++ Jennifer Hudson is furious over a headline on the black entertainment site Bossip that read “Publishers Would Rather Try To Make Money from the Hudson Family Murders than J.Hud’s Slimmy Trimmy-Dom.” Hudson posted some angry tweets yesterday, including, “everyday I wake up I’m constantly reminded how cruel n heartless the world is.” A Bossip rep has claimed that Hudson misunderstood the headline, saying that Hudson has been “shopping a book about her weight loss for four years, and while publishers are interested, they’re not convinced it’s worth the $1 million she’s reportedly asking for without her talking about her family.”
++ Esquire re-posted its list of the “75 Books Every Man Should Read” late last week, only one of which (A Good Man Is Hard to Find by Flannery O’Connor) was written by a woman. The editors at Joyland responded with their own list of “250 Books By Women All Men Should Read.”
++ “Rickroll,” “iDollators,” “rando”: Keeping up with slang could be a full-time job.
++ As libraries close, the homeless books find shelter in unexpected places.
She better hurry up and get that book published because she’ll be a fatty again, mark my words. Once a fatty, always a fatty.
Takes one to know one, right?
And Jeff, you better hurry up and figure something out for yourself, or you’ll never have anyone to carry on the family name. Once a pathetic virgin message board troll, always a d*bag.
So true. Thanks!
WOW, no wonder JHud feels this is a “cruel n heartless world” with comments like this coming at her. I have been inspired by Jennifer’s committment to and association with Weight Watchers and joined because of it. As obviously you know NOTHING of WW let me enlighten you, its a lifelong committment to eating right & exercising NOT A DIET. And let me just say i feel the best i ever have in my life so to give this up and go back to being a “fatty” as you so delicately put it would be a serious disservice to myself and my health
In your case Jeff, once a loser, always a loser. What a jerk!
Jeff, how mean is your comment, but know this if she does gain weight she has more money than you do to lose it again!!
Oh, now I see. Just to let you know, this thing was incredibly confusing until I figured out each of these was a different story. You should really either separate these things with bullets or something, or you should give each of these lines their own post. Very unprofessional.
Do you also need help tying your shoes?
Okay…I’m probably gonna get ding for this, but I saw the article and I think JHud is thinking to hard on this. I say this because if you read the article, they were on her side, not against her. I think they removed it, because I can’t find it anymore, but it more or less said that instead of publishers liking her weight loss book, no one would publish it unless she disclose personal matters regarding the shooting. That isn’t attacking her, that’s stating facts. the article then went on to say that they commend her for NOT disclosing this information and so on. I can see where she would get mad, because the title was misleading, but again I didn’t get that “attack on her” feeling when I read the article…JMHO!
I can see why she’s upset. You and they are saying her weight loss, her voice and savvy business moves are not enough. You want the dirt on the sad, horrible deaths of her mom, sister and nephew. That she’s nothing without that???
The murders that insane, hateful man who took those lives were out of her control. Now you want to take the remaining control she has over her feelings and their memories away. No wonder she sees this as cruel.
No…the PUBLISHERS who don’t want to buy her book are saying that. Or so I’ve gathered from reading this (I didn’t read the article). But it sounds like the site is just reporting on that idea, that publishers want to hear about her family’s tragedy. It’s sort of like…well, this is an extreme example, but it’s the first that popped into my head: a newspaper reporting on Hitler’s beliefs about Aryans vs. Jews does NOT necessarily agree with or support those beliefs. (Yes, I know this is a gossip site talking about Jennifer Hudson, not a real news agency handling a story of real importance, but…the analogy still works, even if it’s kind of rough.) Anyways. I’m sure Jennifer Hudson is very sensitive about what happened in her family, and that’s perfectly understandable and reasonable, but it does sort of seem like she jumped the gun a bit.
Let’s face it. There are many diet books out on the market. There is nothing unique about her weight loss.
What happened to her family is a little more rare than the messege to eat less, exercise more.
I’ve always wondered how she forgave her sister for bringing a lowlife felon into the family, something only see could share.
Bossip were dillholes for writing the title but in the end they are correct, her feeling on what happened to her family would be of more interest than how she lost weight with the help of Weight Watchers.
men shouldn’t read ANY books by women that tell us how to be good men because 1)good men are already good on their own 2)women can’t tell men how to be anything no more than a man can tell a woman how to be anything .women need to start chosing good men instead of the li’l waynes and thugs.
Hudson seems like a real conceited b***h.
really?i’m curious as to why?i mean,for all i know she could be,but compared to kate hudson or a lot of others,i haven’t seen anything like that from her.
First off, all you haters can do the same as Bossip. Jhud was right on this one. Why do the media keep bring up her family in all her business matters. She does not need that kind of talk to move forward. Jennifer Hudson was famous before the tragedy of her family. She is an award winning actress as well as a singer. Jennifer talent speaks for itself. The business have been trying to crumb snatch top black artist for far to long. I am just happy Jhud knows her worth. Hold on Jen to your value and don’t let the Industry tell you different. They have paid less talented people and worst more. Blacks in the business have to stop given to media bull. Jhud have had the biggest comeback and impack in R&B history.
There are hundreds of weight loss books. And I don’t think the horrible trauma of Ms.Hudsons family needs to be dragged out. The answer is her talent and is she not working more because now she is not that different. She has gone through hell & has an anger understandable. I wish the best for her. She is young, beautiful & talented. Now be nice again that will take time after what happened,
