Is Jennifer Hudson pregnant?
This was the question that many of us had in our heads. She has never confirmed her pregnancy, But after seeing her perform beautifully at the Michael Jackson Memorial “Will You Be There” from the 1993 Dangerous album, singer and actress Jennifer Hudson revealed her baby bump. Or, Is Usher getting a little hands?
Take a look at these Jennifer Hudson pictures taken before the Michael Jackson memorial at the Staples Center today. The answer to this question “Is Jennifer Hudson Pregnant?” is I think so!
A friend did confirm that the singer is expecting a baby with boyfriend David Otunga after the Chicago papers reported the baby shower last month. She’s believed to be about eight months pregnant now.
Hudson, who broke up with her pre-fame boyfriend in 2007, has been dating Otunga. David Otunga is a lawyer-turned-WWE wrestler (and former reality show contestant) since last year.
Here is the video of Jennifer Hudson performing at the Michael Jackson Memorial

OK! cover of Michael Jackson's death photo stirs controversy - A woe added
But they've gotten more reaction than they bargained for.
The New York Post has reported that Sean Combs and Jay-Z are said to be so furious, "they're organizing a boycott,"
A rep for OK! has denied the boycott to the Post. "This is untrue. No one at OK! has been contacted about any such cancellations as a result of the magazine's coverage of this news event. Any pages booked by the advertising team are running as scheduled."
Even without a boycott, why the outrage over a photo that already aired Friday on the entertainment news show “The Insider?”
OK! Magazine published Michael Jackson's death photo on its cover this week. But "The Insider" showed the same photo on TV and posted it on its website last week. Click here (but its graphic, be warned) to see the photo
The show's website clearly says "The Insider" has the exclusive last photo of Michael Jackson before his death. But there is often a distinction between a print publication and a TV show and website's exclusive rights.
What do you think about this photo being released at all?
Is it disgusting and disrespectful? Or will it appeal to Michael's morbidly curious millions of fans? In a very creepy way, it is their last chance to say goodbye.

Matthew DeBord: Wimbledon Tennis: In Final, Roger Federer Has No Chance, Grabbed by BadLuck
Andy Roddick will win the 2009 Wimbledon final 7-6 6-7 7-6 6-7 9-7, defeating Roger Federer in his bid to reclaim his All England Club crown and surpass Pete Sampras' record of 14 Grand Slam titles. You heard it here first!
Actually, my predicted score line is the only chance Roddick has of taking Federer down this year. Fed is playing very, very well on the vaunted grass courts of England. His serve has been stupendous: When Roger Federer gets his first serve percentage into the low 80s, he's virtually impossible to beat--or even take sets off of.
But Roddick is no slouch in the serve department, either. Among active pros, he owns one of the biggest first and second serves in the game, a deadly combination of terrifying velocity and insane spin. Since losing two Wimbledon finals to Federer, he's modified his game and started to play up to his abilities on grass.
Still, he'll struggle tomorrow to break Federer's serve, as Fed will struggle to break his. So an effective strategy for Roddick would be to guard his own serve fanatically, ignore Federer's, and save his best returns for tiebreakers. Tiebreakers are unpredictable, but Roddick is on a good tiebreak run. If he manages 3-4 aces and focuses on going after 2-3 returns, he can sprint to a quick lead and then try to hold on, edging out tiebreaks by scores of 8-6, 9-7, 10-8. With luck, he'll then be able to eek out a single service break late on the tiebreaker-less fifth set.
Federer isn't ultimately that worried about Roddick because he long ago cracked the American's game. They've met three times in Slam finals (Fed also defeated Roddick to win the 2006 U.S. Open), and in each case, the Swiss has neutralized Roddick's main weapon. This has typically frustrated Roddick, who's accustomed to holding serve easily against most players. Roddick is intelligent and competitive, but against Federer he needs more metal toughness than usual.
He showed this in his semifinal victory against Andy Murray, the Scottish player who had become the best chance for a British Wimbledon champ since Fred Perry in 1936. When he needed the big serves, he came up with them. And when the match became a battle of who could overcome the tightness that a pressure-filled match induces, Roddick demonstrated that he could hit through the anxiety.

