JEALOUSY THE MOTIVE IN THE HUDSON MURDERS!
The man accused of killing Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother and seven-year-old nephew isn't getting out of jail anytime soon. A judge in Illinois denied bail for William Balfour, who prosecutors say killed Hudson's family because he was upset that his estranged wife, Jennifer's sister Julia Hudson, was dating other men. At a hearing yesterday, prosecutors say that on October 24th Balfour confronted Julia at her home, and then the pair left together. He later returned and committed the crimes. Prosecutors also say they found gunshot residue on the car that Balfour drove to the Hudson home. Balfour was charged Tuesday with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of home invasion. Balfour's lawyer says his client insists he's innocent.

K-FED TELLS HIS SIDE OF THE STORY!
Kevin Federline is telling his side of the Britney Spears saga to People magazine. He explains that once the pair decided to have kids, the marriage went south. "It's hard enough to be in a marriage, and then have a kid, then kids, it changes everything," explains Kevin. "For me, I'd become more concerned with my children. Not that I ignored Britney, but my kids are always most important ... I mean, we were having complications...I was trying to work stuff out with her, and she didn't even talk to me or anything and went behind my back and filed [for divorce]. [I was] completely blindsided." And despite claims that he tried to get a huge settlement from Britney after the split, Kevin swears his only concern was for his children. "My first question to [my lawyer] was, 'Am I ever going to be able to see my children?,'" explained K-Fed. "I told him that I would spend every last dime that I had to make sure that my children are okay. That's all that mattered." Kevin says that throughout all of Britney's problems, he never stopped being concerned for her, even when she locked herself in the bathroom with their son Jayden. "I was very, very worried for her 'cause I care about her. That's the mother of my children," he explained. "Just because I'm not in love with her doesn't mean that I don't love her. I'm definitely rooting for her."
