    Definitely very sad. But I had to ask the same question when I heard it reported... who's Jennifer Hudson?

    She was on American Idol and won an Oscar for her performance in Dreamgirls.

    Not trying to make this a debate issue on race, but what are your thoughts on the coverage of this story if this wasn't Hudson's family? I can't think of similarly bizarre and horrific story the involved multiple deaths including young children.

    If this was just a "random" family, it may not have received such high publicity if not for the connection to a relatively well-known actress/singer. Would race play an issue?

    Either way this is one of the worst things I've ever read or heard about, even if I'm not too familiar with Hudson's work.

    So did Tatum O'Neal, and she's a junkie. What's your point?

    Just guessing that it was to say Jennifer Hudson is not a C-List pop singer, but is in fact an A-List Academy Award Winning actress who won the award in her prime (as opposed to your poor comparison to a 10-year old academy award winner). Just a guess.

    What if this "random" family was white (non-celebrity)?

    Jennifer Hudson and Tatum O'Neal both won their Academy Awards in the first movie they ever acted in.

    As of now I consider her to be pretty close to the A-list. Other Idol singers...not so much.

    Anyway, it's such a superficial argument...terrible tragedy and hopefully they catch the person who did this.

    That's basically what I was hinting at, but didn't want to get into a discussion that may be irrelevant and overshadow what really occurred.

    Still, worth thinking about.
