FRIDAY'S R&B CRUMBS: BRAND NEW JENNIFER HUDSON SHOOT AND MUCH MORE!

Here is a really sexy new photoshoot of Jennifer Hudson and she looks absolutely fantastic. Big things are coming up for Jennifer as she goes into the studio next month to start recording her debut album on J Records. Also, Jen will be gracing the March Issue of Vogue.



Proceed with the post to see the rest of this amazing photoshoot along with fab R&B appearances from Jennifer herself, Rihanna, Blu Cantrell, Jennifer Lopez, Cassie, Justin Timberlake and Mary J Blige, as well as exclusive music news from Kelly Rowland and Claudette Ortiz in today's fabtacular R&B crumbs.



Seriously, I cannot wait for the Oscars. It will be the icing on the cake if Jennifer were to win one.

Yesterday, Jennifer Hudson also attended and sang at Clive Davis' 2007 Pre-GRAMMY Awards Party Rehearsals. Justin Timberlake attended the event as well:



Clive Davis wanted Whitney Houston to perform at his annual pre- Grammy party tomorrow at the Beverly Hills Hotel, but I am reading reports that Whitney will not be attending as she is not ready to sing in public just yet. Instead, Jennifer Hudson may sing in her honour. The Grammy Awards should be an interesting show. On Sunday night, I will be reviewing who wore the best frocks/outfits, who had the best hair, who looked clean and slick, who didn't and so forth.

Mary J blige also turned up for rehearsals:




Ya'll know she 'gon kill it. Provided that she doesn't overdo it of course. The Hip Hop/R&B diva is expected to dominate pop music's most prestigious awards show and is up for prizes in eight categories, including both record and song of the year, where "Be Without You" is up against entries from James Blunt, Gnarls Barkley, The Dixie Chicks and Corinne Bailey Rae. Her platinum-selling The Breakthrough is also expected to snag the best R&B album award. To date, the album has sold more than 2.7 million copies in the United States alone since its release at the end of 2005.

Blu Cantrell attended the 3rd Annual Peapod Foundation Benefit Concert and for once she actually looked decent:



All she needs to do now is go into the studio and record another bangin' album.

Jennifer Lopez and Mary J Blige attended the Rodeo Drive Walk Of Style Awards and Jennifer looked absolutely stunning. Work it bitch:



Too bad I couldn't say the same about Mary who looked really cracked out.

Yesterday, Rihanna was at the Zac Posen Fashion Fall Collection and looked nice. It has been a very busy week for Rihanna and after weeks of touring in Europe, she managed to find the time to enjoy fashion week:




Could Rihanna have been in the front row at Zac Posen because she's attending Grammy festivities this weekend? She was also joined by Nicole Richie and her beau who were sat front seat.

Yesterday our favourite gal Cassie was seen around Bryant Park during Fashion Week and she looked cute as usual:



Lookin' good.

And as we all love her sense of style, here are two more pictures of her when she attended this weeks Cherry Coke event:



Yup, she knows she's fly!
