T.I. gets props for saying he would rather walk with God than to walk with guns.

He explained what his nickname “Rubberband man” meant, to the amusement of Tyra who concluded he made money selling drugs. “Allegedly,” T.I. responded.

But the most shocking revelation was the fact that T.I. claims he lost his virginity to one of his baby mama’s at age 11! Now, y’all know how I feel about pedophiles and child molesters. Let’s do the math: T.I. was 11 y/o then — he’s 28 now. Tiny is 5 years older which means she was 16 at the time.

I know from Tip’s own mouth that he was a big fan of Tiny when she was a member of Xscape. Tiny was not 16 when she was a member of Xscape.

I also know that T.I. moved into Tiny’s house while she was a member of Xscape. In fact, T.I. recorded his entire first album in the basement studio of Tiny’s crib (I almost bought that house, by the way).

On the other hand, when Tip was 9 he was crushing hard on his first baby mama, Lashon Dixon, with whom he later had two children. So he could have meant her.

I liked how T.I. honored his baby mama (Tiny) by saying she is the only celebrity he recently slept with. That was sweet even though I hear T.I. steadfastly refuses to allow the talented Tiny to resume her singing career. But I could be wrong about that so don’t quote me.

After her children and her mom, singing is Tiny’s first love.

Maybe once T.I. is on lockdown, Tiny can pursue her dreams to record again. I hear the group Xscape is seriously considering getting back together.

A man was reportedly stabbed at a Three 6 Mafia concert on this past Thursday in South Carolina. Reportedly, the unidentified man was attending the concert at the Music Farm when the stabbing took place and was taken to the hospital for an inch deep wound.

According to ABC News 4, the man could not identify the person who stabbed him, therefore no suspect has been taken into custody.

Three 6 Mafia is currently on a promotional tour for their latest album Last 2 Walk.

In other news, the duo (DJ paul and Juicy J) was recently nominated for an American Music Award for Favorite Band, Duo or Group in the Rap/Hip-Hop Music category. Voting is currently still taking place.

The Awards show will be Hosted by Jimmy Kimmel and airs Sunday, November 23, 2008 8:00PM/EST on ABC.

This is one of the most hilarious interviews ever…Who is she? I love her….

A few classic moments to look for:

-When TI first walks out, Chelsea hugs him and then grabs his booty on the sly

-TI calls Chelsea a “loose white woman” and later on says “you have a thing for black guys don’t you”

-Chelsea asks TI does he have a “girlfriend” and he proceeds to tell her about his “situation”

Thanks to all my loyal readers who pointed out the tranny choreographer in Beyonce’s Single Ladies video. I can see he/she/it so clearly now, but before, I was busy studying the light skin chick to see if she had the male mannerisms. Truth be told, both dancers look a little on the rough side when you freeze the video.

Now that I know who he/she/it is, I do notice the broad shoulders, muscular thighs and large hands on him. Plus, he/she/it puts both women to shame in the dance category. How crazy is it that he/she/it looks more like a woman than both of them? Thanks again everyone!

Breaking News and Opinion on The Huffington Post

BURBANK, Calif. — No $150,000 wardrobe malfunctions for Michelle Obama.

“Actually, this is a J. Crew ensemble,” the wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama told comedian Jay Leno on Monday on his talk show. She wore a yellow sweater, skirt and blouse ensemble.

“You can get some good stuff online,” she added.

Former DeBarge frontman El DeBarge is serving time behind bars following an encounter with police in Los Angeles. According to reports, the R&B crooner (born Patrick Eldra DeBarge) was charged with possession of a controlled substance after his arrest on Monday (October 27).

The incident marks another setback for DeBarge, who was arrested and jailed earlier this month after two warrants for his arrest were discovered by authorities.

The singer was charged with several offenses last year, including vandalism, drugs and domestic violence. Prior to his legal troubles, El DeBarge emerged as a fixture on the ‘80s R&B scene as the lead singer of DeBarge.

Over the years, music from the crooner and the DeBarge family has been sampled by various rappers, which include the Notorious B.I.G., Tupac Shakur and AZ. He has also worked with rappers like Warren G., DJ Quik and others. El DeBarge is currently being held without bail. He is due in court on today (October 28

According to The Boston Globe, Lil Wayne dipped out on a show for 94.5 Jamz last night in Boston because he refused to go through security.

