Jennifer Hudson and her late mother, Darnell

Jennifer Hudson: After finding out her mother and brother were murdered yesterday, the actress-singer has returned home to Chicago. Hudson’s nephew is still missing and the FBI have joined the investigation, though a suspect–allegedly the boy’s father–is in custody. We can’t imagine the pain Hudson, who lost her father when she was a teen (and just got engaged last month), feels right now and we hope we’ll never have to.

Fall Out Boy: Trying to break a world record by appearing on more than 57 radio shows in a given day. ‘Cause, you know, that’s cool.

DWTS: Reports are circulating that there’s beef between Cloris and the rest of the cast–though denials are being issued, too. We all know they’re just upset that an 82-year-old has made it this far in the competition.

The View: Should the co-hosts not be allowed to wear politically-inspired clothing on the show? That’s the latest coming from Barbara Walters after McCain-lover Elisabeth Hasselbeck sported a shirt for him on the show. Stepping on free speech? We’re undecided.

The CW: The network is no longer considered near-death thanks to the ratings improvement for Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill and the (questionable) success of 90210. Though this makes us happy, we’re not gonna lie: we miss the WB.

Palin: Should she get a gig hosting a talk show if the whole VP thing doesn’t work out? We’re thinking no. If she doesn’t win for veep, obviously people don’t like her so why would they watch her show?

David Giuntoli: Who said there isn’t life after MTV? This former no-name has parlayed a few seasons on Road Rules (and the spin-off challenges) into a role on Privileged. Apparently he also kissed a dude on Grey’s Anatomy. Who knew?

SIZZLED OUT: Carrie Underwood

STILL SIZZLING: Which megastar’s girlfriend is doing some of her own recording? Perhaps they think it will help bring sexy back to their relationship.

Only one of these is having a baby.

Taylor Momsen: The youngest Gossip Girl is in the hospital with a throat infection! It’s life-threatening, doctors say, but they also predict she’ll be fine. Which is it?!

Alyson Hannigan: She’s preggers! And no, Jim is not the father.

DWTS: Bye, bye Toni Braxton. Probably for the best with that heart problem and all.

Friday Night Lights: Wondering where it is? Only on DirectTV. What a scam.

Roseanne: It’s been 20 years since the show’s debut. We feel old.

Julianne Hough: After doing what we now know was a superb acting job on live TV last night, the 20-year-old was taken to the hospital. Today she says she’s “ok.” The culprit? A stomachache. Can’t she just suck it up like the rest of us?

ABC: A memo went out to all show execs: wardrobe spending will be limited here on out. Cheap? Or efficient?

Privileged: That other show on the CW. Has flown under the radar because it’s not Gossip Girl-esque. Says its creator (Rina Mimoun of our eternal favorite Everwood), that was precisely the point.

50 Cent: Granted once-a-month visitation with his son. And he’s happy about that–but is the kid? Man, we’d want to see our dad (a famous one, no less) a lot more than that!

James Dean or James Franco? Doesn't matter; we love them both!

Jeff Probst: Hosting a new show called Live Like You Were Dying. Except the people really are dying. That’s not, you know, sad, creepy or weird at all.

Gossip Girl: Meta quote of the episode: “Who watches TV on a TV anyway?” Ah, the good ol’ days.

Sarah Palin: Are some conservatives only backing her because she’s hot? Some people think so.

Nicole Richie: Quoted in PEOPLE: “I tell [babydaddy] Joel ‘Even when I’m really mad at you, I could never really hate you because you look like Harlow.” Now that’s what love and long-lasting relationships are built on!

SNL: The show has experienced a resurgence as of late but what will happen when the election is over?

James Franco: We just watched him in James Dean–the movie, not the person–and now we’re kind of obsessed. And then to find out how much he values education–he’s going for his masters–well, we just found our dreamboy!

SIZZLED OUT: Liz Smith

STILL SIZZLING: Which actor–who appeared in the closing minutes of the first film–will play a larger role in the Iron Man sequel?

I'm not Sharpay!

Eminem: Finally coming back on the radar. But not with new music but a memoir instead. He’s had an interesting public life thus far. We can’t wait to get more details!

Andy Dick: He gets to wear a new accessory for the next year: an alcohol monitor bracelet!

