Jennifer Hudson is an EGOT winner with a daytime talk show. However, she was recently seen working at a Krispy Kreme. So, has the singer hit hard times?
Nope. She was just shooting a segment for the Jennifer Hudson Show, and we got to see the inner workings of the donut shop.
And since it is my Krispy Kreme in Burbank, I feel the need to go there and have one of their yummy treats ASAP. See you later!
Blake Shelton spent 23 seasons on The Voice, so what did he ask the producers that he could take home with him to remember his time on the singing competition?
That is not all he told Hudson on her daytime talk show today. He also revealed that he was planning on leaving the show earlier, but then came the pandemic. And he didn’t want to leave the series empty seated. So he stayed on because that is what a good Country boy does.
Jennifer Hudson might be an EGOT winner, but that doesn’t mean she could do something, us, people without an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony can do. That thing is swimming.
However, now she is like us. That is because the Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte taught her to swim. In one lesson, he got her swimming from one end of the pool to the other. And now, she can add swimmer to her titles!
Hopefully, by the summer, she will be going to the beach with her son and swimming in the ocean! Because, as we know, that is not as easy as being in a pool.
And we learned a very important lesson here. Just because you are 42 doesn’t mean you are too old to learn new things. Even things that kids know how to do.
Last week, Drew Barrymore, The Talk, and Jennifer Hudson went back into production and planned on premiering the new season of their daytime talk shows tomorrow. And the striking workers of the Writers Guild of America, along with actors, were not happy with their decisions.
Therefore, they started picketing their shows because even though they are cleared by the Screen Actors Guild to do their talk shows, they are not from the WGA because they have writers from the union who work there.
So, on Friday, Barrymore released a tearful apology video, and she got attacked again. So, today, she made an announcement. “I have listened to everyone, and I am making the decision to pause the show’s premiere until the strike is over,” she wrote. “I have no words to express my deepest apologies to anyone I have hurt and, of course, to our incredible team who works on the show and has made it what it is today. We really tried to find our way forward. And I truly hope for a resolution for the entire industry very soon.”
Shortly after her announcement, The Talk and Jennifer Hudson followed suit.
I hope that the AMPTP finally negotiates a fair contract ASAP because this is really hurting people. They have billions of dollars, and most of the people who work in show business have just hundreds left in their bank accounts. It is really bad here. People who aren’t even in the industry are struggling because they depend on the studios and their employees to keep their businesses alive.
It is disgusting how the AMPTP has handled this whole situation. Wait until they find out that you can’t take it with you in hell.
Samuel L. Jackson has done a lot of crazy things in movies throughout his 50-year career. Today on The Jennifer Hudson Show, she asked him what was the craziest.
Do you think it was from one of his Quentin Tarantino movies? Or how about one of the many, many times he has played Nick Fury? If you thought it was one of those films, you would be wrong. It was actually 1996’s The Long Kiss Goodnight.
In that movie, he and Geena Davis are escaping a shootout in a train station as a grenade is going off. Davis uses her machine gun to shoot out the window so that they can jump down into the ice below. Then, as they freefalling to the ground, she shoots at the ice to break it. And then we see them hit the ice and come up for air.
You would think that director Renny Harlin would have used stunt doubles for his wife and Jackson, but he didn’t. So the two actors were submerged in the freezing cold water to make that scene look realistic.
So they would have to go down into the frozen water, stay there for 5 seconds, come up, run across the ice, and wait in a hot tub so the director could see how it looked.
After the first try, Harlin wasn’t happy. So they did it four more times. By the fifth time, EMS was waiting on standby. And that was a good thing because Jackson woke up in his trailer covered in one of those silver warming blankets after the fifth take.
So you would think after all of that, he would have hated that film. But he loves it so much that it is actually one of his favorites.
It was definitely memorable for him. To see that unforgettable scene, then click here!
