Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson and her family have suffered the most horrific of tragedies this past week. But in honor of their slain family members — Jennifer’s mom Darnell Hudson Donerson, brother Jason Hudson and nephew Julian King — they’ve created a new foundation to help other families of murder victims. “The specific purpose of the Hudson-King Foundation for Families of Slain Victims is to care for the needs of families who have lost relatives to a violent crime,” the family said in a statement yesterday. “This encompasses their basic needs of food, clothing and shelter as well as grief counseling.”

Donations to the Hudson-King Foundation can be sent:

As we mentioned yesterday, amidst break-up 'rumors' Peter Andre landed in Los Angeles earlier in the week without his wife, former glamour model Jordan.

And, no surprise, divorce speculation ran rampant because of Petey's solo stint and other "troubles" in their marriage made public recently.

Well, there's an interesting turn of events to report.

The UK's Daily Mail spotted an LA-bound Jordan at Heathrow on Friday.

We're sure boobs and orange man are going to stink LA up with a lot of staged PDA for photogs this weekend.

Ewwwwww!

This is somewhat shocking, funny, and yet sad at the same time.

A resident of Chapel Hill, N.C., was very upset that someone kept stealing his McCain-Palin campaign signs from his yard.

So, Shawn Turschak decided to do something about it! And, being an electrical engineer really helped.

Earlier this week, Turschak decided to hook up a third sign to a power source belonging to an electric pet fence. He also hooked up a surveillance camera to catch the thief.

And, to everyone's surprise, this time around it was a 9 year-old boy, with an Obama-Biden sign in his hand, that grabbed the McCain sign and got a jolt of electricity.

The child's father is upset that his son got shocked, so he showed up at Turschak's door along with an Orange County Sheriff.

As for the boy's dad, he says his kid just wanted to see how the sign was put together.

Riiiiiight.

Turschak says the boy intended to swap out the signs.

But, in Turschak's defense, he did put up signs warning of electrical shocks.

No charges are said to be filed and Turschak did remove the electric shockers.

The following day, though, his camera caught another person stealing another McCain-Palin sign off his property!

CLICK HEREto see footage of the kid getting shocked. Thankfully it wasn't anything hurtful, but we doubt the kid will be trespassing again anytime soon.

The ladies of The View have reached new heights!

According to the just-released ratings, the week of October 20th was its most-watched week (4.24 million in total viewers) in show history!

This is - in part - thanks to controversial TV pundit Bill O'Reilly's appearance on October 20th.

The Bill O. show was one of its 10 most-watched shows historically.

How will they keep ratings up post-elections?

P.S. We gotta give big props to Elisabeth Hasselbeck. She's like the Sarah Palin of daytime TV!
