Breaking News on Broken Hearts

Not only does it seem incredibly wrong that William Balfour, the man who is suspected of killing Jennifer Hudson’s mother, brother, and nephew, may just be set back free on the streets again as soon as tomorrow but it also seems as though this release comes on the heels of a reported confession. Apparently, Balfour told his girlfriend exactly what he was going to do and it was she who told police what he had said his plans were. From TMZ,

“William Balfour — the only suspect in the Hudson triple murder case — allegedly told his current girlfriend he was involved in the murders of Hudson’s mother and brother, according to sources at the Chicago Tribune.

Balfour’s girlfriend in turn told police what he told her. The Tribune also cites sources saying Balfour “acknowledged being at Hudson’s Englewood home” on the morning Jennifer Hudson’s mother and brother were shot to death inside, and Jen’s nephew was abducted and later killed.

These are incredible statements considering William — who has not been charged with a crime — could be released tomorrow morning pending a decision by the Illinois Prisoner Review Board on whether he violated the terms of his parole.”

I suppose we can only pray that the courts do the right thing and find that he has in fact violated his parole -even though he hasn’t officially been found guilty of committing these heinous crimes. It would be nice to see him go away for a very long time not only to make him pay for what he has done but to also possibly provide what little peace can be taken for Jennifer Hudson and her family. The last heard on Jennifer was that she is still in hiding due to the fact that it’s believed that Balfour killed her family members in order to get to her. Apparently, she is staying in a hotel in an undisclosed location. There’s no hope for this story to have a fair ending but the best hope one can have is for the story to have an ending soon, so the family may find peace and begin to move forward.

Some relationships are just too hot to hold onto and some are just destined for failure because it contains two not-very-good people. Both seem to be the case when talking about Balthazar Getty and Sienna Miller, who made headlines this past summer as two super-hot homewreckers who were screwing around on Getty’s wife, Rosetta, until the high publicity forced Getty to announce that the two were getting separated. From The Inquisitr,

“Sienna Miller has confirmed that she is single again saying she is completely happy with that. This means that her relationship with Brothers and Sisters star Balthazar Getty, is officially over.

Sienna said at the Hollywood Dominoes VIP Launch in London on Friday, “It’s nice not to have a relationship that the press constantly want to scrutinize and discuss. I’m cool with being on my own.”

Miller’s much publicized relationship with Getty came to the world’s attention when Getty, who was married at the time was photographed in July kissing a topless Sienna on a boat off the coast of Italy.”

There seem to be many different reasons for the split, including the high media attention and the fact that Sienna wanted the happy couple to live in London while Getty insisted that he needed to stay in the States, close to his four boys. It’s also rumored that Miller wanted Getty to get a divorce and that he refused to but I have trouble swallowing that one on the simple grounds that he’s already separated from her. Whatever the reason is, this is one more point for the good guys of the world as we see that what goes around comes around and that people always seem to get theirs. I don’t think many people wanted this relationship to work out and will be happy that it didn’t.

After a busy week showing up at Dodger Stadium to perform with Madonna, which was also the first public performance she has given since her embarrasment at last year’s MTV Awards, Britney Spears took a little chill time with both of her boys as she packed them up and took them to her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana, where her mother and sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, live with along with Jamie Lynn’s little one, Maddie Briann. The reunion seemed to be a very happy one as the whole family, including brother Brian, is taking some time to reconnect. From Just Jared,

“Britney Spears takes her two sons — Sean Preston, 3, and Jayden James, 2 — home to Kentwood, Louisiana on Friday morning. The trio was accompanied by Britney’s older brother Brian and father Jamie.

They were all greeted at the airport by Britney’s mother Lynne. Britney, 26, and the kids are expected to stay in town for a week for a little family bonding.”

Once again, it’s nice to see Britney taking some time to show her boys what’s really important in life and this does just prove that she is off the road of recovery and has made it back to the land of the living. I’m glad that she’s better now but I wish she’d at least start seeing someone so we’d have something more interesting to talk about rather than just her family visits and great performances. But I suppose with the past couple of years that she’s had, it wouldn’t be a bad thing for her to stay boring Britney for a little while longer.

