The world was collapsing on itself yesterday over Jennifer Hudson's Super Bowl performance of The National Anthem, but turns out, she lip-synched the whole thing. It also turns out that I don't care. Because if anybody deserves a free pass, it's Jennifer Hudson. I don't know about you, but if my mother and brother were killed and my 7 year old nephew was found days later in an abandoned SUV with bullets in his head just because some monster couldn't afford to buy a car, I'd be wearing a mohawk and a camouflage jacket while I was scraping the serial number off a Desert Eagle, not preparing a pre-recorded track. The fact that she can even function at all deserves a medal ceremony like they had at the end of Star Wars.

By the way, sorry about not posting yesterday. The priest assured me that all the demons in my computer have been cast out.

In another incident to support her growing diva reputation, Jennifer Hudson called and tried to back out of the performing at the Soul Train Awards even hough she was scheduled to receive the Sammy Davis Jr. Award for Entertainer of the Year.

Jennifer called Friday and said she couldn't make it," said our source. "Soul Train" producer Don Cornelius immediately called Clive Davis..."Clive called Jennifer and read her the riot act. He said, 'Get you're ass out to L.A.' and then hung up on her. The strong talk from her de facto boss evidently worked because "she showed up."

After winning an Oscar, it must be hard to get excited about winning an award named after a dude with a glass eye. In fact, it might be hard even if you didn't win an Oscar, because to be fair, it's a Soul Train Music award. It's only slightly more prestigious than a Best Handwriting sticker.
