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.”

Beyonce may be used to seeing her name #1 on music charts, but this time the ‘Love On Top’ singer’s name appears atop another tally.  The star has been granted the honor of the UK’s top selling fragrance, besting chart rivals Britney Spears’ (‘Radiance’) and Mariah Carey’s ‘Lollipop Bling’.

Heat’s follow-up fragrance ‘Heat Rush’ is also said to be making its way up the rankings.

Black Eyed Peas star Will.I.Am appears to have caught Bieber-fever (or some other unfortunate affliction) as, in a recent interview, he is quoted as saying:

Via MTV:

“Justin Bieber could be like Prince. Justin Bieber could be like Michael Jackson where his career is like, for like, ‘Wow! Explain its 2030, Justin Bieber, your career is so long. You’re the first artist to be broadcasted to Mars. How do you feel about that?’ Justin Bieber could be that dude.”

Will.I.Am is said to be hard at work at multiple projects, including that of Bieber’s.  The star also has the honor of being one of the last producers featured on Jackson’s work before his untimely passing.

First Beyonce, now Bieber.  Who’s next?

As has been making waves across the net, rap royal Jay-Z and partner-in-crime Kanye West topped charts this week with the release of their joint album ‘Watch the Throne’.  The album, which sold a staggering 436,000 copies its first week of release, comes as the highest male debut of the year (second overall to Lady Gaga‘s ‘Born This Way’).  Aside from providing an unprecedented (for recent times) unleaked album, Jay-Z also set a few other precedents with his most recent release.
