Jennifer Hudson Covers Ebony – Discusses Tragic Life Events
The December/January cover of ‘Ebony’ features a glowing Jennifer Hudson in a strapless, curve-hugging blue dress. Despite a beautiful smile on the outside, she opens up about how her decision to visit her fiancé in Florida to watch his WWE match, as opposed to returning home to Chicago, saved her life.
Three years ago, her mother, brother and nephew were brutally murdered in Chicago by her sister’s estranged and demented husband. Hudson chose to fly down south to visit her fiancée David Otunga that is what saved her life.
“That’s one of the things that saved my life, because I could have been home with my mom then,” she says. “[David] wanted me to come out to Florida instead of going to Chicago. I flew out to see him; that’s why I’m still here.” Were it not for fate and destiny, Hudson would not be on this earth today.
“I’ve never said that before, and I can’t believe I just said that now,” she said as she finished. “But I didn’t know. He was just like, ‘I’m going to this wrestling thing, and it’s in Tampa. I’m going out there now, so you can come out there and see me versus going home.’”
Due to the tragic event, which claimed the lives of her family members, Hudson and Otunga, who have been engaged since 2008 and are parents of a two-year-old son, have no plans to marry.
She stated, “After that happened, I was like, ‘I don’t know what I want.’ A lot of things have happened in my life. There are a lot of things that I need to get adjusted to before I do anything else. That’s how I feel about it.”
Hudson’s brother-in-law is due to appear in court for his trial. Hudson is reportedly set to appear to testify.
Mitch Winehouse Denies Saying Lady Gaga Should Play His Daughter In Biopic
A couple of days ago, rumours were circulating about Amy Winehouse’s father wanting Lady Gaga to play Amy in a possible Biopic. However, Mitch Winehouse has responded to the rumours saying that even though a Biopic is still a possibility, he never wanted Gaga to play Amy.
A representative for the Winehouse family spoke to Entertainment Weekly on the matter saying: “Mitch and the family would entertain ideas perhaps for a film but only one they were sure would tell the truth.”
He also addressed the matter of Gaga playing Amy via his Twitter account. “I never said Lady Gaga will play Amy in film. Also Amy’s room not a shrine. Wot a load of rubbish,” he tweeted.
This may be sad news for the little monsters out there who wanted to see their mother as Amy on the big screen but have no fear, she’ll make it there sometime soon.
