Jennifer Hudson might be playing Aretha Franklin

Except that Aretha doesn’t sound too hip on the idea:

Jennifer Hudson is in line to play Aretha Franklin in a movie about her life.

Aretha, who has been approached by several movie studios about taking her story to the big screen, has revealed that Jennifer has been suggested for the starring role.

Aretha told Access Hollywood: "Well, I don’t know. I’m not sure. The producers want to know how I feel about it, about her playing me. What I’d like to see is three different people playing me."

Yeah – three DIFFERENT people OTHER than Jennifer Hudson. Oh, you know that Jennifer will get the part. Where else are you going to find an actress willing and able to pack on about 300 extra pounds? That Burger King free for life card is about to start getting USED, yall.

    Jennifer is not going to play in the Aretha movie.Aretha has never siad that, she has plainly stated that the studios suggested jHud, she did not say she was considering her. One person whom Hollywood does not like I know will bo one of the three in the biopic. You guys are so smart you don’t pay attention to anything. JHud has you all thinking she is the hottest thing around, that no other singers or actors exist but her or are qualified. She is too good to be true, and it fanyone or anythig is too good to be true then it is not.I think she has a lovely voice many African American women in our churches, I know some who can sing rings around her that have not won an Oscar, I guess all the other actresses should leave Hollywood, because she wants to play every role, now she wants to play in the Jackie Robinson story and she hasn’t even compled the role she is playing in now. Are there not any other actressin Hollywood who are qualified. I’m not buying her cd or going to see any movie she is in. I’m not paying for her wedding. She is trying to manipulate all of us, while she is hot.
