10. She won an Oscar for Dreamgirls
and, it just so happens, sang the Star Spangled Banner at the Democratic Convention the night Obama made his acceptance speech.

12. Also had a role in the "Sex and the City" movie, and I think she's also in
"the secret life of bees". Wonderful actress and a great singer.

17. I'm so sad to hear this
I was so happy to see her success. She's very talented and was such an underdog after losing on American Idol (most people just disappear after the show). Stay strong Jennifer :)

18. Balfour now in custody, but nephew is still missing
According to published reports, William Balfour has been taken into custody, but he has not been charged.

Police spokeswoman Monique Bond told AP that investigators were talking to "a number of people in custody" but she declined to elaborate.
...
The boy could be in a 1994 white Chevrolet Suburban, authorities said at an evening news conference.

The alert said King could also be in a teal or green Chrysler Concorde with a temporary license plate, a left front headlight hanging out and scratches on the left side of the vehicle.
