Jennifer Hudson expecting, Essence Magazine reports
Jennifer Hudson is still riding her celebrity.
Since returning to public life after last year's tragedy in which her mother, brother and nephew were allegedly killed by her estranged brother-in-law, she's been fodder for gossip and entertainment news.
The latest, according to Essence Magazine, is that the 27-year-old, who is engaged to be married this summer, is pregnant.
As I heard the news listening to the Tom Joyner Morning Show this morning, not everyone is happy for her. One of the listeners, who texted into the show, made a good point - that's she's pregnant before getting married. Is this really worth celebrating?
Considering that Hudson appeals to the faith-based community and was raised in the black church singing gospel music, should the community embrace this status?
What do you think?
Representatives have denied the rumors, according to this babychums.com post.

I seriously doubt this rumor, but If she is, so what. She's an adult and other celebs have done it. God Bless Her.

Only he who is without sin let him cast the stones of judgement. the community should embrace this because there are so many women who walk away from the church due to judgement.

why can't we just be happy for Jennifer if she is pregnant, what is the big deal about this. I am be more concerned with how she is coping with the deaths of her family than I would be her with
her pregnancy. Having a baby before
marriage is longer the stigma it used
to be many years ago.

To answer your question, YES the community should embrace Jennifer Hudson's pregnancy. Throughout all the scandals that have hit "the faith based community" Jennifer Hudson has never givin up on faith, so why give up on her? We can't perpetuate this holier than thou mentality when the reality is, this type of thing happens constantly in faith based families. Not only pre-marital pregnancy, but adultery, molestation, murder, you name it! Let's tell the truth and shame the devil and not pretend this is new to the community. If she is indeed pregnant, she is to be applauded for decision #1, which is keeping it, and she is also engaged to be married.

You hyper judgmental bible thumpers need to sit down. Who cares if she is preggers before getting married. I bet that person who text in engaged in premarital sex, so off your high horses people.

not that I care but I think it is nice for her to have some good come out of her life after the past year its just said that her mother cant be here to see the birth of her grandchild and at this day and age she is getting married to the guy it happens alot wether you r religous or not

That's her life. Who are we to judge.

No it's not worth celebrating at all. Although, I wish her a healthy bouncing baby boy or girl, it isn't right.
You are supposed to be married first, but women are so giving of themselves to men who may, but often times don't deserve a second look let alone the gift of intimacy. What happened to No Wed, No Bed motto?
Alot of women don't truly understand their self worth and that intimacy should be a special gift given when that times comes. And that time is marriage. We don't get birthday gifts six months in advance. I can't Christmas gifts in July. I mean, I can, but why not wait for the right time.
Posted by: Ms. Stevens | April 23, 2009 4:58 PM
IF THIS TRUE, THAN I WISH HER THE BEST IN MOTHERHOOD AND WHATEVER GOOD THAT FOLLOWS HER. AFTER WHAT SHE AND HER FAMILY BEEN THROUGH IN THE PAST YEAR, SHE REALLY DO NEED SOME GOOD IN HER PERSONAL LIFE. SO WHAT SHE'S PREGNANT BEFORE SHE'S MARRIED. THE POINT YOU PEOPLE ARE MISSING IS SHE HAS BEEN ENGAGED FOR AWHILE NOW, AND I THINK SHE COULD USE SOME PERSONAL HAPPINESS. SO, STOP TRYING TO PUT PEOPLE DOWN SO MUCH, AND GET A LIFE OF YOUR OWN. HELL!! THE ONE'S SPEAKING THIS NEGATIVITY PROBABLY HAD KIDS OUT OF WEDLOCK TOO. SO DON'T HATE!!, CONGRADULATE!! CHI-TOWN FOREVER...

We should embrace the sinner but not the sin. We should embrace the word of God over the popular comments. The world loves his own. We should choose God word and take it serious. I love Jennifer but laying around in hotels screwing is not of God if you are not married.
Posted by: Mildred | April 23, 2009 6:18 PM
Jennifer Hudson is an adult. If the world can embrace the unwed pregnant teen daughter of a vice presidential candidate, we can certainly embrace an unwed pregnant 27 year old engaged celebrity.
Remember Halle Berry, Vanessa Williams, Nicole Murphy, and the list continues.
Since most celebrities are secretive, it would suprise me if word breaks that Jennifer is already married. God Bless Jennifer and soon-to-be husband and their child.

