Jennifer Hudson, we don’t believe you

Sandra Rose July 10, 2008

This is Jennifer Hudson’s album cover. Actually, THIS is the original cover before I brought out the tape measure and went to work on it. Clearly, that is not Jennifer Hudson’s body. Her head, yes. Body, no.

The tape measure never lies, but record labels do, and we know J-Hud didn’t go on a crash diet to achieve the perfect waistline.

The poor saps over at Island Records art department all lost their jobs over this travesty of an album cover for Mariah Carey’s E=MC2. It looks like the art dept. at Arista will meet similar fates.

I’ll give Dlisted.com‘s Michael K the honors:

JHud’s waist looks like it’s about to put up a white flag and call “mercy.” It’s obviously in major trauma from the 10 pairs of Spanx, 3 girdles and 25 layers of Saran-Wrap holding it down. I’m sure a couple of gay stylists were severely injured when they removed that belt from her waist. (Source)

I don’t know if her waist is THAT SMALL!!, but I saw the video….and she has lost A LOT of weight.

that belt is up underneath her ta-tas! I wouldn’t call that her waist! There’s still some gurth below the belt.

This cover is humiliating for Jennifer as far as I am concerned since everyone knows she is not that size. If her label has such a problem with her body then maybe they should have just done a face shot or something. This is ridiculous.

I love her new song spotlight!!! That picture is priceless
the price of false beauty!!!

Her chunky butt approved that picture! Her new song is the business! Is she really marrying gay Al’s best friend or boyfriend?

She should have kept it real….

Who cares what michael k has to say. As you’ve mentioned before perezhiltons readers are a bit insensitively racist with their comments which perez seems to encourage, and guess what so are michaels readers which he also seems to encourage. I’ve seen Michael crack on vivica constantly, Beyonce constantly, tyra banks constantly, tiffany pollard constantly and so on. He always has something to say about somebodies damn hairline. Every time I couldn’t help to think who the hell is this gay white boy to critique Black beauty, Black hair, Black any damn thing. I would call him out on it too. Eventually I got banned.lol. Whatever maybe I’m just sensitive.lol. If we can constantly talk negatively about them, then I guess the White folks can too….

@brenden,

Michael K cracks on everyone. I don’t remember his blog ever complimenting anyone. The guy has a sick sense of humor. And Vivica, Tyra, Beyonce and Tiffany Pollard deserve whatever anyone dishes out. That type of fake beauty shouldnt be celebrated, it doesn’t help anyone.

I’ll accept that. And maybe I am oversensitive, but I have to dissagree on 1 thing…With the exception of tiffany I find all those women very attractive. Whatever it took/takes, whatever they do to achieve that beauty is their business, But hey I’m just a man. And as a man I’m not worried about if youre hair is real or how much makeup you’re wearing…As long as you were born genetically female which I’m not sure Tiffany was (LOL) then I have no problem complimenting and/or celebrating what I see as a beautiful woman…

I think she should have kept it real. But you know when she took that belt off she almost passed out. Talk about a head rush…..

once again the machine goes in overload..accept this girl for who she is..only a fool would believe this coke bottle mess

And I’m still not comfortable with him talking about Black women (s) hairlines. Sorry but something just aint right about that. I’ve known a couple women who’ve said there hair was messed up due to tight braiding as a child, or their moms putting chemicals in their hair as a child and I just I don’t know something just I don’t know man maybe it’s me but I just feel like if you cant use a hot comb, then leave the subject alone.lol. Walk a mile in those yrs of being over processed shoes…I’m just saying. But I hear ya GW, and I’m not debating with ya….I’m just sayin.

awww leave Jennifer alone that chest is all hers. She can have that my back hurts just thinking about holding up some double D’s. But I actually like her music. She and Tocarra are holding it down for the plus size women. I’m not plus size but they are good representations for plus size women. Cause Sherry Sheppard and Mo’Nique are AMESS to me.

@Brenden

With the Naomi Campbells and Vivicas still rockin’ those weaves even though they are bald as eggs? That’s the type of fake beauty we have to stop. Those woman have butchered themselves just to keep up some image. (I won’t even start on Vivica’s plastic surgery).

I used to work in a hair salon, and I will never get a weave because of it. If you saw the number of black women (and now white) with missing hairlines because they want long beautiful (usually Asian) hair. it’s sad.

And if your girl told you that she lost her hair line because her mom braided it too tight or put chemicals in as a child, she’s lying. Not that doesn’t happen, but usually the scalp recovers or its not that apparent as an adult. That baldness you see, is someone wanting to look like Naomi or Beyonce when they were grown.

Curious though, to those women out there with weaves, who have had hair loss issues because of them. At what point are you going to give up the weave? How much baldness do you need before you stop the madness.

LOL I just read this on E! Online

“And I am here to tell you that the Oscar-winner did not have any Mariah Carey-like retouching!

Yes, that’s Hudson’s waist and her ample top half. “She has a tiny waist,” a source insists.”

Her publicist is amazing!

We don’t believe you – you need more people!!

oh well it’s still a nice cover. everyone knows she’s not that small and everybody who is anybody is airbrushed on these magazines. maybe not to that extreme , but it’s done everyday.
