Today, the news was the worst possible for Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Hudson, an impossibly talented and obviously lovely singer and actress, and her sister, after the body of her seven-year-old nephew was found after an intense search of the Chicago area. Hudson used her MySpace page to encourage fans to help in the now tragically-ended search for the boy, and news stories broke all day long. Her mother and brother were also found murdered in their home several days ago. No surprise, Internet video is popping up all over, many in the form of condolences to Hudson in the form of songs and music mashups.
