Oprah Among Stars at Hudson Funeral

Jennifer Hudson's loved ones were laid to rest in a private funeral service today in Chicago -- and some of the biggest names in Hollywood were among the mourners.

"Extra" has confirmed that Oprah Winfrey attended to support Jennifer, and was reportedly joined by Queen Latifah, Ciara, Missy Elliott and Patti Labelle at the Apostolic Church of God today, where they honored Hudson's slain mother, brother and nephew. "American Idol" alum Fantasia Barrino sang.

Jennifer's fiancé, David Otunga, has been by her side since the awful events occurred.

Hudson's estranged brother-in-law, William Balfour, remains a person of interest in the shootings. He is currently jailed on a parole violation, but has not been charged with the shootings.


NEXT: Trick or Treat! It's Brad and Z

 

My prayers go out to Jennifer and family. I dont know what its like to lose close family members I havnt experienced that. But I know I will someday. Be strong and remember he’ll never put more on you than you can bear. Hes an awesome God and you’ll get through this in time. Take care and continue to make your family proud, there smiling down on you. God Bless Mekka Williams

It was a sad day for Jennifer and her family, but I’m glad she had her friends and family with her. But most of all, I’m glad her fans are supporting her as well. I don’t like to judge anyone, but I feel that Barack would of made a better speaker than Jesse Jackson. I feel that he only comes out and support black entertainers when he feels it can better him! To call him a Rev is a joke to me. But that’s how I feel. This is also a sad day for Barack, being that he just lost his grandmother. I will keep both him and Jennifer in my prayer’s at all times.


Ok family lets not forget to VOTE tomorrow! We can make the change if we all get out there and do it!

Barack is protected by many angels… so for those of you who feel you don’t want to vote to get him killed.
That’s not going to happen!

I can’t stress enough VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!
