Jennifer Hudson returns to work

JENNIFER HUDSON is set to return to work just two months after three members of her family were shot dead.

The singer, who has been nominated for a Grammy, is due to begin filming the video for her next single If It Isn't Love.

Her record label J Records confirmed to Associated Press that Hudson, 27, will fly to Los Angeles next week to shoot the video for the song, the follow-up to her Grammy-nominated song Spotlight.

Hudson was due to film the video around the time her mother Darnell Donerson, brother Jason Hudson and nephew Julian King were murdered by her estranged brother-in-law.

William Balfour, 27, who was married to Hudson's sister Julia, was last week charged with three counts of first-degree murder.

The murders overshadowed the release of her self-titled debut album which came out three weeks before the tragedy.

But last week Hudson received four Grammy nods, including Best R&B Album and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.

Although she has yet to make a public appearance since the murders, she released a statement that said, "It's been a childhood dream of mine to release an album, so to receive four Grammy nominations is truly a blessing. I'm extremely honored and humbled by the nominations."
