Those pants are not flattering on her at all, neither is the top. The shoes are cute though.

I think that it’s unfortunate that Matt kept trying to press the issue with her, especially considering (according to Essence) that one of her stipulations is that interviewers not ask her about that. I think she was hot that Matt slipped that in, after I’m sure she asked that not be done. That being said, she handled it poorly, after everything she’s gone through, who can blame her? But being in the spotlight, sooner or later she had to know that would happen, and she should have prepared herself to handle it with more dignity and less attitude. A simple, “That is still too painful for me to discuss,” might have worked better. Somebody get her some PR people–quickly.

damn!!! i wish everyone would just leave her alone!!! if she is pregnant then thats she and david’s business. they do not owe the media or america an explination! As for Matt i think he new better but he went there anyway and she handled it just fine. personally i wouldn’t have answered him. How do people expect her to heal if they keep bringing it up??? it’s like the media wants to see her have a public breakdown. LEAVE THE GIRL ALONE!!! let her enjoy her happy moments.

I know everybody else has said it, but they are just to horibble for me not to stick in my two cents. Whoever gave her those AWFUL 90s pants and TERRIBLE puffy top should be ashamed of themselves. SMH.
Jennifer, what were you thinking girl? I don’t know if you are pregnant or not, but if you’re going to hit the potato chips like that — please talk to Monique about how BBW need to dress. It takes more work to find cute stuff and then it cost more 2 to be a stylish big girl — I SHOULD KNOW. Hands down, this is the worst outfit I have ever seen in my life.

WTF? WHY ARE PEOPLE ON HERE GETTING EMOTIONAL ABOUT J.HUD BEING PREGNANT? IS IT YOUR BABY?? THEN WHY DO YOU CARE? I THINK THE GIRL CAN SING SO I LISTEN TO HER MUSIC. I DON’T GIVE A FU@K ABOUT HER SEX LIFE. WHETHER SHE IS OR NOT IS JENNIFER & DAVID’S BUSINESS. SOME OF YOU PEOPLE NEED TO GET SOME BUSINESS OF YOUR OWN.

Well, he found a much more beautiful and much better woman. New York stank ass is still on classless shows, portraying herself as a fake little bimbo. To think I actually liked her, but ever since I realized that is such a nasty, rude and classless, I just looked at her different. She is just showing everything that her mother should have had taught her not to do. Don’t get me started with that Satan-like mother of her’s. Ugh, what a nasty family.
Okay! Done with my ranting! Sorry, didn’t mean to go off-topic. Watched her this morning. I love it how she kept looking at him while she was singing. Beautiful.

The top is cute. Shoes are cute, but not together. Those pants…looks like something an old lady would wear. JHud, I’m full figured too, but dang girl! Some nice slacks would have worked it all out. You are a celebrity, have someone make you something.

Be Good J.Hud and David ! Live your lives and go on a get married already….I hope after the baby, you two don’t still plan on sayin’ “Oh, my fiance` this, my fiancee that” Make an honest man and woman out of yourselves already…geez kinda too late to take it slow with the marriage, you didn’t with anything else
And I find David attractive, but lawdy bee, does anyone remember how his mother and sister looked on IL n.Y.? Hopefully, the child is a looker and is loved as well, and that they didn’t do this to fill some empty void she has in heart for her mother, brother and nephew……..

I see the folks at Essence made their way to this site.
It’s funny to me how folks get emotional about celebs not filling them in on what’s going on in their personal life. Get a life of your own and you won’t have to live your life through celebrities.

What da hell she got on?!?!?! OMG! She REALLY needs to hire a NEW stylist! I kno she a lil heavy set, but she can still look flyy!
Lord, and these WEAVES?!?! She need to get up w/ a new hair stylist too! That wig she got is so “Corner hair store brand”!
Whew! Jennifer! Come on off it! Pay that lil extra money! Girl, ur pretty, but I don’t bother watchin u cuz ur gear ain’t up to par! It hurts me!

