Jennifer Hudson may have surprised the world when she began dating from "I Love New York 2" in 2008, but the Oscar-winning singer and actress — who is showing their son, David Jr., to the world and opening up about being a mom for the first time in next week's issue of People magazine— sees the former reality show contestant and Harvard Law School grad as just simply David.

In an interview with MTV News last October, Hudson told us that she didn't judge him for his stint on the reality show. She, of course, got her start on a reality show as well. She was an "American Idol" hopeful long before she was a "Dreamgirl." "I don't think it's fair to judge someone off an experience [like the show]," she said.

But it wasn't that easy for Otunga to win her over. Hudson said she needed to be wooed before she agreed to date him. "He had to prove himself. ... Everything to me takes time," she explained. "We talked for a very long time before we got into each other. We got a good chance to know each other and we made really good friends out of it, which led us to this."

In the long run though, Otunga did have what it takes to finally win the heart of his fiancée and the mother of his son. "[He's] nice and thick! I love it!" she said. "David is very smart and a very loving person. He's a beautiful person. [He's] very intelligent, very smart, a complete gentleman, very traditional."

The world will get its first glimpse of Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson's nearly 2-month-old son, David Jr., in an upcoming issue of People magazine. After keeping her pregnancy a virtual secret over the past year, the R&B opens up for the cover story, discussing her joy at being a mom and revealing that the little one is already taking after his dad.

For fans of reality TV, it might be hard to imagine an infant taking after David Otunga, who's built quite an interesting resume in his 29 years.

The singer's fiancé, a Harvard Law graduate, first came to prominence when he appeared as "Punk" on VH1's "I Love New York 2," where he vied for the affections of "Flavor of Love" reject Tiffany "New York" Pollard. After ending up as one of the finalists on the show in early 2008, he signed on with Florida Championship Wrestling — a development league for World Wrestling Entertainment. He made his wrestling debut this May under the name Dawson Alexander Esq. and won his first match. In keeping with his legal background, his signature finishing move is called the "Verdict."

Hudson met the Elgin, Illinois, native in 2008, and the two got engaged six months later on her 27th birthday in September, a month before the murders of her mother, brother and nephew. Otunga has yet to make a statement about the child's birth, but Hudson told People that it was easy to keep the baby a secret because she didn't show until she was seven months pregnant. As for what her hopes are for David Jr., she said the couple will, "definitely encourage education. His father is an education fanatic so we definitely want him to get an education and go to school. ... My mom always said, 'Whatever you want to do, I'll support you as long as you're happy.' So I will do the same."

After keeping her pregnancy on the down-low, Jennifer Hudson sat down with People magazine for a photo shoot with her new son, David Jr., born August 10. In the issue, set to hit newsstands on October 15, the singer opened up about what it's like to be a new mom and about her nearly two-month-old son.

"I love being nurturing and caring because I love to see other people happy," Hudson tells the magazine about her new role. "Who better to devote my time to than my own child?" In the issue, Hudson never addresses the tragic murder of her mom, brother and nephew last year, but instead talks about her baby boy. "I've never seen a baby eat like he does!" she said, adding that she loves to sing him lullabies to get him to stop crying. "He can be crying at the top of his lungs and just turn off like a switch."

She adds that even at his young age, he's already taking after his dad. "He has a lot of personality, like David. He's always been a good sleeper. His favorite time to smile now is diaper changes. Or when he spits up on you — he just cracks up like he thinks it's the funniest thing," she said. "And his bottle is his pacifier. With a pacifier, it's like he knows, 'Ain't nothing come out of here. No, I don't want that. Where's the real deal?' His best friend is that bottle; that's all he wants."

Hudson also talks about her decision to keep her pregnancy private among rumors that she was expecting. She said that it wasn't difficult since she "didn't show until I was seven months so that made it easy right there. David and I were the only people who knew for a long time," she said. "I would forget I was pregnant, it was so easy. I didn't have any morning sickness, no cravings either. I just thought, 'Oh, well, we'll wait until it'll tell on itself.' "

She did bring her mom up in the conversation when asked if she'd be comfortable letting her son go into show business as she did. Hudson said she'd support him in whatever he decides to do with his life.

"We'll definitely encourage education. His father is an education fanatic so we definitely want him to get an education and go to school," she said. "My mom always said, 'Whatever you want to do, I'll support you as long as you're happy.' So I will do the same."

To celebrate the 70th anniversary of "The Wizard of Oz" (as well as the release of a newly remastered Blu-ray version of the film), Netflix threw a party at the Rumsey Playfield in New York's Central Park that was part concert and part screening of the legendary film. Jennifer Hudson headlined the show, during which she performed songs from the movie, including a contemporary interpretation of "Over the Rainbow."

