Jennifer Hudson Disses American Idol

Although her comments are not necessarily direct hits, what singer Jennifer Hudson said about American Idol recently is anything but complimentary. It seems the Golden Globe winner and Oscar nominee is already forgetting how she got her recent acting gig in Dreamgirls. She is the newest cover girl for Essence magazine, and here's some of what she had to say:

"On American Idol, you go through this mental thing; you've got to get yourself back together. You've been abused, misled and brainwashed to believe whatever they want you to think. You become a character – I became the girl in the turkey wrapping." (On one episode, she wore an unflattering outfit that earned that label.) "I just knew I had to sing my way out of it. I don't believe in looking back, and I didn't look back."
