Cover Girl: Jennifer Hudson on Vogue Magazine

For someone who lost out on American Idol last season, singer/actress Jennifer Hudson's star could not shine any better than it has been lately. Especially considering she took home an Oscar last night, for her very first acting role ever in the hit movie, Dreamgirls.

The young Chicago native was recently photographed at the legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem by Annie Leibovitz for the March issue of Vogue magazine. She got her singing start at age 7, singing in the choir at her local Baptist church.
