Jennifer Hudson — you know, she is remarkable. She’s an EGOT. Her talk show was just renewed for its 3rd season. She’s pulling in 4 million viewers a day. Not bad!
On Monday the 22nd, JHud will bring on as a guest her boyfriend, rapper and actor Common. They’ve been together a while, so I guess they’re ready to make it public. There aren’t two nicer people! Good for them!
Years ago, JHud called me from Chicago in the middle of the night to tell me she’d just given birth. “I promised I’d give you the scoop!” she exclaimed. The baby was just being rolled into her room. I think she was delirious with friendship and loyalty.
A little over a year ago, I went to see Common in his Broadway debut in “Between Riverside and Crazy.” Surprise of surprises: Hudson was visiting him in his dressing room on an off week from her show. I should have known then she was more than just a fan! (I took the picture here— that’s the great actor Stephen McKinley Henderson.)
We should all watch on Monday. Much deserved happiness, Jennifer! Now, make a new album! We need that voice!
The legendary @common visits @IAMJHUD on @JHudShow this Monday 1/22. We are not going to miss this! https://t.co/MuaUv6WvyY
