Hot Shots: Jennifer Hudson Shines In ‘Self’ Magazine

Published: Wednesday 17th Aug 2011 by Rashad

R&B belter Jennifer Hudson was spotted on the most recent cover of ‘Self’ magazine (on sale Thursday).  In the mag the ‘Spotlight’ singer shed light on the usual topics – weight loss, movies, and more.  She revealed:

Via People magazine:

“I didn’t even know I was considered plus-sized until I came to Hollywood.  [It was not until an interviewer asked] ”How does it feel to be plus-sized in Hollywood?’ I looked around, like, Who is she talking to? Oh, me? I’m plus-sized? In the neighborhood I’m from in Chicago, a 16 is normal. But in Hollywood, everyone looks exactly the same, so I stood out.”

    LOL AT A SIZE 16 BEING NORMAL. SHE’S BEEN SLIM FOR ALMOST A YEAR AND THATS ALL PEOPLE WANT HER ON THE COVER FOR?

    Really, Jennifer? You had NO idea you were plus size? REALLY?
    It’s one thing to know that you are not a size zero, but if you were really that oblivious to the fact that you weren’t in the majority when it came to size in Hollywood, then that’s just plain ridiculous. Chicago is a world away from Hollywood in terms of what’s considered “the norm”, and I’m sure she knew that back then.
    Is it just me, or does anyone else see her in a different light after that whole twitter thing? I used to think she was gracious, humble, sweet and appreciative, but now when I think of her, it’s not in a positive way. Her husband is still hot to me tho!

    She looks okay after the weight loss but I can tell she had plastic surgery. When I lost 20 pounds a couple years ago my face slimmed down too and it is obvious. With all these celebrities that have surgery to lose weight (Jennifer, Raven Simone, etc) they have the same exact chubby face as before. I don’t see anything wrong with surgery but I think it is a waist of money when better and healthier results can be achieved with low-fat (not low-carb) change in eating and working out 2 to 3 times a week.

    Size 16 is FAT. Sorry to bust your bubbles! Well, actually I’m not. But anything over a size 10 is OVERWEIGHT.

    She looks good. But her thinking a size 16 is normal is wrong and she’s definitely not a size 0.
