Jennifer Hudson sure didn't let her mom-to-be belly stand in the way of a magnificent performance Tuesday at the Michael Jackson memorial. On a day to celebrate a legend's life, there should also be some celebration for the little bundle of joy being toted around by J-Hud.

We love the glow, hun! Just stunning. And we can't wait to meet the little tyke!

Congrats Jennifer! God has blessed you with a child. And touched you with that rousing performance!

Now that Jennifer Hudson's pregnancy is out in the open (courtesy of her big-mouthed friend), acquaintances are coming out in support of the American Idol alum's pregnancy!

Hudson's Dreamgirls co-star Anika Noni Rose thinks Jennifer will be a fantastic mom, of course.

Says Rose: "She will be a great, amazing and loving mom… Having seen her with babies myself, that baby of hers is going to have a good time and be much loved."

Aww!

Anika continued to gush: "She loves babies and now that she going to be a mother herself, this experience is going to be fun and rewarding for her. She will have no problems taking on the responsibilities."

As far as the tragedy that struck Hudson's personal life last year (the murder of her mother, brother and nephew), Rose has no doubt the new addition to J-Hud's family will heal the process.

"It's been a harrowing year for her and I hope that she finds comfort, joy and support and that she can move forward with her new baby," Rose shared.

As do we!

As has been whispered for a while now….

Jennifer Hudson is pregnant!

No freakin' way!

The American Idol alum has been dodging pregnancy rumors since April, but a baby shower never lies! Hudson's friends threw a soirée for their pregnant pal in downtown Chicago over the weekend.

J-Hud's friend Felicia Fields spilled the beans to reporters: "It was a baby shower, a quiet gathering of friends and mostly family… They're really trying to keep it kind of quiet."

Well, there goes keeping it quiet!

Fields revealed that the baby's sex is unknown and Hudson has yet to share a due date with her friends and family.

Hudson's currently engaged to the sperminator, David Otunga, more famously known as "Punk" from VH1's I Love New York 2.

Congratulations!

Last October, tragedy struck Jennifer Hudson when her mother, brother, and 7-year-old nephew were all brutally murdered by her brother-in-law. Now, she's beginning to to open up about the horrifically unimaginable real-life nightmare.

When asked about her mom and their relationship, Jennifer confesses in the new issue of Essence magazine that she was a "mama's baby" and found comfort in their bond: “I’d go and sleep in her bed until I was 15 years old."

Before the horrific crime, Jennifer's fiancee, David Otunga, received her mother's blessing for marrying her mother. He reveals that they don't talk about the incident, but that when so much is so uncertain, she can always count on her man.

Otunga says, "She doesn’t have to worry about losing me. I’m always going to be right here.”

Along with her supportive fiancee, she attributes her strength to her faith.

“The thing that keeps me going is knowing that God is in control,” says Hudson. “It’s like, if he placed me here then I must be prepared.”

We like Jennifer and we hope she keeps on staying as strong as she has been!

Poor J-Hud!

The singer's tour with Robin Thicke has been postponed for at least a week because Hudson has come down with a nasty throat "condition" due to over-exertion of her priceless vocal cords!

Jennifer was a real trooper at Saturday's concert in Los Angeles, though, hitting all of the high notes during her performance without the audience suspecting a thing!

Unfortunately, Hudson's shows in Oakland, Dallas, Houston, Phoenix and Biloxi have been postponed until further notice.

Get well soon, bb!

Even though the video we posted on Monday showed what we thought looked like a verrrrry pregnant Jennifer Hudson, her people are denying that the singer is preggers!

Said Hudson’s publicist Lisa Kasteler, "Jennifer is not pregnant."

Well, that was concise!

What do U think - Is she or isn't she???

P.S. Essence magazine is reporting that she IS!

Jennifer Hudson looks hella sperminated at a concert this past weekend.

That would be a blessing for the engaged singer, considering everything she's been through!

P.S. The clip above is LOLtastic, especially when she hands the mic off to the gay boy in the audience.

Jennifer Hudson surprised - in a big way! - concertgoers in Atlanta on Thursday night by bringing out the legendary Miz Jennifer Holliday to join on a duet of the Dreamgirls signature number, And I Am Telling You, a song Holliday originated on Broadway.

Diva. Diva. Amazingness.

Check it out (above)!

P.S. Watch Holliday DESTROY it around the 1:55 mark.

She beat it to a pulp, marinated in some nice chimichurri sauce, cooked it it for the crowd to eat ravenously!