I personally don’t care for David, there was always just something about him (to me) that doesn’t fit with Jen. However I know that its who you (SHE) like or love. Never the less I think that any man that would lay in and get his woman pregnant and it has only been a few months after the tragedy murders of her family is LOW. To me it looks like he’s only setting her up!

i HATE how all of ya’ll are coming at her outfit…yes it IS a garbage but at the same time it is what makes her comfortable so hop off really like ya’ll actin like she modeling a new uniform that every american will soon have to wear and ya’ll gettin pissed…but last time i checked she has to wear it not you
and i agree with those who said she has an attitude and im LMAO to those who says she handled it well i mean like i LOVE LOVE jenny hud. but in all honesty i slowly lost my liking for her because every interview shes been doing lately seems like shes just been doing it for the heck of it or either has an attitude while she does it….like the grammy’s she had an attitude with ryan seacrest like he did anything to her…he just asked how are you keeping up?? is everything ok?? damn i mean dont shoot the messenger…he gets paid to ask them questions all you have to respond back is im sorry but i cant talk about that right now in this present time although i would love to let everyone know how its all going but at the same time its too personal for me to touch right now…..BOOM and then ur done but she had to talk 2 the man like he was the one working for her….i understand when ur a star people tend to pry a little TOO much but at the same time u dont have to be rude to them….jus let them know straight up how u feel and do it with CLASS and gracefulness like she keep talkin bout serving God but she know damn well God wouldnt have it so why does she keep doing it??? And i feel that as for the pregnancy rumors she needs to just stop lying and tell the truth but to be honest frankly i dont care but at the same time stop lying because then u start gettin mad when the media starts catching onto ur lie and disecting it but anywho idk and im startin not to care but i hope she takes better notes on how to handle interviews because she just didnt handle this one or the others previous ones to well

I love J Hud but honey, you would think she could find a better stylist! That outfit is so sad!!! But that pic with Punk looking at her off stage looks so sweet!
125.
Yeah And What
Sunday, May 17, 2009 /
Yup she’s pregnant! I was there before she changed into that outfit. And y’all can hate on her outfit if you want but the fact that y’all are still guessing means her stylist did her right, cause you can’t tell and Jenn would really be showing if it wasn’t for this outfit. So since Jenn is still trying to keep this under wraps I give her stylist mad props because the belly that I saw can’t be easy to hide.
126.
Yeah And What
Sunday, May 17, 2009 /
You know everybody keeps saying she’s lying about the pregnancy but technically Jennifer never said anything and nobody has asked her face to face. So a few sites and papers called her rep and manager. Who’s to say she told them! They may have said NO b/c she hasn’t told them either. But nowhere can you show me a quote that says “Jennifer Hudson said “no I’m not pregnant” She hasn’t said a damn thing so stop calling her a liar! Now if any journalist actually sat her down and said Jenn are you pregnant and then she said NO she would be lying but that hasn’t happened so get your facts straight and stop accusing!

I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS ARE LOOKING AT BUT I SEE LOVE IN THAT MAN’S EYES WHEN HE LOOKS AT JENNIFER. LOVE AND PRIDE!
WHY WOULD YOU SAY HE DOESN’T LOVE HER?
IS IT BECAUSE YOU CAN’T BELIEVE A MAN COULD ACTUALLY LOVE A WOMAN FOR WHO SHE IS AND NOT WHAT SHE CAN GIVE HIM?
YOU HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THAT SO YOU CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S POSSIBLE. I FEEL SORRY FOR SOME OF YOU WOMEN ON HERE. YOU ARE SO BITTER. IT’S SO PATHETIC.
AND IF SHE IS PREGNANT LIKE YOU SAY THEN YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY SHE IS IRRITABLE AND ANNOYED. THE HORMONES MAKE HER THAT WAY.
129.
oh so true
Sunday, May 17, 2009 /
# 125 is soooooooooo right!!! every single word she/he said is soooooo true lol the tummy is out there and they did a HELL OF A JOB hiding it because before she changed…jesus, anyways regarding her attitiude, whould you want someboy to ask you somet your really close relatives that you lost less then a year ago due to violence? she’s human you guys and it obviously bother’s her and make her feel uncomfortable when talking about it (afeter being asked not to mention anything about the tragedy by her reps) i feel that she handled it well because a lot of people whouldn’t be able to handle it that well. so what it may have cam off as RUDE what about Matt/Mark whatever his name is , he came off as ETEREMELY RUDE for asking! He should have simply aske her how is she doing, the weding plans, what are her plans after the wedding or something knew like where can you see yourself in the next 5 years as far as family wise, career etc. thaere could have been other things he could have said but he chose to ask her about the tragedy that she’s not willing to talk about and i think he got what he deserved

