Jennifer Hudson Hits A Fashion High Note For “Manhattan
Jennifer Hudson poses for Manhattan
Inside, she talks the challenges she faced with her roles in two new movies, Winnie Mandela and the Alicia Keys co-produced The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete, touches on the drawbacks of fame, and what to expect from her forthcoming album.
Catch a few excerpts below:
On the challenges of playing Winnie Mandela in the upcoming biopic:
It was intimidating to play Winnie after seeing how much she means to the people there. To some she’s an angel and to some she’s Satan, but either way, woo! The strength that woman possesses is amazing. We put so much into the story, and it took a lot out of us.
On the anxiety she faced with her role as a heroin-addicted mother in The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete:
It terrified me to play that part because I had no reference point. I’m 31 and I’ve never, ever, ever had a drink or done a drug in my entire life. I stick with Diet Coke and Crystal Light and water. (Instead, two recovering addicts who shared their stories and taught her the mannerisms of users coached the actress). That was extremely brave of them. They’re sitting there, telling me all these things about being incarcerated and losing their children—and who am I? I’m still a stranger to them.
On the drawbacks of fame:
It’s strange when you’re, like, grown, and you can’t go places by yourself, because you might cause a scene. I’ll literally be sitting in a quiet room waiting for the next thing to happen, thinking, ‘Are they coming to get me yet?’ My baby doesn’t understand why I can’t go here or there with him, because I don’t want to put him in a bad position. I always look at everyday people and think: They have no idea how blessed they are – how good they have it that they can do whatever they choose.
On what to expect from her forthcoming album:
This record is not about me playing a part or me as a spokesperson.’ Should I give away the title?’ Let’s just say you’re gonna get Jennifer-ized.
What we’re doing [in the studio] feels so right that I never want to go home. My sister and my manager will be sleeping on the couch while we work until 4 or 5am.

Tami Roman Replaces Tamar Braxton As New ‘Tiny Tonight’ Co-host
Tami Roman certainly has no intentions of slowing down. The ‘Basketball Wives’ reality star has just gotten a new gig, we think, she’s perfect for. She will be replacing singer Tamar Braxton on VH1′s late night talk show, ‘Tiny Tonight’.
Revealing the news, Tami tweeted, just days ago, “Joining the girls of Tiny Tonight, cant wait 2work w/ @TinyMajorMama TRINArockstarr & @claudiajordan -Thank U Tiny!”
The show includes, Tameka ‘Tiny’ Harris, of course, and her lovely co-hosts TV personality Claudia Jordan, rapper Trina and her best-friend and hair stylist Shekinah.
As for Tiny’s former co-host, Tamar Braxton, Ms. Tamar is actually quite busy these days. And her busy schedule may be the very reason she departed from the show.
Between filming two reality shows, ‘Braxton Family Values’ and ‘Tamar & Vince’, Tamar is also a new mom to baby boy Logan Herbert, she recently wrapped up a six weeks trial run for daytime talk show, “The Real”, and she’s currently celebrating the success of her debut album, ‘Love & War’.
Talk about a busy schedule…sheesh!
Welcoming Tami to the show, here’s what Claudio Jordan tweeted.
“Everyone please welcome >> @TamiRoman to the cast of Tiny Tonight joining myself, @TinyMajorMama @TRINArockstarr Returning Sept 20th to VH1!”
She also tweeted, “Awww so good to hear all the positive feedback about #TinyTonight Returning to VH1. Looking forward to it!”
And here are the two ladies together during a recent event.
We shouldn’t be very surprised Jordan
We hope, by now, they were able to make a mends. The show premieres September 20th.
Are you excited, as we are, to see Tami join the show?
RHOA’ NEWS! Kenya Moore

K. Michelle on Lance Stephenson Cheating on her: “He tells me”
K. Michelle was sitting down with 97.9 to discuss her days as a stripper and or course Lance, when they got on the topic of her current boo she basically confirms that he cheats, but the difference is he tells her. She should just get FAIL tatted across her forehead.
Forward to the 4:00 minute mark, that is where she starts. Look I know men do what they do, but K. Just needs to go ahead and keep her mouth shut about her relationships from now on or until she has come across that one, because clearly she can’t get it right with no one or she is picking the wrong people. Monogamy isn’t for everyone it’s out in the open. It’s not really cheating if he tells her it sounds like they have an open relationship. That however is her business. The damn boy is 23… He still wants to play…..
Listen:
Is she serious?
Is she serious?

Black Panties are flying onto shelves this November. R. Kelly has set a release date for his upcoming album.
The R&B veteran’s 12th album will arrive on Nov. 11, he announced during a listening session in Atlanta
“If you can take tragedy and turn it into triumph, that’s when you’ve reached the zenith of a true champion,” said Kellz. “Don’t mean to be too deep but this shit is real. I didn’t run under a rock and go over here or there. I stayed focused. And I’m more focused then ever.”
