Omg, who is posting as ToniChilds?
I luv Toni Childs, from off of Girlfriends.
Thats-my-girl.

Why is it that everytime I go to the restroom at work, there is some admin assistant trying to push an Avon catalogue into my hand telling me she is an “Avon lady” and giving me directions to where I can find her desk?

Clive Davis loves himself some black singers. For kelly Clarkson, no love there.

WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS POST HAVE TO DO WITH BEYONCE?

I agree #79! I’m soooo sick of people bringing up Beyonce on everything that has to do with a black female singer! If you think she’s the best COOL but can we stick to the topic at hand on THIS blog! I hope she’s around longer enough to keep her overly supportive stans alive and breathing!

jennifer is cool. i’m not hatin BUT she’s an oscar winner. why she doing ads for avon?! she should being doing estee lauder, calvin klein, almay or carol’s daughter even. not no broke ass avon. who is managing this sista’s career ? they are doing a piss poor job. she needs a new manager, stylist and agent.

Hey Skin So Soft keeps the mosquitos away!– Just thought I’d add that.

And another thing, I thought Oscar Winners do adds for Channel or Dior, not no damn Avon!!
Hell, an Avon catalogue is the size of a Jet mag. I’m sorry but she could do better!

Get ‘em girl can’t wait til you shoot the video for “I’m Leaving” that’s my joint right there!!!!!

YOU ARE AWARE THIS IS NEYO’S SONG ON HIS ALBUM RIGHT? BY THE WAY I LOVE IT, HEARD IT FIRST ON “THE STEVE HARVEY RADIO SHOW!” JENNIFER CAN SING, TRUE, I STILL DON’T BELIEVE SHE DESERVED THE OSCAR THOUGH. ANGELA BASSETT NOW THAT’S ANOTHER STORY, BRILLANT ACTRESS.

Avon has an old people stereotype. Check it out. They really have some great new products http://www.youravon.com/callen8559

I WILL DEFINTELY HAVE TO PICK UP SOME OF THAT! J HUD IS DOING SO GOOD. I CAN’T STOP WONDERING IF HER AND HER FIANCE’ ARE “EXPECTING.” GOOD FOR THEM IF THEY ARE.

Damn. All she get is endorsements from Avon?!

GOD PLEASE LET WHAT HAPPENED TO HER HAPPEN TO ME!JENNIFER IS SO BLESSED.SHE A OVERNIGHT CELEBRITY.HOW YOU GO FROM A FAILED IDOL AUDITION TO STARRING ALONG SIDE JAMIE AND BEYONCE IN A BIG ASS BROADWAY HIT?! RED CARPET PIMPIN’ AND S***.I’M SORRY , BUT I GOT NEXT!I AIN’T EVEN MAD.

Yeah i agree with # 48, as far as the acting goes, kudos to her, she’s deserves all the awards she’s won, but as far as music goes? She’s winning awards & she doesn’t even have an album yet, wtf? She does look good in those ads.

hm I dont know. I’m not really feeling her that much. She looks like she just woke up and is like “oh my god wow hi!” The first one makes her look like a man waking up from some explosive night of man on man touch and go. Overall she is really pretty in the purple. I used to buy/sell avon so shes good w/that

I guess I’m in the minority, cuz I don’t like these pics. The first one looks too much like Amy Winehouse, and she can look pretty “harsh” at times. The second one isn’t bad, but I think its far from good. But I wish her luck.

I like J Hudd. I wish she were endorsed by a bigger name company. Avon rings cheap to me. I always think about that stinking ass Skin So Soft or that cheap ass bubble bath that my grandmother used to buy from them.

I love you JHUD. You are so warm and beautiful. I wish you much love in your career. Cant wait to hear your album. I love the song you did with Neyo. Keep doing your thing girl and being proud of who you are.

Don’t knock AVON! They have some cute stuff.

