Jennifer Hudson addresses rumors she's dating Common
Jennifer Hudson is addressing the rumors she’s dating Common.
Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, the soon-to-be daytime talk show host, who was spotted with the rapper at a restaurant in Philadelphia last month, shared her thoughts on the romance rumors.
“People create their narratives of it and it’s like, OK, you know, how you feel,” she said.
“We shot a film together and he played my husband,” Hudson added, referencing the upcoming action thriller Breathe, which also stars Milla Jovovich, Quvenzhané Wallis and Sam Worthington. “We gotta eat in between those moments,” Hudson added.
The singer and Oscar-winning actress, who is gearing up for the premiere of her daytime talk show, The Jennifer Hudson Show, also shared that while she understands why fans are interested in her personal life, she’s more interested in their stories.
“If you have a moment where you wanna sit and talk about [me], I guess we can do that too sometimes,” she said.

Vince Staples to star in new Netflix comedy series
Vince Staples is making his way to Netflix.
The rapper is set to star The Vince Staples Show, a new Netflix comedy series from Kenya Barris, who will be an executive producer on the project, Variety reports. The new show is set in Long Beach, California and is a comedy series based loosely on Staples’ life.
“I am excited to partner with Netflix and Kenya Barris on The Vince Staples Show,” the 29-year-old said in a statement. “This has been something I have been developing for some time and I am happy it’s coming to fruition.”
This isn’t Staples’ first rodeo when it comes to acting. He recently filmed the White Men Can’t Jump reboot and has been cast in the pilot for Showtime’s The Wood. The rapper has also appeared in the 2015 film Dope and had a guest appearance in HBO’s Insecure.

John Legend explains why he is no longer friends with Kanye West
Kanye West discovered John Legend and co-produced his 2004 double-Platinum debut album, Get Lifted. However, they are no longer friends and have not worked together in several years. Now, the EGOT winner is setting the record straight on why they fell out.
“What it got described as was, we stopped being friends because he supported [Donald] Trump, which was a mischaracterization,” The Voice coach told the New Yorker. “What I was saying was that he was very upset with me that I didn’t support him running for president and that was the real impetus for us having a strain in our friendship.”
Legend’s first five albums were released on West’s GOOD Music. John left the label in 2018. He says their friendship ended when he campaigned for Joe Biden for president in 2020.
“I don’t want to live a life that’s so consumed by politics that it’s the sole determinant of who can be my friend and who can’t,” the 43-year-old entertainer said. “But values matter, and character matters and moral compass matters.”
When Legend tried to convince Kanye to join the Biden campaign, Yeezy refused and posted screenshots of their conversation on Twitter.
“I talked to him with love and with empathy and tried to help him see another way of looking at things,” Legend said. “And, obviously, he went the way he went with it.”
When the Donda rapper briefly ran for president in 2020, Trump’s team supported him, including raising money for him.
“I saw their work on his behalf as a clear scam and an operation to try to siphon Black votes away from Biden, so there was no way I was going to support it,” Legend recalled. “Kanye was upset with that, and we haven’t been friends since.”
