Beyonce: I Wish I Was as Big as Jennifer Hudson

Posted Dec 5th 2006 2:38PM by TMZ Staff

Beyonce Knowles set out to clear up rumors of jealousy over the attention her "Dreamgirls" co-star Jennifer Hudson has been receiving. Her plan may have backfired.
Beyonce Knowles and Jennifer Hudson During a recent interview, a humble Beyoncé said she "knew that the character that I played wasn't the star ... I'm already a star. I already have nine Grammys. Everyone knows I can sing."

Beyoncé definitely belts out some beautiful melodies, but when she said, "I wish I could have gained 20 pounds and played Effie," we hear the flip side of her tune. Although most of Beyoncé's comments seemed a little backhanded, she did go on to give props to Hudson by saying, "She did incredible."

This interview, meant to defuse the rumored feud, could rekindle the diva dis.

1. "I wish I could have gained 20 pounds and played Effie,"

Beyonce is a Beyotch! that was just rude.

You know she's pissed that this sweet regular 'no-body' girl stole her thunder and Oscar dreams right underneath her.

3. And I wish she would ad to that " i wish I could sing as good as Hudson " .
beyonce is overated singer and on the same level as Jamie Foxx as an actor -- cheesy in anything beyond playing some who is a culture Hero . Dickhead . Beyonce , please do us a favor and marry that guy who left you in the car for an hour while he entertained the crowd and come to the realization that without the computers and the special effects you are just a big butt with an even bigger ego . Dickhead .

4. She is just another uneducated, it's-all-about -me diva.
If she was truly happy for the other girl he would give a straight up complimnetary answer.
She is a mean girl...the difference is that she is a star and when she spews the BS and hurtful comments we all hear it.
Go away.
And no matter how much weight you lose Beyonce, you stilll got your cankles....so...come on.

6. "I wished I could've gained 20 pounds and played Effie"....???

Honey, if that isn't an underhanded way of calling someone FAT, then I don't know what is! Beyonce is just totally jealous of Jennifer being the "star" of this new movie, and at best Beyonce may get critical acclaim (like she hasn't already from her singing career and other acting roles). Beyonce--let someone else have the lime light for once and quit acting like an UBER-DIVA

To me, Beyonce may have lost weight from her body, but she still has a fat head!

7. THAT WAS A TOTAL BACK HANDED "COMPLIMENT" WHAT A BIOTCH!

8. I wonder if this is karma for the way all the Destiny's Child girls must of been treated. There were always rumors of the first two that were kicket out LeToya and LaTavia were mistreated by B and her father...

If it is...Beyonce is now getting a taste of her own medicine...I have a friend that was lucky to see a screening of 'Dreamgirls' and like many others say...Beyonce and Jaimee played same characters they've played before but Miss Jennifer Hudson steals the movie and will be remembered for her role come awards time.

Ms. Hudson has arrived...she lost to Fantasia and is now stomping all over Beyonce's diva ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9. Jennifer Hudson was a c**t when she was on American Idol. Dreamgirls f***ing sucks.

10. I can't believe she would run around calling herself a star. Even Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt don't do that!!! She didn't clear up anything. She only settled the fact that she has become a huge diva. How in the world she got all those Grammys is beyond me.

11. I got a grammy bc I can sing better than ur stupid ass!

Posted at 3:25PM on Dec 5th 2006 by Beyonce

12. Maybe for Dream girls two instead of Hudson, they could get Nell Carter or Shirley Hemphill, to take her place.

14. Beyonce is a bitch!!! To bad she can't sing like Jennifer Hudson! Next time Jennifer see's Beyonce she should slap the sh*t out of her!

15. Jennifer said herself during an interview on EXTRA that she had to gain 20lbs for her role. Beyonce is simply saying she wishes she could have eaten what she wanted and done that too. She isn't trying to put anyone down and on her website the entire interview is posted which is full of praise for jennifer. the media is always trying to cause drama between strong black females. just like they did w/ Tyra and Naomi. It's getting old.