Charlie Sheen is just like that guy we all knew going through high school - he’s good looking, he’s charming, he’s arrogant as hell, and he thinks that the world is his champagne glass here for him to drink from it. Everyone knows that he has gone through his own life leaving some of it rather tainted and I think the general public had even started to like him. He’s married now…not to a psycho this time…he’s got kids and more on the way…It seemed as though his troubled past was finally behind him and he may actually be starting to think like a grown up and settle down. But sadly, this is not the case.

Brooke Mueller, Charlie’s new wifey and the Two and a Half Men star have just recently come out announcing that not only are they expecting but it’s to be twins, and with the help of a few scientific advancements they will most likely be boys. So what better time is there than to fly to Las Vegas for a good old-fashioned weekend hangin with the boys and getting lapdances?! Yep, Charlie Sheen sickens me and this is why. From Celebrity Dirty Laundry,

“Star magazine is reporting that bad boy & reformed playboy Charlie Sheen fled to Las Vegas on Oct. 25 to blow off steam — leaving his wife who is preggers at home. Apparently, he certainly wasn’t looking like a married man with twin sons on the way as he surrounded himself with pretty young women, partied with Spin City costar Michael Boatman at Privé and got lap dances at the strip club Spearmint Rhino. I guess a leopard does not change his spots! “He’s still carrying on and boozing,” a source tells Star.

His weekend away from Brooke did more harm than good for his marriage. When she got wind of what Charlie was up to in Las Vegas, “she went off the deep end,” and told Charlie to either Shape Up or GET OUT!”

Now, I’m fairly liberal in my thinking when it comes to married men and strip clubs. I don’t think that they are forbidden places and by simply thinking of entering one, a man has already cheated on his wife. I do however, don’t feel that it is necessary for a married man to be getting lapdances at strip clubs and I don’t think it’s necessary to go to a strip club at all when you’re wife is at home growing babies. The nine months of pregnancy are a special form of punishment for a woman and the husband needs to be by her side taking care of her whenever he possibly can. And good Lord, what was he thinking pissing off a pregnant woman?!? Not smart, Charlie. Not smart at all.

Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee are just about one of the most messed up couples in all of Hollywood. They were married, they were divorced, they were just living together recently…and in between all of it, they had two sons in the mix. It’s funny how when selfish people do stupid things, they don’t realize that it could one day come back to bite them in the butt but it’s even funnier when celebrities do them - because then it always comes back to bite them in the butt. But I’d be laughing a little bit harder if the people that were paying the price weren’t their kids, Brandon and Dylan.

As Pamela and Tommy’s kids grow older and their friends and fellow students at school start to learn about the past of their parents, that has been broadcasted for the whole world to know, those same friends have started making fun of the boys, mainly for the sex tape that their parents created during their honeymoon. From Celebitchy,

“Pamela Anderson says her wild past is starting to come back to haunt her and her children. The former Baywatch babe - who has two sons with ex-husband Tommy Lee - says her boys are being teased by their classmates over her colorful past and her sex tape shame with their father.

She says, “They’re starting to get to that age where they are defending mommy.

“Brandon was upset yesterday because some kids said some things at school. Kids can be so mean but I knew this would come.

“I just explained that we are good people and we’ve never done anything to hurt anyone. I just want them to enjoy school and enjoy life.

“They’ve seen a lot in their little lives but they’re great kids.”

I think it’s terrible that any child has to ‘defend Mommy’ and this should prove to Pamela that all of her stupid actions truly do have consequences. I’ve questioned many of her parenting moves, including taking the boys to the Playboy Mansion every Easter as a nice family tradition. She’s also talked in the past about how they have questioned her appearance in ‘Uncle Hef’s’ magazine, where she posed completely nude. Nice. There’s no doubt that these kids already have a tough road to hoe ahead of them but couldn’t the parents at least try to shelter them from it a little bit? I’m glad that they’re good people and don’t try to hurt anyone but I think Pam is hurting her kids far more than she knows.

And good for them too, it’s about time that somebody stopped Madonna from doing whatever she wanted whenever she wanted to do it. It seems as though this big, ugly divorce that Madge asked for so that she could reap the benefit through ticket and album sales has not only totally backfired on her in the way of losing some fans but the whole mess has also intruded into her other personal decisions…such as her most recent decision to adopt a child from Malawi. It seems that although the adoption has been in the works for quite some time, the Malawi government won’t allow children to be adopted by families that are ‘broken.’ From Now,

“Madonna’s divorce from Guy Ritchie has put paid to her plans to adopt from Malawi again, according to the country’s Child Welfare Services director. The Material Girl has long shown an interest in giving a home to orphan Mercy James, who she first met at an orphanage in 2006.

