Jennifer Hudson does DATELINE

Singer, actress, and Chicago hometown girl JENNIFER HUDSON sat down with NBC’s Lester Holt (another Chicago son) to chat about her new book, “I Got This.”  Jennifer left no stone unturned as she talked about her battles with weight, Hollywood’s image of her versus her image of herself and, of course, the murder of her mother, brother, and nephew.  She also mentions that she has set a date for her wedding, but she’s not talking.  Let’s see if we can get any more info out of her when she appears on WINDY CITY LIVE on January 17th.

Meanwhile, here’s a clip of Jennifer talking about the foundation that she named in her son’s honor.  I’ll be talking about Jennifer’s interview tomorrow morning on Windy City LIVE at 9am on ABC7 Chicago.
