Jennifer Kate Hudson’s journey from American Idol finalist to Academy Award and Grammy Award winner shows that coming in first isn’t always best.
Born September 12, 1981, her early exit from Idol in 2004 didn’t slow her down at all. She subsequently broke into the worlds of acting, modeling and now parenthood.
After a tragic 2008, things are looking up. Last August she and fiance David Otunga (aka Punk from I Love New York Season 2) welcomed their son, David, into the world.
Congrats!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. (Shhhh… I have to whisper because I’m in class right now. It’s a session on typography/fonts — an obsession of mine. Did you know that Arial is a Microsoft-created copy of Helvetica they commissioned in the 1980s to avoid having to pay a license to use Helvetica? Weird, huh?)
I’ve voted for no 6. I think she looks her best with this hairstyle, because she has a rounded face and kind of fat we have to admit that.

I like number 5 because I think she could really pull off the big hair big curls look. It suits her face.

I like her hair in number 3, but I’m lovin’ her makeup in number 2!
I like 8 most, the side swept bangs and layered bob frame her face well.

I would love to be in that class right now, typography is an obsession of mine as well! I’m taking a Typography class right now in college and it’s so much fun. I’m learning a lot.
