Smash's ship might be sinking fast, but no matter what night the show airs Bernadette Peters will ALWAYS be a star!
The Broadway legend will making a smashing return to the show on this week's The Parents.
This time Bernadette could be staying on the show for longer than one episode at a time after being offered a role in the fictional play, Bombshell.
Maybe she is the star power the TV show needs???!
Because Katharine McPhee, Anjelica Huston, Jennifer Hudson, and Debra Messing don't appear to be enough.
Regardless, we'll always welcome a performance from this bright-eyed bubbly icon!!!!
Ch-ch-check out the sneak peek (above)!
Jennifer Hudson lost 80 pounds on weight watchers, and it took WORK!
Just because she met her goal, though, doesn't mean she's abandoning the program. In fact, she's going to continue on her journey!
It isn't all about diet for Jennifer, though! One of her tricks to staying healthy is to keep moving — like walking everywhere, and taking the stairs, and shopping… all the good stuff you don't need a car for anyway! Plus, she DOES indulge once in a while, as depriving yourself is the best way for a craving to eventually win!
Her indulgence? Chocolate chip cookies!!
It's a lifestyle change, and it's helped her in other areas of her life! So fab!
Check out all she has to say about her journey AND her new album (above)!
Congrats, Jennifer!
We're still feeling the love from our party!!
As we've shown you in photos and video, our 35th Birthday Pajama Party was the sweetest one yet — filled with all our best friends and most loving family.
Grateful really doesn't even begin to explain it.
Ch-ch-check out the super thoughtful video that was presented to us, featuring celebs like Elton John and Carly Rae Jepsen wishing us a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY (above)!!!
We want to extend a very big thank you to all of them, including Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Rowland, Taylor Swift, Florence Welch, The Saturdays, Usher, Kerli, Fantasia, Darren Criss, Matisyahu, Kacey Musgraves, Jewel, Kristin Chenoweth, and all the others who took the time out of their busy shedzules to send us good vibes on our 35th!
You made our night so very bright! THANK YOU!!

Gorge!
Jennifer Hudson was more than dressed for the occasion on Monday at Weight Watchers' 50th anniversary in New York City.
For the golden celebration, the brand ambassador showed off her 80 pound weight loss in a black top, a tight gold Donna Karan pencil skirt and Christian Louboutin booties.
How inspiring!
It may not be easy, but hard work and living a healthy lifestyle really does pay off! Just ask JHud!

Showin' off that sizzle!
Jennifer Hudson easily pulled off a seksi and timeless look at the Amy Winehouse Foundation Inspiration Awards And Gala in NYC on Thursday night.
The singer appeared trim and polished in a bright white, belted halter dress with a plunging neckline and a pair of white snakeskin pumps.
She kept the finishing touches simple with a red lip and mermaid waves.
And though her teal mani seemed a bit of a strange choice, she still looked supremely glam!
Keep the amaze outfits coming, JHud!

Today is a GREAT day, everyone!
First off, it's looking like Lindsay Lohan might be getting the treatment and help that she needs, in the form of a 90-day lock-up rehab stint! Then, we get a new Game of Thrones season 3 trailer!
NOW: It looks like Jennifer Hudson is back in the studio, recording new music!
The only problem is that it's pretty cruel of her just to tease that she's recording something new without even telling us what — could it be new material for Smash?? Or is it the ultimate news: a new album????
Ah!!
We can only guess — and also mention that gurl goes to the studio looking pretty fab!!
Send us some samples, JHud!

Jennifer Hudson and her son David showed off their photogenic faces in some new photos posted by Jennifer Hudson herself!
Unsurprisingly - they're adorable!!!
Here's what she tweeted along with the pictures:
"I had the hottest date lastnight ! He was sooo cute ! Even took me out for ice cream"
You know what they say, ice-cream is the key to a woman's heart.
Or wait is that it?
Hey, wait a minute! Hudson's "hot date" was her cutie son!
She must've been just teasing us!
