Stars Attend Opening Night of ‘The Color Purple’ On Broadway

Superstar Jennifer Hudson and her life partner David Otunga Jr. brought their son David Otung, left, to Opening night of the Broadway play The Color Purple at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre in New York City on Thursday. Don’t you love J-Hud and WWE star David as a couple? They set a great example for young people who rush through relationships like diarrhea. How cute are the boys honing their stylist skills on the red carpet?

Empire star Gabourey “Precious” Sidibe stunned on the red carpet at Opening Night of The Color Purple. Gabby is so popular that her fans nearly caused a car accident. “This one time, I was in an Uber with Jussie Smollett and Kaitlin Doubleday, and there was a car next to us that almost kept ramming into us,” Gabby told Page Six. She said she and Empire co-star Jussie screamed at them “not cause an accident. They were way too excited to care about street laws. It quickly became a ‘Fast & Furious’ moment.”

Cynthia Erivo attended Opening night after party for The Color Purple at the Copacabana nightclub in NYC. I wonder if Cynthia is ever mistaken for something else due to her strong jawline, prominent brow ridge and wide shoulders?

Handle your issues

Gaby hunny……just because your plus size does mean that you don’t have cute clothing options. Fire your stylist.

The babies are cute…other than that, I’m in a “If you can’t say something nice…” mood today, so I’ll just sit here and read y’alls comments, popcorn in hand.

And the men are complimenting her very well!!!

Jennifer and David have been ‘engaged’ since September 2008.
I’ve never understood the “lets raise kids together but not get married” thing.

That’s a beautiful shot of Jennifer and the men in her life. She’s amazing, from her voice to her acting. I saw her perform on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” utter amazement.

Suze says she’s never been with a man ever. Too bad.
She’s a pretty woman too. It’s a shame she’s never had the pleasure of a good tube steak.

She actually looks better than I’ve seen her previously.

Federal employees and active duty servicemen/women had their info hacked wut. There was a big security breach. They sent out letters and offered free credit monitoring and everything. I got two letters in the mail so far.

I’m sorry, cuz I know its been said before, but Gaby really needs to lose weight for her health! She might be healthy, but long term it can cause a lot of problems. I hope she gets some help in becoming healthier!

I agree this is the best she has looked!! While I don’t like the booties, it is much better than those lean-to-the-side flats that she be wearing!! o_O
Wuts got Petty Davis Eyes..

Who is Gabby’s makeup artist..they need a kick in de ayazz.. They give her smokey eyes when she already have small eyes, they don’t know how to conture her whole face. Why put that much blush on her?
Ms.Capricorn101

Lets see: Suze & her grandma, An unclockable with strong shoulders, Gabby looking like the great pumpkin Charlie Brown & Jennifer with her saggy jaws. But the kids are adorable.
nucynu25

I luv that pic of Jen. I hate taking pics but I need to take some with my baby.
YOUR man chose BSweet #ohwell

Maybe her eyes ain’t small, maybe her face just big. Lol
nucynu25

Gabby look like she just learned how to do makeup, and went straight to Walgreens & purchased Maybelline.
LeBrick James

If she has a stylist, that stylist should repent for stealing money, ’cause that’s all he/she’s doing.

I should be packing and all I want to do is eat a rice crisy treat and take a nap.

Jennifer Hudson’s son is so friggin’ adorable…almost gave me baby fever.

Gabby’s makeup artist needs to lose her license.

Its David’s nephew Trae…saw this last night.
Blaque Mahogany

Thanks to you I went and looked at the pic…and consequentially got a close up of J-Hud’s hair/edges. Why do they have her hair slicked down with black gel. At least that’s what it looks like. I actually just don’t like her hair at all. Thank you for that….

That is a really adorable pic. David and the little guys look so dapper. I wonder who the other little fella is. Dorothy must be born again with that shapeless little girl dress on.
Wildcat34

Gabbie needs to lose weight. It’s very unhealthy. She should probably look to Monique to mentor her, because at one point she also pretended that her being overweight was disguised as a confident woman. Eventually, she listened to her doctor and lost the weight and looks much happier and healthier. Cynthia has a beautiful sculpted body, but the makeup is too much!
MotherOfDragons, GetOffMyENuts

Hey! How are you? Bora Bora.
AnonymousRose

why put anything on her
Canary Red™

“Gabby’s makeup artist needs to lose her license.”

LEAVE!!! ( ROTFL)

Then come back so I cant tell you…

Gabby did that her self, put that lipstick on her lips and then dabbed that lipstick on her cheeks & smeared it all over face!
http://theempirefiend.tumblr.com/ Bird

He ain’t came up in that thing yet? He still got that law degree to fall back on. He just playin right now.
SunRiseBlossom

Just a random: I hate strapless dresses… many are pretty (example Jennifer Hudson’s dress), but they sag at the breast… I HATE that!!! Carry on… Lol
harley_quinn2.0

No you have me crying
http://theempirefiend.tumblr.com/ Bird

Ooh. Have fun! And get to packin before you forget something in a rush.
eljjai

oh Gabby…I really hope she gets the courage to face her sitaution and change it soon.
LibraGirlonly

I agree.
PettyEyezPrime

I’m good. That sounds great. I’m so jealous ? lol. Enjoy.
SunRiseBlossom

I agree… that Dark Chocolate Jell-O pudding is not working for her face… leave that mess in the grocery department. And road side mud is not her color either!!! Ugh…

Julia had another baby?

