Jay-Z bonking Rihanna pushed her in that direction, but Jennifer Hudson winning that Oscar made her insanity ascend to homicidal levels. You could see the madness in her eyes as she stormed the red carpet in an seafoam...

"If I could sit down with Presidents Bush and Calderon in Merida, I would say, 'Look, if you want to reduce illegal immigration then help us for once build a financial system where those migrants come from,'" says Isabel Cruz, director of the Mexican Association of Social Sector Credit Unions in Mexico City.
