What’s wrong with nudity???? She needs to use her brain and cut the self righteous act. She may have just lost a great opportunity!

Bill, I see where you’re coming from. But technically, Halle is dating within her community being half white and all. Also, Cuba playing a mentally-handicapped individual did make him look silly and lose some of his credibility. I can’t help but wonder if him being married to a white woman has anything to do with your dislike for him.

I think that her comments implys that she chooses to set a certain standard for herself. She has already accomplished with clothes what it took some to accomplish without them (MOVIES) and won an Oscar , Golden Globe , SAG, and NAACP! Im sure that she believes that many other roles of substance will co,e her way (esp after her debut in Dreamgirls)taht wont require her to get naked so why bother!

*APPLAUSE* for some of the best thought out posts in this thread.

I’m amazed how easily people can confuse a character with the actor that plays that character.

You’re thinking on a higher level than people like that.

Man.. yall know who, needs to quit with all that black power bullshit! That’s right.. I said bullshit.. Always on here running off at the mouth.. Well move your ass back to Africa.. Truth be told, a MAJORITY OF AFRICANS despise African Americans! If you were as pro black as you want everyone to believe.. you would not be here all the damn time! Go open up a mosque or sell some bean pies…

I know some of the people in here ain’t trying to talk about “morals” when they on the other post begging to see Chris Brown’s 17 year old d!ck. Stop acting like you are all saints.

And I know Anika Noni or any struggling talented struggling black actress would love to get that role but Jennifer thinks she’s the sh!t now apparently.

LOL..Halle is probably dating the other half of her because she probably got tired of gettin fucked up by the black half: wesley, david justice, eric benet….shyt, I feel her struggle!!

ain’t mad at her….she can get more role and willing to paid her more than 3 million.

Yeah some of ya’ll would disagree with her decision…if it were true. Seeing as how you’d prolly sell your first born into sex slavery for a 3million dollar check with your name on it. “For the love of money…” you know the rest!

Vultures! *SMH*

Don’t think for a second that J-Hud’s moves aren’t calculated either. She has a powerhouse team behind her (a little more stealth than the Knowles camp) and her career is being mapped out like a serious game of chess. That measly 3mil. is nothing compared to what they have in their back pocket…trust!

Thanks for clarifying, I guess #41.

Her career. Her choice. Whatever…

I respect her mind but I would have done that role in a New York minute.

@219 said it all.

I am not saying she should do anything against her beliefs/convictions,but it sounds pretty dumb to me to call yourself an actress,if you can`t be versatile and ready to take on new challenging roles.I loved Jennifer Hudson in Dreamgirls,but I was always afraid what is going to happen after this pivotal role.Yeah,she`s gotten an Oscar,and she derseved it every bit.You nail one role and make demands.Please!I think this is the reason she was voted off American Idol.She came across like having this diva-esque attitude about herself and although I voted for her,America didn`t.If she is here to have a career as an actress, she needs to change her attitude.If you wanna condone nudity and be a role model for black girls,maybe you should go to Africa and be a missionary for a year.It would have more influence on them,than refusing roles for dumb reasons like it was mentioned in the article.If someone takes their clothes off,how is that translating into diminishing one`s reputation as a role model?I`m puzzled by the logic.I love Meryl Streep,but I never thought whoever she`s playing on the big screen has to do with her as a real persona or her beliefs.Get over yourself Jennifer and extend your 15 minutes of fame!

KMNILES well said!

Nudity is not bad, we have just been made to believe that something about our naughty bits are deplorable.

However, Hollywood does distort nudity, specifically female nudity. It’s only the women in movies that are required to show their Grand Canyons. Since most movies are greenlighted by White men, then they ultimately decide whether or not a woman’s going to be seen without clothes.

I don’t believe J-Hud said that because she hasn’t said anything on the totally self righteous tip since becoming public. She’s playing the role of nice girl, but not over doing it with a bunch of high morals speak.

Unfortunately, there are not enough opportunities for African Americans to be well represented on screen. If you think about it, there have been a rash of movies, in which other people’s lives are portrayed lately (Ray, The Last King of Scotland, Ali, Dream Girls, Pursuit of Happyness, Last King of Scotland). We need to have a greater represenation showing the dispersion and ordinariness of Black life, as well as the buffoonary movies and “re-inactments”.

