My Heart Goes Out To Jennifer Hudson

Wow.

You know, I cannot help but be floored by the bits and pieces of what's going on with her life that are featured on the Yahoo or Google news pages, etc., when I'm logging in and stuff.

I never watched American Idol, I didn't know who she was. In recent years I came to like what I knew of her for a number of reasons....

I love that she is from Chicago, too, for starters. A south sider. She's a real person, and down to earth. This is very apparent about her.

When I heard she beat out Beyonce for an Oscar, hell-o! Awesome. And good for her. I know Halle Berry was like the "first black woman" to win an Oscar (sadly enough), but let's face it, Halle Berry is or looks mixed at best. Of course she has totally white features -- not that that should matter, but to chalk it up as a giant win for "Africa" was a bit over the top in my opinion. Plus, Beyonce is just such an annoying princess, ug! Did you all know her dad chalked the Oscars up as "racist", saying that's why she didn't win, when she lost to a black woman that made his bleached out, fake blue-eyed daughter look white, plus like 2 other blacks won. PRICELESS!

After that, I heard a kickass story. I heard that Jennifer Hudson was offered a role in a movie for three million dollars and turned it down because it featured gratuitous nudity of another female. She didn't even want to be associated with it, said she was a "role model". Could she be any cooler? She has class, man.

So, she also helps put more curves in the media. She's gorgeous and curvaceous...and looks healthy. I read she was working with a trainer and was like a curvy size twelve or something now. Maybe 10. I'm big-boned like her and love it, and GOOD FOR HER for loving herself in America's wacked out culture. She knows she looks good, and is a positive example for women everywhere.

And now her mother (she didn't have a father, or he died when she was young I think; I don't really study her, this blog entry summarizes all my random knowledge about her), her brother and now it appears her 7-year old nephew are all murdered in cold blood, at the same time. If somebody so much as touched my nephew, I'd have to be committed.

I mean, my heart just goes out to her right now. Absolutely. How they are coping is beyond me, and I'm glad to hear she has a strong church she's been a part of her whole life (even though I'm not religious at all) and to know that she has faith. Because if there is ever a time in life that it will get you through something, this would be it.
