We thought it was pretty soon after the first one, especially when she has big projects coming up!

Jennifer Hudson is denying the pregnancy rumors flying about yesterday as her rep issued an official statement:

"Contrary to what has been falsely reported, Jennifer Hudson is not pregnant. Jennifer leaves in April for South Africa where she will portray Winnie Mandela in the feature film, Winnie.

"It is a commitment she is excited about and takes very seriously. Jennifer is currently in the studio recording her second album and this is the only delivery she is looking forward to in 2010."

A new movie AND new album?!

She better not be preggers!

Sperminated again so soon? Is it true, J-Hud?

Star Magazine is saying "yes," as they are reporting Jennifer Hudson is pregnant with her second child only four months after giving birth to her first baby boy!

A close friend to Jennifer and her husband, David Otunga, says:

"Jennifer was in total shock when she found out she was having another baby. She had wanted some space between the kids' ages.(But) she and David love kids. It's another thing for them to celebrate during the holidays."

It's one hell of a Christmas present.

Congrats!

Seems to us like they should be changed!

Lady GaGa has sold over 1.5 million copies of her debut album The Fame, but is ineligible for the Best New Artist category at this year's Grammy Awards because of her nomination for Just Dance last year in the Best Dance Recording Category.

Last year, Jennifer Hudson shared a similar fate as she was snubbed from the Best New Artist category since she was previously nominated in the Outstanding Motion Picture Soundtrack Compilation category for Dreamgirls.

And now Grammy president Neil Portnow is addressing the controversy, stating:

"This particular issue in the Best New Artist category is on our radar and I would expect changes to address it in next year's voting."

Wow! Talk about causing mayjah changes in the industry!

The power of Gagaloo never ceases to amaze us!

Jennifer Hudson appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and showed off some adorable photos of her son David Otunga, Jr!

He's a cutie!

And J-Hud really wants to make David's first Christmas a special one. The singer reveals:

"I'm going to go crazy. He's very aware but he's so young and it's his first Christmas, so you have to go all-out. I kind of want to get him his own Santa Claus and just have like a toy store in the house, full of things."

How sweet!

Let's hope she doesn't spoil him too much though.

Hopefully Jennifer and her family have a very happy holiday!

We think someone is gunning for another Oscar!

It has just been announced that Jennifer Hudon will be appearing in the new biopic Winnie, which follows the life of the former wife of Nelson Mandela.

It's sure to be a rather heavy viewing and when asked about accepting the role, Jennifer replied:

“I was compelled and moved when I read the script. Winnie Mandela is a complex and extraordinary woman and I’m honored to be the actress asked to portray her. This is a powerful part of history that should be told.”

For those of you who don't know, Winnie Mandela was just as much a fighter against apartheid as Nelson is. She too was jailed for her campaigning, but it was her association with a man who murdered a 14-year old alleged informant that ultimately shattered her good name.

There, a history lesson for the day. Now, you can skip school if you want.

Do U think U will see this movie?

Jennifer Hudson is a busy gal with her music and film careers not to mention she's a new mom!

But the Academy Award-winning actress is now in talks to portray the lead role in a biopic about South African leader Winnie Mandela.

Derek Luke or Idris Elba may be tapped to play husband Nelson Mandela, but nothing is confirmed as of right now.

Winnie Mandela is a controversial political figure who has long since been divorced from Nelson Mandela and eventually found her way into some legal troubles and on the receiving end of some sharp criticism from her native South Africa.

Sounds intense!

Could it be another Oscar for J-Hud?!

He's SO cute!

Jennifer Hudson gave birth to lil' David in August and she is crazy about motherhood.

"I love being nurturing and caring because I love to see other people happy," said Jennifer. "Who better to devote my time to than my own child?"

And he's definitely a lively one!

"He has a lot of personality, like David," she continued. "His favorite time to smile now is diaper changes. Or when he spits up on you – he just cracks up like he thinks it’s the funniest thing. And his bottle is his pacifier. With a pacifier, it’s like he knows, ‘Ain’t nothing come out of here. No, I don’t want that. Where’s the real deal?’ His best friend is that bottle; that’s all he wants."

But, we bet he gets sung some killer lullabies!

We'd love to hear Jennifer Hudson put out a Christmas song that would become as timeless as Mariah's I'll Be Home For Christmas!

J-Hud is going to host a holiday music special shot in her hometown of Chicago called Jennifer Hudson: I’ll Be Home For Christmas. The one-hour special event on ABC will take viewers along with the Oscar winner as she “relives her childhood Christmases with musical performances shot on location at the small neighborhood church where she brought the congregation to its feet week after week; the music academy where she studied; and other Chicago sites."

No air date yet, but hopefully, it'll be later rather than soon. We are so not ready for it to be X-mas yet. It's still only October! But we are excited to hear what she is going to sing.

What would U like to hear her sing?

She sounds so happy!

After giving birth to David Daniel Otunga, Jr. back in August, proud mama Jennifer Hudson can't stop gushing about her baby boy!

"He's the cutest thing in the world! There are no words for it. He's the best. It's just amazing – us discovering each other, me becoming a mom."

Little David is also said to be very musical already, calming down when Jennifer plays music for him:

"The other night he was having a fit screaming, and someone turns on the music and he just stops and calms down. And I was exactly the same way as a baby. Sometimes when he cries, I try to harmonize!"

Hudson also opened up about her own mother, who she lost so tragically last year:

"I think she was a great example of being a mother, so when [my son] first got home, I was like, 'Everything I do will be out of love. That's what drives me in the middle of the night when I'm knocked out sleeping and he wakes up."

Now the family, including Jennifer's fiance David Otunga, is gearing up for the upcoming holidays including Halloween!

"I wish he was older so he could remember it, but this is the first one, so I have to go all out. It's going to be great."

Sounds like she's made a lovely family for herself and we truly couldn't be happier for Jennifer!
