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.’ ”

An oscar is nothing…She deserves a moon man!
This sister is HOT!
I wonder if Clive Davis is behind all of this media hype?! Seems like nobody touched her until she finally signed a recording deal with him. There even calling her the Next Whitney Houston.

I just hope her boyfrined isn’t a loser like so and so
Well her man has one thing going for himself he’s a real cutie, which Bobbie never was not even when he was with New Edition.
forget the fashion rags, this is monumental
True talent really speaks for itself in this business. Look at J-ho her 15 minutes of fame lasted for four years and only because of who she was dating. Move over Jennifer and let the Real Jennifer reign!
Love Love Love picture # 5. That has my vote as well for cover, but oh well.
Finally some postings that have some merit instead of two people taking their kids for a boat ride in India or playing ball in the park.
JH Rocks!
Can anyone tell me what she placed in American Idol. Sorry probably the only one in America who doesn’t watch the show:P
Not really feeling the pics did photoshop get erased off the hard drive?!
Who were they trying to channel with picture # 3? Chicago? Gypsy Rose Lee. I agree with you Jared horrible.
Some of these statements are absolutely ludicrous. I mean these are some of the most idiotic and unfair statements I’ve read on JJ. How could a person compare Jennifer’s one role as Effie, a role she only got because she was fat, if Beyonce was 30 pounds heavier, she would have got that role [Fact]
But comparing Jennifer’s One movie to Beyonce’s Whole Career is Ridiculous. Jennifer has to GET A RESUME FIRST.
Dream girls was a good movie. But some of you are speaking as if JH is the Best Actress in Hollywood. Lmaoooooooooooooo
Life Magazine!!!!! This is truly unbelievable. She’s an inspiration for so many young Black girls. Black, beautiful and talented. I don’t want to hate on Beyonce…but Sports Illustrated vs. Life!?
Life Magazine:
I am so proud and happy for this girl, as all should be.. UNLESS you are a professional HATER.. If so do your job!!
As for feeling sorry for HER i think you should save that pity
for yourself.. STARS ..don’t need pity they need (((((applause))))))
So hate on- but move out of the way, JH is on her way UP..lol
J Hudson earned her celebrity because of talent. She is not a size 2 but she has the kind of charisma people are born with. If she picks the right management and is willing to work hard she will have a lasting career.
I told my brother last year that she had it. She nailed it take after take on the set. I had never seen American Idol so I saw her without any bias. She just has it and a great voice.
Beyonce is on the cover of Sports Illlustrade and lots of others.
cause..besides being talented, Beyonce is baeutiful and thin.
Yes, I’m being mean..LOL
i’m just so fed up with J Hud.
And..when there’s all this fuss about an Oscar nominee…the Oscar just goes the other way.
Andre says:
I beg to differ this time…she has it in the bag!
I glad that J HUD is getting the recognition she deserves (I saw her on idol singing “Imagine”), but does anyone think her singing in the movie was a little over the top?
I mean, she has come from very humble beginings etc., and her story is pretty amazing and I’m not denying that she doesn’t deserve everything great coming her way, but I thought her singing was a little much in the movie. Just my opinion.
I wasn’t impressed with Dreamgirls. I just didn’t like it. I don’t like those kinds of movies anymore. I can only watch the old musicals. I didn’t like Chicago either. There is too much going on - too many breaks into something else.
Hudson was great, but I do not see a flourishing career. Girls gotta have something “special.” Usually they must be really pretty. Especially a black woman.
I love JHud but she is sweeping everything awards and magazines and she is so beautiful with so much energy,charisma and a personality to match. I hope she stay humble. Because she is one talented woman and her voice is so powerful she reminds me of the old Whitney with that voice. But if she wins the Oscar and is Time Magazine women of the yr. I will scream!!!!! And thats not literally but of course I will scream in a happy way!! Go JHUd!!!!
FUG FACE MANISTON: He says that about everybody. I think he’s afraid his family has forgotten about HIM! Poor thing!
Just pray for him! LOL!
Oh - and these pictures aren’t new. They first appeared in Essence Magazine months ago (maybe even a year ago, right after the Oscars).
