Hope the album is as good as the photos….
Imma go a head an give her props. She’s really improved. I wish she would utilize a stylist at all times and not just for shoot. Cuz she was looking quite hulled earlier this week.
Very cl*****y
GOOD MORNING FOLKS!

She looks really nice, http://www.girlfriendchurch.com where we encourage ladies to put on makeup to make yourself look better. she doesnt look like she is wearing a walmart special, i am suprised that she can look so semi-hi fashion! go girl!
NICE NICE atleast someone whos got talent to go along with my cuppa
Her skin is absolutely flawless in these pics! Go J-hud!
Go J-Hud!
Do your thang…I am waiting for her album
She kinda went back to the “Effie” look in last two thumbnails. I love the edgy shoulder length bob photos more.
Good Morning. I am up early. She looks fantastic. I would like this man to take my photo for my gravatar
My favorite picture is the one that shows her side profile shot with the feathers.
the driving profile pic looks like Missy elliot. Nice photos
Fabulous!!!
Good Morning Ery’Body!!!!
Morning peeps:
@NIK: Who you inviting to stay the night? LOL!
J-Hud- Doing the damn thing, this girl has an amazing personality to me and it shows in what ever she does, it’s like she is saying I’m doing ME, “F” what you heard!
KZZME….
Oh you know
WOW!!!!!!!! Goodness, I’m proud, she’s finding what looks good on her, and this is fantastic. That second thumbnail is my favorite.
Goodmorning fellow bossipers…and Virgo’s!
@SWEETCHEEKS: Morning Ma!
Re….
Im ‘J’ of yall Virgo crew….cause my bday is in May…but HELLO anyhoos..
@RE: What’s hap’n Ma? “VIRGO”S do the damn thang all the time! (in my frankie voice) (“HOLLA”)! LOL!
In the main pic she sorta resembles Tocarra…
@Acacia
Your haircut is cute, I saw your gravatar on another blog and thought “yeah thats a cute doo”!
@NIK: That’s o.k my mom’s b-day is in May she is a Taurus and she’s like my “Bestest Friend”! (HUGGS)!
@2cute4u
Thanks. My mom cut it. She’s a starving artist (ha ha) That was on my birthday…I was on it!!!!!!!!!
she looks fab I can’t hate If I tried
That’s what I like about some people on here, as females you guys are not afraid to compliment the next chick! That was nice of you @2Cute! (HUGS)! I can’t stand jealous females!
I’m afraid of Tauruses.
KZZ…..
I AM a Taurus and stubborn as the day is long…
This Derek Blanks character is hella talented. I’d also be interested to know what makeup artists he works with.
get em’ Effie! Looking quite spectacular in all these shots. One time for Team Chunk!
@ACacia: Yeah it was your b-day, LOL! cuz I was like oh girl look like she took one or 2 back, or the almighty “L” had you…LOL I hear that girl, I will be like that starting the 22nd until the 25th: LOL!
Acacia…..
NO DONT BE!!! We are lovers not fighters (except when you ***** us off then you have an enemy for life) but we are loyal (until you play us to the left) we are givers (until you take too much then you will never get another thing in life)….
@Kzzme
…Our day draws near…Bush should make it a Federal Holiday. I’m not even playing, I’m seriously doing it up this year…got some bad azz BCBG shoes for it too
@Nikki
Aw, baby don’t be “J,” all birthday’s are the greatest day of the year no matter what month. Personally I like Summer and Spring b-days because there’s a lot more you can do in warmer weather.
@NIKK: I know U R and I only blog with you but I knew that ***** from back when! LOL! but it’s all good Ma, my mom is too but I have a way of getting around all that, I just treat her the same all the time! but that’s why she is my GIRL! because I am the totally opposite! (HUGGGS)!
And NIK! yall don’t back down from *****ody, independent as all HELL! could careless if anybody wants to agree with your azzes, because yall still do whatever floats your boat! LOL!
GLAMOUR…..
Great Pictures!
Girl….Don’t even get me started. My man said we were gonna celebrate all week. I damn near felt like Oprah (it’s already understood without that kinda cash flow)I couldn’t get my twin to leave his barbershop for nothing…but I am blessed and thankful.
She looks stunning; really nice pics…good to see her using a great stylist on this one-love the short hair with the purple highlights-so cute.
Wow she looks great in these photos. Cl*****y and sexy without being bent over with a thong on. I’m loving the 3rd thumbnail because it shows her body in its normal shape not that crazy skinny thing they did for her album cover. Keep it up JHud!
pretty pics
@RE: See I knew you and I were cyber buddies for a reason, girl I love me some BCBG shoes, I tell you my closets are screaming!