Plain and simple her attitude sucked….no excuses. Her attitude was horrible right when she opened her mouth and said “…That’s Essence having their moment” like wow how can you diss one of the most popular black magazines that has been around and has saw much more success frankly than you have?? All she had to say was that was just a misprint, who knows where that came from? But no she had to put them on blast and in front of a crowd full of white people making them look bad so to those who says that she had an attitude because the question of her familys death was too much for her…stop lying to yourselves because she had an attitude once the damn interview started but then again she did have a diva persona on American Idol so why am i so damn surprised?? And then how she responded to the little short guy when he asked about her wedding and said so your not gonna let me know anything? she just goes “No im not!…you MIGHT get a secret invitation” now i hate to say this but we all know if that were beyonce or any other singer they would of been a little more warm and playful like “oh id love to tell you but its a surprise but you can tell me how you like it when i give you an official invitation” and then the part about punk and her givin googoo eyes OMG whateva i dont believe that mess 4 a second but its like whatever im not feeling Jennifer like i used to but oh well tho shit happens

@129 - Oh So True!
THANK YOU! And I couldn’t agree more! Matt over stepped his bounds and every fan out there on Friday knew it and wasn’t happy about it. Jenn has not tried to exploit any part of the tragedy, all she has asked is that people respect her privacy and not ask her about it. David even said in an article that one of her biggest apprehensions about coming back was being asked about her family. Jenn’s copping mechanism is to not talk about it. Matt knew that and completely disrespected her wishes and her feelings. She handled the situation the best that she could and kept her composure. Believe me when Matt said she was looking at David …Oh she was! She was looking to him to draw strength from him to get through it and if looks could kill Matt would have been dead b/c David looked like he could have popped Matt’s head like a pimple for putting her on the spot and putting her through that. After that interview I am sure that David once again had to console Jennifer, I mean she is already mostly likely on an emotional roller coaster just because of the pregnancy and then to throw her for a loop like that! Matt Lauer should be ashamed of himself!
Oh and BTW to the people that want to throw salt and say that David doesn’t really love her….YOU ARE 110% DEAD WRONG! That man loves Jennifer with all his heart. He doesn’t see anyone but her and that baby! And get it right he held her down and was there for her through something that some husbands of many years couldn’t have supported their spouse through! I give David so much respect and he earned it!

@ YEAH AND WHAT
thank you as well!!! you are sooooo right! david is there for her, people are soooo judgemental! they don’t know her or david and for those of you saying she has an “ATTITDUE PROBLEM” sooo not true jennifer is sooo goofy, live, and she loves to have fun, and i’m not just saying that because i’m a fan but i know first hand how down to earth she is so until ya’ll meet her or get to know her i suggest ya’ll shut it! the only reason she was acting like that was because ole’ dude was being a ass ya’ll have to admit he was asking for it!! Now as far as david being there, he’s always there for her even during the tour everytime for the meet & greets that i attended he was there with her. David is head over hills in love with her and would kill someone if they touch her esp. since the baby is involved now. the point is HE LOVES HER SHE LOVES HIM! THERE GONNA LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER WITH BABY DAVID..THE END OF THIS STATEMENT! point bam blank!
p.s. Let the haters hate and watch that money pile up lol
god bless you jen & david

I love J. Hudson. I actually went to high school with her and never noticed her. I’m glad that she has prevailed, considering her tragic family loss. I’m also glad to see her as a full figured woman in Hollywood holding her own. It really empowers women in general. Hollywood makes most women feel like they dont measure up..i’m glad to see her still looking like herself. I still think her new beau is a lil umm..”Suspect” tho..lol.

yup she looks the hottest of messes but i still LOVE her and happy she is with “Punk”. He def upgraded when he got with her. It does look like she is preggers in those pants especially when she is moving and you see it from the camera that was looking up at her from where the audience was (from under her belly). If she isnt that girlfriend needs a personal trainer and needs to hit the gym ASAP but im still loving her. Do what you do mama. So happy she is coping well and realizes God is the Truth!!! She gave Him props and stood by it so Kudos to you Jen and Congrats
