Hollywood Wiretap reports that Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson (Dreamgirls) is playing fellow Oscar winner Forest Whitaker’s daughter in Winged Creatures, now shooting in Los Angeles.

Hudson joins Kate Beckinsale, Dakota Fanning, Guy Pearce, Jackie Earle Haley, Jeanne Tripplehorn and Embeth Davidtz in the film, being directed by Rowan Woods (Little Fish).

  8. MELLY MEL

    Lol. Well, i’m sure all the J-Hud haters will have something negative to say about this.LOL. Whoever thaught that her movie career would be over after Dreamgirls better get ready and get used to her. I heard that she will be starring in another movie based on the life of Jackie Robinson.

    I say get that money girl! The world ain’t ready for J-Hud!

  9. Meatloaf

    Will Forrest be giving Jennifer any “fatherly” kisses on the lip in this role???

    Angel, you too much with that X in the corner, Boo! lol I’m glad you’re back! School must be kicking yo ass! lol

    Today is the final day of the weeklong “Midol Summit” and some of the Loopettes have been spittin fire! Tianna did a great job, she knows how to make us crazy! hehe! How are you gonna top her Kelly interview? You know you gotta come with something extra! I know, you could interview Beyonce’ and turn this mofo out! hehe!

  10. Asentha

    I wonder if the film will be good. We’ll see.

  11. Good for her! Get that money while you can Jennifer, you know how fickle Hollywierd is….love ya one minute and hate ya the next.

  12. PINK

    ROTFLMAO!!!! I see “Ms Chanel Chick” aint have nothin else to say! I know thats right Angel….anyway, i hope this movie does well…JHud gotta lotta haters to shut up!!!!

  13. this should be good…..with Forest and Jennifer and Dakota Fanning ,she never disappoints…she’s a very talented youngest.

    OTS(off- the- subject)Tianna’s new photo is cute,uh? She looks like Nikki”hepwez”/”Hoopz” in that picture-Don’t nobody get no “ish” started, that is a compliment.

  14. DIVA

  17. vexxed

    ummm K. J-Hud hoopla ….. I’m over it now. Just that quick.

  18. hollabackgurl

    HMMMMMMM………I WONDER HOW MUCH JHUD IS PAYING CL TO SAY POSITIVE THINGS ABOUT HER,LOL. AT LEAST SHE WAS SMART ENOUGH NOT TURN DOWN THIS MOVIE ROLE(MANAGEMENT MUST HAVE STEPPED IN,LOL)

  19. “The story follows the witnesses to a brutal murder suicide in a fast food restaurant as they cope with the aftermath of the incident and how they affect the people who help them along the way.”

    And I am telling you…Iiiiii’m not going. You’re the best deep fryer I’ll ever know!!

  20. maya

    Perhaps I’m just a bit slow today but I don’t understand the plot you just described Angel. Was it a murder or a suicide?Either way I’m happy for Jennifer to get her acting chops with such fine cast members.

  21. jayla06

    Some people are so stupid LMFAO!! Some of you guys couldn’t wait for her to fall flat on her face (talking about 15 minutes being up lol). Dreamgirls is over and J-Hud is still doing the damn thing. I read about her playing the role of Jackie Robinson’s wife in his biopic movie (which she will most likely get). She’s also highly being looked at to play “Aretha Franklin” in her biopic movie. She has an already highly talked about album that’s already in the works (with great producers). She has a single with Ne-Yo (which he say’s she blew that shit out the water). I think it’s safe to say, SHE”S HERE TO STAY LOL!!!

  22. Thats great She seems to be a natural actress she better roll w/it.

    “FREE SHAQUANDA COTTON THE SAGA CONTINUES UNTIL SHE IS FREE”

  23. Meatloaf

    I guess big people are in this year! Go Forrest and J-Hud…y’all representing the full-figured people! I know they gonna have chicken wings and biscuits on the set everyday! Jen and Forrest can probably knock off a whole trough of wings!

  24. calmsensual1

    i thought she turned down that one role a few weeks ago cause she wanted to work on her album. So why’s she doing this film?

  25. otto

    J-Hud? Please, enough with the J-nicknames. Her name is Jennifer Hudson, not J-Hud. That sounds just as dumb as J-Lo. Saying it sounds like you’re trying too hard to be cool.

  26. Get it

    ******************************************************Who do you think came up with this name? It was Jennifer’s idea to name herself J-Hud. She posted it on her myspace page a long time ago and even recorded a song about it. J-Hud, Jlo, Bey… Every star have to have a nickname…

  27. David

    LMAO @ Angel’s comment.

    Let em kno!

    I mean shit… the fuck you complainin about? This is a BLACK NEWS SITE. So they’re supposed to just NOT REPORT what goes on in Black News just cause you tired of hearing about Jennifer? GO TO SLEEP! Thanks.

    Anyway… this movie sounds OFF THE CHAIN. This is a good look for Jen. And Forrest is gonna kill it you kno. I will be in the theater to see that.

