SPOTTED: BRANDY & KELLY HIT KATSUYA

BFFs Brandy and Kelly Rowland enjoyed a girls’ night out on the town with dinner at Katsuya on Wednesday (August 18).

Brandy tweeted that she and her “bestie” were having dinner in “Hollyweird”. After she walked Kelly to her car, she ran into Paris Hilton who reportedly asked her to leave the restaurant at the same time so she could distract the paparazzi from snapping her with a new mystery man.

MAG COVERS: JENNIFER HUDSON COVERS MICHIGAN AVENUE

Singer/actress Jennifer Hudson covers the new issue of Michigan Avenue and spoke about her new family, losing weight and more.

BEING A MOM
It’s very beautiful; I’m enjoying it. I’ve got the sweetest little baby in the world. He just got two new teeth, so he smiles with them now. He pokes them out there, like, “Look at my teeth.” I definitely want to have another one. I want to have a little girl, maybe in three or four years from now.

FAMILY FUN
I love to take photos, and because I love pictures so much [my son David] is used to taking pictures. Even the dogs are; they are ready anytime to take a picture. They know what a camera is, that’s how many pictures we take.

OPRAH
Chicago supports Chicago, and I’m glad to see that. Oprah is like a mom to me. She is always the same and always supportive and welcoming. And whenever I’m in Chicago, I love to try and stop by and see her and say hi.

CHICAGO FAVES
Michigan Avenue is number one, and I’m not just saying that because that’s the name of this magazine. I love to go to Calypso Café in Hyde Park and have some jerk chicken. I love to stay at the Elysian. That’s my home now when I come to Chicago.
