Burger King Thanks Jennifer Hudson

As we had mentioned last week, Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson snappend back at Simon Cowell's criticism for not thanking "American Idol" in her Oscar speech. She said, "If I'd been any better at my job when I was at Burger King in my middle teens, I wouldn't be here either, so should I thank them, too?"

Burger King was Hudson’s first job at the age 16 and they have a special treat for the Oscar winner.

"...In response to Jennifer's recent comments in which she asked if she should be thanking Burger King, we say thanks, but no thanks are necessary. Burger King Corporation is proud of Jennifer's success and while we never like to lose employees, in this case, our loss is the entertainment industry's gain ... To further show our support for Jennifer, and make sure she never has to sing for her supper again, Burger King Corporation is giving her a pre-paid BK Crown Card that will be automatically reloaded for life."

Even so, if she hadn't been on Am Idol she wouldn't have gotten the part or had the opportunity to be seen. And I saw some clips of Simon giving her encouragement. Sorry if you and she thinks everyone should be kissing her ass 24/7. Cry me a f'n river.

Jenny, honey, Simon told her that she was way out of her league, then she was booted out of the show. So why the HELL should she thank the producers and Simon "Jumped Up" Cowell. She was right to thank BK and for those of you who think she's fat, I presume you are skinny white hoes who tend to barf your lunches in the toilet by 4pm

i was sort of a fan for a while just because she had her dream come true and seemed like such a gracious beautiful young woman. however i'm not so enamored anymore, she seems like a thankless whiner, and what does she have to complain about? american idol gave her the break she needed, no doubts about it. plus i see her career dying down very quickly. she won a slew of awards for dream girls but that was more because of the singing than the actual acting. hope she enjoys the remaining 2 seconds of fame that she has left.

Jennifer Hudson has no class. And she REALLY doesn't need a BK card...maybe they should hand out free gift cards to the malnurished people on the street? I'm sure they can use it more than that fatty.

I don't care about the weight, but she should be a bit more gracious about the opportunity Am. Idol gave her and STFU! Not classy AT ALL.

She is not fat. And even if she was...she's the one with the Oscar don't hate.

I think JH looks great. So what if she is a little curvy. That is the type of role model kids today needs, someone who isn't too skinny and not too fat. Don't forget the average size woman in America is size 14.