Congratulations Jennifer if you are pregnant! You gave an awesome show in Charlotte

What is wrong with you people? Jennifer is pregnant with a GIFT from God. You don't know her business. She might be married. I can't believe, no, I can believe how many of you can think this way. Your twisted minds are why the world is in such bad shape. I wish her nothing but the best with her new buddle of joy. You all need to really think before you type. How dare you pass judgement on her. You all are nothing but hypocrites. What's in your closet? Huh?
This girl lost 3 wonderful members of her family and all you can do is throw up non-sense in her face. Many of your were conceived out of wed-lock and many of you got pregnant and still are not married. So what she is pregnant. At least Jennifer and her baby's father can take care of the kid. Where is your child's father? Locked up? Leave her alone you pharisees. You have no business, no business at all passing any form or type of judgement. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Go and pray more and ask God for forgiveness.

Let's be happy for her, this is no longer the case with a baby coming before marriage, so as long she stays in the church. with all she has been through, let's please be happy for her. if she was of another color, would it really matter then ?
Posted by: POMPANO ANGEL | April 23, 2009 9:21 PM
we definetly should call a spade a spade. Fornication is sin. That;s why the black race is and has always been at the bottom. We as a race have no values. We embrace everything contrary to the what God wants us to do. We vote Democrat where abortion and homosexuals are the main base of the party. We need to repent and turn back to God. If MY people which is called my (MY)Jesus Name would .............NUFF SAID!!!

Stop hating.
Posted by: Marlene | April 24, 2009 11:42 AM
I highly doubt that she is pregnant. I mean, this rumor has popped up about 4 times since she came back onto the scene. Jennifer has always been a beautiful and curvy woman, so that "baby bump" is probably not new life. I don't know why all this talk about "the black race" being at the bottom is even in the topic. "The black race" is not at the bottom, and they are not the only race fornicating. There are so many people out there that are fornicating and commiting other sins. I know that it is a sin to have children out of wedlock, but a true Christain would and should be happy that Jennifer Hudson is being blessed with a bundle of joy. It isn't everyday that someone is given another oppurtuniy at happiness after there life has been completly drained out of them. I am only 14 years old, but I know that when something like what happened to Jennifer Hudson can be devestating. She deserves all the happiness that the Lord wants to bless her with. The Lord has big plans for all of us, and this may be part of Jennifer Hudson's. And like I said, I highly doubt that this mighty woman of God is expecting. She is to strong in her faith to go against it and fornicate. Thanks and God Bless!

SO WHAT? The Caller and anyone else who is complaining was either born before their mother was married, or has about 5 kids right now. Jennifer is a grown woman who is ENGAGED to be married. If she wants to have a baby so what. She deserves to be happy after all she has been through.

