Jennifer Hudson Breaking New Ground, Scores Cover of Vogue
Wednesday. 2.21.07 12:28 pm
Jennifer Hudson is the third African American woman since December 2002 to grace the cover of Vogue magazine.
I got the chance to meet Jennifer at the AEC/ASCAP luncheon at the Beverly Hilton this past Sunday morning in Los Angeles. We'll have footage of that a little later in the week.
I was working the red carpet and Jennifer was the last to come through. She was on tap to honor original Dreamgirl, Sheryl Lee Ralph for her philanthropy and commitment to AIDS prevention and awareness.
It was a quick interview. She was being dragged down the carpet by her handlers. Her quirky yet bubbly personality kept it lively. (I'm being nice here.)
She did however stop to speak with me answering questions on her new album, Oscar hoopla and having just bought her first home in Chicago.
What I did like is that Jennifer made it clear to me that there would be no movies, plays, commercials or projects that would happen before she completed her album. "I want to concentrate on my album and give it my all. You should hear something by March," she said as they pulled out of my camera shot.
