Jennifer Hudson turned the big 4-0 yesterday, and Madame Tussauds New York gave her the best gift. They gave her herself. As in, a wax version of the Oscar winner.
They did such a good job; I can’t tell which one is real and which one is the life-sized figure.

There are not many positive things you can say about the musical Cats. Whether it is the movie or stage production. However, one of the nice memories from it is the song Memory. As I said, it is only nice. Jimmy Fallon and The Roots found a way to give it a new life with the cast of the big screen version of the show.
The Tonight Show reworked the ballad with a happier beat using classroom instruments, and you can tell it suited Taylor Swift, Jason Derulo, James Corden, and Jennifer Hudson sang it.
I think this take on the classic show tune is purrfect. You knew that was coming.
Jennifer Hudson was guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! yesterday and she told the ABC late night host that she has problem recognizing actors. So she told him a story that back when she was a contestant on American Idol, she went to the premiere of Kill Bill: Vol 2 with the other singers who were still on the show at the time. While she was watching it, she “fell asleep on the movie.” So when they got out of the film, QT asked them what they thought of it. Because she didn’t recognize him, she said to him “OMG! That movie was horrible. It was so boring.” Then someone finally got her attention to tell her who she just gave that sh!tty review to and she was embarrassed. So how did he react to her saying his movie was crap, she said he laughed it off because he thought she was joking. But maybe as time went on, he realized she wasn’t. And because of that, I don’t think we will ever be seeing the Oscar winner in any of his movies ever.
Last year was a tragic one for Jennifer Hudson with the murders of her mother, brother and nephew, but this year brought her life. According to Showbiz 411 David Daniel Otunga, Jr. came into the world yesterday weighing in 7pds, 14 ozs. Hopefully with his birth, things will be better for the Oscar winning former-American Idol contestant.
Sadly the search for Jennifer Hudson’s nephew is over because 7 year old Julian King’s body was found this morning in the car that the Amber Alert was out on according to the Chicago Tribune. I cannot go in to details about his death because the story horrifies me.
I cannot understand how someone can murder a 7 year old like that. It is times like this that I believe in the death penalty because no child should have their lives snuffed out like that.
My prayers go out to Jennifer Hudson and her sister Julia.