But Malawian official Penston Kilembe says the split with Guy, 40, means the adoption cannot be approved.

‘One fundamental condition in scrutinising adoptions is the connectedness of a family,’ he says. ‘We can’t approve a child to go into a broken family because the divorce could be the result of the behaviour of the party trying to adopt. Madonna should forget this one.’”

I found the Now article quoted in a Celebitchy article and Celebitchy also stated that Mercy’s extended family didn’t want the child to be taken out of the country - with Madonna or anybody else and although the courts were trying to persuade them to allow Madonna to have her anyway. The unfortunate part is that it seems as though Mercy’s own family can’t adopt the little girl and so hopefully this doesn’t do her any harm in trying to find a good home.

Madonna made controversial headlines last year when she adopted David Banda from Malawi last year. That adoption made major headlines when Madonna was accused of buying the adoption instead of following strict rules that are otherwise set in place. Well it seems it won’t be a problem this time around as someone finally tells Madge that she can’t have it all!

Even though Ash Wentzday sort of bother me, I can’t help but appreciate how this young couple has kept a low profile after their wedding, and after announcing the news that they were expecting. I have to admit, I totally thought that these two were going to exploit the crap out of the situation but they have indeed proved me wrong!

And here we are about six months later and Ashlee Simpson looks due to give birth any day now! Of course the family is beside themselves with excitement and her dad can’t help but boast about how proud he is of his little girl. Aw! From Celebrity Baby Scoop,

“Joe Simpson says his while daughter Ashley may only be 24, finding out she was pregnant turned her into a full-fledged grown up!

“The day she found out she was pregnant, she became a woman,” Joe Simpson tells PEOPLE. “She’s concerned about what she eats and how she prepares for the child and [details like], is the baby’s room ‘green’ enough?” he explains. “It’s a transformation you never expect as a parent – you pray for it, but never expect it. She’s ready for this baby!”

I even like Ashlee’s style a little better these days. She’s still the kind of hippie/vintage chick that she wants to be but like her dad says, it does seem to be in a bit of a more sophisticated manner. I guess my next question is, ‘Why’s she with that idiot?’ Oh, that’s not nice, shame on me!

Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams have broken up. I really hope that this time, these two see that they really aren’t meant to be together. I’m sorry to all those people who really wanted this on-screen romance to turn into a life-long marriage but this one just wasn’t meant to happen. I admit that it seemed like a great love story, and they even made a good go of it when they first began dating in 2004 right after filming The Notebook together. They broke up 3 years later and to the great joy of fans, got back together this past July. But it seems that what fuels the obvious fire between these two may just be some bitter sparks that they can’t get past. From the SFGate,

“The pair began dating first time around after meeting on the set of the 2004 movie “The Notebook.”

They split in 2007, but reconciled in July and were soon spotted smooching at a restaurant in Toronto, Canada.

But friends claim the relationship has hit the rocks again.

A source tells Us Weekly, “Rachel is too controlling. They broke up the first time because of their busy schedules — and that’s the problem again.”

Yep, it’s time to lay this one to rest, kids. It just ain’t gonna work.

At first I just thought that Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel were a boring couple but it turns out that the more they stayed out of the headlines, the happier I should have been because the more these two open their mouths, the more I’m amazed at how dumb they are. First Jessica brings up nude pictures that she had taken of herself when she was young and then says that she regrets having them done. But the thing is, she brought those photos up for seemingly no reason whatsoever. I didn’t even know that she had photos like this and thanks to her, now I do. From The Evil Beet,

“Jess told Entertainment Weekly, in a new interview, that she regrets the shoot, done when she was only 17 years old.

“That photo shoot was just a really bad decision on my part and I got myself involved with people who weren’t thinking about me and were instead thinking about what kind of a story they could get out of it,” she said. “I learned a whole lot from the experience, so it was definitely a blessing in disguise.”

So after hearing this about her, I am kind of hoping that her oh-so-serious boyfriend, Justin Timberlake has something a little more interesting and intelligent to say. Turns out, it’s a no-go there as well. But you have to hand it to JT - he not only says stupid things but, he actually insults his fans while doing it! Aw, that’s swell. From US,

“Don’t ask Justin Timberlake if he’s planning on wedding Jessica Biel.

