    Jennifer Hudson’s Slim Chance

    Is it just me, or does Jennifer Hudson look, um, DIFFERENT on her debut album's cover?

    Seriously, not since Ann Wilson was electronically compressed from a size 16 to a size 2 in one of Heart's '80s music videos have I seen such a glaring example of what appears to be some sort of digital diet. Because unless Jennifer has been on Beyonce's pre-Dreamgirls lemon-and-cayenne-pepper fasting plan for the past six months, this album art does NOT accurately represent the real Hudson from the neck down.

    So, this looks like one extreme Photoshop makeover. But why? Jennifer looks great the way she is. Do the suits at RCA Records really think she'll shift more units with her head digitally decapitated and then Frankensteined onto some skinny mystery body? And do they really think her fans are unobservant enough to overlook such a radical renovation of her famously full figure?

    You know, Effie would not stand for this, and neither should Jennifer. Neither should her fans.

    And if this really is Jennifer's actual body, then someone please email me the name of her personal trainer, pronto.

    And that's the skinny, for now.

      yeaa..... she pretty... but thats photoshop.... um is it true that she got engaged to ""Punk"" off of I Love New York ?????

      it does not matter. she is a true talent and a diva in the making. when compaines invest in you , sometiems you have to do what they tell you needs to be done until you can call your own shots.

      hollyhoods a beast.

      you all I truly understand what everyone is saying but what if the photos where taken after dreamgirls b/c remember she did get really thin afterwards. But seeing her on the BET awards she is not that small anymore.

      Well I look at it like this, who is it hurting? No one. She is a beautiful woman regardless how they fix her cover.

      YOU GO GIRL.

      i think her heads the only thing thats jennifer hudson, the rest is like some other chick that's skinnier.

      I think they used her real body, but skimmed a little extra off the sides. If you look at her arms, they don't fit her body size.

      I mean really, we all know what she really looks like so who is she fooling with this anyway??

      "it's not polite to talk about anyone. cause one day that person might show you and the world. what she or he can really do. i use to get talked about. but it ain't nobody business what i did. but it's gonna shock the entire world."

      Celebrities and politicians put themselves in the court of public opinion. If you don't want your life scrutanized, don't get famous!

      That being said, of course she's photoshoped! What celebrity photo in print isn't? They are constantly doing things to make them look better than what they do in real life!

      The clothes she's wearing probably work wonders on her body shape, and she's not been "sized down" that much really.

      I think it's really her face that been really worked over. Her face is much rounder in other photos. They gave her a more defined and pointer jaw. At least that's what I noticed.

      she didnt look like that on the BET Awards
    • Raymond E  •  3 years 7 months ago
      Ahh! The public life under the microscope. Who cares if the photo is touched up. Just don't skinny up her voice. The girl can "saaang".
    • AYU  •  3 years 7 months ago
      she looks like she needs to eat a Whopper

      In reality, she has a little more weight on her. and it's not a bad thing either. This album cover makes her look weird and somewhat out of proportion.

      such a decrease in weight would shrink everything... not JUST her waistline...
      but hey ... if she's cool with that, then i don't care

      I love her as a fellow big woman. I hope the record label knows the mistake theyre making by trying to sell a touched up photo to us as the real thing. They are definitely insulting our intellegence. I believe its news worthy because it affects future Marketing and Public Relations Plans. We want the truth, the real thing..we are not ignorant anymore, treat us as such!

      the media is always telling "bigger" girls that they're not pretty or just not good enough because of their size, and now that a "bigger" girl looks great from either a "little" photoshop or a great diet she's picked on. this is ridiculous she looks great and people shouldn't be worried with how she looks. it's not like she looks anorexic or anything.
    • Michelle  •  3 years 7 months ago
      Are you serious, it doesn't even come close to looking like her body. Why would executives go to such extremes? Guess what, we are not stupid, everyone knows that's not Jennifer Hudson's body
    • Dahlia C.  •  3 years 7 months ago
      Every celebrity picture is shopped a little, but for the most part I think this is her new body. I was a little skeptical at first, but on bourgy.com there is a story about her dating "Punk" from I love New York and its accompanied by a picture of both of them hugging a fan on July 4th in a mall. It looks like a camera phone picture(and those are the WORST), and EVERYTHING on her looks smaller; her arms, her face, her chest everything. So I think she just may have a hellified work-out program. Good for her.

      P.S. her trainer's info is on her myspace page, so get with the program and STOP HATING!

      WOooOooW!! you guys are so right...going back to the BET awards..she wasn't even as close to this Siiize!!...shucks, she should have gave STAR JONES the recipe to this new diet...guess she is on the new crack diet..lol....NAaaaw the CEO and major records heads so Dreamgirls and sorry but she would have looked like Effe had they not PHOTOSHOPED it!!...freaking technology...next they are going to erase jesus off the cross...lol....TGIF!!!!!
