JENNIFER HUDSON TURNS DOWN 3 MIL ROLE..

Friday, March 9, 2007

jhud_nonude.jpg
Academy Award winning actress Jennifer Hudson has turned down a $3 million role in a Warner Bros. movie because of a nude scene. Ready for the twist? It wasn’t Jennifer’s character that gets naked.

The Dreamgirls star says that she will never appear in a film that features nudity because she is a role model to aspiring young black women. So I guess we won’t be seeing a Jennifer Huson nude scene anytime soon. As stupid as that may be, you must applaud her for sticking to her convictions especially when a big paycheck it being flaunted under her nose. But if that was me, I would have been cashing that check right about now. She wasn’t the one getting naked..

oh crap i was second
i appreciate jhud sticking to her guns and i have a lot of respect for her but this is HOLLYWOOD the land of sex and nudity, shes gonna have to get used to it

changing the subject a little, i will always have a million times more respect for angela basset than halle berry becuase angela refuses to act in roles that portray black women in a negative manner. in contrast halle evidently doesn’t give a damn, as monsters ball proved. i will always have more respect for the jhuds and angela’s of hollywood than the women to take their clothes off at the first sign of a camera

I have a feeling Virgin J-Hud will not be working much in hollywood… she better get a pop image fast so she can push some albums.

I hope this doesn’t turn into one of those missed fantastic opportunities for Jen, you know the ones where the movie goes on to be a HUGE success and the actor/actress regrets passing up the role but won’t admit it…but for 3 mil…MONEY IN THE BANK!!

Yeah I can say good for her but if she plans to make it in Hollywood she needs to rethink some things…B/C me personally I would have been at the bank right now….If it were not her character getting nude then hey Oh Well….She can still be the role model for young women that she wants to be just a little richer…..But gone girl you have your morals and don’t let money compromise them…

15.

Friday, March 9, 2007 /

good for her. its rare that people put their principles over paychecks. Even though I don’t necessarily agree with the decision, I got to give to her. Anyway, even if this turns hollywood against her, there is always Tyler Perry.

sounds like the movie was crap and Jhud did a very smart pr move.

bs….she prob already has a bigger role …during that time

if she was so against the film she wouldnt have to make it public what she is doing…just dont do the movie and keep it moving…

sorry im sick of jhud..

thanks…

She’s still new the game. She’s got to remember she’s in hollywood. Sex sells, as long as she is not the one getting naked or being disrespected she shouldn’t worrry about it. But hey I’ll bet ya her tune changes as the years go by.

If that’s true, kudos to her - refreshing to see that there are still some ppl in this world whose morals aren’t clouded by money.

Friday, March 9, 2007 /

$3 mil isn’t a lot of money compared to Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts and them chicks commanding upwards of $25 mil….. I say, she did well to keep her principles. People don’t understand how Hollywood can change who you are. Go Ms. Jennifer!

What was the context of the scene and why do people of “high moral standard” always associate nudity with something negative? Nude does not always mean porn.

There must be some missing pieces to this story. Do any of you know what the movie is about?

24.

honee

Friday, March 9, 2007 /

I don’t get the whole correlation of her being a role model and the other person being naked. Was she doing something to him in a sexual way while she was clothed or was she even included in the scene with the naked person. I need more info. before I go applauding her courage becase this just sounds like b.s. used to make her seem like the sanctified asexual black woman.

25.

Audwin

Jennifer is brilliant! Doing a movie with nude scenes in it (even if it’s not you) is like doing R&B music with curse words in it. You’re selling out!

There is more money in having a clean image, just ask Raven Symone. There is nothing but heartache in having dirtier image, just ask Britney Spears…

Peace

IT AIN'T YA BEAUTY, IT'S YA BOOTY

Friday, March 9, 2007 /

That sounds just a bit too self-righteous if you ask me. Yeah okay, YOU don’t condone nudity so why don’t YOU be the one in the film showing these fans of yours that it’s okay to showcase your talents without exploitation. With that type of ridiculous way of thinking, casting directors will definitely be type-casting her as the big black friend/mom/sister/etc. Or just won’t be considering her all together. I mean, the girl sang her ass off in Dreamgirls and blew us away with “And I’m Am Telling You,” but that’s just it…….she SANG for nearly every scene and didn’t give much dialogue. Aside from all the singing, her performance was minimal. She’s slighly overrated and I don’t think she deserved the Oscar. Don’t get me wrong, she’s a great singer, but I don’t think she has an acting career ahead of her.

