Jennifer Hudson Still Not Ready to Work

Posted Dec 13th 2008 11:00AM by TMZ Staff

Jennifer HudsonJennifer Hudson was scheduled to begin shooting the video for her next single, "If It Isn't Love" next week, but has put the brakes on going back to work.

Reports surfaced earlier this week that JHud had decided to return to work, because she had been on hiatus since the October killings of her mother, brother and nephew. A source tells Us Weekly, "The video was set up before the tragedy and she felt like she should finish what she started, but she's realized that she's not ready to go back to work."

A rep for Hudson, however, calls the original video plans speculation. Jennifer's brother-in-law William Balfour was officially charged with the murders December 2.

Now, now. Just because you roll in mud and eat out of a trough yourself is no reason to throw stones. You are clearly in denial. Shame the devil, tell the truth....the only reason you made that comment is because you are a fatty yourself and making that nasty comment made you feel better about yourself.

7. The cd has gone gold on its own without promotions. Perhaps she should let this cd go and release a new cd next Fall. This is way to much for her to handle right now. She will not be able to focus until that animal is in a cage where he belongs or getting the high voltage of electricity shot through his body like her sooo very much deserves.

8. No rush, she needs to nurture herself. She's had the foundation ripped from under her. It's gonna take time to be happy in her changed life, but it will happen. She'll marry, have children, grandchildren. So many good things to look forward to so "hang in there!"

10. Wow - no need to be so rude and racist. The poor girl lost her family - not exactly something you bounce back from. Find some compassion. Maybe you ought to look up compassion in the dictionary, since you obviously have no clue what it means.

Who are you to judge what she eats or what she weighs? I think she looks beautiful - and she's very talented. Besides, the body is just a container for the soul. No one IS their body. Who we are encompasses much more than that. Grow up. Hate is much uglier than obesity,

11. Fat...dumb...ugly..don't care. her whole family was butchered. I'll wait until justice is served..then I'll judge.

12. She has had plenty of time to get over this. Grow up, get back and do the job you promised someone. Obviously, professionalism is not her strong suit.

13.
My concern is that she is strapped with an emotional wreck of a sister who brought a known thug & convict into their lives and will not be able to rise above the tragedy while carrying around that baggage plus trying to deal with her own.

Her sister's selfish irresponsible actions stopped many lives that day including that of Jennifer who had the desire to seek the American dream and a young child who had no say in his mothers choice of mates.

14. I don't know why people are so negative toward Jennifer, she is a sweet loving person who family has been taken from her. It's people like TM, Banica & puppies are soft, who are troubled, and will find themselves on judgment day begging to get into the gates of heaven. The three of you will bust HELL wide open. May God have mercy on you souls!!!!!!!!

You are one dumb b!tch. She lost 3 members of her family only a couple of months ago. Who are you to judge she had enough time to grieve? Professionalism? It should always be family over work. People like you are never happy. If she went back to her career too early you would still be criticizing her. I'm glad I'm not living your miserable, warped life. You better hope that karma does not come around and bite you in the ass.
