J-Hud Takes Cover of Life Magazine

Ladies and germs, may I present to you Miss Jenny Hudson on the cover of Life Magazine with photographs by Peggy Sirota. I absolutely love this one but could have done without this one. Hey, beggars can’t be choosers, right?

Check out some choice quotes from Jennifer’s interview with Life:

On serving at Burger King: “The only nonentertainment job I took was at Burger King [as a teenager]. My older sister, Julia, was the super-employee. I made a mess of everything: Burgers would go flying out of my hand. I’d drop the cheese. It made me realize I better find a job doing something completely different.”

On loving The Fresh Prince of Bel Air: “It was while watching an episode of the ’90s Will Smith sitcom that she first heard “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going,” Dreamgirls’ signature song. “Will was lip-synching to it, and I was like, ‘Who is that singing? I have to sing that song.’ I never would have guessed. . . .”

On her one true love: “My boyfriend, James Peyton, 27, and I have been together since 1999, so he watched me struggle to get here. There were some dark times when I’d say, ‘I can’t sing anymore. I’m not right for this.’ He’d say, ‘Jennifer, there’s no way you’re not singing. Keep it up, girl, keep it up.’ ”

The sky is the limit! It is nice to see someone who is humble get so many opportunities. Hopefully she stays that way.

Eww..

I feel sorry for her. Soon everyone who help hype her up will forget all about her. Then what.

HER talent should be able to take over from there. The trouble is the media can’t wait for her to peak so they can start tearing her down.

Her talent is supposed to take her the rest of the way. And it will. The trouble is the very media which hyped her can’t wait to tear her down.

She has entered another demographic once again! First Essence, then Vogue, now Life Magazine. Gosh I hope she is getting paid!!!! Or she needs to fire her agent! And I hope Clive didn’t shaft her with his record deal!

How in the H&ll is she going to top this AFTER the Oscars? I guess the only cover of importance is Time magazine.

Jennifer Hudson for Woman of the Year!

I am so happy that she got the cover, but don’t like the photos they took! She looks sort of tired on the cover. I wish they would use pic #5

Ha! That’s funny how in the article she said didn’t think about Simon.. I guess his feelings are hurt because he’s always thinking everything revolves around him!

I am not really feeling the set of pictures they took. I’ve seen her look a hell of lot better. But I’m still proud of JH. You rock the kasbah girlfriend.

She has topped every single Idol winner in only six short months and she doesn’t even have an album out! This is absolutely insane!! At this point it seems like she can’t even drop an album because she has too much to live up to now!

At least this is one Jennifer who is receiving rave reviews and coveted magazine covers because of her talent and NOT because she has a big booty!

I predict that she will be forgotten soon. She does have talent but this overexposure will make the public grow tired of her, presumably after she wins the Oscar.

I was in total shock when I saw this post and had to put my two cents in. How is she going to be able to top this? Almost feel bad for her because she has pretty much reached the zenith of her career.

Well since she’s conquered movies…I guess she’s going to have to blow up the grammys as well. Which shouldn’t be too hard. Just have to knock Mary J off.

Well this will surely put a little more wind in the sails of Dreamgirls ticket sales, even though it really doesnt’ need it since it’s already well over the $100 million mark.
