Jennifer Hudson saved the Oscars telecast. That is not too bold a statement; it was in a really ruinous space there for a while. They gave out one award to the most predictable winner of all – even if you were rooting for her, it was a hell of a long time between it and the next piece of something interesting. Full Story

Have you seen the Jennifer Hudson-Jessica Simpson Weight Watchers commercial? Does it feel like it’s been on a lot lately? The more it’s on, the more I obsess about whether or not they were actually together. They totally weren’t together. Look at how awkward that is -- when they meet on the corner and awkwardly nod, say nothing, and then walk inside. Full Story

Winnie opens in Canada on October 5. Here’s an exclusive clip from the film. There are people who think that scenes like these don’t happen anymore, that we have put all that behind us, that we’ve evolved, that it’s too uncomfortable to talk about, let’s think happy thoughts instead. Full Story

I’ll say this: I really like the Gucci she wore to the show. I walked past her on my way to the press room and the beading on the skirt as she moved was gorgeous. In person Cam really carried this piece beautifully. But I did not enjoy the harsh orange Victoria Beckham she wore for Vanity Fair. Because of her build, on her it just looks like gym attire, especially from the waist up. Full Story

Take a look at Jennifer Hudson on the cover of SELF. As you know, I’ve been cutting my eye at her for the last little while over the whole “let’s make her popular since she’s thin now!” situation. For the media to fixate on this is one thing. What bites my ass is that she’s kinda bought into it too. Full Story

The Met Gala is not the prom. But you know, without fail, some people come to this thing thinking it’s like their own wedding. This explains why Jennifer Hudson chose Vera Wang. That’s a wedding dress, it’s a prom dress, it’s certainly not a high fashion dress, but then again, Andre Leon Talley once styled her for the Oscars like an asshole so maybe she’s a little gun shy in the sartorial game. Full Story

Jennifer Hudson was in Paris last week for a day. Then it was on to Washington, arriving yesterday. Looks really good. Really, really good. But you know that already. We ALL know that. She went on Weight Watchers and she trained with Harley Pasternak and that made her super popular again, you know being thin and everything, so now she’s promoting a new album … And it better have some good songs… Because Duana and I just talked about this while she was making her oatmeal and both of us trying not to gag at Gwyneth Paltrow’s Glee playing in the background. Full Story

I am predisposed to not like this material. I don’t like taffeta. Ever. Taffeta often comes in offensive colours. Always loud. Always really mall prom. It doesn’t scream style to me. It certainly isn’t fresh. And on Jennifer Hudson, with her new Weight Watchers body that gets shoved down our throats all the time, I feel like it was a total disservice. Full Story

Jennifer Hudson has lost something like 80 pounds. She looks great. Which, sometimes I hate saying because, like in the example of Kelly Osbourne, somehow it feels like an invalidation of the size that came before. Having said that, Hudson is not Osbourne. She was very successful before Weight Watchers, she’ll continue to be successful beyond it. Full Story

OK so the best hair shots of JHud are actually from Saturday night at the Clive Davis Party. But how can you deny this hair? If I could pull off this hair, I totally would. But my Chinese people hair won’t go like this without an hour of work every day and I don’t have the time. I also don’t have time for what Jennifer chose for the red carpet at the Grammys proper: a giant bib. Full Story

Jennifer Hudson at BET – a curvy girl rockin’ the sh*t out of a pair of skinny jeans. Love, love, love. JHud’s first album drops on September 30 and the first single Spotlight is doing reasonably well though it hasn’t taken off like she probably hopes. Weird. That she has an Oscar but musically it’s been a slower ride. Full Story

Love Jennifer Hudson’s hair, weave, wig, whatever. Am all over it. Jennifer plays Carrie’s assistant in Sex and she also has two upcoming film projects slated for release – Winged Creatures and the Secret Life of Bees with Dakota Fanning. Ugh. Hudson is also working on her debut album scheduled to drop in September. Full Story

In photos they actually don’t look so droopy. In person however and on tv too they looked like a burden, like the weight of a hundred sandbags ready to collapse. Is Andre Leon Talley to blame for this one too? Poor thing had to wear a space station bolero last year, remember? A shame, really, because Jennifer Hudson is just so delicious it’s unfortunate the people around her have ass for style. Full Story

Remember that weird lookin’ jacket Andre Leon Talley made Jennifer Hudson wear on the carpet at the Oscars? Yeah that piece of fashion advice sucked. But JHud was just styled by the inimitable Patricia Field while working on Sex & the City the movie… and then she showed up last night at the Great Debaters premiere looking like this. Full Story
