Jennifer Hudson went back to where it ALL started!

The Oscar AND Grammy winner graced the American Idol stage for the finale on Thursday night with the newly crowned Candice Glover.

The former Idol and latest AI winner performed an INCREDIBLE duet of Inseparable.

Being the humble star that she is, Jennifer threw Candice the spotlight and told her to "sing it" at the song's end.

And the hopeful DEFINITELY held her own.

The fact that Candice wasn't outshined by Jennifer's powerhouse vocals only proves that gurlfriend is a true DIVA in the making.

Ch-ch-check out the performance that earned a standing ovation from the judges (above)!!!

Werk it out guuurl!!

Jennifer Hudson has lost an astonishing 80 pounds ever since joining Weight Watchers back in 2010, and because she's as slim as can be, the weight loss program gifted her the Weight Watchers Leader of the Year Award.

While posting the pics (above), the I Am Changing songstress wrote:

Close call!

Last night, the 2013 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, held in El Lay, inducted the likes of Donna Summer, Quincy Jones, Randy Newman, Rush, Albert King, Public Enemy, Heart and Lou Adler!

And while there was a myriad of star-studded guest speakers and performers for the special occasion, including Oprah Winfrey, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters, and John Mayer, one expected performer was NOTICEABLY missing in action:

Christina Aguilera!

The diva, who was expected to join Hudson by posthumously honoring Summers' magnificent career with a performance of Bad Girls and Last Dance, reportedly canceled at the last minute. And her absence is now being said to have been due to

When Jennifer Hudson was asked to sing at the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony, she took it very seriously, and even got into character!

The singer performed a killer Donna Summer medley of Bad Girls and Last Dance wearing a very divalicious nude beaded one shoulder Pamella Roland jumpsuit.

We love to love you JHud, but we can't say the same about this look. The jumpsuit was too tight and those Spanx were not doing their job. In fact, you could see the cut of the shapewear right through the fabric!

As unflattering as it may be, we'll still give you a 'D' for trying to look like a disco queen.

Thoughts???

Jennifer Hudson was feeling ambitious last night!

The Smash star attended Lifetime's Call Me Crazy: A Five Film premiere in West Hollywood on Tuesday, giving us some nice leg and cleavage action.

Unfortunately, her Emanuel Ungaro dress featuring a leopard print top and polka-dot skirt clashed like the Xerxes and Leonidas at the Battle of Thermopylae.

We're not saying these prints can never work together (Dolce & Gabbana mixed them successfully in their A/W 2010 show), but they weren't working on this particular occasion.

It wasn't all bad though — JHud's smokey eyes, shiny locks, and Saint Laurent pumps were all winners!

While there might not be a lot of buzz around Jennifer Aniston and the products she endorses, people seem to still REALLY love her!

According to the Brand Passion Index, Jennifer ranked the highest in consumer love out of the 7 celebrities that were monitored. The others included: Beyonce, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Hudson, Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Simpson, and William Shatner!

Seriously, Jennifer only generated around 2% of the buzz, but it was mostly positive! Her ex-hubby? Well… the news isn't so hot for him!

Brad got a lot of ridicule for his short-lived stint as Chanel No. 5’s celebrity, and had the second highest share of buzz with 32% of the overall chatter. The bad part is that he had the second lowest Net Sentiment score (-7) and a Passion Intensity of 44.

But who was the most disliked celebrity endorser??

We're shocked! It was JENNIFER HUDSON! She generated the lowest Net Sentiment score (-12) as well as the lowest Passion Intensity score (16) — people just feel smothered by how many Weight Watchers commercials there are, and are tired of it! Ouch!

Oh, and if you're wondering, Beyonce had the highest buzz! She just had middle-of-the-road love, though!

Sorry, JHud!

We all know Miley Cyrus likes partyin' in the USA, but this weekend she traded in noddin' her head like 'yeah!' for a double dose of hip hop booty poppin'.
