Jennifer Hudson's Slim Chance

Posted Thu Jul 10, 2008 3:32pm PDT by Lyndsey Parker in Reality Rocks

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 Franksteined 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.

Wow is that really her, but I am not mad at her sometime peopel want a differnt look and for most full figure woman they want a change in their life, so you go girl. And she looks great. I was just a little shock.

Either she lost a few pounds, or it's the angle of the camera (or her body angle), or even the clothes.

5. Yahoo! Music User - Thu Jul 10, 2008 7:28pm PDT

6. fatimaisip - Thu Jul 10, 2008 9:29pm PDT

Definitely! Why didn't they reduce her boobs? They need to.

7. brown_suga23471 - Thu Jul 10, 2008 9:36pm PDT

First of all the comment made about her going from a size 16 to a size 2 is not correct if anything it's a size 10. Know who shopping or shall I say Lying and talking out the side of yo neck. Please try not to show yo ugly side. But what ever happen she waering it and wearing it well. True Blessing to U Jennifer on doing your thang and with the album, I pray it goes triple platitum. By the way was that Simmon making that silly remark Ha Ha!!!!

Thats not her, on the BET awards she DID NOT look like that and she hasn't for a while so umm PHOTOSHOP!

14. mybaybp - Thu Jul 10, 2008 10:44pm PDT

C'mon now... I saw her on BET awards and she looked Hella weird with that tight a$$ dress, she could hardly walk!! I don't recall seeing her that skinny? Me confused...

15. BREZY BRE - Thu Jul 10, 2008 10:45pm PDT

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

16. sweethoni89 - Thu Jul 10, 2008 11:29pm PDT

photoshop!!!!!!!! like one of the previous msgs above .. check out BET she wasnt that size.. if this is a true pick ..then i want to have her trainer too .. she is great, however it appears she has pressure to look small.. this pic looks fishy... :o) after all of these comments she may really try and loose it ..

17. fitzgerald_renard - Thu Jul 10, 2008 11:50pm PDT

is this really news worthy?

18. Yahoo! Music User - Fri Jul 11, 2008 12:00am PDT

whoa this just disgusts me. i hate it when i read her saying in interviews she proud of being a big girl in this industry but when she lets this happen, i hate her. shes fat so she should accept it and embrace it. if she wanted to be slimmer she sould lose weight and actaally work out and take care of herself instead of haveing her people photshop her fatness.