@NikkiU
My older brother is a Taurus but he is on some other ish right now. I feel like a scared puppy when approaching him. He’s my only reference…but your summary seems to fit him.
good morning to all!!
i must say I am quite impressed with jennifer’s look she is truly fiercing it up its amazing what money can do
LOL! @ ACacia! Iknow that’s right!
@KZZ
Yeah girl, thats right celebrate all month long if you can!! Hell I still got one more vacation left coming up for my birthday and it was in July!
You too Re!! “CELEBRATION TIME COME ON”!!! Get ya’lls Kool and The Gang on!!
GREAT Pics!
Somebody will come here and smash Jhud pics trust me!
WHY IN THE HELL IS BOSSIP BLOCKING ME!!??
The makeup is nice, but I am on the fence in regards to the styling. She needed pictures like these when her name was in everyone’s mouths. Now, I fear no one will really take that much interest in her album when it comes out.
Acacia….
Cause yo bro is a lunnie
KZZME & Re….
Im goin hard fa yall…Jeezy gone be here on the 23rd…
@2Cute: Girl, I know I feel like I should be celebrating all month but I didn’t take enough time off! now I wish I would’ve! LOL!
LETS TRY THIS AGAIN!!
@ACACIA, CUTE GRAVIE!
GOOD MORNING 2CUTE4U & KZZME
J-HUD PICTURES ARE BEAUTIFUL, AND I CANT WAIT FOR HER ALBUM. THE GIRL GOT A BEAUTIFUL VOICE.
@NikkiI have about 3 close friends who are Taurus’ so I think Virgos and Taurus’ understand each other.
They are stubborn as hell when they “think they are right” which is often. You don’t want to be on the wrong side of them. But I think Virgos are strong enough to stand up to them but let them be them.
LOL @ Too Cute 4 U (((high five)))
@Kzzme…see you and I need to go shopping…now if I could just recieve millions of dollars (((checking my bank acct sadly)))
@NIK: I know you will represent our B-days 2 the fullest! I think I will be doing enough for anybody’s B-day who is in the month of August! LOL!
@SXYQ: Girl you must’ve said something they did not feel was appropriate, b-cuz they will block you! MOrning by the way!
Morning Folks! J-Hud looks great-her skin and makeup are flawless! That’s how we sistas get down–so versatile and so fyne we are! Now if I can just get my fyne a$$ through these next two days till I get paid again…
Woo-Hoo!!!!
3 words…FAB U LOUS!
youtube.com/liondashs

Tell him to say, “I wanna give a shout out to Nikki’s friends on the internet site Bossip, named Kiss Me Right There and Re!”
@BE_REAL: I’d say you hit that ***** right on th head! Murning 2 ya!
@RE: Girl, I will put it to you this way, you have to wear comfortable shoes when shopping with kzz (((be able to make a full day)))! Smile! when my car is pulling out of the driveway and headed to the mall there is only 2 people who will go with me! LOL! my sister(sometimes)! and my best friend! Can you hang?

Goodmorning Dana Dane!!
SHE’S BEAUTIFUL. .
Yo, this dude Derek Blanks is NICE!!!
The lighting, the make-up… Everything is perfect…
Jennifer Hudson is looking real good…
I THINK SHE LOOKS GREAT!!! I LOVE THE MIX OF SHOTS WITH THE MASCULINE ONES IN THE CAR AND THE FEMINIE ONES ON THE HOOD OF THE CAR!! I LIKE THIS GUY A LOT. HE IS VERY TALENTED!!
oh my. I’m at a loss. J Hud is killing me softly.
I’m just gonna stare and stare and stare until that top comes off…
(i love a thick chick and) J-Hud’s got me hypnotized.
she looks very good, good luck with the new album
YOUR JUST TO BEAUTIFUL GIRL,,,, SHE REMINDS ME OF
ME BEAUTIFUL AND THICK,,,,,,,,REPRSENTING THE THICK LADY’S,,,,,GOOD J-HUD
The photographer was good, but lets also big up the re-toucher. Its amazing the way her skin looks like powder.
should have toned up the neck, shoulders and chest just like they did the facial features. she’s smoking it, you go jenny!
sxyq… whats up girl … check your email!!!
Kzzy… good morning to you lady!!!!!
Sounds like a bunch of lazy coons on here.
These are her best pic thus far!
She does look spectacular in this pic,, Good luck on the album Jen
Acacia (Who Am I?)(Check me out!)
I’m afraid of Tauruses.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^6
Why are you afraid of Taurus? just curious cuz Im one.
watch.. soon they’ll be referring to j-hud as sexy
she looks amazing!