The show also featured "Dancing With the Stars" cast member Julianne Hough (who sang the Scarecrow's song "If I Only Had a Brain"), R&B crooner Bilal and Roots drummer ?uestlove, who also produced the whole show.

New York stages have been kind to Hudson recently. The former "American Idol" contestant appeared at the Brooklyn Academy of Music earlier this month for "VH1 Divas," where she performed her hit "Spotlight" and teamed up with Stevie Wonder for a run-through of his "All in Love Is Fair."

Hudson recently gave birth to her first son, who is apparently already showing signs of the Hudson music gene. "He seems like he's very interested in music already," she told People about David Daniel Otunga (named after his father, Hudson fiancé David Otunga). "The other night he was having a fit screaming, and someone turns on the music and he just stops and calms down. And I was exactly the same way as a baby."

The newly revamped VH1 Divas show is getting more divalicious with every new artist added to the already A-list lineup. The latest addition is Jennifer Hudson, who will join fellow "American Idol" alums Jordin Sparks and Kelly Clarkson for the big show on September 17, hosted by none other than former "American Idol" judge, Paula Abdul.

And as if it that weren't enough girl power for one stage, VH1 announced that Sheryl Crow, Cyndi Lauper and Melissa Etheridge will also be joining divas Miley Cyrus, Adele and Leona Lewis.

When the show airs live from the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York, the night's presenters will include Lauren Conrad, Whitney Port, Toni Braxton and Kathy Griffin. Also scheduled to appear are actor Ryan Kwanten, who plays Jason Stackhouse on "True Blood," and the cast of "Fame."

In August, Sparks talked to MTV News about how excited she was to make her Divas debut in the first such concert since one held back in 2004 in Las Vegas. "I'm so stoked," she said. "I remember hearing about the Divas shows and watching them when I could, but I usually had to go to sleep when I was in school, so I couldn't usually watch them. ... I'm so excited. It's going to be so much fun."

Sparks was also thrilled about getting the chance to see Abdul again. "I'm so excited to see her. I can't wait to give her a huge hug," she said. "I love Paula."

Jennifer Hudson gave birth to a baby boy, David Daniel Otunga, Jr., on Monday, her publicist confirmed on Tuesday (August 11). The baby, named after the Oscar-winning actress/ singer's fiance (who is also known as "Punk" from "I Love New York"), came in at 7 pounds, 14 ounces.

"The baby is beautiful and perfect," Hudson's rep said in a statement. "His parents are ecstatic."

Hudson did not publicly announce her pregnancy. Rumors began to circulate that she was expecting earlier this year when she appeared to be showing on her inaugural tour of the U.S.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the proud parents did not find out the sex of the baby in advance, so they were prepared with pink and blue clothes just in case. Hudson reportedly prepared for the birth with a baby shower in her native Chicago in May. Hudson appeared visibly pregnant last month when she performed at the memorial service for Michael Jackson.

A possible reason for the silence, the Reporter speculated, was partially due to a desire for privacy, but also perhaps superstition in the wake of the family tragedy she suffered in October, when her mother, brother and nephew were murdered in Chicago. The child was reportedly conceived a short time after the murders.

The estranged husband of Hudson's sister, William Balfour, has been charged in the murders and is awaiting trial.

Michael Jackson was many things: an amazing dancer, singer and performer; the greatest pop star the world has ever seen; a loving friend, brother and father; a humanitarian and a complex superstar who drew the world into his embrace and provided the soundtrack to millions of lives with music that will live on forever. Michael Jackson was remembered as all of those on Tuesday afternoon (July 7) at a public memorial for the singer who died on June 25 at the age of 50.

With stirring performances from peers such as Stevie Wonder and Lionel Richie; fans Usher, Mariah Carey and Jennifer Hudson; and touching reminiscences from his family and admirers, the King of Pop was memorialized in a global spectacle that the world is not likely to see again.

As the image of a sun-soaked church window filled the large screen at the arena where, just two weeks ago, Jackson was finishing up rehearsals for his planned 50-show run at the O2 Arena in London, the Andrae Crouch gospel choir sang the traditional hymn "Soon and Very soon" as the singer's gold-plated casket was brought to its resting place in a circle of light in front of the stage.

The pallbearers, including Jackson's family members, set the flower-bedecked casket down while wearing the singer's signature single sequined white glove. Applause broke out inside the Staples Center, where the mood was at turns celebratory and somber, and fans shouted "We love you, Michael!" during the pauses in the nearly three-hour long program.