One Cast Member Dead in Disney Monorail Crash
One cast member has been confirmed dead in a collision between two Monorails at Walt Disney World. The crash occurred on the EPCOT line near the TTA station around 2AM as operations were winding down following 4th of July fireworks. The pilot of the second monorail was transported to the hospital with minor injuries. No guest injuries are reported.
Click Orlando has the story and a video of the aftermath as guests and cast rush to reach the monorail pilot who is trapped in the pilot cone of the monorail train. The video appears to have been taken after the trains were pushed or pulled into the nearby TTA loading area. One family is shown being evacuated from the purple monorail and everyone looks okay.
Disney has said the monorail system is shut down for inspection and alternate transportation will be provided for today’s guests.
While the monorail is piloted by a cast member, each monorail is supposed to automatically apply its brakes if it closes within two “hold points” of another monorail. However the operator is allowed to override that system in some circumstances. This is the first fatal accident in the 38 year history of the monorail system at Walt Disney World.
I want to stress that this is not a regular occurrence on the monorail lines at Walt Disney World. Since the new trains were added in 1989 there have been no train to train collisions during normal operation. There have been a series of incidents where the nose cone windshield glass popped out during operation, plus many were so badly scratched you could barely see the track in front of you, but Disney had been replacing all the windsheilds on the trails.

Windows 7 May Get Family Pack Discount by PC World: Yahoo! Tech
Microsoft may be introducing a Family Pack for Windows 7 Home Premium, with a shared license for three computers in the same household. The license details in the latest build of Windows 7 have the following clause under ‘Installation and Use Rights': "If you are a ‘Qualified Family Pack User,' you may install one copy of the software marked as ‘Family Pack' on three computers in your household for use by people who reside there," according to ZDNet's Ed Bott.
The Family Pack for Windows 7 Home Premium would fall in line with similar licensing Microsoft already has for the Home & Student Edition of Microsoft Office 2007. There's no word on Family Pack pricing yet, but Bott's guess is that we'll see a Family Pack with a $189 price tag. Although he doesn't explicitly state this, Bott suggests that a price of $189 would be used since it undercuts by $10 Apple's comparable Family Pack that gives you five OS X licenses for $199.
That may seem reasonable, but I'm doubtful since I don't see why Microsoft would feel the need to compete with Apple on boxed software. When you buy a copy of Windows you can throw the OS on almost any computer with enough horsepower, but OS X requires a Mac. Yes, I know all about the Hackintosh community where you install OS X on a Windows machine, but PCs running OS X is not a big enough market to cause Microsoft concern.
Let's face it, when you buy a boxed copy of OS X, you are installing the OS on a Mac not a Dell. People simply aren't going into a store and weighing the pros and cons of buying OS X or Windows software. Sure, when it comes to buying a new computer there's a big rivalry, and in those instances people are weighing the pros and cons of a Mac versus a Windows machine. But when it comes to a software upgrade or fresh install, the type of computer you have at home has already made your software choice for you (unless you're switching over to a Linux build, of course).
The other problem is a $189 Family Pack undercuts the $199 price tag already established for the standalone version of Windows 7 Home Premium. What are they going to do, have Best Buy interrogate you to make sure you're really going to use the cheaper Family Pack for one household? What is more likely, in my view, is that anyone who buys a Home Premium edition of Windows 7 will automatically have three licenses, just like with the comparable edition of Microsoft Office 2007.
There would probably be widespread abuse with that pricing model since it would encourage single people and students to split the $199 cost three ways. But then again, that's a great way to put your new software within reach of almost everyone, and it also gives XP and Vista users a bigger incentive to make the switch to Windows 7. I can imagine a lot of people talking it over and saying, "66 bucks each for the new Windows? Sure, why not?"
Of course there's also the possibility that Microsoft could pull the Family Pack clause before Windows 7 officially hits store shelves on October 22. But as former PC World editor-in-chief Harry McCracken points out on Technologizer, people have been waiting for a Windows Family Pack for a long time. So the Family Pack in Windows 7 Home Premium Edition is most likely on its way, but how Microsoft will structure Family Pack pricing is anybody's guess.
