Hope their stars get better treatment than the ones I saw in L.A.

Jennifer Hudson, really?

And my Whitney doesn't even have one..

Well people pay for their stars. Whitney never wanted one I heard so...yeah.

Yeah I think her people just fell through doing it. Whitney was never one to follow her singles the charts. But still.

I love Jennifer Hudson I think she has a couple good songs, and I like that she's supports the gay community. But what the hell has she done? Her weight loss has kept her relevant more than her music or films lol.