Here’s more info on J HUD and AVON
http://shop.avon.com/shop...ariseduction_samples.html

avon is stereotyped as old people products but they have quite a variety check them out!!!! //www.youravon.com/callen8559

J.Hud do look nice in that Avon Ad I got some 2day

w0w sHe iiSZ l0okiiN sTuNNiiNgg liiKe aLwaYsZ u g0o JeNNiFeR!!!!

That is true #8 about Skin So Soft smelling like Raid. I almost had an asthma attack off that stuff!

Whether some of ya’ll like it or not. J-Hud is an Oscar winning actress. She’s a great actress and I think she should be in more movies because Jesus might come back before she’ll have her album out.

Anyway she looks pretty on those ads but I agree when ya’ll said they could of gave her a better endorsement. I use to buy Avon but that’s when it was hot. In the 90s. There products wasn’t any different than the products you’ll see at the drugstore.

She could of been a Chanel, Dior, Armani, etc. model. Why Avon? Avons okay but alot of people don’t but that anymore. Most Oscar winners or other actresses get high-end product endorsements like the ones I named above. The only actresses I know that models for Avon is Selma Hayakk, but she invested in it.

#24 GIGGLE NEEDS TO SHUT THE HELL UP!! JENNIFER IS NOT FAT. SIZE 14 AND UP ARE WHAT’S IN STYLE. GET A CLUE HO!

honestly does anybody( the younger generation) really use these avon products. i only see old folks that use their products. plus jhud is overrated, her claim to fame is only based on 1 song off a soundtrack. she needs to prove herself as a music artist. plus just becuz she won an oscar, doesn’t necessary mean she’s gonna be huge in the music industry.hell, three 6 mafia won oscars too.

I love the purple but there’s something weird abt her face/eyes in those 2 first pics. Maybe it’s the lighting…

She’s starting to get annoying

great photos not a fan of any Avon products!

I like her and all, but she should really wait for these kind of things AFTER she releases an album, you know?

And she does look like she gained a bit. She doesn’t have to, but it’d be nice if she could lose it.

@#59 Im glad that I took the time to read your entire statement as opposed to bits and pieces ,because I have a better understanding of what you are trying to say.I too am happy for Jennifer Hudsons success ,but like you I feel that there are other black women in the industry equally if not more deserving .There are so many great black actresses who have been over looked by the Academy among other award show/ aside from(for us by us) shows such as BET,Essence Awards,Soultrain etc prior to Jennifer Hudson winning the Oscar! I would like to see actresses like Ruby Dee, Cicely Tyson,among other legendary beautiful black divas in the industry receive their just due. Many of these actresses have been working their azzes off , and gotten few breaks along the way .They have perfected their acting,singing skills and paid dues (along the way) , been featured in many movies ,tv shows. Jennifer Hudson is a beautiful and talented woman, and DREAM GIRLS was a break out movie for her, but it is still her first and only movie.I think that they are placing her on a pedestal too high too soon, and I hope that she is able to stay afloat when all is said and done. We all know how non black hollywood likes to pick their token “highly favored” black people and place them high.Afterall the higher the placement ,the harder the fall. They need to allow her time to grow as an artist.Its never a good idea to give anyone too much too soon.They have to earn that,and Im sorry but 1 movie isnt enough to measure her acting ability. I feel that after she received the Golden Globe/Oscar ,all of these other award shows felt the pressure to jump aboard the JHUD bandwagon Just because she is the new IT Gal in Hollywood,and her accomplishment(due mainly to the Oscar win) reads like a rags to riches tale by hollywood standards. I cant understand why BET would present someone (anyone) with a new artist award who doesnt even have a album out currently. Make no mistake about the fact that I wish Jennifer Hudson much success.The woman can sang ,and Im not disputing that.Its also great to see a woman with some size to her, and not just a stick figure get some shine, but there is too much hype going on.