I've seen all the comments and have one thing to say, If you guys wants to use the bible as a supporting documentation please, understand it first and then talk. Do you know what marriage is all about in the bible I'm not talking about the legal definition of marriage, but the biblical one. Marriage is when two people become one together with GOD, if we consider that you have to have a marriage certificate to be married to somebody, then Adam and Eva were fornicators?? Because if I recall they were all alone on this earth and the only way they could have marry is through GOD and GOD only.
Now we live in a society with rules en regulations that let people think that when you have a ring on it and a certificate that proves it then it is real, what happens to commitment, on a spiritual basis and love??
Posted by: The Real Thing | April 26, 2009 3:42 PM
Where is the love and compassion in the church that Jesus displayed? A baby is sometimes the evidence of the sin of fornication but it is not the sin itself and Jesus died for that little one as well. But how many sins are commited where there is no obvious evidence? Overeating - gluttony(lots of fat people in church), pride,gossip, lying, and etc. We have the nerve to condemn abortion but when the woman courageously decides to have the baby, we lash out in condemnation and hatred towards her. And we wonder why the world looks at us the way they do, as hypocrites. No we don't embrace the sin, but Jesus gave His own life for the sinner so who are we to turn them away, denying them of the grace, mercy and love of God!
Posted by: Lori | April 27, 2009 2:23 PM
The people that have posted since I posted are so honest. I think that Ms. Stevens should read the bible and go to church and become free of sin before she bad mouths anyone. I have read so many comments on so many different sites about Jen's possible blessing, and I have said the same things on all of them. Jen is grown, engaged, and blessed. Maybe she is having a kid out of wedlock, but is that really the worst sin that can be commited. And I know for a fact that NO ONE who has EVER posted on this site {or actually ever blinked an eye} is not sin free, me included. The sad part about this whole thing is that NO ONE knows exactly how Jen is feeling right now. If she is pregnat, maybe she does feel horrible about it. Maybe she feels p-ed of because these bits of news are coming through the rumor mill. I just really wish that people would stop looking at what everyone else is doing and start keeping a closer eye on themselves. I know for a fact that I have sinned, and I will not ever turn my nose up at anyone else because I will NEVER be berfect. The best that I can do is watch what I do, what I say, who I choose to like and love, and try and do God's perfect and acceptable will for my life. Last night I was in BIBLE STUDY and my pastor said something about strong christains dont talk about one another behind their backs and they dont condem others for what they do, but help their brother or sister through the trials and tribulations. We may not be at the advantage of personally helping Jen through this, but prayer is the best power in our hands. Keep Jen lifted up in prayer and dont bad mouth her. People who get at someone like that should honestly look into themselves and figure out why it is that they feel the need to display a "holier-than-thou" attitude. God dont like ugly, just remember that. May God bless and keep you all!

If Jennifer is pregnant before marriage that is between she and God...my plea is to other young girls and women in the Body of Christ...the Word of God is to be your guideline NO celebrity I don't care how many accolades the world gives them.....Gods word means what it says about sex before marriage..and it designed it this way because of His love for you and what's best for you.Do not follow the worlds way...it is not the best way.
Jennifer made her choice,life is choice driven....He still loves her and he forgives but because someone else does something that is not the kind of grace the Lord calls her too.
I wish she and her intended the best and I pray a healthy child.
Young ladys what a JOY to meet a man who would not put that kind of pressure on you...that is a REAL Man of God...hold out if you can they are out there...God Bless you Jennifer.
THIS IS TO THE YOUNG LADIES!!!!
LET GOD BE TRUE AND EVERY MAN A LIAR!!!!!

You know, Christians are often accused of "judging" whenever they speak out against a sinful activity. However, that is not the meaning of the Scripture verses that state, "Do not judge." There is a righteous kind of judgment we are supposed to exercise—with careful discernment (John 7:24). When Jesus told us not to judge (Matthew 7:1), He was telling us not to judge hypocritically.
In Matthew 7:2-5, Jesus warns against judging someone else for his sin when you yourself are sinning even worse. That is the kind of judging Jesus commanded us not to do. If a believer sees another believer sinning, it is his Christian duty to lovingly and respectfully confront the person with his sin (Matthew 18:15-17). This is not judging, but rather pointing out the truth in hope—and with the ultimate goal—of bringing repentance in the other person (James 5:20) and restoration to the fellowship. We are to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15). We are to proclaim what God's Word says about sin. 2 Timothy 4:2 instructs us, "Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage — with great patience and careful instruction." We are to "judge" sin, but always with the goal of presenting the solution for sin and its consequences—the Lord Jesus Christ (John 14:6).
Of course anyone can rise again after a fall, and ask God forgiveness. However lets be clear, GOD DOES NOT waver, show favoritism, or condone SIN period! Whether you lie, cheat on your taxes, racist, or bed hop. It’s all sin!
Are we to be modern day Pharisees and beat folks down because their faults? NO
But we are not to be LUKE WARM either!
So with Jennifer Hudson, the sin was in the sex, Not what is growing on the inside of Jennifer Hudson (which is the child). We are suppose to Love Jennifer Hudson, But Love also corrects.
No one is celebrating the sin ( sex before marriage), or any other sin, BUT WE ARE celebrating the new life ( the child), her desire to still get married, her sincere repentance to God, and her New life with her soon to be husband and newborn. Grace forgives, grace heals, and grace also gives us a second chance.

