Jennifer Hudson Going Back To Work
NEW YORK — Jennifer Hudson is getting back to work.
The singer is set to begin filming a video next week for her single, "If This Isn't Love," according to her label, J Records.
Hudson was due to film the clip in Los Angeles when her mother, Darnell Hudson Donerson, and brother, Jason Hudson, were discovered shot to death in their Chicago home on the city's South Side on Oct. 24. The body of her nephew, 7-year-old Julian King, was found in a sport utility vehicle three days later.
Hudson's estranged brother-in-law, William Balfour, who is married to Hudson's sister Julia, has been charged in the slayings. Prosecutors have said Balfour was upset Julia had been dating another man.
Hudson has been in seclusion since the killings. However, she has thanked the public for their support since the tragedy, and last week issued a statement after she was nominated for four Grammy awards, including best R&B album for her self-titled debut.
"It's been a childhood dream of mine to release an album, so to receive four Grammy nominations is truly a blessing," she said. "I am extremely honored and humbled by the nominations."
Hudson _ also an Academy Award-winning actress _ was reaching a new career peak at the time of the killings. She had just released her first CD, and was also starring in the movie "The Secret Life of Bees." She was featured in the summer blockbuster "Sex and the City" and sang the national anthem the night President-Elect Barack Obama accepted the Democratic presidential nomination in Denver.
She has recently been featured in ads for the Gap, but those images were shot well before the murders.
