'Is Jennifer Hudson pregnant?': Why are you Googling this?

Jennifer-hudson_l Ask Jeeves probably won't be able to answer with certainty. Nor will anyone on Yahoo Answers or Google, where 'Is Jennifer Hudson pregnant?' ranked as the No. 2 search term for at least an hour yesterday. But if you're trying to find out whether or not Jennifer Hudson has a bun in the proverbial oven—which you clearly are—your best bet is to simply watch Hudson's performance of "Will You Be There" at Michael Jackson's memorial today (we've embedded the clip below, and provided photographic evidence at left). Watch for yourself and make your best guess: Is she pregnant? Or did she stuff a beach ball beneath her dress before stepping on stage? Or did she eat lunch at what I could only imagine was the best restaurant ever? (For the record, the singer herself has to date withheld comment on her pregnancy status, although a family friend spilled the beans about a baby shower held in Hudson's honor at the end of May.)

    Chloe, yer a goddam liar.

    Ugh, this is becoming my biggest pet peeve. For the 857th time, a phrase appearing on Google Trends does not mean it’s the top search term! It’s a trended index. Meaning more people are searching for it than they were the previous hour.

  • jfms777

    I thought she confirmed to one of the tabloids that she is pregnant. Confirmation was awhile ago.

  • Zach

    Thanks, Kate, for the serious journalism. How about the real question on my lips: Who was the singer who led “Heal the World” and “We Are the World”?

  • Lala

    Jennifer Hudson announced her pregnancy a few months ago. This is OLD news.

  • Kay

    Not everybody spends their time reading and watching celebrity news. Some of us are actually studying, working, mentoring, attending church, and helping others so if I did not know the latest on Jennifer Hudson, please understand that my attention spans far beyond the TV, and gossip magazines.

  • norma

    Jennifer sang a wonderful song. She also looks very pretty pregnant. The young lady has a very strong will. Jennifer herself has been through a hold lot.

    MJ you for every be in my heart forever and ever. My paryers go out to is family’s I love u and I miss u

  • Devin

    There’s definitely a picture on BestWeekEver.tv with Usher’s hand on her stomach, so I think we can safely say she’s preggers.

  • LaToya

    Lmao@ Rock Golf…

  • Suzanne

    1. It IS old news. Jennifer is about 7 months or more now. This came out about 2 months ago.
    2. LOL at EW not knowing what Google Trends mean. Crispy is so right–the top trend isn’t the most googled thing, it’s the thing that has the greatest percentage difference from yesterday to today. I’m sure that there are 100x as many people googling MJ songs, but everyone was doing that yesterday too, so it isn’t trending that high.

  • cg

    What difference does it make? She looked better than ever. She sang beautifully. And while I think the whole event was horrifying, she was there to honor Michael, not self promote like the Jacksons.

  • Jeff W.

    She’s always been obese so it’s difficult to tell.

  • Winona

    Yes, she’s pregnant – probably due in September – I’m also a singer and due in October, and it was nice to hear that she was having the same breath-control problems that I am (although she covers them up far better than I do!).

  • Kim

    She’s definitely preggers. There’s a picture of her and Usher at the Memorial and he’s touching her belly; you don’t do that to a fat lady…she’ll eat you

  • zykeria

    okay yall people dont need to be talking about her like that because sheis my aunt ti

  • Carter Forster

    Another child born out of wedlock? Oh, joy. :-/

  • CeCe

    Excuse the people that are talking about obiese. BIG IS BEAUTIFUL! I am a huge fan of my girl Jen. This aint cure. Stop being such haters. For realz. God bless, ecspecially Jen’s neice who defended Jen!

  • Kate

    ummm, I’m thinking if there’s been a baby shower in her honor, the chances she’s preggo are pretty high…

    YES SHE IS PREGGO BY PUNK FROM
    “I LOVE NEW YORK”…

  • Jacqueline L. Swain

    Ms. Ward. I too was wondering. I knew she was mourning the death of her family members and the last i heard she was living in one of Oprah’s homes. Well when I first saw her yesterday t the memorial, I just figured she had packed on a great deal of weight. That is until I saw the side view. But I must confess, that was a question I immediately asked. “Is she pregnant?”
    Her dresser should be fired! She is a beautiful woman pregnant and all, but the dress did nothing for her.

  • Justice Hinton

    to tell da turth i dont give a damn as you can see jennifer dont i mean i cant you see that she has to different worlds and she dont want whats going on in her house hold in public eye so if she is let her be damn you know how many other pregant women are out there im mean dang yall just take some thing and blow up with it for no reason so get of my idol case and let her do what she do best sing and act and draw and maybe you can her fans and i handle our anger prop bc dats my idol and i dont take no bs about her

  • Tiffany

    Yeah, I think it was pretty obvious she was pregnant. If not, that was one large burger that she ate.

    Hello, there’s a baby in there. Let’s think about it. If she had put on the weight, wouldn’t she had worn black to make her look slimmer. Not bright white to show off the bump.
