After all she's been through recently, I was extremely happy to see Jennifer Hudson smiling again in her new GAP ad. The ad was actually shot this summer, long before Jen suffered the loss of three immediate family members and while the singer was given the option to back out of the ads, she decided to let the clothing company release them, despite what might seem like poor timing to some.
"She said she wanted to be a part of it and that we should move forward," Gap spokesperson Olive Doyne told E! Hudson was photographed for the ad by Michael Thompson back in July in New York City. Jen's "Shine Your Own Star" ad can be seen in magazines and newspapers and on billboards in New York and Los Angeles.
The Oscar winning actress isn't the only music talent grinning in Holiday Gap Ads. Atlantic recording artists Flo Rida, Trey Songz and Janelle Monae have been selected to star in the Gap's "Merry Mix It" campaign, which debuted this week online, in Gap stores and in movie theatres nationwide.
Not only will the entertainers be modeling, Flo Rida and Trey Songz were also tapped to write a produce a "street-smart" rendition of a Christmas classic for the Gap. You can hear Trey and Flo Rida's version of "Jingle Bells" in Gap stores across the country along with in-store video displays in select stores. Visit www.gap.com/merrymixit to hear the song. The site also offers fans and customers the opportunity to personalize the spot. Users can custom remix the commercial and send it to friends and family as a holiday greeting card.
You really HAVE to go to the website and watch them perform the song. It's slightly corny but cute...
Last week it was a Caribbean jazz cruise, this week it's the beaches of Miami --- Eric Benet is back with another Kyte greeting to make everybody jealous..
Sorry. But I can't believe shit she says. Bey is so damn rehearsed and scripted that why should interviewers even bother. She acts like she's a politician. We want to hear your real thoughts, not the answers of that you have rehearsed before appearing for an interview. Who actually believes her excuse of not being ready for the role of Etta James. Talkin bout some it was too dramatic for me. Man please, she knew that she jumped at the chance to take this role hoping to do what J. Hud did. An all this alter ego shit is so stupid. Sasha Fierce...Bitch your name is Beyonce, and you are still the same person. Don't be scared to say that Beyonce has a fuckin freaky side. That's all it boils down too. Can you belive this bitch invited herself to sing at the inauguration. Who the fuck invites themselves to anything???
C-lo you are a str8 hatin' Azz B%$ch!!..You worse than 1 of theses females the way u bring yo raggedy broke-down azz on here and spit all that venom on this chick...stop tit ridin'..you coming off like a groupie who was snubbed by a celeb....you really need to check that..real hoe-type..but I digress..cuz everyday u on the same negative ish...carry-on "Gossip-Girl".....
@ Swaggah Supreme.....First Off... Nigga u dnt knw me....I'm laughing at "raggedy broke-down"...I aint rich, but i'm very far from broke. Matter of fact if you got 10 geez sitting in a bank, I can tell you which stock to invest in right now that you will triple your whole current portfolio "if you even have 1"within the next 5-7 years... But i doubt you have that type of $$$ to invest. So , I digress. And you probably just learned that word...LMAO....Fan my big dick nigga...I'm a critic of great music all day any day before I am a fan...The only time I was a fanatic was when Tupac was still alive and I was a mere teenager at that time. Now that I'm a "GROWN MAN", we don't do the fan thing chump. It's all about rating albums. Nigga everybody no Bey is fake...Nigga name 1 false thing I said bout the bitch. And if i'm hating on every damn body on this site, then tell me why I give mad props to Jeezy, T.I, Rock City, Asher Roth, Devin The Dude, Killer Mike...I can go on.... You must don't read SOHH everyday nigga. Cause I give props to where props is due "FUCK BOI"... Make sure you get ya facts str8 before coming at me...Cause i'm known to aire niggas out!
AND DAT'S REAL TALK 4 YO ASS!!!
"You must don't read SOHH everyday nigga."
nahh we dont. we actually have lives. oooh.
its funny how people who dont even KNOW half of these celebrities call them fake and shit likee they recently had an altercation with them or something lol. Beyonce can care less what you or anyone else thinks..because theres always gonna be some one (like me =]) to buy her shit. soo in the time it took you to write your two paragrapghs, C-Lo Swagg, Bey probably just made a cool..eh..lets say $500,000 somewhere
@Jasmine. Suck my dick....I read Sohh everyday cause it's like my daily dose of Hip-Hop news to keep up with whats current. So you trying to call me out just cause i read the site is dismissed hoe. Bey, probably made a cool Milli the time it took me to write that paragraph. But, I can care less, as matter of fact I love seeing my black folk get that gwap...The more ther better off we'd be. But that still doesn't hide that fact that she is a fake ass bitch...And i'm just trying to keep it 100. Everybody can't be real in the camera and say what they want unscripted without thinking that "Wow, did I just put my career in jeopardy", Fuck Dat Shit!!! Keyshia Cole....What up baby!!! She's the realest chick in the game. Oh and uhhh....Bey married Hov for status.... If you don't believe, check out the pre-nup....She fraud!