Mornin Bossip ppls that i know…LOL!!!
J-Hud look sooooooooooooooooooo pretty on these pics. I saw her pic on display @ the Black Expo a couple weekends ago.
One word…gorgeous!!
GORGEOUS! I have to admit, although I rarely see her look that spectacular in live shots. She should keep that style because If I see her in an outfit with a high waisted belt again I will do an MJ and SCREAM! …btw love the short hair on her
This guy is good! She looks HOT!!!
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! MUCH IMPROVEMENT FROM THE PAST FEW YEARS AND SHOOTS. SHE HAS GOT TO BE MOST IMPROVED OF 2008. SHE ALSO HAS GOTTEN HER MIND, BODY AND SOUL RIGHT SINCE SHE LEFT THE EX AND BAGGAGE. SOMETIMES THATS WHAT YOU NEED TO GET TO THE REAL AND BEST YOU POSSIBLE! GOOD FOR HER
She looks wonderful. Yes thick sistas are making a coming back. Skinny Beezys beware ya man want something he can work with.
ooOOOOooooOOOO WWWWeeeeEEEEEeee!!!!
what is this secret war between skinny women and the thicker persuasion..its all love. Plus thick women never went out of style yall just started covering up
The only reason that black women are complimenting Jennifer Hudson is because she is OVERWEIGHT. Just like the majority of black women are OVERWEIGHT. It enables them when they see another OVERWEIGHT sister. So now they wanna jump on her team. Effing annoying. But when Tyra or C*****ie or Selita Ebanks or Chanel Iman or Naomi or someone else is up here. There’s all this hate.
Get ‘em Jenny!!!
She could get it! She may need a K-Fraud in her life if this album drops hot!!!
ALL THE BEST BABE!!!
@ raina
the majority of white women are overweight, too. In fact obesity is an epidemic in this country.
Jennifer looks good. It’s not about size.
The majority of people in the C*****ie post yesterday said she looked hot, but talked about her comments.
It was mostly the men calling her skinny but saying they’d still hit.
FIERCE!!!!
she still needs to lose weight.
she’s pretty…..but lift that skirt….unstrap that girdle……and watch them gust spill out…
^^Funny^^ . The pics are nice, but for the most part she looks older than she is. She needs to loose the gut and show little more skin. Just my opinion.
She SMASHED EM !!! GORGOUS Photo’s @ raina & I not complementing her because she’s thick I can only wish I’m 5′9 / 130lbs been trying to gain weight for damn near 10 yrs, had a baby went from 141 to 117 made it back to 130 been stuck every since, so it’s not about the size thwe sista just looks damn good here
Does anybody see the resemblence to Jennifer Lewis? or is it just me???
very nice pics, the camera can do magic
Yeah she looking hot.
Beautiful woman, and an extraordinary talent. Unfortunate Clive, has yet to figure, what exactly is her niche market. Or better yet, and best of all, bring her to a broader audience. There is the American Idol thing, There is the Oscar thing. And yet Jennifer Hudson is not a house hold name? It is obvious, that there is something wrong with the milk….
Clive is unable to define her market, and in this business, that can be the kiss of death, no matter how talented the act.
Clive, use to be a master at this, however with the ever changing music climate. And lets face it, Clive, although a master in the business, is no longer a spring chicken.. I think maybe at this point, for both parties, and the best interests of both parties, is to part ways. Yes J.H won an Oscar. However if you ask most house holds, in America who Jennifer Hudson is, the people of lesser skin pigmentation would draw a blank. This is where Clive is failing her.
By the time Whitney Houston had her first album released, everyone white, black, brown, yellow, red, and orange person knew her name.
And they did this, without the added benefit of an Oscar. Or the exposure of the millions of viewers of American Idol. Clive get Jennifer into a studio, with the best song writers, musicians, and arrangers, just like you did for Whitney, or you are going to lose this one. (Mark my words.)
And that would be a shame, because she could be as good, or even better than the old Whitney, ever was.
Clive I know and love you, but it just may be time to……… ARTOFWAR.
I thought it was toccara
raina i understand why you’re upset. it’s been posted that someone caught you in the women’s bathroom standing up peeing. Hmmmmm. Ya thought no one saw you didn’t you girly? You jiggled that thing and nestled it snugly back in the comfort of your victoria secret’s. jhud might be big but at least she doesn’t have a big package. tsk tsk tsk
I hope this sistah blows up because I’ve been really starting to feel her. Did Obama call you yet, Shorty?
She looks fab
You go J.Hud..you doin’ yo thang.
Cool! Thanks for sharing this article!!
