When the news of the six-time Grammy award winner’s death broke out, a tribute to the late singer was immediately planned for the event, despite her passing overshadowing this year’s awards. Hudson, another Grammy winner, will be honoring the late singer by performing one of Whitney Houston‘s biggest hits and most memorable song from her movie, “The Bodyguard”…

JENNIFER HUDSON got fun and flirty in a colorful Gucci outfit at the “Think Like a Man” L.A. premiere. Check it out:

JENNIFER HUDSON decided she’ll gain weight for a movie, after all…if the role calls for it. Hmmm…why the sudden change of mind?

The “American Idol” finalist and Oscar winner earlier admitted she’d turned down the role of “Precious,” which eventually went to Gabourey Sidebe, because she wanted “a role that didn’t have anything to do with my weight” (and also because she didn’t want to get fat again after all her progress with Weight Watchers). Now she says she’ll willingly gain back the blubber to do a movie if the right role comes her way. What gives?

JENNIFER HUDSON‘s New Year’s resolution includes no diets! We’re shocked. After loosing nearly 80 lbs. in the last year and a half, and attaining size zero, would she really ditch her failsafe svelte solution for the New Year?

After shrinking to nearly half of her body weight, the “Dreamgirls” Oscar winner and “American Idol” finalist is shaking her head at dieting this 2012. Has she had enough of Weight Watchers, which she signed on to in 2010? Or is she disappointed her book chronicling her weight loss experience, “I Got This: How I Changed My Ways and Lost What Weighed Me Down” isn’t selling as well as Snooki‘s bestselling “A Shore Thing” and “Confessions of a Guidette?”

Grammy and Oscar-winning JENNIFER HUDSON declined the critically acclaimed 2009 role of “Precious” because she didn’t want to gain any weight.

Which turned out to be very good news for Gabourey Sidibe, wasn’t it?

Jennifer, who’d just won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role of Effie in “Dreamgirls” was given the opportunity to turn out another award-winning performance as the 300-lb. illiterate and obese 16-year-old single mother living in a dysfunctional and abusive home.
