Jennifer Hudson Cancels Photo Shoot
It looks like Jennifer Hudson isn’t going back to work next week after all. From US Magazine:
Jennifer Hudson has canceled the first video shoot scheduled since the October deaths of her mother, brother and nephew, a source tells Usmagazine.com.
The Oscar winner, 27, planned on shooting the clip for “If It Isn’t Love” in L.A. next week, her J Records rep confirmed to the Associated Press Dec. 9.
But “the video was set up before the tragedy and she felt like she should finish what she started, but she’s realized that she’s not ready to go back to work,” a source tells Us.
“It’s too early,” the source adds.
If it were me, I’d probably still be curled up in a fetal position. Come back when your ready, Jennifer.

For real, MJ. I couldn’t even function.
I still get cold chills when I think about what she’s been through. I don’t know if I’d ever recover emotionally if I had to go through the same thing.
Lord…every time I see her name anywhere I get a pang in my heart and chills on my arms. I pray she gets through this somehow.
Word, MJ, Jabkmc, and Niall. When this happened I took about 10 seconds to put myself in her shoes. I don’t have a sister, (a brother, though we are not close), but my mother has always been my best friend as well as the best mom ever. We are crazy close. And I have a 21-month old nephew who I love more than anything in this world. In those 10 seconds I took to think about how it would feel to lose both of them – together, in such a horrific way – I started shaking and getting choked up. It is absolutely unimaginable to me. I told my husband if anything like that ever happened to us, he could just put me in the ground along w/them, b/c there would be nothing left of me but an empty shell. 10 seconds was all I could handle of that; I cannot fathom living with that depth of pain and emptiness every day for the rest of your life. My continued prayers are w/her. She should be allowed to take as much time as she needs, however long that may be.
I really feel for Jennifer, too. I mean, there is something to be said for forcing yourself to be in the world — making the motions until you feel a little bit okay — but her experience was not only tragic, but very public. I’d want to hole up somewhere for a while and just let myself be messy in private.
This is completely understandable. I still get chills when I think about what happened. So, so sad. So, so tragic.
Her Thanksgiving must have been truly empty. Christmas will be worse.
I wish her all the best and really hope she takes her time in getting back out there.
I just opened a magazine yesterday to see Jennifer in a Gap print ad looking so happy. It brought tears to my eyes because obviously she posed for that long before the tragedy. I really do pray that she and her sister are able to lean on each other through the holidays somehow. Getting through Christmas will be challenging enough without having to worry about work or the rest of the world.
I’m glad she’s taking more time before trying to get back to work, and wait until at least after the holidays to attempt a return to the public eye. She’s got the Grammys coming up in February, which might be a good time to make a return to the stage. How emotional would that be, Jennifer winning a Grammy and standing on the stage acknowledging what would certainly be a standing ovation from her peers. I get teary just thinking about that moment.
I’m hoping she is going to be part of Obama’s inauguration as well. Haven’t read anything to confirm this, but there were rumors circulating at one point and she did sing at the convention.
The whole thing just breaks my heart. I hope she has some good people around her this holiday.
I agree with the thought. She shouldn’t be rushed into anything considering what she has been through.
A recent photo showed her without her engagement ring….wonder if she called that off too. So sad. She was so happy, so happy before the tragedy.
I’m praying for her. I sorta thought she would wait a while. Good decision. So hard to imagine what she’s going through.
Losing your mother at such a young age is heartbreaking, but such a horrific, violent death of three members of your family has got to be the worse pain ever. You could tell from the AI footage how close she was to her Mom.
That first year is brutal. That is, getting through the first holidays, her Mom’s birthday, Mother’s Day, etc. Jennifer needs time to heal and maybe seek spiritual or medical help in dealing with depression. Her life will never be the same; however, I hope life will be good to her along the way of recovery.
Also, if she does win a Grammy, perhaps a taped acceptance speech might be better than in person?
I did hear the wedding was called off but didn’t think it was a complete break-up. So sad…
I can’t imagine what she’s going through. It was practically her whole family destroyed.
I hope she’ll take as long as she needs. And it may be quite a while.
