This has got to be the toughest gig of Jennifer Hudson's life.
Jury selection kicked off Monday in the Chicago murder trial of William Balfour, the singer's brother-in-law who allegedly shot and killed her mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew during a rampage in October 2008.
But with news that Hudson plans to attend every day of what's likely to be a three-week court drama, legal experts say her star power could play a key role in the proceedings—but not necessarily for the better.

Best & Worst of the 2012 NAACP Image Awards: Whitney Tribute! George Lucas! The Help!
There were no Ricky Gervais-style antics tonight.
While always served up with a dose of humor, the NAACP Image Awards is a show with a purpose—in addition to celebrating stars, the ceremony honors entire cultures and the accomplishments and contributions they've made, not just over the past year, but over the past 100 years.
So there were obviously plenty of feel-good moments to highlight. It was a little difficult, however, to single out so-called "worst" moments from a ceremony conducted in such earnestness.
But we did anyway!

Jennifer Hudson Performs Pitch-Perfect Whitney Houston Tribute at Grammys

Where do broken hearts go, indeed.
The 54th Annual Grammy Awards had already started off in singular fashion, with LL Cool J offering up a prayer for the late, beyond-great Whitney Houston following Bruce Springsteen's show-opening performance.
But the most wrenching, yet paradoxically uplifting, moment of the night belonged to Jennifer Hudson, who overnight was tasked with presiding over the musical tribute to Houston, who died just yesterday afternoon.

Morning Mail! What's So Special About Blake Lively?!
Anthony Behar/Sipa Press
Dear Ted:
Blake Lively. I agree she's very pretty. But I don't think she's really anything special compared to some actresses. Then again, all she seems to be known for these days is who she is dating and not what she's doing professionally, right?
—Dollie
Dear Social Climber?:
Here's the thing, doll, while Blake seems all too eager to be spotted locking lips with Ryan Reynolds, we can't figure out what the babe really wants in this biz. Girl used to be so mum when it came to her men. And now? She gets all candid dishing out deets on all four of her beaus. We say pick a persona already, B. Trust, we'll love you just the same.
Dear Ted:
Yes of course Rooney Mara is more desirable than Kristen Stewart. Rooney Mara has talent.
—Steffi
