Life Imitates Art For Knowles & Hudson

Ok, I admit it: I sat through the entire length of Dreamgirls without falling asleep. But only just.

I won’t regale you with my thoughts on the movie – let’s face it, you either loved it, or you hated it – but what I will say is that the best part of the film is Beyonce and Jennifer’s character’s bitter relationship. I’d praise the pair on their superb acting, only I don’t think there was much acting at all in certain parts of the film.

Back when Dreamgirls was first released (and gaining all those nominations), rumours were flying left and right that the former Destiny’s Child frontwoman was so “jealous” of co-star Jennifer Hudson’s “almost instant” fame that the pair barely spoke.
