Jennifer Hudson First Public Appearance

After the tragic shootings of her mother, brother and nephew, actress/singer Jennifer Hudson went into hiding and hasn't been seen since. She was supposed to return to work earlier this month, but decided it was too early.

Hudson will make her first public appearance since her family tragedy on February 6 to perform at the MusiCares person of the year gala.

She will join Tim McGraw, Josh Groban, Foo Fighters, and Coldplay on stage and sing a few Neil Diamond songs. The gala will be held two days before the Grammy Awards, which is set to air on Feb. 8 at L.A.'s Staples Center.

Earlier this month Hudson said: "It's been a childhood dream of mine to release an album, so to receive four Grammy nominations is truly a blessing." She added, "I am extremely honored and humbled by the nominations."

Can't wait for her return!

Britney Spears' Father Gets Pay Raise For Being Her Dad!

Layoffs, cutbacks, bailouts and bankruptcies are no concern for Jamie Spears, who has the most secure job on the planet, micromanaging his talented daughter Britney Spears’ career and life. He’s doing such a great job that he just got himself a raise! He’s now making about $75 an hour to look after his own daughter.

According to People, a Los Angeles Superior Court commissioner boosted Jamie Spears' conservatorship income by $51,000. Since February, Jamie, 56, has been looking after Britney to the tune of $10,000 a month. Court Commissioner Reva Goetz has now raised Daddy's fee to about $16,000 a month.

Here’s the kicker. Goetz also made the pay raise retroactive. Jamie was also given an additional $1,200 a month for "office expenses," which Goetz said was justified by Britney's personal and professional life being back on track.

What do you think? Should a father get paid to look after his own daughter?

Half dead, and half alive...

Was at the hair-dresser's, shopping, had my nails done, shopping,
doing some sightseeing, shopping, showing my Love around, shopping.
I am so much cheesed off. Even though I am on the verge of losing all my vital powers,
I am happy.
And I am gonna buy that creamy coat.
I HAVE TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