Did you scroll up and see the close up picture of her smile… Ugh!!! Lol
harley_quinn2.0

Yes ?
Blaque Mahogany

Rofl…but you are telling me to leave. THEN you have the nerve to say that Gabby is pulling a Lark V. Bye ma’am.
PettyEyezPrime

I no likey Jen’s dress but she’s kept off the weight. Cute boys and handsome man. Why Gabby’s coat sleeves so long but the zipper is behind her back? Why she look so greasy? Her boots suit her though. Cynthia, that look is not it. That lipstick color is pretty though. Whangs dog’s hair looks better than Katht’s. The “married” folk look happy.
PettyEyezPrime

??her situation??
PrettyBrown28

Interesting.
Mela Reign

I think Gabby is a pretty young lady but her makeup artist and stylist either hate her guts or is related to Ms. POP holding it down and is considered legally blind! Jennifer Hudson looks Fab and the picture of her and the fam is everything. Can’t remember who else was on this post..lol
AnonymousRose

Black women can have flawless skin with out all that make up, we already have that in our Gene…..our skin is rich, pure and nothing else like it….***shrugs****

Something else like what? Dead? Chick’s makeup is casket damn sharp. Hell, Ghostface Killa, The Ghost, Powder, Casper….

I knew Suzy was a lesbian but I thought that was her mom ?. Gabby ? Outfit is cute …. It’s a great improvement but ….. She just looks stuffed in things or something. She is confident and talented though….

I’m going to do it…after this nap. I need this nap.

Yes that’s exactly what she is pulling!!!! ???

I reeeeeeally want Gabs to lose weight. She actually looks uncomfortable.

I adore Jennifer Hudson. Despite all the madness she has been through, she not only kept going, she found a way to give back to her community. I have a feeling her son is being raised right.
NYTimes#1Bestseller

I don’t understand that shit either
PettyEyezPrime

Lol. Well you wear bug spray like perfume and TURN UP!
imright

???

?she looks a bit more put tgthr than usual
Readytochokemothernatureonout

Lil David is beyond adorable
SG

I was thinking the same thing. She really looks uncomfortable. I know people can be heavier and healthy at the same time….but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
I cAll ThE sHoTs…

I’m sorry it is not o.k. to be that overweight just because you act. EJ Johnson needs to give her the number of his surgeon, She should be able to enjoy her younger years fully.
stav

That homosexual man (David Otunga) will never marry her, they have been engaged forever. Why buy the cow? When you get the A-list benefits for free.
That’s Interesting

Gabourey is actually pretty. She needs to lose that weight because you can’t survive that long being that big. She’ll be in a hoveround soon.
Mela Reign

Who is the dude with the blue lipstick? Never heard of him * shrugs*
LeBrick James

Yup. Extremely unhealthy.
Not wishing bad on her, but honestly, if she lives to see 55/60 that would be a bit of a surprise.
SehkmetGoddess

The blush on Gabby’s face though? Why?!
Missy

Gabby why do you let them put all that red blush on you honey?
Ms. Damn Solo

David and the kids look nice, that’s it.
Wildcat34

Yes and get rid of the people enabling you to continue to be unhealthy. But she has to do it on her own.
stanley

Who is the other lil boy with Jennifer Hudson?
Traci404

By this time she could have lost a pound or two.
Dang girl.. she is great actress but lower the calorie intake.

I love Gabby. Imma say this is a SLIGHT step up for her in the wardrobe department. Better than the past but not quite there yet.
NOTHINGBUTTHETRUTH

What’s so cute about Jennifer and her WWE life partner. What the hell does that mean in the heterosexual community anyway? They are hardly ever seen together, they don’t look happy, and why have kids and not want to complete the family structure? We have really lost our damn minds. They are doing just what other Hollyweird couples do: FAKE IT!!!
Greg: Less hate, more love.

Tell me about it, Jennifer is something else.
Auditor

I was told marriage was for poor folks. Those that are rich/wealthy enough don’t need the stability of marriage as they reap none of the benefits that us poor folks do. They can simply make a will/power of attorney/trust for some of the same things marriage accomplishes.
don juan

There’s so much going on in those photos I don’t know where to begin. Suzie looks like the fonz father, Gabby umkay, im out.
Myopinion4u

I bet they married secretly.
Meme81

I mean, is she supposed to go away and hide just because she’s overweight? People shouldn’t expect her to be a size 6 or something, cause I’m sure she’s been big her whole life. I would rather this outfit than some of the inappropriate things I’ve seen in the mall on big girls. The moto jacket is cute.
Bayou Classic

They secretly got married a couple of years ago.
http://www.pureromance.com LA

And look at Oprah.. she happy..
NegraGata

I’ve been waiting for an opening to voice my opinion…

I saw JHud on LSSC on Tuesday, she did a song from TCP, and let me just say she is “STILL NOT SEXY” she is playing Shug, and I’m telling you her sex appeal is at -100. I’m sure there will be many that love her, but she is so not sexy.

Her interview portion on the show, she was trying to not sound too “mean” but it was sounding so forced, perhaps because I’ve been around for her whole career, starting with AI, I just can’t buy into her at all.
Isignedup4this

I think it’s her way of rebelling. I think she refuses to lose weight. Because someone told her if she lost weight she’d get more roles (no pun). But her career is doing just find. I think she could look better and come down about a 100 pounds and still be big… But I’m all for a rebel at the same time.
JustCoastWitHa

precious..why would you be on the scene lookin this late. wit an ashy knee?!
