Jennifer Hudson leaving the Newseum in Washington D.C. on Friday, after a guest appearance on “Good Morning America” where she sang a few songs from her new self-titled album.
Hudson and reality star David Otunga, aka “Punk” from “I Love New York 2,” recently announced their engagement which took place on Hudson’s 27th birthday (peep the ring).

first! She looks good. Where is punk?
cuute
I don’t understand why she would want PUNK?!!? It still gets to me a little that she would want somebody who wanted NEW YORK? ….And what happened to the guy that was with her when she was a nobody??!!?? Maybe I don’t understand the whole story but that’s a little messed up.
But she looks pretty and happy. Pray that all goes well
I really hope Punk’s purposal was genuine. I would hate to see J.Hud falling for a fake Al Reynolds wanna-be.
UGH I hate the shoes but her dress is FAB she looks great
congratulations jenn and punk!
She loves those shoes. Must be nice and comfy!!
congrats Jenny ya look great. Can’t wait for tha album to drop.
Punk … are you f”n serious … why would a grown ass woman want to be with a man nicknamed punk … and why would an establised, talented woman what a reality star wannabe new york sloppy seconds … sum’n ain’t right
Well if this girl wants to marry a man named punk who wanted New York..who cares why should we judge her so harshly.from “peanut” to various other crazy nicknames we’ve all dated someone who was with someone they regretted…let her do her!

to the bro-ham who j hud left in the dust when she made it big; i listen to ol brook benton song “its just a matter of time”. and we wish her well, but this ain’t working in my crystal ball. its cloudy as hell. but you can’t tell folks nothing when they are riding on that falling star. cause what goes up [you know the rest] brother let your spotlight shine.
If she’s happy that’s what matters. Whatever the man’s name is he’s Harvard educated and employable. So that must count for something as well.
I just don’t get it. But I guess it’s none of my business anyway. Jen do your thang…even if he has kissed nasty a** NY. Hope you washed his mouth out with Lysol first! LOL.
We see that SPANX JHud! She needs to work on her wardrobe and identify the fits that work for and against her figure!
I’m just mad that I can see her sphanx – are they working? Lmao.
Its a SHAME soon as STARDOM stuck her, she left her MAN she was ENGAGED to 2 be w/ a METROSEXUAL who may even be DOWNLOW!
Does she has any sense?
She also needs to loose like 30 POUNDS not a good look!
im glad she has her puppies covered…better look…she’s getting there.
honestly…wtf is she thinking? like veryone else is saying why would she want someone who wanted new york?! but then again he’s a sweet guy so maybe he really was on there to find true luv..whatever..
Ugly ass ring!
Damn her stylist must really hate her. WHY WHY?? Such a pretty girl “With makeup” and great talent.
MY GOD HAVE I MISSED YALL!!!!
OKAY J HUD IS LOOKIN SMOKING HOT, LOVE THE HAIR, GET IT CHICK!
Who knoww the real story as to why her and her local boo are not together…..At the end of the day just like Tiffany “New York” didn’t want Flav’s facially challenged ass, Punk or whatever his name is, didn’t want her either. It’s all in the name of getting into the acting business. Brother is educate and obvilously ambitious so, lets let Jen and Punk do their thing! God bless them.
I DON’T KNOW, BUT SHE NEVER LOOKS RIGHT IN ANYTHING SHE WEARS. SHE NEEDS TO GET WITH QUEEN LATIFAH’S STYLIST ASAP!
jdhud looks soooooooooooooooooooo fab! shes so much more talented than Beyonce
http://www.Shop-Luscious.com 
She looks nice and yeah i do agree i hope the engagement is true, she seems like a nice girl wouldn’t want to see that “Punk” take advantage of her
man everybody is in D.C. this weekend the whole bad boy camp is celebrating Q and Robert birthday at Love…….. can’t wait!!
Really? He’s Harvard educated? Is so, then why on God’s green earth would he do that horrid reality show. And of all people, compete for Tiffany “New York”. Publicity or not, I can’t see any man of that calibur going for that moose face.
I can’t tell what kind of ring she’s wearing but it could be something symbolic. I do wish them the best.
JHud is young. I’d hate to see where’d I’d be right now if I had married the man I was dating in my early 20′s. People break up all the time and the travel and time committments make it harder to sustain any relationship.
Though we may know him as “Punk” I doubt that’s what she calls him in her private time. I’m more concerned about his potential “down-lowishness” and her total lack of style on so many occasions. Those shoes are uncalled for, especially when she was doing so well. You’re a mianstream movie star now Jen. STOP BUYING OFF THE RACK!!
congrats jenn..hope it lasts…
Jen got those spanxx on! It’s a must in order to control everything!
YUCK SHE LOOKS HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
J Hud sportin that Tory Burch!
Yeah i was hurt when i found out she was engaged to Punk. I thought she was still with her man from however long ago.