Prison Break: Rumor has it there are 3 deaths in the upcoming episodes. While we’re sad to see anyone go, maybe this means the show will finally have a simple plot.

Gossip Girl: Critics are saying it gets better with each episode–and the best is still yet to come. We totally disagree…and yet we can’t stop watching!

Chris Kilpatrick: Called ex-bandmate Lance Bance the worst dancer in NSYNC but also noted he’s “amazing” on DWTS. That’s sort of a compliment. Maybe. Kinda.

Ashley Tisdale: She’s said she wants to shed her HSM image. Step one: dying her hair. Weird to see her with this color when Seventeen has her on the cover of their new issue as a blonde.

The cast of All My Sons

Katie Holmes: Her short guest stint on Eli Stone will impact the whole season. And her Broadway show has officially opened. I don’t think Mrs. Tom Cruise needs anymore ego boosts.

John McCain: Admits he “screwed up” by backing out of his Letterman appearance last week. Let’s hope that isn’t something he ever has to admit again.

Travis Barker: Wrote on his blog that he should be coming home soon and can’t wait to be with his “babes.” We’re going to assume he meant babies and not, you know, babes. Warning: There is a somewhat grotesque of his burnt hand at the bottom of the entry. Look at your own risk.

OTH: We thought we saw the last of Lindsey (Michaela McManus). We haven’t. Shit.

Gossip Girl: The author of the book series has both love and hate for the TV show. Well, so do the rest of us.

Actors’ Strike: It’s becoming more and more likely as talks between SAG and the studios continue to break down. Time to take precautionary measures: stock up your TiVo!

Lilo and Saman: Lohan’s publicist deliberately said recently they weren’t dating. But when asked if they broke up, she said things are “fine.” So which is it?

STILL SIZZLING: Which actors have been going back and forth this week about a not-so-little thing called autism?

SIZZLED OUT: Demi Moore, mother of Rumer Willis

Hughley, Desperate Housewives, Ernie Lively, Everwood, Friends, Gale Harold, gossip girl, Kanye West, MLB, obama, OTH, Perez Hilton, Project Runway, Seth Rogen, Smallville, the o.c., The WB, World Series, Zack and Miri on October 16, 2008 by sizzlemaker

A, um, glimpse into Zack and Miri's pornography adventure.

CNN: A comedy show on CNN? It’s coming, and will be hosted by D.L. Hughley. Says the network: “When you watch as much news as our audience does, there comes a time you just want to stop and laugh.” As they say, if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry. Pretty true considering the current state of our country. Go for the giggles!

Seth Rogen: His new flick–Zack and Miri Make a Porno–is running into some marketing problems. Apparently a lot of places don’t want to advertise something so risque. That only makes us want to see it more!

Project Runway: Picked its fifth winner last night. This is getting old.

World Series: Rapidly approaching but the end might be getting farther. MLB says the sixth game might be delayed due to Obama’s purchase of air time.

CW: Stepping up their game with a whole slew of guest stars for November sweeps–including Perez Hilton?!

The WB: Our new favorite site. Watch full episodes of OTH, Everwood, The O.C., Smallville, Friends. The lists gone on and on! You MUST check it out!

More Crashes: Sadly, two more accidents happened this week. Both Blake Lively’s dad and Gale Harold (of Desperate Housewives) were both injured in car wrecks.

Kanye West: What’s a good way to demonstrate the raw, natural quality your new album? If you’re Kanye, that means having 30-plus completely naked women sitting on stage as the album plays. We think the connection is a bit of a stretch.

Danity Kane just got significantly less feminine.

Angelina Jolie: Admitted in a TV interview this morning that she and Brad are already considering adopting again. What, six kids aren’t enough?

Aubrey O’ Day: Kicked out of Danity Kane by Diddy because of “the person that fame has made her.” Guess she really is damaged.

Beyonce: Scheduled to perform on the last episode of TRL in November. Expect more goodies to be announced in the coming weeks.

Chris Kattan: Officially divorced from his wife after two months. Very unfunny for a supposedly funny man.

David Duchovny: AKA the recovering sex addict has confirmed he and his wife (actress Tea Leoni) are separated–and have been for several months.

TV Guide: Remember how we told you yesterday our beloved magazine was sold ? Now we have a price: a whopping…$1.

