Jennifer Hudson: I Won’t Do "Playboy"

J-Hud says Beyoncé and Rihanna can have that.

After losing over 80lbs on her Weight Watchers diet, Jennifer Hudson expressed her new found love for her size six, telling InStyle magazine, “I have a serious shopping problem now. It got to a point where I could barely get in my bedroom,” referring to the massive clothes piling up in her house. She even says that her new bod is responsible for some changes she’s noticed in her powerful vocal chords. Hudson tells British Daybreak, "When I was in high school, I could do (sing) the whole piano. Now that I've lost weight my voice is getting back to that same state."

She also recently came under fire for some questionable comments she made concerning singers Beyoncé and Rihanna. While explaining that she wasn’t interested in posing for Playboy, she mentioned the two superstars in a way that was totally misconstrued. "I love my new figure. All the fabulous clothes I can wear and get sent, I joke that I'm like a walking billboard now," she told The Daily Mirror. “But I won't be taking my clothes off – no way at all. Beyoncé and Rihanna can have that. I like to cover up more. I won't do Playboy. That's just not me."

Hudson was later prodded via Twitter to further explain her comments, where she told fans they simply misunderstood her. "I think yal know me better than that. I love both Beyonce n Rihanna. I hate when people try to be messy . B n Ri know me better than that 2″.
