Jennifer Hudson

We know Jennifer Hudson can sing. That is never in despute. Girl suh-layed during her 'American Idol' season, which she didn't win, and won an Oscar for her work in 'Dreamgirls.'

Giving hope to everyone who's keeping their fingers crossed for an all-alumni judging panel for next year's 'American Idol,' Jennifer Hudson is now officially on board. One down -- two to go.

'American Idol' is getting desperate for ratings, and they've already cleaned house at the judges' table. To salvage the show, they're looking for fresh blood -- fresh and familiar blood. Producers are reportedly considering 'Idol' alums Adam Lambert, Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson to judge season 13. And we think it's kind of a bang-up idea.

Since the "theme" for the 2013 Academy Awards is music in movies, it makes sense that Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson would be called upon to perform the big number from the movie that won her the prize, 'Dreamgirls.' Here she is singing a bit of 'And I'm Telling You...

Jennifer Hudson, a onetime Best Supporting Actress winner, donned a long-sleeved, midnight blue lace dress by Roberto Cavalli for the 2013 Oscars. It was certainly a shade not worn by other celebs on the red carpet, and it made her stand out.
