Although many details aren’t known about the ceremony, Jennifer Hudson serenaded the crowd as Vasi walked down the aisle. “Thank you @IamJHud for being part of our union,” shared Vasi on Instagram. “I had chills walking down the aisle. You are such a beautiful person inside & out.” Congratulations to the happy couple. [Denise Vasi Instagram][DJ D-Nice Instagram]
• Late Friday, Masterchef runner-up Joshua Marks committed suicide. He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Marks’ family is blaming his death the lack of available mental health facilities and easy access to guns. Marks made headlines back in July after having an altercation with police. At the time, he claimed to be possessed by Masterchef star and creator Gordon Ramsay, who Marks believed turned him into God. Funeral arrangements have not been announced. [CNN]
• Conrad Murray, the former doctor who was charged with involuntary manslaughter of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, is set to walk free this month. On October 28th, Murray will have completed his two year sentence. He originally received four years in prison. However, Murray’s sentence was reduced due to jail overcrowding. [TMZ]