If Essence reported it, then it must be true and all we can do is watch the stomach rise.. As a psychologist, I can tell you that when there is a sadness from death and loss, sex is usually the chosen medication and therapy.
After what recently happen to her loved ones, I am not surprised if she decided to started a family of her own. What's done is done and it's really no body's business but Jennifer. My only concern is that she is going on tour and that will not be good for the baby. I wish her well,,,,what's done is done.
Posted by: joyce | May 3, 2009 1:19 AM
a few of these women who are spewing their attitudes to others who are standing up for godliness, or suggesting we need to ignore sin, or have the audacity to say well everyone is doing it, so what" either does not have a bible or a personal relationship with God, or fail to read HIS word or a have twisted view of what judging is. Because its CLEAR AS DAY in the bible, if you are a believer of Jesus and from what Jennifer stated she IS.
No doubt Jennifer is an adult and the choices she makes she will be held accountable for those decisions, like all of us will. SO I am cool with that!
But that's NOT the problem, MY problem is when Jennifer says publically time and time again, " I represent the body of Christ and faith", I want to be a role model for young christian girls at church services and concerts",
THEN THATS when I am obligated as a Christian first then as Mother of 5 and now a christian wife to speak up and out! I call a spade a spade! As Christians our actions, our lives, and behavior in the world should be of clear difference, and we must have an effective influence.
Honey, I had my first child before marriage, and boy did I pay for it. Even though God forgave me, I still suffered the consequences for my sin. But thank God for grace and mercy! Just because I did this, does not make it right for me or my husband to teach our 3 daughters or even our two sons, Oh who am I to judge, Go ahead, god won't mind." are we crazy? or luke warm?
I use my life mistakes to teach my children The GOD given truth!
you are not a science lab, they don't have to test nothing! there is so much reward in WAITING! NO wedding, No bedding! If they can't understand that, tell them to get to steppin!
When My daughter says, Mom Jennifer is a christian and she still has sex, then that means God says its okay".
I had to have a serious talk with my 10 year old daughter. furthermore I GOT a serious problem IF Jenifer is sending these mix messages to people.
I love Jennifer Hudson, but boo wrong is wrong.
Now I do celebrate her up coming marriage, and child. But for as SIN, call it what you want, I AINT doing it! I rather be right in God, than a enemy toward him.
we need to start teaching our babies, right from wrong GOD's way, not BET or MTV's way!

Leave that woman alone.We are not to judge but how quickly do we? Whatever goes on some people will always find something to pick about.She is making a living for her self,she has a working man,just because they are noy already married don't mean squat.Divorce is a sin also but why stay there screaming and fighting in front of the kids?Holly rollers do what you do and leave the rest up to God before you be on your way below for judging.Much love Jennifer and Punk,have twenty if you please.Love your life.

Jennifer, you continue to stay blessed I am so happy if you are going to have a child. who are people to question Gods plans for our walk with him. a baby can't replace the family you lost, but God has a way of giving us what we need just when we need it. I know you'll make a great mom. Don't let the hater's block your happiness or your blessings
Posted by: denise | May 3, 2009 12:12 PM
Why do people seem to consistentaly use the word as their back up to the fact that sin is sin. Yes, this is very true. But at the same time no one seems to be using the word as the fact that a true Christiand only has love and support for her/his brother or sister. This situation is not excluded from the will and word of Christ. I know that having sex out of wedlock is a sin, but what sins have you committed in the last 24 hours. If you have cursed, lied, stolen, thought about commiting adultrey, and many other things that are of the enemy, then you have sinned. The bible states many times that Christians should be trying to live for the Lord Almighty, so why all of the hate? I strongly believe in living by the word, so yes Jen's having sex before marriage is a sin. No doubt, but what is the hatin considered? A great thing in the eyes of our Father? No! Jennifer has been through so much and she doesnt need judgemental people on her heels. I love Jennifer Hudson and she has an amazing voice. She just lost so much, so what is she to do? God has a will and a way, and this may be Jen's customized blessing. May God bless and keep you all!!!

