Kelly Rowland falls victim to the Jennifer Hudson curse
R&B star Kelly Rowland has been left pondering the existence of a Jennifer Hudson curse on her and her Destiny’s Child bandmates, after losing out to the Oscar winner for a role in Sex and the City: The Movie.
Hudson landed the role of Louise, the assistant to Sarah Jessica Parker’s character Carrie Bradshaw, after fighting off competition from singer/actress Rowland.
And the Dilemma hitmaker was stunned to hear she had lost out on the movie opportunity, because she was convinced she had it in the bag.
She tells WENN, “I can’t understand it because I did a really good job at the audition, a really good job!
“I hate it, and of course I feel that I should have the part, but then Jennifer Hudson’s just won an Oscar, so maybe she’s better for the role. But I was so bummed at that, I really wanted it.”
It is the second time in as many years that Hudson has triumphed over the Destiny’s Child girls – in 2006, she was awarded the part of Effie White in the big-screen adaptation of musical Dreamgirls – the role Beyonce Knowles initially wanted to try out for. The Crazy In Love beauty later accepted the smaller part of Deena Jones, in a story loosely based on the rise and fall of The Supremes in the 1960s and 70s.

Oh please! Anyone in the entertainment biz should know better than to spout crap like this! Methinks the source edited her comments in such a way to make it look as though Kelly is griping at JHud winning the role.

I Feel that she didn’t get that part, well yes she didn’t fit the role to me either like the directory said but I feel she is like a Carrie Cradshaw because in real life she loves shoes like Carrie does and she is also looking for love. That didn’t want another Carrie Bradshaw they already had one which was Sarah Jessica Parker which I love. If they did a sex in the city with black women Kelly Rowland would be the first person i would call for the role of the Carrie Bradshaw or if they change the name but it portrays the old sex in the city.
