Rumor had it yesterday that Jennifer Hudson was expecting a new baby - just 4 months after popping out the last one. Today, her rep insisted otherwise however, by releasing a statement saying,

Contrary to what has been falsely reported, Jennifer Hudson is not pregnant. Jennifer leaves in April for South Africa where she will portray Winnie Mandela in the feature film, Winnie.

It is a commitment she is excited about and takes very seriously

Jennifer is currently in the studio recording her second album and this is the only delivery she is looking forward to in 2010.
