At least, I am now, after seeing Jennifer Hudson's latest ensemble. The Dreamgirls actress was spotted in a parking lot in Los Angeles wearing the aforementioned shorts with an oversized t-shirt and a leather jacket. She also wore some tiny sunglasses and carried a purple fuzzy thing (perhaps a phone case?) in her hands which matched her manicure. Of course, we saw the nails as she showed off her pink diamond ring. Jennifer Hudson. Backgrid A Decade of Jennifer Hudson: From I Remember Me to Cats Hudson is set to star in the upcoming biopic Respect, which chronicles the late Aretha Franklin's rise to fame, starting with her beginnings in the church choir. "That's one thing I always wanted to remind everyone, no matter how we approach the music in the film," Hudson told EW. "Whether it's a secular song or a gospel song, you cannot forget her roots... everything from 'Respect' to 'Natural Woman' to 'Never Loved a Man,' it always had that soul, that church, that gospel in it."
