Debbie Reynolds & Carrie Fisher on Oprah

In a beautiful interview on Oprah, Debbie Reynolds and her daughter, Carrie Fisher talk candidly about their past. I'm not that much of a Hollywood buff to know that they are related. Thanks for the enlightenment, Oprah. All I know is that Debbie Reynolds performs in Las Vegas once in a while, Carrie Fisher played the role of Princess Leia (whom I loved so much that I partly named my daughter Leia), and that they are icons in the celebrity industry.

So the story goes that Debbie Reynolds and her then husband were good friends with Elizabeth Taylor & her then husband, Michael Todd. Well, Michael died in a tragic plane accident. This left Taylor widowed. THEN what happened was...Eddie Fisher flew to Elizabeth Taylor's side (and as Carrie Fisher says, "then her front") and had an affair with her. And the story goes. Anyway, hopefully you had a chance to watch the interview.

Jennifer Hudson Looks Amazing

Jennifer Hudson appeared on a recent Oprah episode and revealed her amazing self before the world! She has lost weight and looks great. Her career is shooting off like fireworks. She is a (somewhat) new mommy. Her son David is now almost one & a half years young, born in August 2009.

Anyway, Jennifer has accomplished much for herself. Too bad Simon Cowell didn't see OR did he? Maybe he knew that American Idol would be small cake for her and that she was destined for bigger things. He didn't want her to be tied to an AI contract for years. She was ready to be let into the world for greater successes.

Whatever the case, Jennifer Hudson, you are an amazing woman! Good luck to you and your fiance, David Otunga and David, Jr. Wait, is there news of Baby #2 on the way? We'll see!
