Jennifer Hudson: My Engagment Story

Jennifer Hudson: My Engagment Story

A newly engaged Jennifer Hudson lands at JFK airport in New York City early Monday morning.

The 27-year-old singer/actress recently described her and attorney David Otunga’s engagement story: “It was a big deal… I got a beautiful ring and I got him. I had no clue at all… We went to the beach during the day and he blindfolded me… and he gave me a purple shovel, because purple’s my favorite color… and I had to dig. I ended up digging through all this sand. When I found it, it was like a bunch of beautiful cards… one related to the other, and the last one said, ‘Look around, take the moment in, turn around and I have a gift for you.’”

Tomorrow, Jennifer will release her self-titled debut album.

I just hope he has true feelings for her and that she has a strong pre-nup. Especially, since he is an attorney they can find loop holes.

I hate to see her be duped by someone only looking for celebrity.

Dunno….”I got a beautiful ring, and I got him.”

Seems to me you’d be more excited about getting HIM, if you really loved him. Why would you mention the rock before the man?

I have a feeling that Hudson is making a Star Jones Reynolds mistake. Heavy women are often too desperate to have a man and they end up taking the first thing that smiles and says I love you. Hudson had been dating another man for a long time. What happened? And now she’s ready to marry this guy so quickly? She does not seem very happy to me because her instincts are telling her something.

Jennifer Hudson should pay attention to that nagging feeling. She should date this guy a bit longer and get to know him better before taking such a serious step. She’s still very young and has many years of success before her. Marrying will produce a baby and then what?

lmbaoooooo

that’s one ugly-as-fcuk fat bish.

FUGLY…..!!!!!!!!!

lmfao she looks horrible.
even people who aren’t celebs shouldnt go out in public looking like this

ewww. she looks so ugly and fat in these pics
terrible choice of outfit, haircut, and well…its pretty obvious she needs to loose some weight :P

a little make up wouldn’t be bad :)

I’m sorry to say this, she a good singer, but I find nothing remotely attractive about this woman, and I’m not basing my opinion on the fact that these are fugly looking pictures. Even when she’s all done up I find nothing appealing about her. Her speaking sucks a$$.

Hot outfit. I’m happy for her and can’t wait to hear her cd.

Man, is it just me or have the comments gotten nastier on this blog lately? I had to scroll up to make sure I was still on JJ. I’m sorry, but why go to a post and leave a comment just to be cruel? This is one of the celeb blogs a lot of stars visit.

Bottom line, she’s a beautiful, talented, and happy girl. If that doesn’t appeal to someone, they’re the one with the problem, not Jennifer.

I applaud J.H. being comfortable enough to be herself and not always feel the need to put on make-up etc. BUT……..despite being down-to-earth and foregoing the DIVA attitude, a little bit of make-up goes a long way. If I knew cameras would snap my pic everytime I was out and about, I wouldn’t dress to the 9’s all the time, but wouldn’t be caught falling below a seven. My goodness, she has an award and needs to represent a bit more…though being REAL says is great. One just seems to get the feel that not much effort is put into stepping out the house, and some people need just a bit more effort, not saying a make-up/hair team just to go to the cleaners, but a bit more than others. She really is pretty and can really look beautiful when she has the right team (clothing choices have been problematic as well) fixing her up. Yeah…that was a quick courtship…if I were a betting woman, her first love would prove to be more of a lasting relationship than this one. Though it is terrible to be so pessimistic.

she looked so nice on the view.. and much slimmer too in the grey short dress.. and she mentioned the engagement and showed her ring off… and said she is busy planning for her wedding.

It looks like she’s put on a little bit of weight.

She looks a hot ******* mess. And she better watch out because i would not trust any man who has dated New York/Tiffany Pollard. Mock my words but I smell a divorce, and it would look funny if she was to get a pre nup because her dumb ass made him her attorney.

she looks fat and UGLY. someone please put a paper bag over her face!

[☆I n F a m o u s☆] @ 09/29/2008 at 4:07 pm

she looks like a fat ass man.

a week from now jared will post another thread about her, and she’ll have 3 pounds of makeup on her face. watch the idiots scream how “gorgeous” and “beautiful” she is. lmbaoooooooooooo

just remember these pictures. this is what jennifer hudson REALLY looks like.

She looks really ugly and rude without make-up on. What is she engaged to? A wilderbeast?

callmewhatever81 @ 09/29/2008 at 4:58 pm

I think she looks normal without makeup, not ugly not beautiful. U guys are ridiculous to exaggerate how bad she looks. Get a life.

I heard her sing on some program recently, can’t remember which show, but she sang her new song from an upcoming album. Girl has the pipes but the song was boring, a real yawner. Anybody else hear it?

She is getting a famehungry ex-reality show personality who went after a nasty chick like NY

She shouldn’t stick with her old sweetheart…
