Jennifer Hudson Sex and the City

Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson, 26, injects some color and youth into Sex and the City, playing Carrie Bradshaw’s assistant, Louise, from St. Louis. Like her movie boss, Hudson loves her accessories — and learned from writer/director Michael Patrick King how to be hell in heels.

How did you feel when you got the call that they wanted you for this movie?
Oh my God! I was extremely excited once I started watching the show and experiencing it. I was like “Oh my God! They want me to be in this? They want me to be one of these women?”

Mo’nique Update

Syndication One has added comedian and actress Mo’Nique to its roster of radio personalities, which already includes Rickey Smiley, Yolanda Adams, Bishop TD Jakes, Donnie McClurkin and CoCo Brother.

“I love radio and being able to talk about issues that really concern my community,” says Mo’Nique. “For me it’s all about the listeners, the community is my boss. With my program, you’ll have more fun, more real talk, and more love.”

The actress will host a daily show from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. EST. So far, the midday program has been added at KDAY in Los Angeles with a start date of July 23rd.

“Mo’Nique is one of the funniest, most dynamic female entertainers working in radio today,” says Syndication One’s President of Programming Gary Bernstein. “She has a clear vision of what she wants to do and how she wants to do it. Radio is lucky to have such an incredible personality at its disposal.”