I also saw the rerun episode of Oprah show which featured lead actors in theDream Girls Movie , when she gave her audience a screening of the movie prior to it hitting theaters, and I had to LOL OPRAH describing the Jennifers acting in the movie as a “religious experience” She made it sound like some supernatural out of body phenomonem. I wanted to saY Oprah we get that its a great movie and that her performance was great esp considerign she had never acted professionally prior to DREAM GIRKS., but Uhm dont get carried away. Like other black women in the industry who came before her , Jennifer received got her first singing experience in the Church, so she has that soulfoul strong voice.

P.S. She does look very nice in the Avon campaign pics!

NENE its William Hung not Michael Wong sheeeshhh - you actually wrote that twice!! Go JHud, do your thing you sexy beast you! I luvs it.

That is what this industry has become absolutley krazy….giving awards to people who have not even made a debut album……all this hype about a mediocre performance and its as if she is the only sister picture who has accomplished anything in Holywoods picture they can find to post..they either put pictures up negatively of people they don’t like, then the ones they love is overkill.
I agree with the others you have an Oscar and you are in such a hurry to work you can’t wait for better endorsements and better movie offers and Clive Davis is a ganster and a music pimp.
I take my hat off to all the sisters out there in Hollywood who have worked their butts off and say kudos to each of you, and Angela Bassett you have my vote for best actress, because Dreamgirls was not all that……and let me add by the way Lady O learned later and I can’t say what or why she found out some things, that is why she no longer endorsed JHud, or endorses her today and that’s word.
She saw the hype, and she doesn’t like being used nobody does, can anyone feel me?????
But I am tired of all the hype, all of a sudden she is the second coming and I don’t want to Avon, we have come up, I can do better and I am 50 years old and i don’t wear Avon, I don’t care who doesn’t like it and I really resent Avon thinking that as a black consumer you can Jennifer Hudson in a book to endorse something and because of who she is I am going to buy it (who is she), she probably didn’t wear it or buy it herself and is only doing so now because you gave it to her free, and if she is going to invest and come out with an Avon fragrance I am not buying that, I may not have an Oscar JHud but I have come up and I like the best, I really feel like you have sold us short and underestimating us as African American consumers, because I read you were to boost their sales. Some kind of new campaign geared toward the black community.
By the way you in a Tyler Perry movie with an Oscar and performing at the gay rights and the ghetto black pride show…..please somethings up with you, you seem mighty desperate.
By the way I love you, but I don’t endorse what you are doing, like I said there must be a dead cat on the line and because of you speading yourself out there so thin i don’t even want to buy or hear your music and I am most certainly not broke!!!!!

By the way, when is the last time some of you have been to church and heard a good praise team….because LOL, I know some sisters that can sing rings around JHud, I even know a young ladys mama that will sit her and Clive Davis smooth down, and shut them both up and I am not lying…she can sing so what I go to church and the sisters can burn,they just have never been exposed and many don’t want the drama…

To the ones that bitching,

I’m so damn tired of y’all complaining. its not Jennifer’s fault that she is blessed and got all what she received. And about that there’s more black actresses out there that’s more deserving I’m sure that they are , but Jennifer is deserving as well she has worked hard and paid her dues and still paying them as we speak. if you don’t like that she won an Oscar and not the other black deserving actresses why don’t you take that up with the Academy and stop bashing Jennifer because of it. if you like Jennifer like some of you claim, stop doubting her success, cuz all i read is i like Jennifer, BUT no if you really like her it would be i like Jennifer AND not BUT. Jennifer has completed one movie and will start filming another and shes also working on her album with that said she’s working hard for her success and no one isn’t just giving it to her and the only ppl that put her on a pedestal is YALL before she won y’all was so in love with her and wanted her to win and when she did that’s when y’all turned on her saying the same ole shit about other actresses should have won and not Jennifer. fickle i tell ya. just be happy that a black plus-sized woman doing big things in Hollywood. with all that said GO JENNIFER!!!

The perfumes scent is hot. I got a whiff in the latest Essence. Im gonna cop me a bottle.

