In saddening celebrity news, Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson's mother and brother were reportedly found shot to death in their Chicago home Friday afternoon (October 24).
According to breaking reports, the Cook County medical examiner’s office said officials were dispatched to a South Side home where the bodies of a man and a woman were found, with police saying they believe the shooting was a domestic incident.
“Officers responded to a call of two people found unresponsive,” Chicago Police Department spokesman John Mirabelli told Us magazine. “They discovered a male and a female that had sustained fatal gunshot wounds.”
“Right now, our investigation is a double homicide,” the spokesman adds. “We understand family members are on the scene.”
Update: Talking to People magazine, Jennifer’s rep Lisa Kasteler said, “We can confirm that there is an ongoing investigation concerning the deaths of Jennifer Hudson’s mother, Darnell Donerson, and her brother, Jason Hudson. No further comment will be made and the family has asked that their privacy be respected at this difficult time.”
My thoughts and prayers are with you Jennifer and your family.
Who doesn't love a little sparkle? Rich Girl favorite Kenneth Jay Lane has created another must-have. His Crystal Stone Ring is ornate and dramatic.

Add a bit of glamour to even your simplest outfits with this attention grabbing cocktail ring. 
The lovely and uber fashionable Victoria Beckham graces the November 2008 cover of Vogue India. Victoria rocked some extension for the shoot, and Rich Girl loved her look. I say she return to long tresses!
At first glance what I love about this top has to be it's ethereal, blush tone. It's clean, simple, almost architectural lines are distinctly different from much of whats out there. The cowl neck at the back offers a sexy subdued hint at whats underneath, all while remaining fiercely sophisticated. Mix this blouse with your dark denim skinnys or with black trousers and a black blazer. It's a beautiful, must-have piece. 
With the economy in it's current state, it is safe to say every girl is looking for a break on her (no doubt fabulous) wallet. Rich Girl will be bringing you fabulous pieces that any fashionista will love, on a recessionista budget.
