Jennifer Hudson Assists Parker in City
Her instant gay
audience cred solidified with one performance - the
drama-queen-to-end-all-drama-queens Effie White in Dreamgirls-
Jennifer Hudson has decided to preach it to the choir once again by
getting herself cast in 2008's Sex and the City: The Movie.
It would appear that Hudson's appearance on the cover of Vogue
endeared her to the fashionable powers that
be
(that Oscar win probably helped a little, too), and the former
American Idol star will
co-star as Carrie Bradshaw's (Sarah Jessica Parker) assistant.
This, of course, begs the question of how much assistance a character
who sits in cafes, shops for shoes, and lightly taps on a laptop
actually needs, but the inclusion of Hudson still feels like a welcome
and adorable layer of pink frosting on an already crowd-pleasing
cupcake.
Hopefully, she'll be allowed to sing, too.