Wow, brotha you sound worst than females hatin on each other...Did Beyonce do something to you to hurt your feelings?...Don't get me wrong, brotha you can like who you want to like, not like who u want to not like, but there is way in which you can simply state a dislike without coming across as the anger, disgruntled black male...It's as if some female (or male HHMM) has burned you and now you are storming up and down the street with a "females are fake b**ches" sign...The one statement you made that was true was we should all be happy when others are getting paid...She is, has done and will continue to ultimately, GET PAID! Then she married for status, wow...She has her own status, she is on the left, hov on the right...together they got the road covered no matter which angle you come at them...Don't see any status related love in that scenario, but really it ain't my business, i worry bout my own love...Im a critic of great music, movies, politics, etc but your words extend far beyond a negative review...The bigger picture in this is..u, me and anybody else really don't matter to beyonce because she is doin her thang whether you like her or not...And if you are able to tell individuals which stocks to currently invest in when we are currently in an economic and financial crisis as a nation, your skills are questionable...no one is currently bringing in financial revenue from stock investments...the stock market is crumbling (CNN, MSNBC)...So your invest in stock statement is illogical, incorrect and not based on any current financial sound data....Back to SOHH, if you don't like em, kewl say you don't like them and keep it movin...Not on here to be funny or disrespectful black man, but it just time that we stop slandering others names (regular people and/or celebrities) - Its just not that serious - it should only be THAT SERIOUS in regards to you, your family and loved ones...NOV 4 and JAN 20...YES WE CAN and YES WE DID!
lmaoo. damn C-LO..whatever..your worse than the Beyonce stans! lol..im done. Keysha Cole may be a "real chick" but she still has no talent and will never reach that B status.
@ kewlzo_1999....You know I had to come back and check dat ass right. You should of just stayed in your lane cause i'm bout to make you look and sound real stupid. You really don't know what your talking about when it comes to stocks. Yeah the stock market is bad right now, but not every single stock on the market is underperforming...And being that this is what I fuckin do,You know what, I'm going to give ya'll this for free and I'll just charge it to the game. Silly Rabbit, the only thing it seems that you know about the stock market is that they go up and down. Other then that, people like me who actually have stocks and frequently checks their portfolio will laugh at the statement you made. Just be real, you don't know shit about the Dow, NYSE, or how the S&P functions. Befor I air you out. I just wanna give u some info of how I got on and became financially independent and turned 3,000 into 60k. Back in 2002 I invested 3,000 into Sprint PCS @ merely $2/share...I did it cause they had just announced that Sprint was going to merge with Nextel, which of course is now SprintNextel. Fast forwar to 2006 where the stock wen up to about $20 and some change... I sold my stock at $20 and made a total of $57k. Since then I have re-invested in other stocks to build my portfolio and my overall wealth. Now the stock that is "ABSOLUTELY" going to sky rocket in the next 3-5 years is Amex.. Which American Express for you dummies. As you may or may not know, the Fed has allowed Amex to become an actual bank which will allow them to create checking and savings accounts and possibly delve into mortgages after a certain period of time. Amex current stock price is only $19.99/share...That may seem a lot to some of you people, but when it comes to average stock prices, that aint even shit. To actually benefit from this investment it will take at least 10K. Like I said before, this is what I do so ya'll can take that for free. I just doubt that in this current economy that many of you have 10k chillin in the bank ready for you to pull out at any given moment....Well I do, thanks to the knowledge of the market...So kewlzo_1999 does that answer your question baby. It's nice to know that you do at least know that the market is fucked up and that the prices to go up and down. But word of advice, don't ever try to come at somebody that does this shit for a living, cause you just ate the fuck up... This is your "so called financial sound data""!!!! LMAO...How you feel now...I do this shit!

LMAO!!! And to think this whole argument started over Beyonce. I swear only she can cause World War 3 at the mention of her of name.
haha you claim to be soo 'bout it when it comes to stocks C-Lo Swagg..yet you come on SOHH EVERYDAY writing PARAGRAPHS about Beyonce and other people who could care less about you..? i dont get it. haha and yes..ive never seen soo many people get soo worked up over Beyonce..if she aint helping pay my bills then fuck her.
I find it real funny that I generate more repsonses to my comments made then the actual blogger!!! Maybe Sohh should cut me a check!
@ Jasmine... I wasn't even going to comment.. But you really are that dumb. "Keyshia Cole has no talent"! You need to be stoned for that stupid ass comment. Keyshia is the MJB of this decade.
The hair is fake. The clue is the smooth band of light that shows the "bump" where the partial (weave or wig) was applied. The lashes are fake too, but so are Oprah's. Just something you know from working in the business
The interview is contrived but must be the case because people are in her life so much. It's only fair and it makes me reconsider this - Beyonce is cool but Sasha Fierce sucks. I've always hated that side of her work... even when she was the lead of Beyonce & Them (aka Destiny's Child). Am I a hater, of course not. My gift is not singing and Beyonce Knowles Carter has never done anything to me (besides stress my ears at an occasional party or club). I actually like her "I AM" work.
I just hope that the integrity of Etta James was preserved in the movie Cadillac and that The Carters (Sean and Beyonce) are happy with the life they arranged for themselves.
It's hard work staying on top, relevant, the biggest. According to every great anybody - it's easier getting to the top than staying there.
