JHUD'S DEBUT RECORD GETS 4 GRAMMY NODS + BRANDY'S TYRA INTERVIEW PREVIEW
Jennifer Hudson's self-titled debut picked up 4 Grammy nominations and for that recognition she's grateful and "humbled."
Here are the categories that Jennifer's album was recognized in: Best R&B Album, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B Song for “Spotlight,” and Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for “I’m His Only Woman” with label mate Fantasia. (2 American Idols on a Grammy-nominated song?! Congrats to Miss Hudson and Miss Barrino!) Rumor has it that the video for her second single, "If This Isn't Love" will premiere in January. UPDATE: Jennifer WILL go on to film her second solo music video for "If This Isn't Love" with director Syndrome according to Video Static.

On this Monday's episode of "The Tyra Banks Show", Brandy talked candidly about her brother Ray J's sex tape, her fake marriage to Robert Smith, and she capped off her appearance with a performance. Tyra claimed she watched 20 seconds of Ray J's infamous tape for "research purposes." (Tyra - Things that make me go hmm...)
Click here if you can't see the video.
Brandy also dropped by the "Today" show to perform her lead single, "Right Here (Departed)" and "Long Distance" off her album, "Human" (due out December 9th). I think she did a great job...
Preview Brandy's new album over at MTV's The Leak. Standout tracks are "The Definition", "Piano Man", "Human", and "1st & Love."
