Has anyone been following this story? It's probably the saddest thing I've heard in a long time. Her mother and brother were murdered today, and her 7 year old nephew is missing, possibly kidnapped...I can't believe this.
She's the singer/actress who starred as Effie on Dreamgirls...she was also on American Idol at one point and just released an album and is in a new movie called "The Secret Life of Bees"