Lil Wayne was second-to-last on the bill, but he didn’t show up. No one gave the audience an explanation, but reporters were later told that Lil Wayne didn’t make it through security and decided to leave the building. It’s not the first time this has happened; something similar reportedly went down at Fashion Week in New York last month.

hmmm, this definitely sounds like an ongoing theme as he missed Fashion Rocks and almost missed the BET Hip Hop Awards for the same reason.  Last night, Jay-z ended up going back on stage and performed for an extra 20 minutes to make up for Wayne’s absence.  If Wayne shows up tonight, it will be the first time that the two perform “Mr. Carter” together. Also, it’s a possibility that Mrs. Carter may show up on stage with Jay and a few other surprises.

UPDATE :

MediaTakeOut.com just got this EXPLOSIVE report from one of our faithful readers:

Last night the big hip hop radio station (jamn 94.5) in my area (Boston), had a monster jam concert (yearly concert consisting of multiple artists). The line up was Young Berg, Brandy, Neyo, Lil Wayne, And Jay-Z.

Jay was supposta cap off the night. Young Berg, Brandy and Neyo went did their thing … then announcers were like you ready for Lil Wayne blah blah blah… then a hype man paused everyone for over an hour.

A security guard gave us the word Weezy was too f*cked up to come out … all of a sudden Jay-Z comes out performing – absolutely kills it! Then he wraps up, and the crowd is going nuts “we want Weezy”…they get on the mic and say he hasn’t showed up yet…

Then they were in a frenzy and Jay-Z came back out and did another performance that was unplanned … Weezy is a junkie, if it wasn’t for the real best rapper alive there woulda been a riot…

In the train stations after the concert Weezy didn’t have much fans, I heard a buncha foul sh*t talking … Jamn 945 (radio station that hosted it) covered up by saying “he wasn’t cool with going through security ” which is a lie…

Air out Weezy! Please!

Consider him aired out!!!

Good morning. Remember that whatever your past has been YOUR FUTURE IS SPOTLESS!    Go get em!

Two Mid-South men with strong white-supremacy beliefs are in federal custody after planning to go on a bizarre state-to-state killing spree, targeting blacks and ending with the assassination of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, federal authorities said today.

Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tenn., near Jackson, and Paul Schlesselman, 18, of West Helena, Ark., hatched their violent plan after they met on the Internet last month and discussed their shared interest in “White Power” and “Skinhead” philosophies.

“The individuals began discussing going on a ‘killing spree’ that included killing 88 people and beheading 14 African Americans,” according to an affidavit filed by Special Agent Brian Weaks of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. “The numbers 88 and 14 have special significance within the ‘White Power’ movement.”

The two men had accumulated a sawed-off shotgun, pistols and a .308-caliber rifle and planned to attack an unnamed, predominantly black school and ultimately end with a daring attack on Obama.

“Schlesselman states that they planned to drive their vehicle as fast as they could toward Obama, shooting at him from the windows,” according to the affidavit. “Both individuals stated they would dress in all-white tuxedos and wear top hats during the assassination attempt. Both individuals further stated they knew they would and were willing to die during this attempt.” sic

An Obama spokeswoman traveling with the senator in Pennsylvania had no immediate comment.

Cowart and Schlesselman, who were arrested Wednesday in Crockett County, made initial appearances Monday in federal court in Memphis.

They remain in custody and have a detention hearing Thursday when a judge will determine whether a bond should be set.

“The allegations set forth in this Criminal Complaint are serious and will be treated as such, “ said Lawrence J. Laurenzi, acting U.S. Atty. for the Western District of Tennessee.

According to federal authorities, Cowart and Schlesselman planned to travel state to state to finance their killing spree with home invasions and to stockpile weapons by robbing federally licensed gun dealers.

Last Tuesday, armed with knives and handguns, they targeted a home in Bells just northwest of Jackson, but aborted the robbery plan when they encountered a dog in the backyard and two vehicles next to the house.

Later they went to a Wal-Mart in Brownsville where they bought food, nylon rope and two ski masks to use in their next home-invasion attempt or gun-store robbery, authorities said.

While in that area early Wednesday, Cowart used a .22-caliber pistol to shoot out a window at Beech Grove Church of Christ as he drove their car along Beech Grove Road.

Authorities said that after the men returned to the Bells area, they bought window chalk and wrote racially motivated words and symbols on Cowart’s vehicle, including a Swastika and the numbers 14 and 88.

The numbers apparently referred to the number of words in certain white supremacist and Nazi phrases.

The two were taken into custody by sheriff’s deputies later that night and turned over to federal authorities.

“It is critical that the alleged plot was interrupted,” said James Cavanaugh, Special Agent in Charge of ATF in Nashville. “We give credit to the deputies of Crockett and Haywood Counties. All forces of law enforcement have come together to stop this threat.”

