“[He's] nice and thick! I love it!”

Jennifer Hudson, on her fiance, Rock of Love 2 I Love New York’s David Otunga.

Meet David Otunga, who successfully proposed to Jennifer Hudson on Friday night, her rep confirmed. They’ve been dating for less than a year.

Now, he’s not terrible looking — a little bit of a creep factor, but it could just be a bad picture — and he graduated from Harvard Law, so he’s not a dummy and he certainly has earning potential, but he’s also the same guy who was known as Punk on I Love New York 2.

I don’t have a whole lot of deal-breakers in my dating rulebook, but I’d be pretty wary of going out with a guy who appeared on any ultra-trashy reality dating show. I would be doubly wary of anyone who appeared on that show’s follow-up season.

It’s funny, because if I just heard Jennifer was marrying this buff dude with a Harvard Law degree, I’d be like, “Score, Jen! Totes jealous!” But add in that he appeared on I Love New York 2?

It’s like if someone said, “Listen, Beet. I have the perfect guy for you. He’s tall, he’s hot, he’s buff, he’s smart, he’s loaded, he’s funny, he’s sweet, he’s just amazing!”

I’d be like, “Woah, sounds great, when do I meet him?”

And then they were like, “Well, here’s the catch — and you just let me know if this is a deal-breaker, okay? — he died two months ago. But other than that? He’s ideal. What do you say?”

See, sometimes all it takes is one little piece of information to ruin an otherwise perfect guy.

Congrats, Jen, I guess.

Oscar-winning actress and singer Jennifer Hudson has been asked by Barack Obama to sing the national anthem on Thursday – the day of the presumptive Presidential candidate’s much-anticipated address to the Democratic convention in Denver.

“His reps called and said we’d love for you to sing the anthem on Thursday,” said Jennifer’s rep. “She’s thrilled and excited. It’s a tremendous honor.”

I just came across this photo of Jennifer Hudson performing in Miami on NYE, and I was like “Dayum!” And then I looked at it again and I was like “Dayum!” again.

You know, she may not be the skinniest person in Hollywood, but her body’s kind of banging just the way it is.

This woman is phenomenal.

Looks like this total hottie — New York Jets free safety Kerry Rhodes — belongs to Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson!

VOGUE’S Andre Leon Talley once again got his big fashion paws on “American Idol” alum Jennifer Hudson, squeezing her into a tight gold gown at the Fashion Group International’s Night of Star’s gala Thursday at Cipriani. The Oscar winner walked the red carpet with Talley, but once inside cozied up to her new man, New York Jets free safety Kerri Rhodes. “He followed right behind her in a separate car, but when they were inside they were holding hands all night and taking trips to the bathroom together,” said a spy.

Day-um, girl.

Just day-um.

Bathroom trips?

Day-um.

I gotta win me an Oscar.

I am so jealous. Burger King has just given Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson free Burger King for the rest of her life! I truly believe I could live on BK’s chicken sandwiches alone. I think it has all the food groups, right? And it’s yummy. I need to win an Oscar.

You see, when Jennifer responded to Simon Cowell’s complaints that she didn’t thank American Idol in her Oscar acceptance speech, Hudson responded by saying: “If I’d been any better at my job when I was at Burger King in my middle teens, I wouldn’t be here either, so should I thank them, too?”

Burger King responded with the following statement:

“…In response to Jennifer’s recent comments in which she asked if she should be thanking Burger King, we say thanks, but no thanks are necessary. Burger King Corporation is proud of Jennifer’s success and while we never like to lose employees, in this case, our loss is the entertainment industry’s gain … To further show our support for Jennifer, and make sure she never has to sing for her supper again, Burger King Corporation is giving her a pre-paid BK Crown Card that will be automatically reloaded for life.”

Burger King is only the latest fast food chain to grab free publicity from a celeb’s controversy. In late January, when Kevin Federline took heat from the fast food industry for a Super Bowl commercial, Taco Bell responded by offering K-Fed a one-hour shift, complete with free food for the patrons during that hour.
