Is Dreamgirls Star Jennifer Hudson A Big Liar?
According to ExtraTV she is. Last week Antonella Barba shot back at Simon Cowell’s assertion that she wasn’t good enough to be on the show, by saying “You were wrong about Jennifer Hudson, and you are wrong about me.” Simon’s responded by saying, “We put Jennifer Hudson on ‘American Idol.’ The American audience voted her out; I didn’t kick Jennifer Hudson out.â€
Jennifer has now responded to that claim saying that Simon was never a fan of hers, even issuing a challenge during an interview, “He wasn’t [a fan]; someone should rewind the tapes.â€Â Â
And they did and discovered that Simon was actually quite complimentary, especially for being known as the “mean” judge. Simon had these things to say about Oscar winning Hudson during her time on Idol:
“You have proved why you’re in the final 12,†“That was great,” ”You’ve now put yourself in the position where you could be a frontrunner,†and “You’ve created something in this competition we’ve never had before, which is a battle of the divas.â€
The only negative comment that they could attribute to Simon was found early in the competition:
“I think you’re out of your depth in this competition.â€
Hardly damning by any stretch of the imagination. In general, I think Simon is a straight shooter and while he’s a bit blunt, he’s hardly tossing hand grenades without cause. Compared to that whack-a-doo Paula, he’s a stabilizing force necessary to give the show any credibility at all. Which this season, it is losing fast.Â
As for Jennifer Hudson, she is a prime example of what I like to call the Hollywood effect. Take a perfectly reasonable person and put them in the spotlight, shower their asses with praise, tell them only what they want to hear and watch what happens: instant a-hole.
Should she apologize to Simon? Who cares. More importantly should she extract her head from anal cavity and stop being a conceited bitch? It couldn’t hurt.
I bet Jesus hates Hollywood.

It IS a story, dear, and I am certain a life is had by all concerned.
Re Hudson, she got a pretty fair shot from the judges in general I recall. I also remember being pretty shocked when she was voted out because her voice is huge. But she was pretty dumpy looking at the time

Hey Becky, I got two words for you.

I think someone pissed in Becky’s cereal this morning because this IS a story and I think it touches on a phenomenon worth exploiting, I mean- exploring: The Instant A-Hole Factor. It’s so true- you give someone a make-over, a few nominations and their own Red Carpet spread in InTouch and suddenly they want the world to eff off. So weird. That’s why fame only lasts 15 minutes, people…

Thanks Brady. I agree, it’s completely weird how an otherwise regular person can become so creepy so fast. Fame is something that should build slowly to allow a person to grow into, otherwise they just become completely altered in a really negative way.
Maybe the key is time. We might have stumbled on something.

You forgot to tell us what the two words were.

I like to leave some things to the imagination.

i don’t cuz i don’t have much of an imagination-so i’m betting the words are either shut up or fuck off.
ps J-Hud should carefully think about what she says-she’s just lucky that Dreamgirls Needed a fat girl. Either lose some weight and the ‘tude or actually think about what dribble comes out of her mouth.
