Burger King to J-Hud: Free Burgers for Life!

Burger King has awarded Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson an all-you-can-eat pass for their fast food restaurants... for life! Have it your way... forever!
Jennifer Hudson
Hudson reacted to Simon Cowell's criticism of her for not thanking "American Idol" in her Oscar speech. She reportedly snapped back, "If I'd been any better at my job when I was at Burger King in my middle teens, I wouldn't be here either, so should I thank them, too?" Hudson worked at the BK on East 87th and State Street in Chicago. Burger King was her first job at age 16, where she worked with her sister, who claims she sang while working the drive-thru and flipping burgers.

In an exclusive statement to TMZ, Burger King responded to Hudson's beef, assuring her that no thanks is necessary, and awarded her with BK for life:

Heavy-Duty Idols"...In response to Jennifer's recent comments in which she asked if she should be thanking Burger King, we say thanks, but no thanks are necessary. Burger King Corporation is proud of Jennifer's success and while we never like to lose employees, in this case, our loss is the entertainment industry's gain ... To further show our support for Jennifer, and make sure she never has to sing for her supper again, Burger King Corporation is giving her a pre-paid BK Crown Card that will be automatically reloaded for life."

Looks like a whopper of a win for Jennifer.

61. Advice to you Jennifer, Please humble yourself and be very careful about what you say and who you say it too. They are setting you up in a trap.

63. i think burger king was giving hudson a card because black people are accustomed to paying for food with stamps. i'm sure "laughing" knows a bit about hog jawl and fat back for dinner. laughing talks about trailer parks and white trash but she's probably sitting at a public library using teh computer cause her electricity got cut off in her section 8 project. but hey i admire you "laughing" you have made tremendous strides from swinging in a tree to using instruments and now learning to type, bravo just like hudson

65. Of course Jennifer should have thanked BK, wasn't there that she packed on the 100 pounds that earned the once in a lifetime roll that she undeservedly won an Oscar for. She is such an ignorant cow, I hope her time in the spotlight is short lived. No wonder Beyonce stared daggers at her when she won. Lose weight and shut up Jennifer.

68. Jennifer owes Simon a comment and it's not "Thank You!"

Cowell is under the false impression that he really is a great judge of talent--He's Not! Far from it! All he has is a smart alec mouth and he's lucky he had friends in the English Idol Producer's otherwise he would have continued to be a nobody in the music industry.

Everytime Cowell comments on Jennifer she should replay his comments to her on idol that she would never amount to anything in the entertainment industry.

he needs to shut his mouth except to apologize to her for his crass comments.

70. Size12!!!???NOT. She's way in the plus sizes...try at least a 20-22. As long as the garment doesn't have a hood, if so it'd have to be custom. Her head could not be contained in an off the rack size, not ANY off the rack size.
Honestly I have nothing against plus size women, big can indeed be beautiful. What JH needs to learn is the old adage that beauty is skin deep but ugly goes all the way through, nothing is uglier than someone so full of themselves that they forget to be grateful. Idol's exposure is the reason for her success and she's so full of herself she doesn't get it.
