Jennifer Hudson Cops Her Star On Hollywood Walk Of Fame

Earlier today, Jennifer Hudson reached a milestone and received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  See pics from the happy moment inside…. 

Academy Award winner and "American Idol" Dreamgirl Jennifer Hudson posed proudly atop the star of the Hollywood Walk of Fame she received earlier today.   And looked white hot in Stella McCartney Resort 2014 while doing so.

Joined by her longtime fiance David Otunga and son David Jr., Jen tearfully accepted her honor and paid homage to her late mother saying:

"I’m sure my mom is in heaven like, ‘Jenny stop crying!’ But now’s the time to cry mama."

Aww.

The newly coifed Weight Watchers spokeswoman, who went through a major physical transformation before our eyes, also thanked the men and women who captured her every move.  She said during her speech:

"I even want to thank the paparazzi…even though y’all get on my nerves. I always sit and talk to y’all because we’re all one."  

Ana Martinez, Producer of the Walk of Fame ceremonies said, "We are so happy to honor Jennifer Hudson with a star on the Walk of Fame. She is a great talent and a great addition to our Walk of Fame. Fans from all over the world have been waiting for this special day since we announced Jennifer’s selection for the star.”

Music legend Clive Davis, Ledisi, and singer/producer Raphael Saadiq were also on hand to salute Jennifer.
