We know Jennifer Hudson can sing. That is never in despute. Girl suh-layed during her 'American Idol' season, which she didn't win, and won an Oscar for her work in 'Dreamgirls.' Now the former Weight Watchers spokeswoman is back with one heck of a jam called 'Walk It Out,' featuring Timbaland, who lends his vocals and co-produced the track.

Jennifer Hudson shed excess pounds as a spokeswoman for Weight Watchers. Now she has shed her locks, chopping of her thick, black strands, fashioning them into a super short pixie.

Shortly after winning in the category of Best Video With a Social Message at the 2013 MTV VMAs for their hit song ‘Same Love,’ Macklemore and Ryan Lewis delivered a heartfelt rendition of the tune onstage – complete with a surprise guest appearance by none other than the lovely Jennifer Hudson.

Jennifer Hudson has dropped a new tune (her first in two years) called 'Gone, Gone, Gone,' and it's a sexy, throwback R&B song that makes the most of J. Hud's powerhouse voice. The track once again has us questioning how she was ever eliminated from 'American Idol,' which she is rumored to be returning to as a judge.

The judging panel for Season 13 of 'American Idol' is starting to take shape and Jennifer Hudson is reportedly the first celeb to sign on for one of the four open spots.

The latest pop star rumored to be desired -- not to mention ideal -- for a spot on the soon-to-be-revamped 'American Idol' judging panel is none other than Bruno Mars.

'American Idol' is getting desperate for ratings, and they've already cleaned house at the judges' table. To salvage the show, they're looking for fresh blood -- fresh and familiar blood. Producers are reportedly considering 'Idol' alums Adam Lambert, Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson to judge season 13. And we think it's kind of a bang-up idea.

Jennifer Hudson, a onetime Best Supporting Actress winner, donned a long-sleeved, midnight blue lace dress by Roberto Cavalli for the 2013 Oscars. It was certainly a shade not worn by other celebs on the red carpet, and it made her stand out.

The Super Bowl is all about fun times and mirth and merriment. But Super Bowl XLVII kicked off with an emotional moment of incredible weight, when the Sandy Hook Student Chorus from Newton, Conn. stepped onto the field to sing 'America the Beautiful' at tonight's (Feb. 3) big game. The children sang the song on their own before being joined by diva Jennifer Hudson.

R&B superstars Jennifer Hudson and Usher were among the singers and celebrities who paid tribute to Whitney Houston during the CBS special 'We Will Always Love You: A Grammy Salute to Whitney Houston,' which aired Friday (Nov. 16).

Who says you can't wear white after Labor Day? When you are Jennifer Hudson and you look this good in sparkly white on the December cover of Redbook, we say wear white all year round! Plus, it's a festive and appropriate shade for the holidays. Hudson covers up her chest and her arms, with the long-sleeved frock, but look at her  glowy, sheeny legs! Nice choice for showing off those gams, J. Hud.

Some of the biggest names in popular music will remember the life and career of Whitney Houston in an upcoming CBS special featuring live performances by Jennifer Hudson, Usher, Celine Dion and others to be announced. 'We Will Always Love You: A Grammy Salute To Whitney Houston' airs on Friday, Nov. 16 at 10 pm ET.