Punk seemed like a nice guy – but people lose all sorts of credibility when they go on reality tv dating shows. No one is ever really looking for love – but instead for their 2.5 minutes of fame.
I just hope that he genuinely cares about her.
get it Jen, I’m feelin’ that song u got with Fantasia.
Jennifer is gorgeous. The ring is beautiful. I wish her and beau much happiness. September 30 JENNIFER HUDSON IN STORES. September 30 is when haters get more mad and more pathetic than they already are.
Mo’ Power ² her & him, & whoeva’!
Jeeze.!.!.!.!
smh DAMNIT IF SHE DONT GET SOME SPANX OR SOMETHIN FOR THE STOMACH!!! my goodness if u dont wanna stay commited w/ losing the weight aleast wear your clothes right, she annoys me with that
and PUNK??? i still dont believe this one its so random
Jen needs to hit the gym FORREAL she is young and this is the time to do it, i hear when you are older it is harder to tone and lose weight. Hit the GYM CHICA, PRONTO!
Lovin Spotlight!
I mean, I know it ain’t none of my business but this shyt seems a lil fishy to me .
At one point didn’t she get back with her childhood sweetheart, well everything don’t work out I guess. Congrads. Peace with each other together in life.
Am glad she ain’t like Beyonce trying to hide it and shyt, like who the Fuck does dat.
they have to be the most random couple in the world
and im wondering where he got the money for that fat ring, i know he was a lawyer b4 “i love new york” but with all the money he spent on hair products, how could he afford that??
and didnt she see that man all down new yorks throat on i love new york…i mean i kno everybody got a past but it would just be to weird for me to see re runs of him and his ex on tv
#16 and #17
you see her spanx, okay…you see tons of undergarments…you just can’t identify them…often black celebrities are wearing those little bands on their legs that lift their buttocks…you can often make those out..one isn’t positioned in direct proportion to the other and the butt looks lopsided…ever notice that? or what about celebrities and they’re peeking breast enhancements or tape? or what about fat asses who’s waists are like 10 inches – obviously getting shots to dissolve fat on their tummy. So why is a chubby woman with a spanx line so reprehensible?
As for Jennifer and “Punk”…don’t get it but I didn’t see the show so I don’t even get his nickname. He is an attorney, right? But don’t feel too shocked, she messed around with Kerry Rhodes last year…so…this is about right.
ohhh typos : that would be “their” and “whose”…I’m not an idiot, I promise. lol
1. No denying she is talented
2. Needs to loose like 10lbs
3. Spanx…all good. But if you wear Spanx and we can still see your stomach. there is a problem. lose a bit of weight.
4. Punk?? Sounds like a set up to me. The single is nice you dont need Punk to boost you. So D list!
5. I hope you don’t get your face cracked Jenn. I’m going to say a prayer for you!

J Hudson is not skinny, so quit trying to pull off the look..wear garments that flatter your figure…isn’t it typical, that when the “big girl” gets suddenly swept off her feet in hollywood or in real life, we automatically assume she’s going to get played. Sadly, most of the time that turns out to be true. But with a dude that once wanted NY…Good Luck! Yuk! And as for the Spanx..ya’ll are funny lol Didn’t notice them, but I do see toooo much stomach in that pic and those UUUGGGLY flats!!
Stay engaged 4EVER like Oprah. It’ll last longer. Once he gets that marriage paper and rights to money it will be all over girl. Make him work his butt off in the bedroom for 20 years before you marry him and I’m not joking LOL

Sorry but that guy J Hud is engaged to looks like he maybe on the DL. She should have stuck with her previous beau. I believe these DL men love to sweet talk women like JHud, Starr, and Terry McMillian because it helps them to try to hide their DLness and because they want to be a diva and live vicariously through their diva wives/girlfriends. Seeking powerful/wealthy/high status women the same as women seek after men. Sorry, my opinion and I’m sticking to it!
Hot stuff , ur so on KEY , Jen needs to get ur email or number for advice, AND HELP ,,,, she needs help , she looks like me on a bad bad day , why , why , ,,,, PPL please if you MEET JEN , tell HER to LOG ON TO THIS WEBSITE , AND CHECK OUT WHAT HER FANS , ARE SAYING …. IT MIGHT HURT, ,,,BUT FOR BLACK WOMAN IN HOLLYWOOD , THEY HAVE TO BE ON 24 HOUR’S A DAY , like my girl RHI,RHI
Is that a girdle line peeping from under her dress…? Pretty look other than that part.
I love her now, but her arms are fat. 10 years from now, dude will regret wifing this.
Totally agree with #50! WTF does she see in him. Is is most definitely GAY! I’m not gay bashing. The whole DL thing is sick!
The nickname “Punk” was given to him by New York when he was on the show, “I Love New York”….that is not his real nickname. He may not not even have a nickname.
CL did not show my comments I’ll say it again.
#50 I have doubts you are a fan, but it’s whatever.