While unveiling Callaway Golf’s new FT- IQ Driver Friday in NYC, reporters asked him whether there were “any wedding bells” in his future.

“Now that’s a dumb question,” he replied.”

Uuuummmm….Justin? The reason why reporters ask those questions is because that’s what your fans want to know. Your fans…are the people who buy your records. So your best bet is not to insult them by calling them stupid. I realize that there’s no way he’s going to reveal those details to the media before discussing it with her and I’m sure that when these two do eventually get married, the ceremony will be long since past when we finally hear about it but really…there’s no need to be demeaning.

It seems as though the split that happened between David Duchovny and his wife, Tea Leoni, may become null and void after all. It was only late last month that the two announced that they were getting a divorce, after David’s release from a sexual addiction rehab center. When that story was announced, David’s tennis coach was being blamed for the marriage falling apart. Apparently David had been getting a few extra lessons on the side. So whether that relationship dissolved as well or whether something else is going on, this is what Digital Spy has to say about it,

“David Duchovny and Téa Leoni have reportedly reconciled their marriage.

The pair were allegedly spotted looking “very mellow and relaxed” while taking their children trick-or-treating in New York’s Upper East Side over Hallowe’en, sparking rumours that they are back together.

“They were very cute and were holding hands,” a source told the New York Post.”

Now I don’t know that going trick-or-treating together constitutes a deep meaningul relationship or reconcilation. Perhaps they were just trying to appear loving for the sake of their children or maybe they really have discovered that there is no one else for either one of them but each other. I guess we’ll have to wait and see as no one from either camps has issued any kind of statement.

Angelina Jolie is all the rage these days - well isn’t she always, really? - and this time it’s the British version of Harper’s Bazaar that has been able to sit down for an interview with her. As usual, Jolie spews the same uselessness that always comes from her mouth and she touches on all her latest hot topics - her rebelious side, buying her kids guns (like, real actual guns), and other such wonderful parenting antecdotes. From Metro,

“Angelina Jolie has warned she will never say goodbye to her rebellious streak despite becoming a proud mum of six tots. The yummy mummy remains defiant about her controversial past, which has reportedly included knife sex and now more recently a breast-feeding pose on the cover of a La La land magazine.

Back to her stunning best in her latest photo shoot, Angelina warns: ‘I don’t walk around feeling I need to apologise or explain myself. ‘I am still, at heart – and always will be – just a punk kid with tattoos.’ And after shocking claims she took her oldest tot Maddox to a gun shop recently, the actress says she won’t wrap her kids in cotton wool.

‘Listen, my kids play video games. I let them play with toy soldiers. We don’t take war and violence lightly, but we don’t hide it from anybody. We say, ‘Mommy and Daddy have movies where we play these characters, but there’s real death and violence in the world.’

She also tells Harper’s Bazaar she’ll only play characters she would ideally want to hang out with, including tough-nut Lara Croft. ‘I tell stories that are about the type of woman I’d want to meet. The type of woman where I think, even if it’s silly characters I’ve played, like in Tomb Raider, there’s something about her that will be fun for my daughters to see one day’, says Jolie.”

It’s probably not surprising that I take issue with this, as it did fall from the mouth of someone that I just abhor but was it not just a few weeks ago that she gave an interview and talked about how she ‘wasn’t angry anymore.’ Yeah, yeah, that’s right - it was the same interview where she said she had lost all ambition. And now, she’s still this ‘punk kid’ with a rebelious streak. I really wish she’d get her story straight. It’s hard to keep up.

Celebitchy also stated that her hubby/boy toy/whatever he is, Brad Pitt is also trying to play mediator between Angelina and his mom as Brad’s mother is none too happy about some of the things Angelina has said and done, including when she appeared on the cover of W Magazine breastfeeding. I guess Brad’s mom felt as though it wasn’t the breastfeeding that she took issue with but the fact that the happy couple seemed to be exploiting their children. Do ya think?

We so often see Jennifer Garner toting around sweet little Violet that it’s nice to see Ben Affleck getting in some quality time as he drops the little flower off for preschool. Ben looks just as Jen always looks as she takes Violet to her numerous events on the social calendar: slightly unorganized, trying to juggle everything all at once, and very, very happy! Thanks to the Gossip Girls for the caption and the pic!

