News recently broke that Jennifer Hudson is definitely pregnant, confirming a long-held notion that we can rarely depend on publicists to report the truth. If you remember, back in April, her PR denounced the pregnancy rumors saying that there was no truth to them. Boy were they wrong and shame on us for listening to them. So now we have to take what they say with a grain of salt, just like how we take most of the information we receive these days.

But anyway, the pregnancy was confirmed when she held a baby shower at a relative’s home last Saturday (May 30) in Chicago. And the picture above of her, her 7 month baby bump and her fiance David Otunga leaving a KFC recently also adds more truth to the story. The bump doesn’t lie people. While no one knows the gender of the baby just yet, we do know he/she should be here sometime in the late summer (July/August).

R&B singer Jennifer Hudson performed on NBC’s “Today Show” Friday morning at the Rockefeller Center in New York City.

The former American Idol hopeful performed “Spotlight” and “If This Isn’t Love,” her hit singles from her current self-titled album in stores now. She also performed “And I Am Telling You,” a song she resurrected and made famous again, with some singer named Melissa in front of the live studio audience, who watched the performances from outdoors in the streets of Manhattan.

Jennifer Hudson may be ready for wedding bells, but she’s not ready for the sweet smell of dirty diapers and similac just yet. According to a rep for the former American Idol there is absolutely “no no no no way” that she’s pregnant right now.

Jennifer Hudson - the only American Idol star to boast both an Oscar and a Grammy Award - is definitely not pregnant, according to her rep, who says there’s “no no no no way” that the rumor is true. The rumor gathered support after Essence published the story, saying that they had confirmed the news “through two sources close to [Hudson].”

If the rumors were true, this would be the first child for Hudson and fiance, Harvard Law graduate David Otugna. The singer, who is currently on tour with Robin Thicke, has yet to reveal the wedding date.

Ja Rule was giddy as a mutha as he performed at the Grand Opening of Float and 207 at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego Friday.

These days, who’d put up good money for a Ja Rule performance or appearance? We are in a recession, after all.