  28. LAKRISHA FROM INGLEWOOD

    TO ALL THE NAYSAYERS AND HATERS, “OH WELL, GUESS HER 15 MINUTES OF FAME NOT UP YET.” LMAO. Now watch the haters swarm in here like rabbid dogs!

    Go Jennifer. I’m too proud of you.

  31. Compton_Chick23

    Yes!!! Thank you Angel La! SWSNBN fall back! This is a good change after seeing “you know who” too much this week.

  32. Woode29

    Jen better step her game up…Forrest is one serious actor…Jen…keep working on them arms! they still look big mama-ish..

  33. Gisellé

    The movie sounds good already. Make that money Jhud!

  34. TIA

    Compton_Chick23 is obbsessed with beyonce

  35. A JHud post with 37 comments?! What the hell is going on?

  36. Tammy'sGotDimples

    @Maya, A murder suicide simply means that the person killed someone else and then killed themself. It’s ok to be confused, the way it’s worded sounds a bit redudant. :)

  37. Lulu

    Probably because the role isn’t that big in this movie, since it has already been filming before she was attached on the IMDB site. The other one was probably for a bigger role. And yes she has expressed interest to do the JACKIE Robinson movie , but that doesn’t shoot til summer.

  38. @21

    a murder suicide is when the someone is killed (that part is the murder), and the killer kills themself (that part is the suicide).

    —————————————————–

    movie sounds interesting. love forest and dakota. dont know about jennifer’s acting cause i have never seen dreamgirls, but…i believe the hype.

  39. MAYA

    Thanks for clearing that u Tammy : )

    Lol at MJ!Don’t rile them up sweety, they’re still at work. Wait till the evening-you’ll regret those words lol.

  40. DIAMOND PRINCESS

    Oh hell yea, I know this movie going to be off the chain this year. Especially with all these A-list stars.

    I am so glad to see Jennifer again get her shine in hollywood cause she damn well deserve it. See this is what happens when you have enough diginity to turn down a stupid ass movie and get a much better one to star in. And she’s in getting ready to film 3 more movies too.

    So whoever is hating can fall back, stay in ya’ll lane, watch her shine, kiss her ass and then kiss mine. Bye!

  41. Tammy'sGotDimples

    Ju welcome mami! :D

  42. cookie monster

    I wonder is she gonna start filming this after she’s finished with her album.

  43. Cali

    Hate on haters because J Hud is doing the damn thing and for all you that don’t like it read Angela’s comment above #4!

  44. jscene

    @26 Otto

    Who are you to say something sounds dumb! And unless Otto is your name, isn’t that a nick name ignormas? Gheesh, please say it is, cause if it’s not…someone needs a bullet for naming you that. Your name sounds like it belongs to a “big dumb galoot.” You probably a muthafuckin janitor trying to be a shot caller on Concreteloop. You probably sitting there in that seat with dirty underwear on with not even a dollar in your pocket, yet you trying to call shots and tell people what their names should be. Get the fuck outta here. She’s J-Hudd all day long bitch.

  45. mrs. sands

    Paper up before you get put out Jen!!! Good for you.

  46. It’s Friday? Where’s the Week In Review?

  47. Grace

    Good one @4 and @42

  48. SassyTeri

  49. Derrion

    damn angel dont u think u was a lil too hard on the commenter i mean it really hav been alot of jhud stories goin around i mean who really care she doin gud she alrite but she aint all that

  50. cdnyc

    @Angel: Get em’ straight. LOL!!

    I read they are still trying to work everything around Jennifer’s recording schedule. I hope it works out. I think she would learn a lot from a veteran like Forest. Go Jen!!!

  51. This is still too short for a Jennifer H. post. Do I have to mention “The Name” to stir things up?

  52. Go Jen !!!!! I’m patiently waiting for her cd to come out!

  53. [team.HOV&BEE]

    LIKE I SAID BEFORE, JENNIFER HUDSON IS NOT AN ACTRESS, SHE MAY BE A SONGSTRESS BUT SHES NOT AN ACTRESS.

    HER AGGRESSION IN DREAMGIRLS IS WHAT GOT HER AN OSCAR.

    I DOUBT SHE WILL EVER BE NOMINTAED AGAIN OR HAVE AS MUCH SUCCESS WITH ANOTHER MOVIE.

    SHE’LL JUST BE ANOTHER FAT ACTRESS.

    NOW FOREST WHITAKER THIS HAS BEEN ALONG TIME COMING AND HIS OSCAR WAS WELL DESEREVED.

    JENNIFER HUDSON HAS ONLY 10 MORE MINUTES OF FAME LEFT HOPEFULLY SHE USES THEM WISELY.

  54. [team.HOV&BEE]

    YEAH AND I COULD CLICK THAT LIL X BUT IM NOT.

    THIS IS QUITE ENTERTAINING.
