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 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.

No matter what she is still amazingly talented. I think it's real.

I watched the BET Awards and she definitely wasn't as slim as she looks in the above picture. The picture has been digitally modified.

that photo is so dissing jennifer. we as her fans love jennifer for who she is and not for wat album covers says wat she shuld look like. if u dont stand for yourself u will stand for nothing

i personally think that they did something. But why. Her body was fine the way it was.

FYI, I didn't say Jennifer went from a size 16 to a size 2. Read more closely--I am referring to an old Heart video (I forget which one) in which Ann Wilson, a plus-sized woman, was compressed digitally to look unrelistically skinny. It was a controversy at the time.

I think it might actually be her real body, but, she might have a corsit or something on beacause they make you look slimmer and toned and makes your boobs look look huge. Either way Jen looks awsome

i am a big girl, and jennifer always made me smile being so proud of her big beautiful body, but now she shames her name and isn't a person i want to admire.

Even if she did lose weight she would have lost some boobs. Not so much in this picture. That is for sure photoshop!!!

It looks digitally enhanced. Maybe it was her that decided to do it. I know I wouldn't want to look fat in my album cover.

90. Yahoo! Music User - Fri Jul 11, 2008 11:17am PDT

it could be her but if it is i want the number of her trainer to. she looks like she droppped a really drastic amoutn of weight in a short time. she didnt look like this at the BETs or in her new video and that was recent.

92. Parris - Fri Jul 11, 2008 11:25am PDT

95. Nancy - Fri Jul 11, 2008 11:43am PDT

That is NOT her real body and we all know it. Definite Photoshop work.

96. dreamgurl19_03 - Fri Jul 11, 2008 11:46am PDT

AND THATS FINE IF ITS PHOTOSHOP! ITS HER AND HER BODY SHE CAN DO WHAT SHE WANTS.

97. Brandy - Fri Jul 11, 2008 12:04pm PDT

i honestly think that a lot can be done with her clothing, camera angles and everything. she is too much a of true to self image person and wouldn't do something like that. She is proud of her size so i don't think it's photoshoped

98. Yahoo! Music User - Fri Jul 11, 2008 12:08pm PDT

yall are wack !!! she looks amazingly good ! give her props

99. Jennifer - Fri Jul 11, 2008 12:08pm PDT

It's amazing what the right angle can do... believe me I know, LOL... I do think she got a little help but maybe she's been training for this one.
