One of the true talents in the industry nowadays, Academy Award, Golden Globe, Grammy Award winning (and currently the third most popular Jennifer on google), Jennifer Hudson has become an inspiration for many through her films, music and weight loss. Which makes this latest revelation surprising that J-Hud would pass on such an inspiring role.

Find out why J-Hud said she turned down the role of Precious, after the jump!

J-Hud writes in her upcoming book ‘I Got This: How I Changed My Ways and Lost What Weighed Me Down’ that she wasn’t ABOUT to put on weight for the role!

“I had done that with Effie… and as much as I was moved by this film. I wanted to try a role that had nothing whatsoever to do with my weight.”

Good because I COULD NOT take a singing Precious…I would’ve climbed in a coffin so you could burying me ALIVE

Precious I mean J-Hud’s book drops on January 10th.

Dear Precious,

You know you are wrong for that outfit you wore last night to the 2011 National Arts Awards! Now, usually you cover up decent, but last night-what happened? Were you drunk? High? All of the above? Your team around you should FIRED immediately baby girl for letting you go out the house (or ANYWHERE) looking like that. That ain’t it.

‘Precious’ star Gabourey Sidibe and her boyfriend of over a year now were caught over the weekend taking in a New Jersey Nets game courtside!

It has been widely publicized that Gabby has been trying to keep her relationship private, even going as far to deem her man “Boyfriend X”…nice to see that the couple have decided to show some PDA!

But looking at the picture below, looks like Gabby is in love with the view she got from a Milwaukee Bucks player

Or maybe it was somebody across the court eating a hotdog…

I KID I KID!

Gabourey’s interview with PEOPLE:

I am looking for someone who is so sweet, who offers to help me put on my shoes before an event.”

She also has a thing for musicians, as evidenced by her public declarations of love – or, at least, affection – for Justin Timberlake. For now, though, there’s another singer catching her eye.

‘I’m super crushing on Trey Songz,’ she says. ‘I used to listen to his music when I worked in an office, and when I met him a few weeks ago, I couldn’t contain my excitement.’ During their first conversation Sidibe recalls asking the singer, ‘Now that we go to the same events, you think I’m cool, right? Do you want to date? We could just get married!’”

So maybe Trey was thinking about ‘Precious’ when he said “BOTTOMS UP”? *blank stare*

Earlier this week on his radio show, he went innnn on Gabby!

*She really should have gotten the Best Actress award because she’s never going to have another shot. What movie is she gonna be in?” “‘Blind Side 2,’” Stern suggested. “She could be the football player, take out the whole front line.”

Check out the entire interview…

As Mo’Nique approached the podium, she received a standing ovation as and thanked the Academy for paying attention to the performance and not the politics. She also went on to thank Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry stating “because you touched it the whole world saw it.”
