LESLIE CARTER, SISTER OF NICK AND AARON CARTER DEAD AT 25!

Leslie Carter, the musician sister of Aaron Carter and former Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, has died in upstate New York at age 25,

“Our family is grieving right now and it’s a private matter. We are deeply saddened for the loss of our beloved sister, daughter, and granddaughter, Leslie Carter,”“We request the utmost privacy during this difficult time.”

Details about Carter’s death have not been released. A request for comment from Nick Carter’s publicist has not been returned. Carter, who reportedly gave birth to a daughter in April, according to Access Hollywood, appeared with her siblings on the E! reality show, “House of Carters.” Her song, “Like Wow,” was featured on the “Shrek” soundtrack in 2001.

This is such a tragedy as I loved the reality show so much and Aaron is a personal friend in the business. We are losing so many people in showbiz these days, it's so tragic. I first met Aaron in 2009 at the MMVA's where he talked to me about his HBO show at the time. I will look for that interview and post it on my new YouTube channel. I sent Aaron an e-mail this morning to send my condolences. Rest in Peace Leslie.

Coroner: Dr. Dre's Son Died From Overdose of Heroin and Morphine.

Dr. Dre's son, Andre Young Jr., died from an overdose of heroin and morphine, the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner confirmed to PEOPLE on Friday.

"This case has been closed, it's been ruled an accident due to morphine and heroin intoxication," coroner spokesman Larry Dietz told PEOPLE. The drug test results had been pending for four months.

Young, 20, was found unresponsive by his mother, Jenita Porter, 40, in their Woodland Hills, Calif., home on the morning of Aug. 23.

It is so sad and ironic that the album Dre was working on and now has been halted until further notice was titled "Detox." The Eminem one is called "Relapse." See how art mimics life! Too scary!

VIDEO UPDATE ON THE HUDSON FAMILY MURDERS: GUNS, GANGS AND CRACK COCAINE.

As of this morning, we have learned that William Balfour, the main suspect has refused a lie detector test. Stay tuned for more updates. Listen to my entertainment update for RNI.

Drug Raid at Hudson Murder House in 2002.

TMZ EXCLUSIVE IN THEIR OWN WORDS!

"We've obtained arrest reports and other docs in connection with a sting operation in Chicago. On March 4, 2002, Chicago cops targeted Jason Hudson, Jennifer's murdered brother, and Gregory King, the father of Julian, the murdered 7-year-old boy. Both men allegedly sold crack cocaine to a registered informant. Cops then raided the very home where Jason was murdered last week. According to documents, Jason, Gregory and Julia (Jennifer's sister) were all arrested.

Julia was never charged with a crime. Jason was charged with cocaine trafficking, but the main count was dismissed in 2004 because the judge ruled police conducted an illegal search. During that hearing, Jennifer's mom had to choose whether to go to Hollywood to watch her daughter on "American Idol" or be in court...she chose the latter.

Gregory was convicted. Jason agreed to enroll in a drug abuse program and the less serious remaining charge was dismissed.

Cops say Jason and Gregory were affiliated with the gang, Gangster Disciples. That's the same gang that William Balfour, the "person of interest" was in. The lawyer who repped Jason told TMZ cops often jumped to conclusions and assumed people in that neighborhood were gang members."

Like I said on TMZ#80 comment---Exactly why wasn't Julian King in school that day? Julia Hudson did go to work and did her regular bus driver shift? Maybe if he were in school, he would be alive today!

THE JENNIFER HUDSON TRAGEDY CONTINUES....CHILD STILL MISSING.

The entertainment website TMZ said Hudson's brother Jason was also found dead, citing a neighbour. Hudson won an Academy Award for her role in "Dream Girls" and is currently number 12 in the UK singles chart with her track Spotlight.

A cousin who lived nearby discovered the bodies, TMZ added. Police could not confirm the reports that Hudson's mother, Darnell Donnerson, and brother had been killed. But officers said they believe one of two people found dead at a home on Chicago's South Side is a relative of the singer and actress.

Police spokeswoman Monique Bond said the deaths appear to be the result of domestic abuse but refused to elaborate. Other media reports said a seven-year-old boy, also a family member, was taken from the scene and that police had issued an alert for him. The Cook County medical examiner's office confirmed the bodies of a man and a woman have been found.

Police tape was blocking access to the large, white house, where a crowd has been gathering. A Hudson publicist at her record label said she was not aware of any incident involving the singer's mother, but did not immediately return subsequent messages.

People.com is still reporting "bodies" in her home. I have just heard from their Pastor and YES, it was J-Hud's mother and brother. Police are looking for two suspects, a man and a boy. Our deepest thoughts and prayers go to Jennifer, her fiance David Otunga and the entire extended family! This is a horrible piece of news! R.I.P. This young lady achieved the highest success in her career with an Oscar, SAG, Golden Globe and an impending wedding! What a TRAGEDY!!!

UPDATE!!!!!

The boy I reported missing is Jen's nephew. He is said to be with a William Balfour who is married to Jennifer's sister Julia. An Amber alert has been issued for the kid who may have witnessed it all. Police will only tell us that it was a domestic dispute.

Julian King is the child they are looking for. He is only 7 years old. Could Balfour be the KILLER? More to come! He lived in the same house.

Here is a video Montage you can watch on the whole story courtesy of ABC-7 in Chicago.....More to come.

UPDATE!!!! 10/24/08--12:08am EDT, Toronto

The photo below is that of the Late Jason, Jennifer's brother.It looks like this family dispute could be all over a car! While it is reported that someone tried to steal a car from the property, this picture on Julia's MySpace page paints something else. Looks like her husband sold her car for money and she posted this picture on her MySpace page. These things provides lots of clues.

UPDATE!!!!! 10/24/08--12:21am EDT, Toronto

William Balfour the MAIN suspect in the murder is now under ARREST BUT police still can't find the child-- Julian King. We are assuming that since they don't have the same last name, this punk may be the stepfather! Balfour is not giving police any information but at this time we hope the child is safe! WTF! This is getting herrendous! Im so glad Jennifer was not there at the time as she may have even been a possible victim, God forbid! Pray for the child please!

Jennifer's sister Julia, mother of the missing 7-year-old works as a school bus driver in Chicago. Her employer says she worked her shift today but she hasn't been seen since. We certainly hope she's OK too! Stay tune to HipHossip for updates......
