Celebrity Feuds
Beyonce: I Wish I Was as Big as Jennifer Hudson

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 HudsonDuring 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.

31. Beyonce has no voice, I mean she's no Aretha, Chaka or Whitney even and my girl Jennifer can hang with all three. Put Ms. B to shame! That's why she talking about her weight, because she has nothing else to say!

32. Beyonce is so overrated. Her voice is screachy and pierces my eardrums. SHe's got a fat ass, which wouldn't be a bad thing, except she thinks she's the sh*t, so I'm gonna count that against her. hey Beyotch, you've got the 20 lbs, they're on your ass. I thinks it's formed it's own country. Jennifer can sing circles around you. She just seems like a better, more talented, and more deserving person than you. I can't wait for Oscar noms, and your beyotch self isn't on the list. The only thing that made you famous was your psycho dad. Ya gotta love parents who pimp out their kids for the money.

33. Beyonce has no charisma, can't act, and has no personality. She is very scripted in what she says, shes careful and protected and that what makes her boring because she doesn't have much to say.

34. When I saw and heard Jennifer Hudson perform "New York State of Mind" on American Idol, I knew she had a bright future. She blew the song out of the water and I am excited to see her keep entertaining.

35. 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.

37. What a dumbass....Her weight is not the problem here..[she is heavy enough]..however, without a great voice there is no way she would ever get the part...the producers are not stupid...

Plus...Grammys are overrated....there is a history of gret music going unrecognized...as well as some crappy sh*t like hers that get all the accolades....good thing is we are able to hear and discern a crappy singer when we hear one

38. Hmmm? Sounds like La Beyonce doesn't like the spotlight and the rave reviews Jennifer is getting.

39. It was probably easy for Jenn to put on all that weight. She was a fatass to begin with.

40. lol @ you dumb f***s thinking this will get nominated for oscars. it was made by sh*tty mgm studios, and the academy doesn't like n***** anyway. evidenced by the lack of applause when those monkeys three six mafia or w/e sang that stupid f***ing song.

41. I have seen Beyonce interviewed many times and this does not sound like her at all. I can't help but wonder if this isn't something made up or misquoted. It just does NOT sound like her at all. She is one of the sweetest, most humble celebrities I have ever seen.

42. All ya'll some hating bitches! Beyonce is DA BOMB. Her ass and hips iz fat cause she is a black woman!!!!! She went out of her way so she could play her dream role in Dreamgirls. So now I hope her ass get fat again so she can be the bomb and blow up all over u bitches AGAIN. BITCHES

43. Beyonce can sing, I give her props and all of you know that! Then again her comment was uncalled for, she didnt get the part because Jennifer has a bigger voice not just body!!!

Beyonce is so full of herself she needs to remember where she started and how hard it was, Jennifer was not a c**t in American Idol for the idiot that said that, Simon was the c**t that didnt want her to win for not having the looks, if she was a c**t she wouldnt have overrated Beyonce in this role!

44. Such hateful comments. Beyonce has a beautiful voice and has sang acapella to prove it many times. Jennifer Hudson has a beautiful voice as well. You people are being rude and hateful for no reason. Can you sing?