It’s hard when you’ve ruined your body so badly that you can’t even make it out of bed to go get your husband from jail. Such was the case with Amy Winehouse, as her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil was released from jail today in England. Amy was apparently not feeling up to going to see her hubby. From Celebrity Dirty Laundry,

“Amy Winehouse’s hubby lowlife Blake Fielder-Civil was released from Edmunds Hill Prison in Suffolk, England today. Amy was nowhere to be seen when he left jail for the first time in 12 months. Amy remained at home resting she is recovering from treatment for a “chest infection”
Blake certainly looked happy as he left prison this morning. However, he looked a bit worse for wear showing a chipped front tooth and red scratches down his arms. Rather than be free to roam the streets Blake “is not passing go, is not collecting his $100″ he is going straight to a rehab facility as part of the terms of his release.”

One can only hope that Amy is hot on his heels on the way to rehab but it’s probably best that they don’t go to the same facility - the drug situation doesn’t seem to get better when they’re together. When are these two going to put an end to this miserable chapter in their lives and just get divorced? They’re so very obviously not good for each other and even though they may proclaim that they’re in love, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that when you’re hooked on drugs, you’re not going to get off the hook when you’re with someone who’s hooked on drugs! I can only hope that good sense will come to them soon but it’s hard to see clearly through the smoke from the crack pipe.

I’ve always been a big fan of Carnie Wilson and have admired the way she dealt with her struggle with weight and her fabulous vocal chords. The former Wilson Phillips band member already has a 3-year-old daughter, Lola Sofia Bonfiglio with her husband, Rob Bonfiglio and she says that she’s expecting in June. Maybe my math is off but that seems to me like she’s announcing before the big ‘3 Month Mark,’ when many people wait to announce the big news. It seems odd, especially for a celebrity but here’s a sweet interview she had brought to her by Celebrity Baby Scoop,

“On how she told her husband: “I couldn’t get a hold of Rob because he was playing a jazz gig. I taped the pregnancy test to the front door and drew a picture of little stick figures of Daddy, Mommy, Lola and then a little tiny one. I jumped out of bed at midnight and went into the kitchen and I see him holding the stick. He took me in his arms and goes, “Here we go again, honey.” He was happy.”

On her hopes for the pregnancy: “I can’t stop thinking about twins! My sister had twins; my grandmother was a twin and my grandmother’s aunt had twins. I had my first ultrasound and we only saw one sac, but it’s not confirmed that it’s not two because one could be hiding in back of the other…. We’ll see!”

On if she expected to get pregnant so quickly after losing the weight: “I did, actually. We had sex before, during and after ovulation. I was really keeping track of it, and it worked. Also, my body is so healthy now. I think we might have conceived to “She’s Leaving Home” by The Beatles!You’ve said you’re hoping for a boy.”

It seems odd to me the way that some people treat pregnancy test sticks, as though they’re not actually things that you have peed on when actually they are. And I don’t know why celebrities think that it’s necessary to reveal the intimate details about their sex life. You can’t say something like, ‘Well, we really wanted another baby and so we tried really hard.’ No, instead, give us all the details of when you had sex. It’s just not necessary.

It’s been rumored for some time, even before her official split with Hugh Hefner, that Holly Madison and Criss Angel had been having a little magic working for themselves in the backlight of her relationship with Hugh. Although Hef denied it and Holly denied it, there just to always sort of seem to be this chemistry and just that ‘not right’ feeling about all the denial. Now the happy couple, Criss and Holly, have been able to take their relationship public after Holly’s split with Hugh. Sound confusing? Wait until you throw in a few magic tricks. From People,

“Angel and Madison have been spotted kissing and snuggling over the last several weeks in Las Vegas, but remain somewhat coy about their relationship.

“This is one of the most special evenings for me in my life and I can not think of a more beautiful person, a more special person, inside and out, than Holly to spend it with,” Angel said on the opening night of his new Cirque Du Soleil show, “Believe,” in Las Vegas.”

This reminds me a lot of the Pamela Anderson/Michael Jackson rumor that floated around a little while ago in the way that it seems so wrong that it’s right. Except this seems much more real. They are sort of a cute couple and they do both come from the weirder side of the track what with her ex-relationship to an old horndog and his keen desire to do horrible things to himself. Who knows how long this will last but it will be fun to watch these two flounce after one another!

