Scarlett Johansson's latest single with Peter Yorn. It's actually kind of catchy. Can't stand her, but her voice is kind of unique.

I think it was probably that they left the key thing for the treadmill still in the slot, and the string from that, which you're meant to attach to your clothing when you're running (because if you fall off that pulls out the key and turns off the treadmill) was looped over the frame somehow. Our treadmill key string is in that position whenever I'm on the machine (as our clip broke so now doesn't attach to clothes properly), and I can see how the loop it creates could strangle a child or even a big dog. We don't have either in the house but it is something to think about. A very very sad tragedy. You have to wonder how often things like this happen to non-celebrities and we just don't hear about them. More than we think, I fear.

A beautiful baby on the way! http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20282332,00.html Report: Jennifer Hudson Is Pregnant By Antoinette Y. Coulton Grammy-winning singer and Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson can add mom-to-be to her resume after a weekend baby shower in her honor was held in downtown Chicago, the Chicago Tribune reports. Felicia Fields, a longtime friend of the Hudson, confirmed to the paper that the event happened on Saturday. "It was a baby shower, a quiet gathering of friends and mostly family," Fields, also a singer and actress, said of a gathering in a relative's home. "They're really trying to keep it kind of quiet." She added: "It was a nice time that we had." When asked if Hudson received blue or pink gifts, Fields said, "They don't know [the gender]. More yellow." Another paper, the Chicago Sun-Times, reports Hudson is seven months along. A rep for Hudson had no comment. Hudson, 27, who is engaged to Harvard-educated-lawyer-turned-wrestler David Otunga, has also kept mum about her upcoming wedding date. <fixed link>

Kind of surprised here - Otunga strikes me as being opportunistic and quite frankly more into boys than girls. But Jennifer deserves a world of happiness after everything that has happened to her, and he seems to have been rock solid in helping her through those unbelievably hard ordeals. Congratulations to them both.

Steve Martin has a new bluegrass album out. So that's why he was on Idol - I thought that was weird.

I must've missed something along the way - what kind of ordeals has Jennifer had?

Teach, Jennifer's mother, brother and nephew were murdered in their Chicago home by her sister's estranged husband. They were shot dead. I think it was late last fall. Actually, the little nephew was shot dead in the car that he was kidnapped in after the mom and brother were killed. eta, this article explains it all. http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/12/02/hudson.charges/

Absolutely. I'm glad she's having some wonderful times in her life after so much horror.

How horrible! I especially loved to hate him as Justin LaMotte in the North and South miniseries.

What a drag. I really liked him. I recently saw a TMZ bit where he snatched a pebble out of a paparazzi's hand and I was pretty impressed. I hate to say this, but the first thing that came to mind to me was that freaky sex practice.

Beek, Holly, I guess you might be right they're saying they found the rope tied around his privates too. SMH.

Trust me, I didn't. First I only told him he'd died, thinking he would look up the stories when he got back to the office. Then he came home and asked me what happened. So I told him it appeared he'd committed suicide. He thought about that for a minute then he wanted to know how. So I told him he'd hung himself. He looked absolutely disturbed by that news and hasn't brought it up since. If he finds out anything more I'm going to act like I didn't know. He is watching Kung Fu season 3 on DVD right now.

Well, when I heard he was hanging in the closet, my mind went right there. I loved him in Kill Bill.

Another sad bit of news... Koko Taylor has died at 80. She was an awesome blues singer who was a trailblazer for women like Janice. I can still hear her singing "You can take my husband, but don't you touch my man."
