With the rave reviews rolling in for Jennifer Hudson‘s performance as music royal Aretha Franklin in the forthcoming biographical film, ‘Respect,’ it’s no wonder the ‘American Idol’ alum has biopic fever.

While blazing the promo trail in support of the Franklin film (due in theaters August 13), Hudson shocked many by revealing she’d also like to tackle the life story of media mogul Oprah Winfrey – a revelation she claims the talk show queen/actress isn’t aware of…yet.
