Jennifer Hudson is on top of the world these days. She’s just won a Golden Globe award for her turn as Effie White in Dreamgirls. She’s nominated for – and favored to win – a Best Supporting Actress Oscar. Jennifer, who will also sing during the February 25th telecast of the event, has agreed to sit down with Barbara Walters for a pre-Academy Awards show interview. We're expecting some serious tears, y'all.
She has also dished about her time on American Idol with Essence. The diva tells the mag that, "On American Idol, you go through this mental thing; you've got to get yourself back together. You've been abused, misled and brainwashed to believe whatever they want you to think." She further says that the show “brands you” and you “become a character”. She knew she “had to just sing [her] way out of it.”
Whoa!
In other Jennifer news, the diva will most likely reprise her role as Effie White on The Great White Way. Yup! Rumor has it that Jennifer’s in talks with producers who are eager to bring the musical back to Broadway – and eager to lend her sudden star power to the show.
