Devyn Simone - Real World Brooklyn Reunion

If you caught the Real World Brooklyn Reunion but haven't watched the latest season of the hit MTV reality show, you were introduced to the beautiful Devyn Simone. As of Thursday AM, Devyn Simone was the hottest search trend on Google, most likely with her newest fans searching for "what is Devyn Simone's phone number" or email address, or measurements. The sexy 21 year old Devyn appeared along with her former roommates Baya Voce, Chet, JD, Katelynn, Sarah, Ryan and Scott on the Brooklyn reunion show Wednesday night. As with other former guests of the Real World house, Devyn seems to have parlayed her appearance into further superstardom. On Devyn's Myspace page you can see various photos of her modeling as well as doing TV hosting gigs and appearing in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. The sexy Simone was a star before even joining the reality show's cast, as she was crowned Miss Missouri Teen 2005. Devyn who is originally from Kansas City, Missouri was working in New York as a public relations director for a fashion label called Jovani. This was going on just before the season premiere. According to the final episode of the show, Devyn was going to room with her fellow castmates Scott and Baya Voce in NYC. According to an interview Simone did earlier this year, she never finished college but instead has immersed herself in her career instead. As "The Pitch" puts it, it's like Devyn Simone was "drafted into the entertainment world". The Pitch: It's like you got drafted, but into the entertainment world. DS: Yeah! That's a good way to put it. It's like I got drafted. Who would turn that down? The pros say they want you, you're not going to be like, eh, let me finish. I told my parents that hopefully I won't have to. I mean, I think it's really important and I'd love to have a degree at some point, but just, in my nature, I'd so much rather be in my art than studying it. If you've got a spot, you better get in it and keep going. Now that the Brooklyn Real World Reunion has come and gone, Devyn can officially get her career in full gear. If worst comes to worst she can always choose the career path of former Real World star, Mike Mizanin who now works as a top star with the WWE/ECW as a pro wrestler.

Tragedy Strikes Hudson Family

Just days ago, unfortunate news hit the music world regarding Jennifer Hudson's family. Hudson's mother and brother were both found dead in their home in Chicago's South Side. Autopsies later revealed that both died due to multiple gunshot wounds. In addition to the horrific crime, Hudson's nephew, Julian King - age 7, is still missing. Another of Jennifer's sisters, Julia Hudson also lived at the address where the horrible crimes occurred but was not present at the time. The Times Online reported that during a recent press conference Julia pleaded for the return of the boy: “Give me my baby back,” she said. “That's all I ask. I know he's out there. Put him on the side of the street. Just let him go. I have to believe he is okay.” An initial suspect was William Balfour, the estranged husband of Julia Hudson — and step-father of Julian King. He is currently on probation after his 2006 release from the Illinois Dept. of Corrections. His previous convictions include attempted murder, vehicular hijacking, and possession of a stolen motor vehicle. His mother Michele Balfour has maintained that it's not possible her son would do this to Julia Hudson, because he loved her and her mother. Police issued an Amber Alert this past Friday, and have requested the help of the FBI, in case the child was taken across state lines. It's a perplexing, tragic and horrifying case for Hudson's family. The former American Idol star and Oscar winning actress had to come home to unfortunate circumstances. Hudson had to rush from Florida to Chicago to identify her two deceased family members. She is currently promoting a new film, The Secret Life of Bees. Jennifer Hudson's Myspace blog reveals the following message from the Hudson family thanking the many people for their support despite this tragic situation: Thank you all for your prayers and your calls. Please keep praying for our family and that we get Julian King back home safely. If anyone has any information about his whereabouts please contact the authorities immediately. Here is a picture of Julian and what he was last seen wearing. Once again thank you all for being there for us through this tough time. Sincerely, The Hudson Family
