Jennifer Hudson is trying to cover her ass... Even though most of her diva behavior have not been rumors, but actually quoted comments she insists she's been "hurt" by the backlash since her Oscar win. Maybe, she is realizing her dumb ass was over hyped and did not win the award because of her great acting skills?She is especially upset about allegations that she tried to ditch the Soul Train Music Awards "Why would they dog me out after I was one of the only people to show up on the show?" asks Hudson.
She also insists she didn't intend to belittle American Idols influence on her career. "I didn't mean it in a bad way ... 'American Idol' is a stepping stone because had it not been for them, no one would have known of a Jennifer Hudson to call to audition for 'Dreamgirls.'" I love how she changed her tune! She forgets to mention that she compared American Idol to her getting fired at Burger King!

Star Jones-Reynolds admitted to Extra that she is a diva. "I've earned that diva image. It's not something that I can hide from "I adms should have. It was well-earned, but it's softened now."During her tenure on The View, Reynolds developed a reputation for engaging in shameless self-promotion and wanting free products – particularly during her over the top wedding to Al Reynolds in November 2004.
She told July that she "believed the hype" about herself. "I was on a hit show, doing Payless; I was getting my health together; I met Al. I started to think, 'Oooo, I got it going on!' Now I know: Everything I had was a gift."
Jones, who wrote the self-help memoir Shine: A Physical, Emotional and Spiritual Journey to Finding Love, says she is changing her ways. "I am rejoicing in learning from my mistakes and missteps and trips and falls," she tells Extra.
Though Reynolds says she hasn't spoken to any of her former View cohosts, she recently did receive some holiday cheer from the show's youngest member, Elisabeth Hasselbeck. "I'm sure that everybody has gone on with their lives and I've gone on with mine," says Reynolds. "I get some sweet, wonderful cards from Elisabeth all the time?I got the cutest Christmas card.?
In terms of her career, Reynolds announced last week her plans to host a three-hour radio program for the Radio One broadcasting network, which is airing this week. "I've learned that sometimes modesty and humility shows the most strength and courage. That's the Star that you see right now."
