OpenEntrance - What’s Really Going OnWhat’s Really Going On

Jennifer Holiday showed the world one thing during the BET Awards, SHE CAN STILL SANG.

Her duet with Jennifer Hudson was a very powerful performance and we may get more in the near future. Holiday will be heading back to her role as the original Effie this month. Atlanta’s Theatre of the Stars got Holiday to celebrate the 25th anniversary production of “Dreamgirls”.

Also in the show will be former En Vogue singer, Cindy. She will play the role of Deena. Chavonne Massey will play Lorrell and Nicole Alesi as Michelle.

Shows will take place July 18th thru July 29th.

Jennifer Hudson in a recent interview has declared that she is keeping her man, her maintenance man that is. 

When asked if she would be leaving her man for some Hollywood action.  J HUD, representing her CHI-TOWN roots responded by saying, “Why would I”.

She says “… anyone at this point would just be getting with the Jennifer Hudson from American Idol or Dream Girls not the true Jennifer Hudson”.  Yeah she went third person on us. 

I give it less than year.  The funny things is it probably will not be Hudson to break it off.  It’ll be the maintenance engineer that will pop off with a jealous line like “Go ahead I dont need you”.  You know that male envy and pride will kill this relationship.  I will not be there but i can just hear a line like, “I made you”. 

She should have upstaged B one more time and made “Upgrade You”

I have read this in a few other blogs and I have watched this several times and I am still not sure. Either way it is one hell of a performance, but with all of the rumors about the beef between the two and it being rumored Beyonce was unhappy with the success that Jennifer has received, you have to wonder.

When watching the video, about the 3:15 mark to the end of their performance, It does look like Beyonce is trying to one up Jennifer a bit. What do you think?

The 79th Annual Academy Awards turned out to be history for Jennifer Hudson and Forest Whitaker as they both won Oscars.

Jennifer Hudson won for Best Supporting Actress for her role in “Dreamgirls” and Forest Whitaker won for Best Actor.

With the amount of media coverage that Jennifer has had lately, it was not much of a surprise, but we all know how it can look obvious and then someone win the award for a movie you have never even heard of. Just another big step for what I expect will be a huge 2007 for her.

Another cover for Jennifer Hudson. This time it is Life Magazine. She has a really good interview in which she answers some questions that are a little different than normal. Here are a couple of excerpts:

A RAY OF HOPE
“[After filming, costar] Jamie Foxx would call me every Sunday and say ‘I’ve been down the same road you’re going down.’ And I’d say, ‘Me? No way.’ And he’d say, ‘Yeah, you’re gonna be there—the Golden Globes, the Oscars.’ It’s so great to have somebody to lean on when things are changing so fast. He’s my lifesaver.”

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MISS JENNY HUDSON
Hudson made her stage debut singing the gospel power ballad “Ask in My Name” at a party for her great-great-grandmother’s ninety-first birthday. “I was about 9, and everybody was laughing when they saw my name in the program, saying ‘Oh, that’s so cute—Jenny’s gonna sing.’ By the time I finished, everybody was standing up, cheering. That’s when people started taking me seriously.”

I think it is pretty cool, for Jamie Foxx gave her that type of support. To read the full article, you can see it here.

 Jennifer Hudson becomes only the third time black woman to be selected as covergirl for Vogue. The other two were Oprah and Halle Berry, so definitely putting her in some select company.

Now the bad part is the pictures that they used. Jennifer has some amazing pictures, but the ones for the magazine are average at best. Why do they have to have her mouth open all wide? You can see some of her other pics of Jennifer here and here.
