Noted VH1 Romantic New York Puts Slim Odds On J-Hud's Marriage Lasting
Posted by Kyle Buchanan at 8:20 AM on October 9, 2008
Jennifer Hudson is an Oscar-winning singer/actress, so of course it makes sense that she would marry a castoff from the second season of VH1's low-rent The Bachelorette takeoff, I Love New York. Sadly, New York (also known as Tiffany Patterson) was not invited to the blessed union between J-Hud and her new groom, David Otunga (nee "Punk"), but she helpfully weighed in anyway, via In Touch Weekly:
The New York Goes To Hollywood star says she's skeptical about the Dreamgirls actress' engagement to Harvard Law School grad David, who competed for Tiffany's affections on I Love New York 2 under the name Punk. "He's really loving being Mr. Jennifer Hudson. I think he's loving the lavish things she brings to his life, he's seeing the world due to Jennifer's success," Tiffany tells In Touch. "[But] can you love this person if they lose all of this tomorrow? She needs to find out. I just hope people are marrying each other for the right reasons."
Then, New York broke out the Star Jones/Al Reynolds comparisons and catty body image slams:
New York's not optimistic about the couple's future. "It's a mixed match, it won't work," she says. "He'll be in her shadow like Al Reynolds was to Star Jones, like Stedman Graham is to Oprah." There's also a good reason David wasn't the right match for Tiffany on I Love New York 2. "When we were in Miami together, he didn't even try anything [on me]!" she says. "Maybe I wasn't his type, maybe I wasn't big enough for him."
New York, save your misapplied aggression for the crafts-services table. As Oscar and American Idol royalty, Jennifer Hudson is not to be messed with — she's got the gays (mostly) and the U.N. at her disposal!

That Star Joes quip was more about the weight than the beard. FYI Tiffany, you can't go around looking like the black Amanda Lepore without attracting a few queens...
That said, what better way for J.Hud to cement her diva status than by having a gay ex-husband?
One day J.Hud will walk in on Punk plucking his brows and lypsyncing I Am Changing into the vanity, and for the first time, will view the familiar scene in a different light.

When she says, "big enough" what she means is gay enough.

@TillieHarper: A Reynold's Wrap, wherein a man clings to his wife's power and celebrity status.

I think she's right. JHud is not particularly well-endowed when it comes to brains. The Harvard man isn't going to stick around long. I think he's pulling an Al too.

I hate to say it but she is right. Why this guy being on I love new York wasn't a warning sign enough is beyond me. This engagement, just like that metallic python bollero jacket Andre leon talley talked her into wearing to the oscars, is a bad decision.
