Jennifer Hudson does "LIFE"
Jennifer Hudson appears on the upcoming issue of 'LIFE' magazine. Jennifer's rise to stardom is truly what dreams are made out of. From 'American Idol' to being the first African American singer to appear on the cover of 'Vogue', Jennifer Hudson's the American dream. (I also think she's in a small league of newcomers nominated for an Oscars. Off the top of my head I remember Diana Ross being nominated as for a Oscar for her first movie role.) Tune on Sunday February 25th to see Jennifer at the 2007 Oscars on ABC live with host, comedian/talk-show host, Ellen DeGeneres.
[From the most watched reality TV series 'Idol' to the mega successful Oscar-nominated film, "Dreamgirls'---Chi-Town's Jennifer Hudson in 'LIFE' magazine.]
Jennifer on her boyfriend, James:
"My boyfriend, James [Peyton, who is 27], and I have been together since 1999, so he watched me struggle to get here. There were some dark times when I'd say, 'I can't sing anymore. I'm not right for this.' He'd say, 'Jennifer, there's no way you're not singing. Keep it up, girl, keep it up.' "
Jennifer on 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air':
"It was while watching an episode of the '90s Will Smith sitcom that she first heard "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going," Dreamgirls’ signature song. "Will was lip-synching to it, and I was like, 'Who is that singing? I have to sing that song.' I never would have guessed. . . ."
Jennifer on her friendship with Jamie Foxx:
"[After filming, costar] Jamie Foxx would call me every Sunday and say 'I’ve been down the same road you’re going down.' And I’d say, 'Me? No way.' And he’d say, 'Yeah, you’re gonna be there—the Golden Globes, the Oscars.' It’s so great to have somebody to lean on when things are changing so fast. He's my lifesaver."
