Jennifer Hudson split from David Otunga after 10 years
JENNIFER HUDSON and David Otunga are ending their 10-year relationship. The exes got engaged in 2008 and share 8-year-old son David Jr.
Not only is the couple splitting, but the “Spotlight” singer has also received a protec-tive order against her ex.
In her request for a protective order, Jennifer Hudson accuses her ex-fi ance of ongoing harassing and threatening behav-ior and claims he once pushed her inside their home.
“I am now living in fear of further action David might take,” the “American Idol” alum, 36, says in the order of protection, obtained by TMZ. Otunga has denied any claims of abuse or harassment via his lawyer, who said he plans to fi le for pri-mary custody.
In a specifi c instance, Hudson claims Otunga, 37, called her repeatedly while she was at a recording session; when she didn’t pick up his calls, the star claims her ex then asked their 8-year-old son David Otunga Jr. to record the scene.
Hudson also reportedly claims in the legal docs Otunga believes she is dating one of her
producers, but she denies she is involved with anyone new. After she arrived home that day, Hudson says Otunga was “visibly”
angry and grabbed their son by the hand and pushed Hudson out of their master bedroom. The Oscar winner claims David Jr., a makeup artist and an assistant were all present during the incident.
The “Voice” coach also says the retired wrestler occasionally left a gun and holster — which he said was a movie prop — on their kitchen counter to intimidate her. “I believe that he left it out to taunt, intimi-date and frighten me, which he absolutely accomplished,” she reportedly claims in the papers.
About a month after becoming engaged in September 2008, Hudson’s mother, Darnell Donerson, and her brother Jason Hudson were found fatally shot in a Chicago home. Her 7-year-old nephew Julian King was found dead in the backseat of a car. Hud-son’s former brother-in-law William Balfour was convicted of the murders in 2012.
“Jennifer’s actions are solely taken in the best interest of their son,” her rep said in a statement regarding Hudson’s request for a protective order, which gives Hudson posses-
sion of their residence and orders him to stay away from her and their son. (SD-Agencies)

THE Justice League isn’t the only superteam in the spotlight this weekend.
With the fi rst trailer for “Incredibles 2,” Pixar is bringing back heroes that haven’t been seen on the big screen since the 2004 original, which is largely considered among the great superhero fi lms.
Director Brad Bird spoke about the fi lm earlier this year at D23, revealing how he’ll bring back husband and wife Mr. Incred-ible (Craig T. Nelson) and Elas-tigirl (Holly Hunter) and their children, Violet (Sarah Vowell), Dashiell (Huck Milner) and baby Jack Jack.
“It’s fundamentally a story about family,” Bird said, noting improved technology means they can do even more with the fi lm this time around. “The tech-nology has gotten so much better; we can get them close to what we wanted to do in the [original]. It’s like driving a better car.”
Samuel L. Jackson returns as Frozone, and Bird is reprising his role as Edna Mode.
Nicole Paradis Grindle and
John Walker are producing “Incredibles 2,” which is set for release June 15, 2018.

Pixar releases trailer for ‘Incredibles 2’
AC/DC co-founder and guitarist Malcolm Young has died after bat-tling dementia for several years, the band announced Saturday. He was 64.
Young died at home with his family at this bedside, the band said in a statement.
Young, along with his brother Angus, founded the legendary rock band in 1975 in Australia.
“Renowned for his musical prowess Malcolm was a song-writer, guitarist, performer, producer and visionary who inspired many,” the statement said. “From the outset, he knew what he wanted to achieve and, along with his younger brother, took to the world stage giving their all at every show. Nothing less would do for their fans.”
Young played rhythm guitar to Angus’ lead, and his driving riffs and mop-top hair were signatures of the band’s sound and image for decades.
Angus Young, in a separate statement added that Malcolm took “great pride in all that he endeavored.”
“His loyalty to the fans was unsurpassed,” he wrote. “As his brother it is hard to express in words what he has meant to me during my life, the bond we had was unique and very special. He leaves behind an enormous legacy that will live on forever.”
Young left AC/DC in 2014 after the band said he had been strug-gling with an undisclosed ailment, later revealed to be dementia. He was replaced by his nephew, Stevie Young, for the band’s world tour in 2015.
AC/DC was inducted in 2003 into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, which described its sound as “scorched-earth, metallic hard rock which has rarely deviated from a template of headbanging-inducing guitar riffs, fl ashy drums and banshee-yell vocals.”
“In the process, AC/DC have carved out a niche somewhere between hard rock and heavy metal that’s been an inspiration to aspiring musicians — and given us crank-up-the-volume radio staples ‘Back In Black,’ ‘Highway to Hell’ and ‘You Shook Me All Night Long’,” the hall of fame notes on its website.
The band is also one of the best-selling in music history, according to the Recording Industry Asso-ciation of America, having sold more than 70 million albums in the United States. (SD-Agencies)

DAVID CASSIDY, the wildly popular ’70s heartthrob who shot to fame when he starred and sang in TV’s “The Partridge Family,” is in critical condition with organ failure.
Cassidy is being treated at a Fort Lauderdale, Florida, area hospital, longtime publicist Jo-Ann Geffen said Saturday.
“He is conscious and sur-rounded by family and friends. Nothing is imminent and we are taking it day by day,” Geffen said.
She did not say what caused the organ failure.
Cassidy, 67, told People maga-zine earlier this year he was bat-tling dementia.
He said dementia runs in his family, affecting both his grand-father and his mother.
“The Partridge Family,” a sitcom about a mother and fi ve children who formed a rock ‘n’ roll band, gave Cassidy a national audience for his music. Cassidy, who played Keith Partridge on the show, captured the spirit of
1970s youth.His wispy voice and wholesome
persona broke out from the small screen. At the time, his fan club reportedly was bigger than those of Elvis Presley and The Beatles.
The singer toured the world singing his hit songs, such as “I Think I Love You,” fi lling concert halls with screaming teenage girls.
Cassidy has spoken publicly in recent years about his struggles with alcohol. He was arrested for driving under the infl uence on three separate occasions during a four-year span between 2010 and 2014. He said his trouble with alcohol was “very humbling and it’s also humiliating.”(SD-Agencies)
