Aretha Franklin Forest Whitaker Jennifer Hudson Respect

DID YOU KNOW THAT ARETHA FRANKLIN HAD HER FIRST BABY AT AGE 12?

Jennifer Hudson and Forest Whitaker started filming Respect in New York – she plays Aretha Franklin and he plays her father, the popular Baptist minister Clarence Franklin. We can’t help but wonder HOW detailed this sordid bio will be. Clarence was known to be highly promiscuous and, in fact, had a baby with a 12 year old member of his congregation – with NO apparent repercussions! Aretha went on to have HER first baby at 12 also, (named Clarence!) supposedly with a school friend – she actually had TWO children with different fathers before she was fifteen! THAT’s just the beginning – this is going to be a startling life story!

American Idol Cats Jennifer Hudson

JENNIFER HUDSON IS A WINNER NOW

Back in 2004 American Idol was extremely popular, but we never found it very interesting – and Simon Cowell’s smug attitude didn’t help any. The show is proud of bragging that Jennifer Hudson was a “finalist” that year, but actually she placed SEVENTH! Of course she has the last laugh now, Jennifer is one of the most successful losers from the show. She’s currently starring in the movie Cats, and looks better than ever after her lucrative stint with Weight Watchers.

Aretha Franklin Jennifer Hudson Respect

ARETHA FRANKLIN INSISTED THAT JENNIFER HUDSON PLAY HER IN LIFE STORY

This is an early peek at Jennifer Hudson playing Aretha Franklin in the biographical drama Respect now filming in Harlem. (Actually Aretha herself was involved in getting the movie made up until she died last year.) Jennifer is filming a scene set in the 1960’s with Marlon Wayans, who plays her first husband Ted White, described as “the slickest pimp in Detroit.” Aretha married him when she was only nineteen and he became her manager. Jennifer and Marlon were about to film a scene in a car where her feet don’t show – that’s why she can get away with wearing those Ugg booties…

Fashion Jennifer Hudson

JENNIFER HUDSON CAN EAT ALL SHE WANTS IN THIS DRESS!

No wonder the Hairspray Live! singer got the “Trailblazer” award at the UK Glamour Women of the Year awards. Jennifer Hudson’s cleverly designed dress is absolutely genius and the solution to many problems. The optical illusion of the black and white makes the wearer look super slim with minimal effort – and festive at the same time! No uncomfortable (especially in the summer) Spanx necessary! We suspect Jennifer won’t be pigging out however, because she does look better than ever.

Iggy Azalea Jennifer Hudson Video

IGGY AZALEA: WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

Iggy Azalea is filming a video for her single “Trouble” in Los Angeles. Jennifer Hudson plays a cop involved in a car chase with Iggy that ends with a crash into a fire hydrant. Iggy, in her Farrah Fawcett wig, tries to escape, but Hudson slaps the handcuffs on and arrests her. Jennifer’s cop outfit looks authentic except for the fact that she’s wearing heels.

Jennifer Hudson Weight Watchers

JENNIFER HUDSON CHANGED HER LIFE FOR THE BETTER

Wow! Jennifer Hudson is a credit to Weight Watchers – and not many spokespeople can say that after three years. Since she started with the program in 2010, Jennifer has lost an amazing 80 pounds and she’s kept it off. Right now she’s promoting her movie with Alicia Keys called “The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete.” She says the weight loss has opened many doors for her – and made it easier to wear high heels.

Fake! Jennifer Hudson Jenny Craig Mariah Carey Weight Weight Watchers

JENNY CRAIG SHOULD FIRE MARIAH CAREY

Mariah Carey probably has the FAKEST weight loss commercial for Jenny Craig that we’ve ever seen on TV. First of all, with all that hair whipping and camera zooming in and out, you can barely see her body. But when you DO, she seems thick and straight up and down without a waist. Maybe she should have waited a little longer before unveiling her “Jenny” figure. We‘re willing to bet that she has little or no familiarity with Jenny’s food or program. She was photographed after her twins were born working out like crazy with a personal trainer. Jennifer Hudson’s Weight Watchers ad beats Mariah’s by a mile when it comes to plausibility.

Chicago Diet Jennifer Hudson Weight Weight Watchers

JENNIFER HUDSON: THIN GIRLS HAVE MORE OPPORTUNITIES

Jennifer Hudson says she didn’t realize she was overweight until a red carpet reporter asked her how it felt to be a “big girl in Hollywood.” Jennifer was startled because she thought “In Chicago, where I come from, I’m a normal size!” (Midwesterners do tend to be hearty!) When she started Weight Watchers, Jennifer says she also started feeding her son the right way too. 80 pounds later, Hudson has been bombarded with job opportunities and has dawned on her that “big girls” in Hollywood don’t get nearly as many offers and scripts.
