Jennifer Hudson certainly isn't taking the gradual approach to coming back after enduring the murder of her mother, brother, and nephew.

The NFL confirms Hudson will be singing the national anthem at the Super Bowl on Feb. 1, marking her first appearance in public since the killings last fall. Then, she'll sing at the Grammys' MusiCares event a few days later.

Charles Barkley must really be choking on his words now -- because T-Mobile is discontinuing its Sir Charles commercials due to his infamous DUI-for-the-sake-of-oral-sex fiasco.

A spokesperson for T-Mobile -- which features Barkley in its Fave 5 ads -- said: "Given the recent developments, for the time being, we've replaced TV ads featuring Mr. Barkley with more general-market advertising. As he works through his personal matters, we will evaluate where to go from here."

After the Giants lost to the Eagles this weekend, some drunken dumbass went to the Giants Stadium parking lot and tried to take out his frustration on an SUV that accidentally had been set on fire in a freak tailgating mishap earlier in the day.

But when the dust settled, the burned out car stood victorious.

Eddy Curry -- the New York Knicks center who's played a total of two minutes this year -- is being whistled by his ex chauffeur for a touch foul ... and much, much more.

In an insane lawsuit, Curry's driver, David Kuchinsky, alleges the baller repeatedly tried to make him handle his genitals while in the buff, saying, "Look at me, Dave, look" and "Come and touch it, Dave." He's also alleged to have called the driver "a cracker" and "white devil" and "grandmaster of the KKK."

And speaking of weapons, Curry's also accused of pointing a fully loaded gun at the driver.

Last night, Curry denied the charges -- "It's false, and everyone who knows me knows I'm not a racist. I've never made a comment like that, playing, or nothing ... That's incredible, man."

Also: Strip clubs aren't the same thing as regular clubs -- otherwise, they'd just be called "clubs" too.

In less than two weeks, you'll be playing your Nintendo Wii with a bunch of your buddies while Barack Obama will be playing his -- as president.

The New York Times reports Barack has been spending time with his daughter's Christmas gift mastering some virtual bowling.

With the success Obama has had with Wii bowling -- let's hope his work on a prosperous economic stimulus plan goes just as smoothly.

Bush, who is recovering from microfracture surgery on his left knee, may want to let this one slide.

It was only a matter of time until Charles Barkley's DUI arrest had serious repercussions for the NBA star.

Barkley will take a leave of absence from TNT for a minimum of several weeks with no return date set, a source told the AP. David Levy, president of TNT Sports, released a statement that reads in part, "When I spoke with Charles, he was apologetic for the events that transpired and it was obvious he understands the significance of the situation. This is an important time for Charles as he deals with the legal and personal issues that confront him. Charles is a valued part of the Turner Sports organization and we are concerned for his well-being."

On the audio tape captured by Gilbert P.D., Barkley can be heard counting his steps during the "walk-the-line test," losing his focus during the "raise-your-leg-and-count-to-30 test" and sternly refusing to take a breath test because he claimed his bodyguard told him not to.

The audio tape also captured that special moment when a cop reads Sir Charles his Miranda rights.

Charles Barkley had booze in his blood on the night he was busted for DUI, this according to the cops who nailed the basketball star last month.

Cops say Barkley's blood alcohol level was .149 -- nearly twice the legal limit in Arizona.

The BAC number came from a blood test taken in the field, when Barkley refused the Breathalyzer.

All that greasy body oil and pomade really can make a steering wheel slippery.

According to The Smoking Gun, this bizarre chairlift mishap left the Vail skier dangling head over heels for 15 minutes freezing his ass off -- for reals!

Employees of the Blue Sky Basin eventually got the man down before he could fall through the, er, crack.
