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.”

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.”  

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:simon.JPG

"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.”

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.”

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. 

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.
