J.Hud: A Little R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Dept. of Foregone Conclusions: Aretha Franklin confirmed that Dreamgirls star (and Burger Queen) Jennifer Hudson was being considered for the lead role in a biopic about the soul legend. Franklin told Access Hollywood that she actually sees three different people playing the role, but didn’t reveal any names. Auditions for the stage musical, which will precede the filmed version of the story, begin May 1st, and as yet there’s no word on whether Hudson’s been asked to show up. Odds are she’s too famous for that now — after all, she’s even been awarded Jennifer Hudson Day in Chicago. We bet she’ll be in the film, though. What do you make of her chances?