Is she CRRAAZY? he kissed newyork!! eeewwww!! he is the trashiest guy ever!! the other bald guy, I forget his name, is doing porn movies now. I am so ashamed for her. not that she is having a baby before marriage, but who she is having it with. I have even lost respect for harvard!! how did that ass get into harvard I do not know!!did she have to stoop soooo low??!!
Posted by: tyrone | May 8, 2009 9:04 PM
Why do U feel da need to be hatin on Jennifer and her man? And if you were a man and had the chance to have some fame from a reality show like ilovenewyork, you and me both know you would. Jennifer made her choice out of love, and that is her decision. And sometimes U can't help who you love. It just happens and you have to accept that. No one is perfect, so what he kissed Tiffany Pollard, move on with life. It happened so long ago. I personally say congrats either way to Jennifer and her new found happiness. She is an amazing woman and deserves true happiness and love, which is what David is giving her. Stop spending so much time in the magazines and spend 3/4 of that in the word. God don't like ugly, so stop being so ugly. May God bless and keep you all!

I understand that God word is true. But we are all acting as if we never had to ask God to forgive us for anything. This is the reason why I am glad God is not like man. We have all fell short and I am sure when we fell short the last thing we wanted to hear or see is another person judging us about the wrong we have done. Sometimes we just need a uplifting word and remember Jennifer serves the same God that forgave the ones that are judging when they fell short.

shall i say the main JUDGE,aint nobody going to have nuthin to say,eerrbody just gonna be worried about thier OWN SINS,I STILL LOVE YA JENN,GOD BLESS YOU GURLIE

HIV lasts forever, herpes lasts forever!!
The choices that we make in life sometimes lives with us and one can never escape from it. It is not that something happened a longtime ago and one moves on. How many beautiful sisters and brothers in the area of DC alone are HIV positive...and their lives are over. It is not about judging one another but living GOD's word. If u see someone making a mistake or about to make one and u care about that person would u not tell that person to rethink before taking that step? As a christian I would. It is just that most of us go about our daily lives and live as hypocrites. Jesus preached GOD's word. He told us right from wrong. The ten commandments are our pillarstone. If one thinks that going on a reality show like I love newyork to get famous and rich there is a lot to be learned in life. I think a life time of STDs and an empty shell of a life is what is waiting down the line. Try watching T.D.Jakes for a change. Pick up the bible before going to bed and reading just a few lines, ask GOD to come into your life and make that change. I love people who stand up for what they believe in. Oprah started that school in south africa and she got a lot of critism. people were coming up with "charity begins at home" etc. She asked kids here what they wanted- Ipods, laptops, etc were the answers. All that kids in africa ever wanted was an education. see the difference? I can see the church's frustration with hypocrites like jennifer. If u call youself a christian set an example. she is rich enough. it is not a financial issue in getting married.people make mistakes in dire circumstances. jennifer has no excuse. she should have announced her engagement set a date and had a church wedding before getting pregnant.That was something so very important that jennifer should have done. kids look up to her. that is my frustration. Obama and Michelle are the perfect example of a solid devout hardworking christian family with morals and values that everyone can be proud of. There are a lot of hardworking devout christians out there but are never brought to light. Instead we have tiffany pollard in the limelite making a mockery of values and principles that is so lacking in today's society.