I for 1 am not doubting her success,but paying dues in hollywood is not getting lucky ,landing a role in 1 movie and winning an Oscar based on 1 movie. She is good, and over time may get even better,but there are others who been doign what she has been doing and better at that, who have yet to receive an Academy! I find it sad that so few of our people are even considered for the honor , considering that we have been acting in hollywood for decades back. Am I the only one who sees something wrong with fact that prior to Jennifer Hudson , only 2 other african american actresses have received an Oscar? Halle Berry (for Monsters Ball).and Hattie Mcdaniels (Gone with the WIND) I’m not upset that JHud is receiving some shine from Dream Girls .Yes she did a wonderful job in the movie,but she has to learn the business, sharpen her skills even more over time as an actress. You cant place anyone on a high pedestal when they have only Just begun.

Black ppl are never satisfied, here we are on our little computers critisizing artists like everything they do is SUPER easy,to say is always easier to do. For anyone who says that she didn’t do that much of good job acting and singing in Dreamgirls, PLZ go and try to perform the songs she did better than her and than talk!! Not that i’m saying no one can sing better than her, but DAMN she’s a great singer!

And why do you guys say she shouldn’t be endorsed by Avon just bcuz she has an Oscar? Salma Hayek promoted 3 perfumes for Avon and other celebreties as well. It’s like saying that Hally Berry shouldn’t do ads for Revlon or Beyonce for L’Oreal or Whoopi Golberg for Jenny Craig. Artists doing endorsements is nothing new.

I see a lot complaining that she’s been getting too much hype and she’s reciving awards and credit she doesn’t deserve cuz she’s not that much of a star, but when she does an ad for a so-called “small” company ( cuz Avon has been around for more than a decade now, so it ain’t that small) you guys say she should go with big named companies. Make up ur minds!! Do u guys want her to be a BIG STAR OR NOT!!

@ 114

CO-FUCKIN SIGN

AND inspite of my feeling of the OVER HYPE surrounding Jennifer Hudson”I still stand by that” I did say that she looks lovely in the Avon campaign! Those of you asking why she didnt secure endorsement deals with other companies such as Chanel, DIOR,etc listen up. There is nothing wrong with Avon. I dont use it as much as I did years ago but scents like “imari “are still the bomb, and yes there are many people both black and non black using Avon! Afterall they are still in business and doing well after many years in the cosmetic industry. Just because many of you are MAC Mamas or Chanel CHICKs, and DIOR Divas does not mean that Avon is irrelevant! Perhpas those other cosmetic giants did NOT offer her an edorsement deal .In the entertainment industry you have to GET IT ( the perks of success such as endorsement,etc) while Your hot ,and still riding high on that current wave of success,because pretty soon another OSCAR /GOLDENGLOBE, etc year will be upon us and no one will care about what ya did last year! In hollywood your as hot as ya latest project!
Another poster made a comment about Avon using her to get the rest of us black women to support Avon by having Jenniffer Hudson endorse a product ,that you dont think she uses or even cares for herself. To that I say this
That same thing could be said about any of these big name companies. They all seek out HOT and current celebrities to endorse their products.They know and dont care if these celebrities buy or like their product.They will still pay them big money to pretend to like it, and give it to them free to wear . That in return equals “publicity /exposure :, and $$$ for their product. Theyknow that alot of fans are very influenced by what celebrities wear and use or what we think they like, and are more likely to purchase the same thinghs if we see out favorite celeb rocking it, so one hand feeds the other. Avon isnt doing teh same thing that any other company that wants ro remain popular and attract the interest on new potentail customers would do.

CSUGirl, I totally agree with you. Now many comments on this page are just people who are narrow minded such as those stating that oh, she’s too fat, or that somehow AVON a multi-billion dollar empire is somehow irrelevant. CSUGirl, your comment was based on facts. Anyway, I’m glad that she has the endorsement. I believe that she is working on the biography of Aretha Franklin and that’s why you haven’t seen as much of her. Hey, I use AVON and I am a dark black woman. If any of you ever decide to use makeup and you cannot find the correct match due to skin tone or undertones, AVON is your best bet. Believe that.