Shit, I would have taken that 3 million so damn fast! Especially when I’m not the one getting naked. I don’t know Miss Hudson, you better re-think that one. 3 mill? Come on!

Friday, March 9, 2007 /

WOW.

This is funny… She’s a role model? Okay, maybe she is, please, I’m sure at some part of her day she has to take off her clothes, just like anybody else, but says she wont do the movie cause there’s nudity? People get full of themselves sometime. Is nudity not reality? She’s a role model, so she’s gonna pretend that people are never without clothes? That’s unrealistic. I’m sure she’ll have other movie roles headed her way, but she wasnt even the person being nude. Stupid is stupid.

Who In Da Hell Left Da Gate Open?

Friday, March 9, 2007 /

It’s not Jennifer Hudson’s fault. She’s not a true actress. Bless her heart. Acting is a craft. It’s something she hapened to stumble upon. Nudity is not bad. But hey, thanks for thinking of us when you said no to the role Jennifer. That could’ve been a bad experience for us all. Keep saying no to opportunities Jennifer. Come next year you won’t be J-Hud, you’ll be J-Who?

34.

FUKK that! Okay, Jennifer better not start limiting herself at this point.
Maybe she oughtta just stick to singing. I mean, she already has the Oscar!
Was the nudity involving a sex scene? Anything pornographic? Or could it have been a movie featuring ppl in the Africa bush? C’mon.

jhud may have turned this role down but
she is the new spokesperson for AVON cosmetics,
is working on a new album, and is in talks with directors Spike Lee and Quentin Tarrantino on future film projects

37.

Tanna

Friday, March 9, 2007 /

Good for Jennifer for sticking to her guns. Too many people in the industy sell their souls for a buck. I would like to know, though, what the nude scene is about. All nudity is not bad. How would this nude scene harm her role model status anymore than the drug use in Dreamgirls would?

38.

Meatloaf

Friday, March 9, 2007 /

The politically correct thing for J-Hud would be to just say No to nude movies, and don’t give the reason! She’ll learn like Tim Hardaway learned about saying he hated gays and Krammer using the n-word! Keep some of that $#!T to yourself! The first rule of Poker, don’t show your hand if you don’t have to!

Now, on another note, its obvious that some people have never been under the annointing or led by the spirit! When J-Hud wakes up in the morning, money comes knocking at her door! She can’t explain it, but she knows what beliefs she plans to hold on to! She’s on a roll and now is not the time to sell out like Eva, Heather and Halle!

Raven has kept a clean image and she’s worth $400 million! J-Hud might not do HBO, but she can do Disney! J-Hud is saying, “when the CD drops and my tour comes to your city, feel safe to bring your children!” Black folks need another role model since it seems that the Brown are through! lol

BTW, J-Hud is also sticking with her “homie” boyfriend! More of you sisters should consider the maintenance worker, phone rep or the deliveryman and stop looking for the six figure man with my looks! Angel already has this $#!T on lock! Aim low!

And, Speaking of Angel, I’m shocked at you Boo for cashing that check, but I would give you $3 million to see yo stuff! hehe!

THIS IS JUST A RUMOR..JHUD HAS NIPPED THIS IN THE BUD ON HER WEBSITE. HER MODERATOR ON THE SITE, WHO IS HER FRIEND STATED THAT THIS WAS FALSE AND SHE WAS NEVER OFFERED SUCH A ROLE..PLUS SHE IS FOCUSING ON HER ALBUM RIGHT NOW ANYWAY. PLEASE DON”T TAKE THAT INFO AS FACT..

42.

Quiche-A

Friday, March 9, 2007 /

Yeah good for her but let’s see how long it takes for Hollywood to suck all those values and morals right out of her! My mama always says, “start out like you’re gonna hold out” so J-Hud has put it out there, now she better stick to it.

43.

compton_chick23

Friday, March 9, 2007 /

She does not need to be turning down roles over dumb stuff like that. Her acting wasn’t all that great in Dreamgirls other than the way she acted when she was doing them singing parts, so she needs to take whatever she can get before she has to do Norbit 2: Eddie Murphy’s Revenge.

44.

