J. Hud Opens Up About Her Son
She sounds so happy! After giving birth to David Daniel Otunga, Jr. back in August, proud mama Jennifer Hudson can’t stop gushing about her baby boy! “He’s the cutest thing in the world! There are no words for it. He’s the best. It’s just amazing – us discovering each other, me becoming a mom.” Little David is also said to be very musical already, calming down when Jennifer plays music for him: “The other night he was having a fit screaming, and someone turns on the music and he just stops and calms down. And I was exactly the same way as a baby. Sometimes when he cries, I try to harmonize!” Hudson also opened up about her own mother, who she lost so tragically last year: “I think she was a great example of being a mother, so when [my son] first got home, I was like, ‘Everything I do will be out of love. That’s what drives me in the middle of the night when I’m knocked out sleeping and he wakes up.” Now the family, including Jennifer’s fiance David Otunga , is gearing up for the upcoming holidays including Halloween! “I wish he was older so he could remember it, but this is the first one, so I have to go all out. It’s going to be great.” Sounds like she’s made a lovely family for herself and we truly couldn’t be happier for Jennifer! [ Image via PNP / WENN .]

Michelle Obama Lobbies For Chicago
With the First Lady behind the decision to bring the 2016 Summer Olympics to America, you know tons more people are going to get behind it as well. While attending the summit of world leaders in Pittsburg last week, Michelle Obama clued in a few select reporters that she will be lobbying hard for Chicago to beat out contenders Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo and Madrid. With more than 100 members to persuade, the First Lady is ready to talk to whoever will listen. She explained: “I’m talking to everybody. That’s what my schedule looks like. I don’t think there’s one person left off.” Her passion for the event stems from her childhood fascination with the games as well as her hometown pride. At least she is doing something fairly interesting with her time in office! We think if she joins forces with Oprah Winfrey , they might just be able to make it happen! [ Image via WENN .]