Why does Jen have to do with STD's, HIV, and herpes? No one has said that Jen has any fatal disease. A child is a blessing and you really need to think B4 U speak? And what exactly makes you so much better than my girl in da sin department? Nothin what so freakin ever. I don't like to talk like this in my comments because I dont know if the person I am talking to is older than me or not, but Tyrone, U need to get off ur high horse, no matter how old u are. This is just gettin ridiculous. How would u like it if A BLESSING AS WONDERFUL AS A CHILD was being talked down upon in your presence? Ecspecially if it was ur'z? You are no better than ANYONE who walks the earth that the Lord Almighty has so generously blessed us with. I love Christ, I love me, I love my mother who wasnt and my father of the like, I love the people who have taken the place of those who didn't love me more than the works of the enemy and I love Jen and everyone else who is bold enough to proclaim their faith in Christ infront of millions of people. You need to get a life and get in the word! May God bless and keep you always. And good luck to Jen and anyone else who is being held under a microscope 24/7. May all those who feel like they can't make it, like I am sure did when her family was yanked away, keep strong in your faith. I am in the system and I didn't think I would make it many times B4 in my life. The most recent bein day B4 yesterday. But I have stayed strong in my walk with Christ and am being blessed with a wonderful foster mama who loves me with all my baggage and flaws. This is a woman who is honestly tryin to live for Christ. She just lost her husband because he was triflin and cheatin on her, and yet she is still tryin to care for someone other than herself. Make that mulitple someone's. You are no freakin better than anyone, and you have no more trials and tribulations than anyone. There is no excuse for you, who I am assuming is a member of the body of Christ, should even be judgin someone. There is this poem called "When I Say I am A Christian" and it is so on point and one that I think every Christian should at least read once. There is no excuse that teenagers know the bible better than you do unless you put on a front in the church and then want to act triflin every day of the week except 4 Sundays. I am honestly saddened for my girl Jen because she probably doesnt know that so many people talk like this about her. I love Jen even though I haven't been blessed enough to go to a concert of hers or any thing like that. She needs support by all those in the body of Christ and the way that we do this is through prayer. I pray for so many people that have failed me, have failed themselves, that have been through a major loss, and even people that I don't know. I will pray for Tyrone and pray that the Lord will help U to see u for a sinner just as much as anyone else. Those of you who agree, please do me a favor and pray for the person who has been the random one to post the thing about HIV, STD, and herpes. And anyone else who has talked down on anyone for a sin because we will never be perfect until we are right there in Heaven with or reigning King. Please be sure to include "please forgive them for they know not what they do". Thank you so much and may the Lord Almighty bless and keep you all forever more. God bless!!!
Posted by: CeCe- yes again!!! | May 15, 2009 9:06 PM
Now I understand what you are trying to say, and I agree on a part here or there. I was complelety thinking the same thing about the fame involved with ilovenewyork and all, but if David was infected with anything, it would have been in the polaroids so quickly and we all know it. Tiffany is not walking in Christ and we all know this, but we are not dealing with her. We are talking about Jen's blessings in David. There is no reason what-so-ever for anyone to be bad mouthing Jennifer and David and there walk with one another and their individual walks with the Lord Almighty. And now that I am thinking about it, how in da world do you get a disease from kissing. The only one that makes since is herpes. And you have to swallow at least (like) 21 gallons of someones saliva to get a disease. I may be only 14, but I do pay attention in sex education class. I am not tryin to be nasty or funny, but the only way to get a disease like this from "kissing" is if you are kissing anything but the mouth AND you must have an open sore or cut in order to make this possible. Like I said, I am not tryin to be dirty or funny, but it is the truth 100% all the way. I am glad that I have been blessed with someone to teach me these things because I know what I am talking about when I am tryin to defend someone to another someone who feels the need to act like they know everything. Unless David actually had sexual intercorse with Tiffany(which not one of us will honestly EVER know the 100% truth on this) the chance of him bein infected is slim to none. And nothing against our President and First Lady, but I am sure that they would be the first to tell you that they have sinned and that they are not the perfect Christains. And I am sure that T.D. Jakes would tell you that, too. There is no point to bring other members of the body of Christ to put someone else down. I live in a grouphome with 6 girls my age in one house and still have the common knowledge that no matter what a Christain says or does, he or she is not perfect. No matter what you see or hear, it is the truth. Get over yourself Tyrone. May God bless and keep you always
Posted by: CeCe- my bad I didnt completley understand Tyrone's post!!! But my opinion still holds... | May 15, 2009 9:23 PM
I am so with CeCe on this one. I mean everyone makes mistakes, even the strongest Christian. I know that I have back slid and done many things that the Lord has not favored. But the Lord is still right by my side. He doesn't use my sins against me. I have learned from the things that I used to do. I am only 15 years old, and have been an alcoholic and a drug addict. I have been clean for 2 years, but I am strong enough to accept the old me and make a new me. May God bless and keep you always.

After what Jennifer Hudson has had to endure, there's no way I'm going to throw her under the bus while I stand on my moral soapbox. Only Jesus (and her sister Julia) truly know what she has been going through.
Didn't Jesus say to let he who is without sin cast the first stone?
I will pray for her, rather than run my judgemental mouth.