Friday, March 9, 2007 /

Hollywood is feelin Jhud right about now. This is just one of many offers she’ll probably turn down. She’s workin w/Clive among others, I doubt if she even cares about $3 mil and a wack movie.

Ya’ll should consider all sides of this, especially since you muthafuckas haven’t read the script. It might’ve been more than just a titty shot that influenced her decision.

Why is everyone so quick to call her dumb?

45.

I have a feeling sooner or later folks are gonna get tired of her. This whole role model bull shit is just bull shit. Are you serious? I guess she gonna be sticking into doing “Disney” movies….

i think most of you HATERS need to take a few lessons from miss thing here. i mean she wants to stick to her views on setting a good example for young afro-american females…as well as other minorities. look at her, she didnt even have to get naked in dreamgirls and she won the oscar. shit she’s jus tryna show u that u can still get respect without taking your clothes off (that goes for all you skimpy shirt and skirt wearin hos out there thats only fuckin 12!) have some dignity!

Since when do young black women not get naked? Why would we view her differently because she was in a movie with a nudity scene? I think I need more info cuz right now that just sounds like a bunch of bullshit

wow…ppl on this site can get pretty vicious and judgemental over OTHER FOLK’S MONEY. Whether she takes the role or not (or whether or not it was even offered), has no bearing on our lives personally. She made a decision that best suited her needs. There will hardly be a shortage of people willing to take these roles as many of you stated you’d have already been to the bank cashing yours checks. Can we just let her live?

@50 i read what angel la wrote. i wasn’t talking about HER. i basically meant that she probably feels you dont have to necessarily be either nude or in a nude scene with someone to gain reviews or anything like that. i shoulda clarified myself better. lol

58.

Friday, March 9, 2007 /

In the big scheme of things. $3 Million isn’t much in Hollywood. I love the fact that she is sticking to her beliefs. No matter how we may feel it is stupid it is good to see someone with morals. Maybe that is the reason God has been blessing her soo much. She sticks to his plan. Maybe if we all stuck to his plan and listened to him he would guide us to happiness, success and perhaps more financial gain.

I have done a few little things here and there in the entertainment world….and I turned down my first movie after being cast on the spot because I read the entire script and it involved a sex scene that was somewhat out of place and demeaning to women. I was not involved in the scene but the fact that it was in the movie and I knew folks from my hometown (Chicago) would watch it and I did not feel comfortable knowing that my little sister and other children from my neighborhood would watch it and associate me with the movie that had the inappropriate sex scene. Now don’t get me wrong sex is beautiful and so is nudity but only when it is done in a classy way. I don’t want to see black women all on their knees doing anything unless it is praying. Just my 1 cent.

Go JHud! Stick to your beliefs and as you know there is NO LIMIT to what God can do! I mean she is obviously making good choices and being guided by the Lord. She went from AMerican Idol to winning every acting award you can name in a very short time. God is good if you listen to him and be obdient he can make your dreams come true too!

Sorry for my soap box.

It makes perfect sense to me for Jennifer Hudson to turn down this role.

Obviously, she is a Christian Woman.
and
She would feel uncomfortable asking her mother & father to attend a movie premier to a film featuring Jennifer Hudson, and there was a nude scence in the movie.

That would be a dissapointment to fellow Christians, Her Pastor and members of her church

67.

Megan

Friday, March 9, 2007 /

I respect her for that even though she wasn’t the one getting naked.

But her roles are already going to be limited, so I don’t think she should be to picky over what she does. Unless she doesn’t really want to act or doesn’t care that much about it.

How is that supid? She just has different morals than you.

As long as Im not getting naked, I’ll take the 3mil, but Jennifer doesn’t even want to be associated with it. I respect her for that.

This is one of many recent indications that Ms. JHud is starting to feel herself a little too soon.

I heard that she was doing a show in Chicago (or somewhere like that) and got mad because she didn’t think the crowd was “participating” enough (but you could hear them screaming). She walked off the stage!

Lil Ms. JHud needs to slow her roll and stay humble. It’s a little too soon to be trying to gain “Diva” status boo boo…Oscar or not.

Megan, so you could act alone side of Heather Hunter and be cool with it? Let’s not forget, nudity is only one aspect of an R-rating! There could also be rape, child pron, kidnap, murder, elicit sex, torcher and abuse implied!

Take charge of yo space black women!
