O1LT.COM "HOT AND BLACK" REPORT- JENNIFER HUDSON, 64TH GOLDEN GLOBES NOMINATIONS, JAY-Z!!

By L.T. Dinwiddie
I don’t give a damn what anybody says – Jennifer Hudson is now officially my new favorite artist. If American Idol, DreamGirls, a J-Records recording contract, and now a Golden Globe Nomination wasn’t enough for Jennifer’s fan. Her earth shattering performance on the Today show recently should send you over the edge. Like Oprah always says, “The little hairs on the back of my neck started to stand up”, that’s how I felt when I heard Jennifer’s mesmerizing voice as I was headed to work.

This performance stuck with me all day and I couldn’t wait to get home and bring it to each and every one of you. When Jennifer Hudson comes out with her CD I am going to make it my mission in life to sescure an interview for O1LT.com. Check out her performance and interview with Matt Lauer.





Speaking of the Golden Globes…


The 64th Golden Globe nominations have been released and I have to tell you that I am over the moon with the surprisingly prevalent African American representation on this year’s list – Even if all of it came from DreamGirls.

Though you may have not noticed, I have made a very conscious decision to not talk about Janet Jackson after her dismal album was released a couple of months ago. Though I haven’t abandoned her I just felt that there was no point in beating a dead horse or trying to promote her anymore then I already did. For about two months O1LT.com ran a story on her and Jeramine almost every single day.

Some of my readers emailed me with complaints and I took heed. But, I was stopping by one of my go-to sites mediatakeout.com (Shout out to Fred for the O1LT.com love) and I read an interesting report that Janet might be leaving the record label that she has called home for almost 15 years. Now I’m sure you know that nothing is done until its done, but according to the extremely and often times salacious entertainment news website it’s a done deal.FULL STORY
