ArchivesThe new adaptaion of Dreamgirls opens on Friday in New York and LA, and on Christmas for the rest of us, and American Idol 3 finalist Jennifer Hudson’s performance is getting most of the pre-release press. There’s even talk “buzz that she may win an Oscar,” Reuters reports.
“It’s the biggest honor I could possibly get. I’m so grateful. All I wanted was the part, and to hear this now? It’s very exciting,” Jennifer told Reuters.
Jennifer won the role over her fellow American Idol 3 finalist, and the show’s winner, but Fantasia says that’s okay. She tells Entertainment Weekly, “I was a little hurt. … But it wasn’t for me. I remember calling Jennifer. She picked up the phone and I said, ‘Heifer, you took my part!’”
Meanwhile, a report in the Dallas Voice quoted Jennifer as saying that being gay is a sin, but also adding, “I have plenty of gay friends.” But she responded on her MySpace page, saying that, as a result of the story, “My feelings are so hurt and I can’t sleep. Anybody that knows me, knows that just ain’t true. Its makes me so mad that people can twist your words and say anything they want. And, there’s nothing I can do about it, except to say, please don’t believe everything you read.”
