Shouldn’t these people be too busy to post on MySpace?
Earlier this week, the Dallas Voice published this piece about Jennifer Hudson, who plays Effie White in Dreamgirls. Hudson is the featured entertainer at a New York City gay event happening at the end of this month.
As a Baptist who’s singing at circuit party, has Hudson reconciled her spiritual beliefs and her gay fan base? Does she support same-sex marriage?
“Nobody has ever asked me these questions,†she says.
“Everybody sins,†Hudson continues. “No sin is greater or different than the other. To each his own. If it don’t bother Jennifer, then Jennifer don’t mind. I don’t really even think about it because I don’t believe in judging people for what they do.â€
When referencing themselves, lots of divas probably do that schizophrenic thing where they toggle between first and third person. But did Hudson just say that being gay is a sin?
“According to the way we’re taught, and what it says in the Bible — it is,†Hudson says.
If her answers didn’t already sound like fundamentalist clichés, Hudson then added, “I have plenty of gay friends.â€
SFGate.com‘s Daily Dish, the site’s gossip blog, posted about Hudson’s reply to the Dallas Voice piece:
The former “American Idol” contestant has hit back at remarks attributed to her Wednesday in a Dallas, Texas, newspaper in which she allegedly called homosexuality “a sin.”
Hudson posted a message on her MySpace page trying to clear up any confusion…
Hudson’s MySpace post:
It should be a happy day because I heard that the National Board of Review picked me as one of the BreakThru Actresses of the Year. What an honor. I was so thrilled when I heard. But it turned into a sad day and I can’t understand why or how this happened. When you are up, people try to tear you down. Some paper is saying that I have a problem with gay people. Its just mean and wrong. My feelings are so hurt and I can’t sleep. Anybody that knows me, knows that just ain’t true. Its makes me so mad that people can twist your words and say anything they want. And, there’s nothing I can do about it, except to say, please don’t believe everything you read.
Hudson’s not the only one clearing things up on MySpace. After everyone and their mother posted the news that Lance Bass and Reichen Lehmkuhl were calling it quits, Bass jumped on MySpace to post that him and Reichen are giving it another shot:
Lance wrote on his private Myspace page:”Reichen and I have gone through a few rough days … I have no doubt things will work out. We are very mature and deal with things the right way.”
So, really, am I wrong in my assumption that Jennifer Hudson and Lance Bass should have better things to do with their time?
The link to *my* MySpace page in my signature below tells you that I don’t, but we’re not talking about me here.

It is rather strange to see how some people can walk and chew gum at the same time, isn’t it?
Don’t nit pick…it’s most unflattering.
Are you not aware that nitpicking is my job, Stella? ;)
And she does it so well!
