I am going!

Jennifer Hudson

Yipee! Jennifer Hudson, the original big girl from Dreamgirls, has just signed on to star as Carrie’s (Sarah Jessica Parker’s) assistant in Sex and the City: The Movie.

Sure, she can act, and she can sing. But can she still look good while having sex in a sling and Manolo Blahniks (and nothing else)?  That’s what seems to separate the girls from the women over at SATC, so only time will tell!

I think she’ll definitely make a welcome addition to the line-up, though.  It’s about time the show had a big girl play an integral role.  And NO, Mario Cantone doesn’t count as a “big girl” no matter how many ovaries we suspect he has!

Here is a copy of the casting call for today’s SATC auditions.  Interestingly enough, they forgot to leave out “tranny hooker types who enjoy martinis.”  I’m hoping that was just an oversight!
