ON HER SIZE
“Look, I used to be a size 22. Now, I’m a size 12. When I go to Hollywood stuff, I’m the biggest girl there. And I could care less. I still feel sexy and pretty whoever I’m standing next to because when I’m out in the real world, I’m the size of the average woman. And there is nothing wrong with us. There’s something wrong when you’re just skin and bones. It’s not cute. I love my size, period…. You gotta be comfortable in your own skin! I’m comfortable in mine. I don’t have a problem with it at all. I work with a trainer these days—to tone, not to lose. This jelly ain’t going nowhere.”
ON THE RUMORED FUED WITH BEYONCE
“I’m too busy trying to enjoy my blessings to be dwelling in mess. It’s not about that. It’s supposed to be about enjoying it. But then again, when something is good, people are always gonna try to find something wrong with it and try to throw a monkey wrench in there somewhere. We support each other as much as we did on day one. I mean, come on! That’s Beyoncé! We’d rather see people focus their attention on our work.”
ON FILMING DREAMGIRLS’ “AND I’M TELLING YOU”
“I think that was the most exposing scene, you know? And it was hard because I’m a newcomer, and everybody wants to come and watch the scene being done, so that was a little nerve-racking—like do they really need to have all of these people in the room? And I’m the only person on this stage, other than [co-star] Jamie [Foxx]. Just being able to match the emotion, when it was needed from the different angles, being able to hold on to it—it was a long process, and it was the last week. Everybody else was wrapped, and I was the very last to wrap. It took about three, four days to shoot. I had just shot “One Night Only” and “I Am Changing,” so all three of those, back to back to back… It was a blessing to have such a patient and kind director [Bill Condon] and for him to be able to know how to approach talent and get what he wants and needs from you.”
ON HER LOVE LIFE
“My boyfriend is my childhood sweetheart. We’ve been together since 1999! It’s crazy. I’m the dreamer and he supports my dreams – always has. He’s happy to be my rock and let me fly. I think it makes more sense to date someone outside of showbiz. He is stationary, stable, a home base. I’m on planes, here and there and always on the go. It’d be a whole different story if he was moving around, too. Instead I have a patient, understanding man who’s there for me when I get home. He’s home to me.”

That’s a lot of weight to go from a 22 to a 12. She looks good and she’s doing big things. I just wish she would stop looking so shocked when people talk to her or give her compliments. I can’t wait to see what God has in store for J-Hud!!! She’s highly favored.
Awwww she is so humble….I love her!!!!

She looks really good in this mag and I love how she doesn’t dwell on the negative stuff. You can tell that she knows she’s blessed, she hasn’t let the awards go to her head.
I thought she said she was a 10. She still looks like a 14 to me, but no big deal. Just tell the truth.
Love her.
Maybe since she has set the record straight, some people will ease up on that stupid, nonexistent feud with Beyonce. She also set the record straight on Oprah the other day. It was a great show!
Go Dreamgirls!
By the end of the year, these same ppl on here praising her will be trying to bring her down. I see the future.
Jennifer has SPOKEN………………

SHE LOOKS REAL NICE AND I’M GLAD THERE ISN’T A FEUD WITH HER AND THE OTHER ARTIST FROM DREAMGIRLS.

My mom said the exact same thing! She just needs to tone that down a notch and she’ll be perfect.
#10 You are so wrong for that. LMAO
Jennifer is wonderful! I just hope and pray that all of these people loving her now stay with her through her music career. I know I will be since I’ve been ridin with Jennifer since American Idol.
She is beautiful inside and out. I wish her only the best in all of her endeavors.
as soon as this chick loses weight peopl in here will begin to hate, and counting
THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT GO J HUD!!!
Jhud is cool, congrats to her!!!