The two men are charged with making threats against a major candidate for the office of president, conspiracy to rob a federal firearms licensee and possession of a sawed-off shotgun

More details are emerging in the brutal murder of Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson’s nephew, Julian King: according to Chicago’s Newsradio780, the FBI said the body found in a white Suburban is that of Julian King.

The Chicago Tribune cites law enforcement sources who say the body was found on the floor in the back seat of the white Chevrolet Suburban police were looking for in their search for 7-year-old Julian King.

Sources said that the boy was shot twice in the head and also suffered head trauma. The boy was wearing basketball shorts and a white T shirt when found. Police believe the boy was shot to death inside the Suburban. Police are testing the clothing of a man in custody for gunshot residue. The clothing is believed to belong to William Balfour, Jennifer Hudson’s bother-in-law.

Balfour was taken into custody at a girlfriend’s home hours after the bodies were found. Sources say the girlfriend contradicted his alibi. Police say they’ve also caught him in at least one other lie. Police were able to track his whereabouts Friday through cell phone records, sources said. The girlfriend lives two miles from where the truck was found.

Hudson family members are on their way to the Cook County medical examiner’s office this afternoon to identify the body. Police Supt. Jody Weis will hold a press conference at 4 p.m. today.

Police arrived at the Suburban with Illinois license plate X584859 before 8 a.m. in the 1300 block of South Kolin Avenue, after receiving a call of a suspicious vehicle.

LaSahawn Bouie, 36, said officers first opened the back door. “They knew there was a body in there,” he said, adding that investigators looked inside and then too pictures.

It was found by a 75-year-old who lives on the block, John Louden. He said he has lived on the block for 18 years and worried about people selling drugs in the abandoned building behind it. He saw the SUV while walking his dog. After a double-take, he realized the license plate matched the one police were looking for.

“I didn’t look in there. I didn’t touch it. I knew it was a strange vehicle,” Louden said. He said police showed up in about five minutes after his wife called them. They discovered the child inside. The body was removed and the SUV was towed away for evidence processing. “I feel bad about that baby,” Louden said.

Z-100’s Elvis Duran reports: An insider just informed me that Shannon from MTV’s Making The Band “Danity Kane” quit the band. This comes off of the heels of Diddy firing of Aubrey O’day and D.Woods. You remember Shannon, the nice, quiet, married girl who was a great team player. Well, guess little momma has more balls than all the rest of them! Tired of the drama, cat fights and Diddy, she hands in her microphone and tells Mr. Badboy Worldwide where to stick it!

They may as well call it a wrap. At this point Danity Kane is down to just two members. I guess another season of “Making The Band” will mean more auditions are in order.

jennifer-hudson-nephew-body:

A child’s body was found in a white GMC Suburban at 1313 S. Kolin Avenue on the West Side of Chicago this morning. According to neighbors, police at the scene identified the body as that of Julian King, 7, the missing nephew of Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson.

His mother Julia Hudson, 31, was accepting friend requests on her Myspace page this morning at least an hour after the boy’s body was found.

The truck was found about 13 miles from Jennifer Hudson’s childhood home where the bodies of her mother and brother were found shot to death early Friday (SEE MAP).

A neighbor called police at 3 am this morning to report the vehicle had been in the neighborhood since Saturday. The neighbor looked in the truck’s window and spotted the decomposing body of a boy. William Balfour, who is estranged from Hudson’s sister Julia Hudson, was arrested late Friday at the home of his pregnant girlfriend — a few miles from where the truck was found.

Balfour was released to the dept. of corrections early Sunday for violating his probation in a case unrelated to the murders. He was not charged.

The truck was towed from the scene an hour ago. A Chicago police spokesman released no information about the discovery.

An Amber Alert was issued Friday after Julian was reported missing after a family member found his grandmother and uncle shot to death inside the family’s home in the 7000 block of South Yale Avenue.

Missing from the home was Jennifer Hudson’s brother’s 1994 white Chevrolet Suburban with Illinois license plate X584859.

With Tina Fey off this week from Sarah Palin duty and Amy Poehler in the maternity ward, Saturday Night Live was left to spoof the Obamas and Sen. Joe Biden.

In the opening sketch, Jason Sudeikis played Biden and Darrell Hammond was Rep. John Murtha in a C-SPAN presentation of “Sen. Biden and Rep. Murtha Say Crazy Things In Johnston, PA.”

Half an hour later in the show came a message from Barack and Michelle Obama, with guest Maya Rudolph as Michelle pitching the “Barack Obama Variety Half-Hour” and singing, “Solid as Barack” with guest like Nancy Pelosi, Bill Clinton, and Joe Biden. Scroll down for transcripts. Plus, watch SNL’s “Mad Men” sketches.

