Jennifer Hudson Could Have Depressed Us All In “Precious”

It's hard to imagine "Precious" without then-unknown Gabourey Sidibe. But Jennifer Hudson was riding high after "Dreamgirls" and said she turned down the role because she didn't want to gain weight. "I had [gained weight] with Effie and as much as I was moved by this film, I wanted to try a role that had nothing whatsoever to do with my weight," Jennifer explained, ever the Weight Watchers spokeswoman.
