Jennifer Hudson is returning to work following the murder of her mother, brother and nephew. The singer-and-actress will start shooting the video for her new single "If It Isn't Love" in Los Angeles next week, according to her music label J Records.

The 27-year-old star was due to start work on the music promo when her mother Darnell Hudson Donerson and brother Jason Hudson were found shot dead in their Chicago home on October 24.

Jennifer Hudson feels "blessed" after being nominated for four Grammy awards. The 27-year-old singer-and-actress - who has been in hiding since the fatal shooting of her mother, brother and nephew in October - says being considered for a host of the prestigious music awards is a dream come true.

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

Jennifer Hudson's brother-in-law has been officially charged with the murder of the actress' mother, brother and nephew.

William Balfour, the estranged husband of Jennifer's sister Julia, was arrested for the October shootings on Monday. He was officially charged on Tuesday with the killings of Darnell Hudson Donerson, Jason Hudson and seven-year-old Julian King.

Paul Bettany was terrified about working alongside his wife Jennifer Connelly in new movie "Creation." The 37-year-old actor - who raises two children with Jennifer, who he has been married to for four years - was unsure whether he would be able to control himself when shooting the couple's first film together.

He said: "We were both a bit concerned that we wouldn't be able to do it.

Dakota Fanning has defended her rape scene in upcoming movie "Hounddog."

The 14-year-old actress is unfazed by the controversy and wouldn't comment on calls for her mother to be jailed on child pornography charges because she allowed Dakota to appear in the scene without having a body double.

The main suspect in the murders of Jennifer Hudson's mother and brother has allegedly admitted he was involved in the killings.

William Balfour - the estranged husband of Jennifer's sister Julia - has reportedly told his girlfriend he played a part in the deaths of Jennifer's mother Darnell Donerson, 57, and brother Jason Hudson, 29, who were shot dead at their South Chicago home last month.