The body of Jennifer Hudson’s mother Darnell Donerson was found by Jennifer Hudson’s sister Julia around 2:45 PM yesterday. Julia called 911 to report the shooting. She also reported her 7-year-old son missing. Police arriving on the scene found Hudson’s brother Jason shot to death in a bedroom. An Amber Alert issued for little Julian King is still in effect. Anyone who has seen a white Chevy Suburban with Illinois license plate X584859 is asked to call Chicago police immediately.  (Source)

The suspect in the slayings of actress Jennifer Hudson’s mother and brother is now in custody.

Police arrested William Balfour, 27, last night in Chicago. Balfour’s mother, Michelle, said her son had been married to Hudson’s sister, Julia, 29, for several years, but they were separated. She also said Donerson had ordered him to move out of the family’s home last winter.

A relative found the body of Darnell Donerson, 57, lying on her living room floor around 2:45 PM yesterday. Police arriving on the scene found the body of Jason Hudson, 27, in a bedroom of the home he shared with his mother. Both victims had been shot multiple times. The front door was unlocked.

Police made several arrests last night but no one has been charged in the case according to law enforcement sources who spoke to the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times. Police spokeswoman Monique Bond said investigators were talking to “a number of people in custody” but she declined to elaborate.

The whereabouts of Julia Hudson’s 7-year-old son, Julian King, is still unknown. An Amber Alert was issued for Julian yesterday. The boy was initially thought to be Balfour’s son, but Balfour was incarcerated during the time Julian was conceived.

Balfour was convicted and sentenced to 7 years in prison for attempted murder and car jacking in 1999. He was paroled in 2006. Julian was born in 2001.

Published reports indicated William may have stolen Julia’s car in recent weeks and was barred from the family home as a result. In a caption posted under a photo of her brother Jason, Julia noted that Jason was picking her up from her job where she worked as a school bus driver because, “William bitch ass sold my car.”

Paul Ciliano, a former Chicago police officer and CBS News consultant, said the Englewood neighborhood where the crimes were committed is “probably the toughest neighborhood in the city of Chicago.

“This is notoriously violent area, the most shootings and car hijackings and tough-and-rumble place on the South Side of Chicago,” he told Early Show anchor Priya David.

Members at the church where the tight-knit family worshiped said Jennifer Hudson offered to move her mother out of the area, but Donnerson refused to leave.

“These are such difficult times,” said the family’s pastor, Rev. Willie R. Davis, of the Progressive Baptist Church. “To lose a mother and a brother at one time — and then to lose them under these circumstances would be difficult for anyone. We just have to wait until the opportunity permits that we can sit down with them and have prayer. Jennifer is a very strong lady. She is deep-rooted in her faith. We know that through it all, she will get through.”

CBS News correspondent Cynthia Bowers reports that Hudson returned to Chicago last night after news of the deaths. But her sister Julia was still accepting friend requests on her Myspace page as recently as this morning. She is said to be “numb”.

Hudson recently announced her engagement to David Otunga, best known for his stint on VH1’s reality show “I Love New York.”

The star is asking for privacy in her time of grief. Her Web site jenniferhudsononline.com is already filled with condolence notes.

October 24, 2008. Now that D Woods and Aubrey O’Day were fired from Danity Kane it seemed odd for the group to have only 3 members. But MediaTakeOut.com’s EXTREMELY RELIABLE source claims that Danity Kane won’t be a trio for long. According to our snitch R&B singer Cassie is set to step in as the new “lead” singer of Bad Boy’s top female group Danity Kane. The insider tells MediaTakeOut.com, “Expect the announcement before the end of the year.” Wow … Cassie, huh. And it couldn’t have anuthing to do with the fact that she’s been getting it in with Diddy for nearly a year now does it… Developing.

October 24, 2008. MediaTakeOut.com told you yesterday that R&B singer Lyfe Jennings was arrested after shooting a gun off in the street after looking for his baby’s mother at the home of another man. Well now we’ve learned that Joy Bounds, Lyfe’s baby mother, took out a temporary restraining order against him.

And under the terms of the temporary order, MediaTakeOut.com has EXCLUSIVELY learned that Lyfe is not allowed near either Joy or their children together for 30 days.

Sad … but given how things went down … it sounds necessary.

Lyfe is now out on bond. But under the terms of his release, MediaTakeOut.com has learned that Lyfe is required to remain sober. And he’s precluded from visiting Joy or the man whom Joy is reportedly seeing now.

Developing…