But there are paradoxes and contraditions in our lives. In other words, for 3 mi$$ion, I probably would have held the camera on my icebox myself!

Some of these people are so money hungry that they would say anything. It’s sad you would sell your soul to the Devil for money, good things come to those who wait.

Well, she WAS NOT the one getting “NUDE” but still did not take the offer.

WOW!!

I “RESPECT” her decision.

It boggles the mind to think that some people on here hold opinions as to what Jennifer should do with her life. We can’t even predict our own future more less anyone else’s. Come on. Jennifer is a grown woman who, I’m sure if this rumor is true, made a decision to not be in the movie based on her beliefs. Who are we to discredit her just because some of us are money hungry and would sell our mama for two bits.

From what I hear, the rumor is false, but even if it isn’t, we don’t know one thing about Jennifer’s future or her life. It kills me when I hear, “She won’t get past her 15 minutes of fame, blah, blah, blah” like somehow we have a crystal ball and can see into her future. Sometimes I get the feeling there are people who want her to fail. Sad.

According to some people’s belief, she should just take a role just because it’s offered. I totally understand Jennifer is new to the game, but she has God in her life and I’m sure she is allowing Him to lead her in whatever direction she should go in whether it’s in Hollywood or not. Just my thoughts.

Jennifer, tune out the naysayers and keep doing what ya do.

She a grown woman and will be faced with a number of choices and consequences - and in the entertainment business a lot of those choices may challenge her “moral” position and christian beliefs….

But, this story seems like a plant - because actors are sent scripts all of the time, and they turn down projects all of the time, but it doesn’t make the news, and usually there is no mention of the amount of $$$ that they would be paid.

Dig Deeper - - maybe this story is a plant to set the foundation so that when she isn’t offered more movie roles in hollywood, they can point back to this supposed “position” as the reason why -

just thinkaboutit

Too much is made out of nudity. It doesn’t always have to be something to look down on. It’s not like we’re talking about porn. But nudity and sexuality in general has been so frowned upon in society that we now have to be ashamed of the human body itself. Go fig.

KUDOS 2 jen

JENNIFER IS A TRUE CHRISTIAN AND YOU DON’T JEAPORDIZE THAT FOR NO AMOUNT OF MONEY. THAT IS SO MANY PEOPLES PROBLEM GIVING UP THEIR DIGNITY AND SELFWORTH FOR THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR. THE 3 MIL. SHE GAVE UP BEING DEDICATED TO JESUS, SHE’S GOING TO RECIEVE A WHOLE LOT MORE. SO WHO’S STUPID NOW.

Yea, but I know some of ya’ll so-called Christians would do it. And did Jennifer say she was a Christian?
You can still be a christian and play in a movie that has art, if it’s not porn. If you people can read she WON’T be nude. You are not selling your soul you are acting. Stupid People. Don’t be giving me that holier than thou attitude. All of ya’ll need to shut-up cause ya’ll probably literally sell your body for $3000.

IS THIS B CRAZY? ITS 3 MILLION DOLLARS

It’s nice that she has her convictions, but I think she should have taken the role if it was a good film that would have allowed for some artistic growth. If you approach acting as a craft and not a job, you need to consider the overall worth of the film too. She wasn’t the one getting naked…she can still be a role model to young girls even if she’s in a movie where another character appears nude. Anyway, it’s nice that she has her beliefs.

Look can i get the role?!

WTF…how can you tun down $3 mil cause someone else (not you) someone else for f*#k sake will be going naked…what do you care,take the money and act and just don’t look at the naked body. It’s not as if it’s a porno movie…geeezzzz

kinda don’t wanna see her naked anyways, but props to her for standing up for what she believes in.

shows how money is not everything to pther people. she would not compromise her standards even if it wasnt her personally, but she knows she would have been associated with that. thank God for women who has self respect.Hope God provides her more decent work. She is a role model.

Irony Alert: She’s in Sex and the City!

Yo, thats kinda wack. She doesn’t seem to mind showing off the funbags in her new vid. I mean whats the big deal. Don’t fear the titty. Theys beautiful! Hopefully she accidentally make a sex tape with Gay J and he’ll leak it out. J Hud got the goods. Word to ya Mammaries!