I think that J Hud is a good role model and I just hope that she keep up the good work and don’t let the fame go to her head and stay humble
Loving me some Jennifer – does my heart good to see a sister prosper.
MUCH LUCK TO THIS YOUNG LADY JUST STAY HUMBLE!
#10 THAT REALLY WAS NOT NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!
She looks nice, but Beyonce is beautiful!!!!
Just sweet and humble. And the comment about her leaving her man…. HELL NO!! Keep the man get rid of any drama that might hold you back.
@35
This is not about Beyonce…Move on to another blog for that subject please.. J Hud is the shyt and this is her blog…I hate when people try to steal her glow.
I meant @ 36.
My bad @ 35..
She looks great. Im happy for her!
Yall know what, I did mean 35. It’s still a little foggy. Still waking up but I meant what I previously stated. J. Hud is the Shyt right now!
I’m already a star! I got 9 Grammys said:

And that’s the unfortunate truth.
Justlike she said, the devil is always busy.
She is deserving of all of the accolades, awards and opportunities. Proof that when GOD closes one door [AI], he opens another – or many more.
I dont think we will ever stop loving JHUD. She is a diva. Love her.

I rebuke all that negativity in the name of Jesus. The gyrl is blessed (first and foremost and will testify on sight) and talented. Period.
she is beautiful. I really like her. I hope the pressure of hollywood wouldnt make become a stick. She is a 12? wow. I think she is big boned and her height makes her look quite big. She is truly an average woman. I hope they have body shots of her in the magazine because I can only see face shots. They better have body shots as well if not I will know they are insane in the membrane.
No I garuntee give it some time. the same peopel in here praising her will be the ones in here doggin her out. I think the main reason peopl are so vocal in praising Jhud is to spite that other chick from the movie that shall remain nameless. I mean shes just as talented as she was on american idol and she didnt even make it to the top 3 , what happened? B happened. As soon as Jhud loses any more weight and gains more noteriety she will become less relatable then the hate will set in becuase thats what people do.
This girl has such a beautiful spirit – seemingly. I love the fact that she recognizes what’s normal and what isn’t in comparing herself to Hollywood and reality. Stay that way Jen. Others have unfortunately gotten caught up and gone for the knife to fit in only to look jacked up in the end. Love yourself Jen…do you…be you.
GET IT, JHUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shut de hell up courtney
Shut that shit up!! So Damn childish. Jennifer is the ish-
fuck you bitch, dont be talkin shit
you dont know me!!!!!!!!!!!
dont let me see u on the street, bitch!!!!!!!!
now, like i was saying…….
GET IT, JHUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCKIN RETARD
bitch sit yo ass down. like imma be scared of a cyber threat. shut yo ass up, and girl below me, we was playin so u can hush
I LUV U KINDRA, ITS ME
Its her perogative if she decides to loose weight, I will support her in whatever she decides. Her frame supports her size and she looks healthy. Tocarra from A.N.T.M. looks like she lost weight but she is still looking big and healthy. I guess some ppl will b madd just bcuz big girls are making headlines in the new millenium and skinny girls are getting a lot of pressure for setting bad examples to lil girls who are dying to be just like them.
I am a size 6 but my mother is big boned so I got luv for sistahs who represent their size with pride and class like JHUD, Queen Latifa, Raven Simone, Toccara Monique from the Parkers and newly added to the list Tyra. They give woman who are like them confidence to dress sexy and feel beautiful. Everyone in America cant all look the same, variety is the spice of life.
COURTNEY ITS SAM
All of yall stupid ass muthaa fuckas need to get a life
She’s on Oprah’s Pre-Oscar special right now and O just asked her about all the rumors that she and Beyonce aren’t getting along bc Bey wasn’t nominated and she was. J.Hud said it’s so funny how people can make up stuff or say anything about she and Beyonce when they don’t know either one of them personally! She also said Beyonce supports her just like she did from the beginning and that they are both just happy the film is being recognized. She said the rumors are ridiculous!
Oprah said she didn’t believe it anyway. She said the media always tries to put women up against one another but never men. SO TRUE!
Oprah also said…. she is BEYONCE KNOWLES for goodness sakes (saying that she shouldn’t have a reason to be jealous – O even knows that.. lol) and J.Hud agreed. J. Hud also said she’s bringing her mom to the Oscars with her.
I’m so happy that was said. It’s all nonsense!
boi imma choke you!! u is crazy! i was bought 2 get crunk on yo ass 2. lol
hmmmmmm, well i hope all these bandwagon fans support her when her album comes out,y’all know soem of these folks r just liking her to dog beyonce,so dman pathethic and lame.anyhow congrats to jhud on her success
im happy for her.
