Jennifer Hudson Kicks Ass
Jennifer Hudson has hit a career milestone that very few have. Last night she accomplished an EGOT after winning an award at the Tony’s. An EGOT is when an artist has won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award. Meaning: They’ve blown everyone away in movies, television, music, and broadway. Her co-producing role in the musical A Strange Loop, which won best musical, is what gave her this official title. Less than 20 people have accomplished the same thing. She won her Oscar for best supporting actress in Dreamgirls, two Grammys for best R&B album in 2009 and best musical theater album for the musical The Color Purple in 2017, and an Emmy for voice acting and co-producing Baba Yaga last year. She is the fifth woman to achieve this and only the third person of color. Congrats to Jennifer Hudson for making history!

Justin Bieber Explains Show Cancellations
Justin Bieber took to his socials to explain why he was having to cancel upcoming shows. The singer is experiencing paralysis on one side of his face due to Ramsay Hunt syndrome. In the video he shows that he cannot blink one eye, smile on the same side, or move that nostril. He said he has been doing exercises for his face to help him recouperate and he seems to be confident he will make a recovery. Ramsay Hunt syndrome is a virus that stems from Shingles and affects your nerves. This isn’t the first health scare the Biebers have had this year. Justin’s wife Hailey announced that she had to have surgery due to a hole in her heart that had caused her to have mini strokes. We are wishing Justin a speedy recovery!