Less just clear somethings up before we move on. Jennifer Hudson is not the first person to become pregnant in life before marriage and won't be the last. Honestly,Jennifer and David was suppose to get married in Feb of last year, but a tragedy happen in her family which turned everything upside down. Marriage was already a major part of their plans. Everthing in life does not always goes according to plans. I am willing to bet over 80% of the people making bad comments about Jennifer was born out of wedlock, and the daddy still ant around. Stop trying to still her shine, because she fell in love with a wonderful man and now they are with child. David is the right man for Jennifer. He makes her happy and keeps her smiling. A matter of fact she said that she has never been more happy in her life. The hell with that trashy show he was on. Yes, he did kiss New York that was part of playing a role back in the past. Now, this is real love and they don't care if you do not like it. The couple is head over hills in love. Jennifer is a smart young lady and I trust her judgement of character. David is also a very smart man. I don't care how you look at it. Jennifer Hudson is still a role model for young ladies. We were taught growing up that your parents are suppose to be your role models. We all know alot of parents ant even worth being a parent,never the less a role model for their kids are anybody elsa for that matter. The things Jennifer Hudson have accomplished was not given to her. She worked her way up the ladder and earned her title. This young lady has been through a lot personal and professional in her young life and is still trying to cope. Essence you did a dirty under handed deed with Jennifer and things will soon come to a head. Taking someone personal life trying to exploit for your own gain is offer and low. Jennifer being a star. They even want to keep somethings to themselves. Jennifer Hudson finished school. She is not a high school drop out, and She is not an underage child. Jennifer Hudson is twenty seven years old, and she is not needing a hand out. Jennifer and David make their own decisions about their lives. They have to live with it weather it be good are bad it is all about life livings. We all make choices in life about how we want to live. It is a shame how you can just label someone without looking at your own messed up life. Jhud is going to be just fine. Stay in tune for her secound round. There are more history in the making to come for Jennifer Hudson and International Icon.

Cece and goofy may GOD love, bless, and keep u both safe now and forever. U are like my little brother or sister. I am not perfect, infact far from it.I am a sinner. GOD's standards are so high that it is hard on a day to day basis to reach it. But HIS love is even greater!! So I pick myself up and start over. Without GOD's love and blessing I would never be where I am today. regarding the hiv,std,herpes comment, I was comparing mistakes that one makes that u can never change once its done. just an analogy.once u get pregnant outside of marriage there is no going back. that is what I meant. Having a baby is the greatest blessing and gift a husband and wife can receive from GOD. also regarding getting infected with HIV one can with kissing if u have a cut or a sore. research has confirmed the presence of HIV in body secretions. compared to HIV, herpes is the least of problems. ok lets forget about jennifer and lets focus on u and goofy. what do u want to be when u grow up? have u sat down thought about it, prayed over it? u can be and do what ever u want if u put your heart and soul into it. focus on your studies and school. Keep GOD number 1 in your life. pray for strength and guidance everytime u feel down. U may feel that u still have time, but trust me, time flies by and before u know it -too late.
Nobody knows u better than yourself and GOD. Remember one thing I am going to tell u-NEVER GIVE UP!!
no matter what. today might be the worst day of your life, but there is always tomorrow for hope! look at goofy and how GOD and faith raised him from destruction with alcoholism.
I found this information about HIV in DC alone. "The study found that the number of HIV and AIDS cases jumped 22% from the 12,428 reported in 2006. Almost 1 in 10 residents between 40 and 49 are living with the virus, and black men had the highest infection rate at almost 7%, the report said. It added that 3% of black women in D.C. have HIV." Is this not scary?
May GOD's choicest blessings and love keep u always protected now and always...
focus on GOD, your life and your future...