Clive about to make a mint off J. Hud…

jennifer realy lok good in and i wish her so much love in joy

BIG ups for Jennifer Hudson. As an AVON Rep, I am excited that she is on board. I have samples of the fragrance and it smells awesome. Check out my website if you’re interested in the NEW Imari Seduction fragrance. Click contact me if your interested in a sample: http://www.youravon.com/jerinewilliams

I agree with the other on BET giving her award when she didn’t earn it that was
wrong as two left shoes, I watch every show AI when J-hud was on there and
she wasn’t that good and she had this attitude on there too, I will support my
people but they are wrong for giving her something she didin’t deserved and
it turn me away from BET. It others who has work hard and should have gotten
awards and was cheated out of it, beside I saw a little 3yr singing and acting
lifke Effie and she could have won the Oscar, whoever would have play that
part would have won the award. Jennifer has it but I think the overrated should
stop. I want to see what she can do now. But if it anything like Effie I don’t want
to hear it. Clive need to turn some of that attention to some of his other people
one minute out on arms of the one who hot at the moment. I hope that she
can handle all this overration and after it over with. But I hope she has much
success in what he do and remember who was there for her. When she first
start taking the mike not one time did she thank Randy Jackson because if it wasn’t
for him she wouldn’t be where she is now Randy pick her as a wild card for
AI. So I can say show me what you got. I don’t Imari my mother and aunt wore that
back in the day.

Wait until thy leak Fantasia singing I am telling you out and I understand
it is great.

PRETTY! ^_^

@121,

STFU, stop your damn nagging. BET gave the award to Jennifer cause they felt that she was deserving. if that’s what it takes to turn you away from BET and not all of this snap music and a lot of non singers, non rappers that wont even be around in 2 to 5 years from now and all these reality shows and hardly no educational and news then the problem is YOU and not BET giving Jennifer an award. that stupid comment you made about a 3 year could have won an Oscar, nigga please, Jennifer won cause she deserved it and it was meant to be and it was meant for Jennifer to win and not nobody else. if anything y’all haterd is adding to her so called being overrated cause you didn’t have to respond to this post and bringing all your negativity. also if you was keeping up with Jennifer like you said you was when she was on Idol and supposedly had this attitude and not enough talent, you would have known that she did thank Randy Jackson for picking her for the wild card. if it wasn’t for her determination and her hunger she wouldn’t be where shes at not Randy not Idol and not even Dreamgirls they just gave her the opportunity and she made the most of it and that’s what counts. what you need to do is figure out are you for our ppl like you said or you’re just another crab in the bucket. on another note, you go Jenn and shake these fickle ppl off and continue to be true to yourself and you will continue to be successful.

@ 122,

who cares, its not like fantasia going to get any credit. its just going to start up another pointless comparison game.

125 I agree this mess is getting on my nerves all this comparison, people like and endorse who they like. I wasn’t buying or wearing Avon before JHud so why should I now, if I don’t like a company of their products then I don’t like it. It has nothing to do with me liking or no liking her I don’t do Avon, we have come up! (I have anyway). the pics are okay, nothing to boast about,airbrushing does wonders?????
You are right about Fantasia, they hate he with a passion on this blog Angel can’t stand her, she probably would zap her with a Harry Potter sword and kill her if she could, can’t do that so use your blog to discredit her.
Jhud is doing Avon, whoop-de-do, this site must be her personal public relation site, is there anyone else making an accomplishments in the industry or is everyone else dead? Go figure

I25 guess what they have pictures of who rocked this dress (the green JHud has on) on another post but Angel didn’t show it, I guess because it was Nicolette Sheridan who is white and she has it on in white and she is rocking it. Like someone else said they like who they like and people bite the bait and just eat people to shreds.