I really love Carrie Underwood and I always thought ‘that would be the day that I would write something about bad about her,’ but some of her more recent public comments really have me wondering if the bright lights have really gotten to her in a not-so-good kind of way. The first interview that got me thinking I read in the Daily Blabber, where she talks about her new feud with Jessica Simpson. Remember when Carrie started talking some time ago about how her ex, Tony Romo, kept calling her? Well apparently, Jess didn’t like Carrie talking that way about her man and got upset. Really?!?! I am not a Jessica Simpson fan by any stretch but really, you have to understand why this would upset her. Apparently Underwood didn’t think that far in advance before she let that story slip from her lips. From the Daily Blabber,

“Carrie says that she’s sorry for making Jessica Simpson mad by telling the world that Jess’ boyfriend/Carrie’s ex Tony Romo still calls the American Idol winner.

“It was something that was said in passing, and I would never mean to say anything to hurt anybody or stir up anything, because I’m just not about drama…at all,” Carrie told the mag.

Jessica reacted by saying that there was no way her man was calling Carrie — and that she had looked at his call log to find out the truth.

And Carrie says she gets why Jess was pissed at her. “I might be mad too if somebody said my boyfriend was calling some other girl,” she said. “So I can definitely see where she would be coming from.”

Now, I’m not going to mention the fact that if you need to look through his call log to get the truth, chances are there are bigger issues. But really, Carrie! How could she be so naive as to think that a statement such as that isn’t going to offend anyone. But she wasn’t going to stop there. She still had a whole slew of celebrities to insult, by stating that she has no respect for anyone who publicly supports a presidential candidate. From US, ”

Carrie Underwood has a message for Oprah, Diddy, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and even Heidi and Spencer: Don’t publicly back candidates for office.

“There is someone I do support, but I don’t support publicly,” she tells TV Guide, as excerpted by Just Jared. “I lose all respect for celebrities when they back a candidate.

“It’s saying that the American public isn’t smart enough to make their own decisions,” she goes on. “I would never want anybody to vote for anything or anybody just because I told them to.

“Music is where you go to get away from all the BS,” adds Underwood, who recently apologized for saying ex Tony Romo still calls her. “Whether it’s from politics or just the world around you, music should be an escape.”

I don’t think anyone was saying anything about the American public until she brought them into it, to begin with. And I also don’t think that it’s wrong to publicly support one candidate or another or to choose to keep your opinion to yourself. I would much rather someone that I recognize speak from their heart and tell me why they are voting for someone, rather than have a politician reiterate their rehearsed speeches and tell me why they are the best. Whichever way you want to play it, whatever you want to say about politics, I think it’s an area that needs to be respected at all times and saying something such as you have no respect for people who publicly show support really does just seem idiotic to me.

It’s been fairly clear for some time that Barack Obama is going to win the United States election and as the polls are very near to a close, stories are still being printed about the sad death of his grandmother and the beautiful words that he had to say about her at a rally in North Carolina yesterday. Here is what US had to say about Obama’s words,

“Barack Obama teared up during a rally at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte on Monday as he spoke about his beloved grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, who passed away, at age 86 of cancer, on the last day of his campaign.

“Some of you heard that my grandmother who helped raise me passed away this morning. She has gone home,” Obama told the hushed crowd. “And she died peacefully in her sleep with my sister at her side. So there is a great joy as well as tears.

“I am not going to talk about it too long because it is hard for me to talk about it,” he went on.

Obama suspended his campaign 10 days ago to visit Dunham — whom he called “Toot” — in Hawaii. He said he had hoped she would have lived long enough to see him elected.”

“She was one of those quiet heroes that we have all across America,” he said of Dunham, who raised him. “They’re not famous, their names aren’t in the newspapers, but each and every day they work hard. They look after their families. They sacrifice for their children and their grandchildren.

“In this crowd,” he went on, “there are a lot of quiet heroes like that.”

It is very sad that he’s going to become President a short two days after her death but it’s words like this that are the very reason why people love him so much. He is passionate, his words come from the heart, and whatever he says, it seems as though he’s saying it directly in relation to your own life. It’s nice to see that he’s an actual person, and not just a suit that gives the occasional press conference and while it’s sad to see him go through this difficult time, it lets us see one more side of him and gives us one more reason to love him.