90210: Some people thought the only thing this “spin-off” had going for it was Jessica Walters as the boozy grandma. Well, no more. Or at least, significantly less. Walter has been demoted from from a regular to a recurring character. The reason: too much expense. The “consolation”: that Adrianna girl will now be a regular. Makes a lot of sense, doesn’t it?

Jason Priestley: Coming back to play Brandon. But not THEE Brandon. Just some new character with the same name on My Name is Earl. What a tease!

Best Week Ever: Not true for the multiple commentators that were fired. From now on, only one person will have the best week ever.

SIZZLED OUT: Gossip Girl

STILL SIZZLING: Which Hollywood mom recently said giving her daughter “motherly advice” included directing her in a short film?

A little less time, a little more music, please.

Madonna: Reports are swirling this morning that Madonna and Guy will announce the divorce that has been rumored for so long. Her rep declined comment–perhaps that means an official statement this afternoon? Check back later today for part 2!

Joe Manganiello: The actor–who plays Owen on One Tree Hill–has a legit Facebook profile. No shit.

James Van der Beek: The return of Dawson? Sort of. One Tree Hill creator, Mark Schwahn, has confirmed that the teen soap veteran will guest-star on a November ep, as a filmmaker. Kind of like Dawson, no?

Tim McGraw: He’s “embarrassed” that his record label put out another greatest hits album instead of new music. After all, he’s had THREE compilations out in the last 2 years. Time for new music is right!

Iron Man 2: Don Cheadle will be taking over Terrence Howard’s role. We don’t really know what that means considering we never saw Iron Man in the first place.

Matthew Perry: Showtime is making a show starring the former friend but we’re more excited to see him in 17 Again with Zac Efron!

Gossip Girl: Yalies are quite upset with their portrayal in Monday’s episode. Pretentious much?

TV Guide: The struggling mag has been sold to a private equity company. No word yet on what that means exactly for the magazine but hopefully it’ll stay around long enough for us to work there!

Fall Out Boy: New album pushed back to DECEMBER?! Blame the election.

SIZZLED OUT: Maureen McCormick (Marcia Brady)

STILL SIZZLING: If rumors of a funeral are true, New York City may get a little less crowded on this TV show.

We actually love the leggings AND the hair.

DJ AM: Will make his first post-crash DJ appearance tomorrow with Jay-Z. Good for him!

90210: Ratings from DVRs significantly boosted the show’s viewership. The downside? It means no one cares to watch the show the first time around. Can’t say we blame them.

Justin Timberlake: JT is in a election-state-of-mind. He attended an Obama rally and performed…wait for it…VOTE IN A BOX!

Blake Lively: Also apparently an Obama fan, as is boyfriend Penn Badgley. The two star in ad set to run on the CW, MTV and Comedy Central. Do celebs really influence how a person votes??

Lindsay Lohan: Launched her leggings line. Yes, leggings. And named after none other than Marilyn Monroe.

Madonna: Is it cool to wear part-shoe, part-gun on your feet? The Madge apparently thinks so.

We know you look best when your brooding but we can't take much more!

Hot and smart? What a combination!

AniMayer: Star and The National Enquirer are reporting that these two are back on. We’ll wait for more reliable sources before we comment.

Prison Break: Now we’ve watched the show since it began four years but if it gets any more complex, our heads are going to explode!

Gossip Girl: If you didn’t see last night’s ep, you missed some girl-on-girl fighting and Penn Badgley in nothing but his boxers. But it’s not too late to start watching: the CW has ordered two additional episodes for this season, making 24 in all.

Teen TV: Think the lead characters always go on to big careers? Think again.

Sophia Bush: In a new interview with CosmoGirl! (RIP), she says she only wants simple hang outs with friends “rather than dance on tables and have nine cocktails.” Hm, wonder who she’s referring to…

Living Lohan: Ali revealed to Seventeen there might be a second season. Brace yourselves.

Shannen Doherty: Worked out a deal to return to 90210 for two more episodes. Not sure how we feel about this considering we were never Brenda fans in the first place.

SIZZLED OUT: John Lennon

STILL SIZZLING: Which former child star says in her new memoir that she dated Michael Jackson, Steve Martin AND her on-screen sibling? That is one random bunch!
