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 sortĀ 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.

That's totally some graphic work but Jennifer looks fine the way she is. Very conservative and although she is not a size 4 at least she doesn't try to fit into one like other people in the "SPOTLIGHT" ;) P.S. Anyone know who the guy is in her new video? He's delightful!!!! Very nice choice.

A good pair of SPANX and maybe an inch or two shaved off with photoshop but I saw the BET pics and she isn't that far off with a good angle and photographer can do wonders!

70. T -
yeah thats photoshop because her head and body don't even fit together i can see a little photoshop but they definitely went overboard on that picture?

71. Shentel0206 -

Dear Jennifer!

Please stay your beautiful self. Be proud and health. You represent a full figure that is shaply and fabulous. Don't be pressured into lossing weight unless it is something you wanted to alway do. Keep it real, you were not meant to be a size 2. Stay you, BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

That is her ladies and gents! Black for one is sliming and the big belts tend to cover up a lot, You can definetely tell it is her body her shap is altogehter the same,plus she's probably not eating as much considering she's on her way to superstardom!

she should be proud of her real body, not her photoshopped one. but i still love her!

78. D -
unless they photoshopped her face as well, I think it's her. She looks good people, let it go.

79. ElyseY -
i think her slim body is real cause if u look at some of her youtube videos that her friend took of her she is always working out and trying to lose weight and i know she would never allow for her weight to be a problem or photoshop any part of her body! ITS REALLY REALLY HER!

80. Cynthia -
If there is some photoshopping done, it's minor. go to her myspace page and check out her pics. there are some candids vs studio shots and she looks like she's lost weight.
