The prosecution informed the court that additional fingerprints found at the site of the SVU had been analyzed and that they were NOT the defendants. The prosecution went on to state that they "suspect they’re friends of Jason" (Jason Hudson, Jennifer Hudson’s murdered brother and owner of the SVU where murdered child, Julian King was found in). The prosecution also informed the court that they were waiting on the "police officer’s summaries."
The prosecution stated that they only received notes from the defense from the "medical examiner."
The defense stated that they have one (1) witness' "interview notes" but, that a clerk had left with them.
The judge stated that "we will try this case in February 2012 and that there will be "no more discovery coming."
A continuance was granted "by agreement" to three (3) weeks from today.

I'm Feeling Good...Again!
Finally, those blaring, jarring, wailing Jennifer Hudson Weight Watcher commercials appears to be ceasing. I thought there were decibel laws for TV commercials and those commercials featuring Jennifer Hudson appeared to break every one of them. For those who remember the genius that was Nina Simone and to preserve the sanctity of the song featured in the Weight Watcher commercial I gladly post Nina's version of Feeling Good. Enjoy!

Lee Daniels Movies Make Me Cringe!
February 5, 2011
By Ladyglen
Someone recently asked me what did I think of the movie Shadowboxer directed by Lee Daniels. I couldn’t give them a really detailed answer other than I didn’t like it. I had ordered the movie from Amazon because I recalled seeing an interview with Helen Mirren and Cuba Gooding, Jr. talking about the movie and it sounded like a movie I would like to see, especially being a huge fan of Helen Mirren.
But, something about the movie’s interracial relationships and disrespect for women just didn’t sit well with me. I also took issue with the lingering shots of Cuba’s tight muscular buttocks and the white actor (whose name I don’t recall) penis. Then I realized the film was directed by Lee Daniels and that explained (to me at least) the film’s apparent fascination with interracial relationships, degradation of black women and the male anatomy.
For some reason, Lee Daniels movies brings flashbacks of the worst “exploitation” movie (black and white) of all time...MANDINGO!

Random Thoughts Of A Wondering Mind (Lack of African American Nominees at 2011 Academy Awards)
January 26, 2011
By Ladyglen
I was just wondering if...
The casting of amateur (in regards to acting) singers in starring film roles is the reason why there is a lack of quality black actors’ presence at this year’s Academy Awards ceremony?
Now you have 50 Cent, Chris Brown, TI, being cast in roles that should have gone to Denzel and some of the younger trained black actors.
You have Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys being cast in roles that should have gone to Sanaa, Taraji, Angela, Nia and even Vivica!
But, that’s okay. I’ve got something planned for that crap!
Halle Berry is a damn fool for turning down that Aretha role because she “can’t sing.” That type of reasoning by her leads me to believe she’s more unstable than I previously thought!
Hell singers who can’t act are taking roles from real actors. It’s time for real actors who can’t sing to take back those roles from real singers who can’t act!
(*Exhale*)... That Is All!

By a vote of 2 - 1 the Appellate Court of Cook County has voted to remove Rahm Emanuel from the upcoming Chicago Mayoral Ballot stating:
OPINION
The petitioners, Walter P. Maksym, Jr., and Thomas L. McMahon,The entire ruling in pdf format can be found at the link below:
filed written objections to the candidacy of the respondent, Rahm
Emanuel (the candidate), who seeks to be a candidate for Mayor of the City of Chicago in the Municipal General Election to be held on February 22, 2011. After an evidentiary hearing, the Board of
Election Commissioners of the City of Chicago (the Board) dismissed the objections and ruled that the candidate was entitled to have his name included on the ballot as a mayoral candidate. The petitioners sought judicial review in the circuit court of Cook County, which confirmed the decision of the Board. The petitioners now appeal. For the reasons that follow, we reverse the circuit court’s judgment, set aside the Board’s decision, and order that the candidate’s name be excluded (or, if necessary, removed) from the ballot for Chicago’s February 22, 2011, mayoral election.