I thank you Tyrone for the support in life in all, and yes... I have thought about what I want to be. In answer to your question, I want to be a major lawyer. I am in 9th grade with a freshman IN COLLEGE reading, writing, and oral launguage arts and english level right now. I know that getting pregnanat before marriage is a sin, but the Lord who art in Heaven should be THE ONLY ONE to be casting judgement on any one of us in this life. I know that I am not perfect and I know that you, Tyrone, are not perfect, It is koo that goofy admitted that he or she has been through alcoholism and is better and blessed now, because that makes 2 of us. I think that I know just who goofy may be, as a matter of fact. I have to check my email, because we share one, if this is my cousin. I find it a little odd that 2 young girls- from the same family- have been trying to get people to realize that it is no one but CHIRST's job to cast judgement on Jennifer. I am not just saying this because Jen is my idol or because I like her music. I am back time and time again on this site becuase I love Jennifer as a sister in Christ. Like Nonna said, Jennifer is 27y years old and has got a highschool education... she is not some senior in high school without a baby daddy. I am not condeming anyone, but Nonna also made a good point. I am one of those kids who was born out of wed-lock and my daddy is not around. Jennifer doesn't have to worry about not having this "baby's" daddy around because he held it down when there was no one to hold it down for her. He stuck with ther during one of the hardest times of her life, so what makes anyone think that he won't be there for her and their children. They were set to get married in Feb, but because of what that sick person did... they wern't given that. Thanks, thanks, thanks Tyrone, and thank you for explaining abour the HIV, STD, and herpes comment. But the one thing that I am confused on is the HIV and kissing thing. I know for a fact that unless you have an open sore or cut in your mouth or you drink like 28 gallons of someones spit to catch one from kissing. I am not trying to turn this into an argument, I am just wondering exactly how much I paid attention in sex ed or if it has changed at all. I am looking on www.caresclinic.org right now to see if I am right or not. I think that I am. Idk though. I just know that with Jennifer Hudson being condemed by so many is not going to help her in ANY way shape or form. Ecspecially if she knows that some of the memebers of the body of Christ are concerned enough to look her up and then condem her. And just so the world knows... JENNIFER HUDSON IS NOT EXPECTING. I said in the beginning when I first got hooked onto this site that I highly doubted that she was. She has always been a curvy woman and that little bump that we say was just beauty. She is not with child, so for someone to be all up on here judging her without knowing all the facts is just dumb. Not like your stupid or anything, I just htink that the choice to make it seem like you were better than her was a little dumb. I really think that you have some good points, but Idk some of what your saying. Maybe Tyrone should hit me up on twitter or something. My username is Mamazgurl1123. Easy to remember. I feel kiond of bad for making this whole article into a little back and forth type of a thing now. I just know that Jennifer is someone that I look up to and I think that she needs to know that not all people out there think that she is a bad person. I have heard some of my closest friends say that they think that she is a little bit odd for coming back onto the scene 6 short months afterwards, but I personally think that it just simply means that she is strong enough to wether the storm and that she did what she had to do for the time that she was gone and now she is picking up the pieces of her life like her fam would want her to do. Tyrone, if you don't have a twitter account, make one and hit me up. And to the owner/author of gospelrama, I love your blog. I am on here at least once a week to see what is going on. I think that you have some awesome view points and what not. That is a true blessing to get someome hooked from the first view and have it to where the be telling all they friends about the sight. I am pretty sure that Goofy is my cousin and I am pretty sure that I mentioned this site at least a dozen times. Thanks for giving me something to do instead of be bored and sit around watching TV all day. LOL! May God bless and keep you always, may he make his face to shine upon you and give you his peace, and may you ALWAYS love Jesus Chirst more than ANYTHING. God bless you all!

I wasn't going to day anything and my comment is not about Jennifer.....but....Dear SWEET T who commented on April 23rd,,,,laying around in hotels doing WHAT???? WHOA!!!!!!....what an interesting choice of words for a Christian....come up honey...come up...and please stay in or go back to school! Maybe you should have a little talk with Jesus about your choice of words! Peace and blessings, dear!

I am happy for Jennifer if she is execting that nobody buiness but her she humous like us only God is to judge her. Good luck Jennifer and God will bless you. Do your thang girl you still got it going on you will make a good mother.
Posted by: Natosha | May 30, 2009 10:27 AM
I know that we can not judge Jennifer. This is between her and the Lord. We may not celebrate this Christian style, but babys are a blessing from God. Births are to be celebrated not talked down as being something bad.
Posted by: Lucy | June 2, 2009 12:46 PM
It has been confirmed. Jennifer Hudson is 7 months along. She just had a baby shower. I am so happy that this has been dealt with. It is a blessing to have a child and it is a wonderful thing that she has the means to take care of this child and provide for this child. I pray that she will have a beautiful and healthy baby and that everything is okay with her and her baby after the birth. May God bless and keep you all forever more!
