It Ain't Finger-Lickin' Good

Posted Mar 22nd 2007 6:05PM by Celly

TMZ has learned Jennifer Hudson was drop-kicked by Starbucks after her agent made some crazy demands over a performance -- but Jennifer could be the victim.

Sources say Hudson was slated to perform yesterday at the Starbucks annual shareholders meeting in Seattle. But then the demands started. Among them -- five town cars for herself, hair and makeup artists, security and her assistant. But wait, there's more. Humidifiers were part of the backstage demands.

But the final straw came when Hudson's William Morris agent notified Starbucks: Hudson would need baked CHICKEN WINGS at 10:00 AM.

AI typecasting: click to launchWe're told at that point, Starbucks Chairman Howard Schultz had enough and pulled the plug because he didn't like the way the agent was dealing with his people.

But we've learned Hudson -- who has taken heat recently -- had no idea that these demands were being made. We're told her agent put together a wish list on her own, and it was sent over to Starbucks with Hudson in the dark.

William Morris had no comment.

61. If this the only news that can be posted about J Hud. Thats pretty good, as long as she does not have to report to rehab in the morning, or her mug shot plastered on every web site because she was drunk driving, caught on a sex tape, or assulting someone.

65. J-Ho knew exactly what was going on. If one of the demands was some Slim Fast, Diet meal, or even a salad THEN I would believe it! But the bitch ~wanted her some chicken wings at 10:am!~

You won an Oscar and you can't even get some chicken wings! BURNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN LOL
Guess we aren't as great as we thought we were now are we!? =X

68. I just take all this crap with a "grain of salt". Jennifer has made it big, really fast, and there are tons of jealous people out there saying or doing anything to make her look bad. Give the girl a break -- if she really is this little "diva" people are saying she is, it'll come out for real sooner or later. I, for one, give her the benefit of the doubt and don't believe anything I read. Anytime I've seen J-Hud on anything, she's been extremely sweet and humble...this has all come so fast, and I'm sure she's just doing what she's told to do at this point. Hang in there, girl. I think you're great. LK

70. Jennifer needs to either get a new Agent or direct her current Agent not to make any demands without first putting the demands in writing and obtaining her (Jennifer's) approval. Agents, Managers, etc. sometimes get bigger heads than the artist(s) they represent. And when Agents/Managers make too many demands it makes the artist look greedy and self absorbed when that may or may not be the case. How dare any Agent speak on behalf of his/her Client without having prior authorization to do so? Even Lawyers consult with their Client(s) before speaking on their behalf.

71. It was a disgrace that she won the oscar. She was up against such pros. The oscars are a joke to me now. And there are a million girls who can sing better and look better than her. I don't care what she eats just make her go away.

72. I kind of feel sorry for her. Three months ago, the press was riding her coattail, now that she has won the Oscar; they want to bring her down. Plus the majority are upset because she is a new comer and stole Beyonce’s spotlight.

I think she needs to take some time off to take this all in, surround herself with good people who have what is best for her at heart and come back in about a year. I am sure this overnight stardom has been a bit over whelming.

74. Sounds to me like Jennifer Hudson is still using the guys from her home town to be her agents and managers. most singers request hot tea and honey for their voice....jeez.
Get someone that is a professional, JH or your career will be a one-trick pony.
And it has happened to others. You will not be the first to fade away.
