Jennifer Hudson Swags Her Engagement Ring & Makes Shining NCAA History

Jennifer Hudson

Jennifer Hudson is a shining star with her shining engagement ring along with her soon to be shining performance as she strolls on through Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).  From the looks of that ring, things are going quite right in her relationship with her man, David, but the other thing that has her shining is that she will be performing @ the NCAA men’s basketball championship game.  The song she will be singing is the oh so familiar One Shining Moment.  See, told ya Jennifer Hudson shines…pearly whites and all in that grin.

What is so historic about J Hud singing at this event is that it makes her the first woman to do so.  All the rest of the times past were male singers.

Winnie Mandela Upset About “Winnie” Biopic; Impersonal

There is Jennifer Hudson, Winnie Mandela and Winnie, the biopic set to release soon documenting the life of Nelson Mandela’s wife.  Unfortunately, there is only one problem, Winnie Mandela has had no part in the movie at all despite the fact that the biopic is about her.  This has got Winnie a bit perturbed as she feels that if something is being written about her, the writers/producers and such should at least holla at her, right?

A Little Pre-Mommy Jennifer Hudson

Drama already starting. Well actually, word is that the drama was already there when the biopic was said to have Jennifer Hudson star in it as Winnie in the first place.  Dig this…yes J Hud can act herself into an Oscar, but that’s not a great reason to have her play Winnie to many.  Thing is, the selection to some should have been a South African.  Can’t argue with that one as that is a fair option, however, the star is chosen, and I think Jennifer Hudson, will turn that role out, no matter what she has to do.  She will make a great Winnie.  Take up the story line with the director & writer.  That research better be on point or mass hysteria is going to break out.

Jennifer Hudson & David Otunga Not On Child Number 2

Oh the bliss of another babe for Jennifer Hudson and David Otunga has been shot down.  No, Jennifer isn’t pregnant after all.  Earlier in the week, a report came out that the Oscar winner who is soon to be seen on the screen as Winnie, Nelson Mandela’s wife, was pregnant.  So many congrats went out, but you know how it is, don’t hold your breath on it until you see or hear it right from Jennifer.  Well, it has been spoken by her people that nope, there won’t be a baby number 2 just yet.

As I stated before, it could have been a bunch of hear it and say it, well, I was right.  Star must have just heard it and said it, or just said it!

Cool.  We were still on the congrats for the first baby anyway, right?