I am a advanced unit leader with AVON and love that Jennifer Hudson is one of our spokes people. AVON is all that and a cutting edge company. AVon has had people such as Derek Jeter, Celine Dion, and Jennifer Hudson begging to have AVON carry a fragrance that is all theirs. The celebrities work with the perfumers to develop these fragrances. AVON even has Jillian Dempsey as their color coordinator now and she is the top cosmetic artist in hollywood and DR Mcdreamys wife from Grays anatomy. AVON has been around for over 125 years and is still very popular. The problym is that not everyone can find a AVON representative to buy from. I make a excellent career from AVON and I love it. It only cost me $10 to start, how amazing and i do not have to work a 9 to 5 job. Go Jennifer! I am proud to have you on our team and your fragrance Rocks! The fragrance will start to air the first week of August on TV with many interviews being done with Jenifer Hudson. You can get the fragrance from a representative that has advanced order and it will be in the brochure in Campaign 18. Ask your representative for a sample of this hot new fragrance. http://www.youravon.com/rmorell

She looks absolutely amazing in that pic with Clive Davis. The aquamarine color of the dress goes well with her skin tone.

First of all, I don’t wear Avon fragrances. To be fair to Jennifer I tested the sample in Essence yesterday, walked around and I washed it off hated it. Just doesn’t suit my metabolism. So I won’t be buying it, and I would like to say when you come to us please come correct, because many of us heard about this endorsement long ago, and it said nothing about her formulating this cologne it said she would be the spokesperson and that Avon was starting a new campaign directed towards the African American community because we have many of our own people doing their thing at high end stores and therefore you need the hype to sell your fragrances, because we have come up and it is not like it use to be with black folk and Avon and most young women Jennifers age (25 ) though she looks older don’t wear Avon fragrances? In other words it takes a long time for any vendor to formulate a fragrance and many times I know in the high end line it can be formulated for years before it is presented to the market. Thank you I was a rep for many years at Neimans Fragrance bar and was a Estee Lauder Acct rep.
I now have my own salon selling Carols Daughters Products.
Thanks but no thanks Avon, we are coming up and have come up…I still think my home girl could do better than Avon.

There’s nothing about her that keeps me interested. shes kinda boring ):

I hope this venture is a success for Jennifer. In response to the one who said come correct because I too am in the retail industry high end fragrance and cosmetics and it is knowledge to those of us in the business that Avons fragrances have not been doing well, for a long time African Americans bought it even for their men, but now that we have Puffy, JLo, Baby fat etc, we have been buying more of the high end and I too like Caroles Daughters we have come up, so it is a marketing ploy to make money in the area of their fragrances which have not done as well, and you guys please know whenever any vendor does an add campaign it is to gain momentum. Jennifer has to do what she has to do, she is getting paid and it seems that all most folk care about.(By the way is anyone aware of the names of th epeople who turned this endorsement down, she was not the first choice), this add campaign has been talked abou for a while.)
To the one who asked if anyone wanted her to be a STAR what does not liking the fraggrance or the comapnay she is endorsing not wanting her to succeed, she chose to take the job it does not say anywhere that everyone would want it because she is endorsing it. I am like the other lady I don’t do Avon, I get the best with my job mostly for free anyway, and I am able to bless others as well with good stuff , and their is a difference don’t let anyone decieve you.
About the green dress I too saw the picture of the other person, who is white and I hate to say it but she did rock it, this dress looks obtrocious on Jennifer not made for her body type.
She can sing, she has won an Oscar plus various other awards good for her, now can we please move on, and please Avon reps we have the right to choose, we are intelligent consumers, you have to endorse her she works for you and you are using this blog to make sells, that’s what you do, so please no comment.
Wishing Jennifer much success, no one is hating but we are adults and entitled to make our choices based on the information before us. Pictures say a thousand words.
Please forgive me for keeping it real.
By the way all of you are STARS in Gods eyes….you are just as important and valuable as Jennifer Hudson. I know I am.

That girl has the best voice I have ever heard. Not only is she is she talented but her talent is unique. Unlike ANYONE I have seen in a while.
