Jennifer Hudson spent her Wednesday night like most Oscar winners -- by watching a bunch of hot, sweaty, dudes in Speedos roll around in the ring.

Hudson went to the Florida Championship Wrestling event last night to watch her fiance, stage name Dawson Alexander, Esq, throw down -- and definitely enjoyed a few of the sights fights.

Jennifer Hudson appeared on Oprah today for the first time since her family tragedy back in October -- and while she didn't directly mention the events, she says she's doing "good" and music's been her "therapy."

Hudson performed on the show too. She totally nailed it.

As Jennifer Hudson landed in Tampa for the Super Bowl, there's a boatload of money on the line over her rendition of the National Anthem at Sunday's game.

Jennifer has sung that song before and always goes 2 minutes and 3 seconds -- from sea to shining sea. The bet: How long will she go this time?

Jennifer Hudson was scheduled to begin shooting the video for her next single, "If It Isn't Love" next week, but has put the brakes on going back to work.
Reports surfaced earlier this week that JHud had decided to return to work, because she had been on hiatus since the October killings of her mother, brother and nephew. A source tells Us Weekly, "The video was set up before the tragedy and she felt like she should finish what she started, but she's realized that she's not ready to go back to work."
A rep for Hudson, however, calls the original video plans speculation. Jennifer's brother-in-law William Balfour was officially charged with the murders December 2.

The Cook County state's attorney's office has just officially charged William Balfour with the murders of Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother and nephew.
He's been charged with three counts of first degree murder and one count of home invasion.
Balfour is scheduled for a bond hearing at noon Central time tomorrow.
UPDATE 4:21 ET: In their presser, which just ended, the State's Attorney and cops said they're "confident" about their case, which some unnamed sources have claimed is "mainly circumstantial." They said they do have physical evidence tying Balfour to the scene, and emphasized they did not cut a deal with Balfour's girlfriend to elicit her testimony.

William Balfour is flat out denying any involvement with the Hudson family triple murders -- and in today's parole hearing, officials say Balfour seemed "disturbed" by his girlfriend's accusation she saw him with a gun similar to the murder weapon.

According to Illinois Prisoner Review Board Chairman Jorge Montes, Balfour will remain in jail until at least December 3. The decision was based on the alleged gun connection as well as probable cause on a number of other alleged parole violations.

William Balfour -- the only suspect in the Hudson triple murder case -- allegedly told his current girlfriend he was involved in the murders of Hudson's mother and brother, according to sources at the Chicago Tribune.
Balfour's girlfriend in turn told police what he told her. The Tribune also cites sources saying Balfour "acknowledged being at Hudson's Englewood home" on the morning Jennifer Hudson's mother and brother were shot to death inside, and Jen's nephew was abducted and later killed.
These are incredible statements considering William -- who has not been charged with a crime -- could be released tomorrow morning pending a decision by the Illinois Prisoner Review Board on whether he violated the terms of his parole.
Chicago police refused to comment.

The Cook County Medical Examiner told us Jennifer Hudson showed up to identify the bodies of her mother, Darnell, and brother Jason.
It's "standard operating procedure" for a family member to do this, but that doesn't mean it's easy.
UPDATE: William Balfour is now under the custody of the Illinois Department of Corrections. Cops told us the IDOC have taken Balfour for breaking the terms of his parole.
The nature of the violations are unclear, but we're told that although Balfour is in the custody of the IDOC, the "homicide investigation is still active and ongoing."

William Balfour, the suspect in the double murder of Jennifer Hudson's mother and brother, seems to trade on the fame of Jennifer but doesn't want others to, at least according to his Myspace page.
Calling himself "FLEX A MILLION", Balfour says:
I AM A 26 YEAR OLD, I RESIDE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF CHICAGO, I HAVE A WIFE HER NAME IS JULIA, AND I ALSO HAVE A 6 YR OLD STEPSON, I DON'T TOLERATE BULLSHIT, SO DON'T COME TO ME WITH IT, I LIKE TO LIVE LIFE AND EXPERIENCE EVERYTHING THATS WHY I'M HERE SEEING WHAT IT'S ABOUT, I MIGHT AS WELL LET YOU ALL KNOW THAT JENNIFER HUDSON IS MY WIFE'S SISTER I'M PROUD OF HER AND WISH HER NOTHING BUT THE BEST IN WHAT SHE DO BUT DON'T HIT ME UP ASKING BOUT HER, OTHER THAN THAT IT'S ON!
William also lists himself as a "proud parent". His 7 year-old step son is still missing.

If a pap told Ali Lohan that the word "Gullible" was written on her forhead, she may fall for it.
Also in NY: Ali's dad Michael did some rumor control, Donald Faison gave Pete & Ashlee's wedding a big thumbs up, J-Hud was Switzerland over her "Idol" favorite and Usher hit up his fans.
In L.A.: Nicole Richie hid in Joel's backseat, Alan Arkin pretended to be a foreigner, Kenny G was asked the same question we always ask him and Ben Kingsley was in too much of a rush to give us another rendition of "Gimme More."