1. Do you all honestly think “I LOVE NEW YORK” show was realistic. I don’t. From Flavor Flav to I Love New York to Charm School, I think all was frabricated for ratings on VH1. So therefore “Punk” and others given names by Tiffany Pollard were probably random actors hired off the street to make the show seem real. I’ve heard “Punk’s” real name is David and he is a lawyer. How do you know if Jennifer did not already do her research on this brother?
2. “Rhianna found a brother with money and fame”. So you are saying Jennifer needs to get with a brother with money like Lisa Raye and not for love?
3. “Jennifer needs to lose weight”. Jennifer is not obese. She won an oscar by being herself. So the image of women that look like Halle Barry is now at an end. There are plenty of women that are considered beautiful by Hollywood’s standard with fashion mishap. We’ve seen breast popping out of dresses, fake bottom pads being visible, panty lines, see thru shirts caught by the camera lights flashing, and tapes shown on breast. So I hardly think Jennifer will be the last person with a fashion mishap because of spanx/girdle. Looking up at the pic all I see wrong is her the shoes, I’m not feeling it. lol Her stylist do need to step it up.
4. Jennifer is engaged not married. Plenty of folks I’ve seen are engaged for years before they jump over the broom. Jennifer has family. I hardly think they would let her step out on her own with out giving her good advice. I’m pretty sure they are watching this guy like a hawk.
@ 56 ur the perfect example , of a unrealistic fool , the world , AND Hollywoods is not going to except a SLOPPY plus size BLACK WOMAN,,with open arms , thats just the FACTS , I DON’T CARE WHAT AWARD SHE’S WON , WAKE UP
And her family does’nt mean a DAM THING , I CAN GIVE YOU A LIST OF Black and White MOVIE STARS , that has brought their CAREER’S to a stop due to foolish ASSOCIATIONS and relationships, and thier family was watching like a HAWK , as it want down, if your family is as BACK WORDS AS YOU ,,,HOW CAN THEY HELP . ALSO FOOL ,,, 49# IS NOT SAYING TO MARRY FOR MONEY , BUT SHE IS SAYING WHY CAN’T BLACK WOMAN HAVE IT ALL IN A MEN . LIKE WHITE WOMAN ,AND OTHER RACES ,,THAT MARRY OUR BLACK ATHLETES , AND SUPER WELL OFF BUSINESS MEN, MUST WE ALWAYS HAVE A STRUGGLING MEN , THAT NEED’S ARE HELP ????
50% to 65% of black men , LOOK FOR ANOTHER RACE AFTER BECOMING FAMOUS , AND IF THEY HAPPENED TO CHOSES A ALL BLACK WOMEN THEY MUST BE HIGHLY PUT TOGETER, WITH LOOKS , EDUCATION AND FINANCIALLY, ABOVE AVERAGE,,NOW THATS THE TRUTH ,
@ HOT STUFF – UR A PERSON THAT KNOWS WHAT YOU WANT , AND THAT’S GOOD.
@34 UR THE KIND OF PERSON THAT , ENCOURAGES BULLSHIT , AND I CAN SEE THAT ‘S WHAT YOU KNOW .
She brought that ring her self . She needs a belly slimmer ASAP and those shoes are leaning !!!!
#59 MUST WE ALWAYS HAVE A STRUGGLING MEN , THAT NEED’S ARE HELP ????
No we don’t always have to settle for a man who need “our” help, but are you implying that David needs Jennifer’s help simply because he chooses to ask her hand in marriage? NO. So who are you to judge a man’s character based off a unrealistic tv show? And you say HOLLYWOOD will not “accept” a sloppy plus size woman then why the hell she has another movie coming out with Alicia and Queen? Why is she promoting an album ready to come out in September? If that is not accepting of a beautiful pluz size woman in HOLLYWOOD than this “Curious FOOL” don’t know what the hell is? Cause I see Queen Latifah getting nomimated for an oscar and still making great strides from being a rapper to well accomplished actress. And during all those times has had some of your so-called sloppy fashion mishaps. Must be stroke of luck that she is still here getting calls from HOLLYWOOD? Silly me… And judging from all the damn caps you seem angry that Jennifer chooses to love someone less famous than her. Wow talk about issues.
I CAN GIVE YOU A LIST OF Black and White MOVIE STARS , that has brought their CAREER’S to a stop due to foolish ASSOCIATIONS and relationships, and thier family was watching like a HAWK , as it want down, if your family is as BACK WORDS AS YOU ,,,HOW CAN THEY HELP
Would that list include Britney and Whitney? They chose to do drugs right? If say for example Jennifer marries the wrong man and it does not work out. The next step would be divorce, right? So her career is going down the drain cause of a divorce or because she’s on drugs? Looking from Britney and Whitney’s situation it was not so much about the man, but about how they carried their persona in the public eye. They were on drugs thru out all their wacky episodes. So I can’t say for sure in the future if Jennifer will go thru the same changes as these two. In the end she is entitled to her own mistakes.
