Jennifer Hudson to be Avon Pitchwoman

Singer/actress Jennifer Hudson's resume is growing by leaps and bounds lately. The 25-year-old has been tapped to be the new face for Avon's Imari brand and new scent, Imari Seduction. Avon's Executive VP said, "We believe our customers will be truly inspired by Jennifer Hudson's success story." Imari has been Avon's best selling scent since it debuted 20 years ago.

"This is an honor for me and very flattering," Hudson said in a press release. "To partner with Avon is really a dream come true for me."

Jennifer will be in Avon's brochures for the classic Imari scent and Imari seduction. "With the success of 'Dreamgirls' and now an Oscar, it's been an incredible few months," Hudson said.

The newest scent, Imari Seduction, will be available in August in the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic from Avon's representatives and also on the company's Web site.
