Jennifer Hudson has revealed that she is all set to marry “real soon”.
Hudson who has just come out of her traumatic phase, has taken a more progressive approach to life. According to Hudson’s friends, The ‘Dreamgirls’ star and her fiance, attorney David Otunga, could tie the knot as early as this month.
Said one source, “It could be real soon and maybe even Valentine’s Day. The couple grew close in their relationship pretty recently, after David helped Jennifer get over her worst period of life.”
Last October, Jennifer’s mother, Darnell Donerson, 57, brother Jason, 29, and seven-year old nephew Julian, were shot dead. The tragedy forced David and Jennifer, who got engaged last September, to put their original wedding plans on hold.
It is rumored that Hudson plans to begin a family soon after marriage because “she’s always been apart of a big family and she realizes it’s time to start one of her own.”
If you’re wondering why her fiance looks familiar, it’s probably because you know him as “Punk” from VH1’s “I Love New York 2″.
Hip-hop star 50 Cent is risking his macho reputation by launching his own range of male grooming products.
The platinum selling rapper is notorious for making profitable business decisions outside of hiphop music, but his most recent venture has left some people scratching their head in disbelief.
The rapper is branching out into the beauty business and is currently putting the finishing touches to a male cosmetics line, including moisturizers and night creams.
Said one industry veteran, “I think 50 realizes he’s on borrowed time in terms of making music so he’s capitalizing on every opportunity. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear about a 50 Cent cheeseburger at this point.”
A spokesperson for the rapper explained, “50 prides himself on having a ripped body… he’s on a health kick and barely touches alcohol. So he will focus on the guy who likes to pamper himself”.