Wearing a flowing black gown, Mariah Carey reprised her famous cover of the Jackson 5's "I'll Be There," joined by her longtime friend and protégé, Trey Lorenz, who sang with her on the 1992 "MTV Unplugged" performance that became a hit single for her.

Among those on hand to remember Jackson was Queen Latifah, who spoke of Jackson's power to bring people together and make them believe in themselves. She recalled buying the Jackson 5's "Dancing Machine" as a child and trying, in vain, to copy his dance moves.

	Michael Jackson's Public Memorial At Staples Center

"Michael was the biggest star on earth. He let me know that as an African-American you could travel the world ... there was a world outside America. Other people, all you people who came here to pay respect to someone you felt was one of you, a human being first," she said, her voice cracking.

Latifah then read a new verse called "We Had Him" from the great American poet Maya Angelou, whose words have stirred hearts at presidential inaugurations. "Without notice, our dear love can escape our doting embrace, sing our songs among the stars and walk our dances across the face of the moon," the poem said.

The event opened with Motown legend Smokey Robinson reading a tribute to Jackson from the singer's longtime friend and mentor, Diana Ross, and a note from former South African President Nelson Mandela as the words "In Loving Memory of Michael Jackson King of Pop 1958-2009" were beamed onto the screen behind him.

Accompanied by the gospel choir, Lionel Richie, the co-writer with Jackson of the famine-relief hit "We Are the World," looked grief-stricken at first as he sang the Commodores' spiritual "Jesus Is Love," his powerful voice rising to a crescendo at the end. Next, Motown founder Berry Gordy took the stage to honor Jackson, who he said was like a son to him. "He raised the bar and then broke the bar," Gordy said.

Praising Jackson's great vocal gifts, Gordy spoke of how Michael made history when he took the stage at the Motown 25th anniversary show in 1983 and set the world on fire with the unveiling of his iconic moonwalk step. "Michael Jackson went into orbit and never came down," Gordy said, calling him not just the King of Pop, but the "greatest entertainer that ever lived," a line that drew a huge roar from the crowd.

Los Angeles Laker All-Star Kobe Bryant honored Jackson's charitable acts. Fellow Lakers legend Magic Johnson said he became a greater basketball player by watching the singer's moves onstage and fondly remembered being asked to appear in Jackson's 1992 video for "Remember the Time."

An avowed fan and artist heavily influenced by Jackson, Usher provided an emotional take on "Gone Too Soon," passionately singing the 1993 Jackson single with gritty abandon as he laid his hand on the singer's casket and walked mournfully across the sea of flowers at the foot of the stage while a montage of vintage pictures of a smiling Jackson played behind him. Breaking down in tears at the end, the singer removed his sunglasses, was embraced by the entire Jackson family and made his way to family matriarch Katherine, kneeling down on one knee to kiss her.

Another fellow Motown peer and onetime child star Stevie Wonder said, "This is a moment that I wished that I didn't live to see come." Sitting at a piano and singing his mournfully appropriate 1971 ballad "Never Dreamed You'd Leave in Summer," he pleaded, "Michael, why didn't you stay?" midsong before segueing into another ballad, 1974's "They Won't Go When I Go."

Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson, visibly pregnant with her first child, also brought down the house with a funky, syncopated cover of Jackson's 1993 single "Will You Be There," from the "Free Willy" soundtrack and Dangerous album. As a group of dancers formed a circle around her, Hudson paused while Jackson's shaky voiceover from the original boomed out over a dramatic background, pleading, "In our darkest hour/ In my deepest despair/ Will you still care?/ Will you be there?"

In one of the day's most moving tributes, longtime friend and former child star Brooke Shields was in tears remembering the many photo captions over the years that referred to their friendship as "odd."

For the two of them, she said, "It was the most natural and easiest of friendships. ... We had a bond and maybe it was because we both understood what it was like to be in the spotlight from a very, very young age. I used to tease him and say, 'You know I started when I was 11 months old, you're a slacker ... you were, what, 5?'"

They never performed together — although she said he tried to teach her the moonwalk once — but what they did together, she said smiling, was laugh. "His laugh was the sweetest and purest laugh of anyone's I had ever known," Shields recalled.

Still wearing his single white glove, brother Jermaine Jackson then sang a tender version of his brother's favorite song, the Charlie Chaplin-penned "Smile," from the classic film "Modern Times."

It was not hard to see why Jackson, whose life was filled with so much joy mixed with utter sadness, embraced the tender ballad, which he covered on his 1995 HIStory album. "Smile though your heart is aching/ Smile even though it's breaking/ When there are clouds in the sky/ You'll get by," Jermaine sang in his keening falsetto, summing up his brother's eternal quest to push aside his sadness by trying to bring some joy to the world.

Also rousing the crowd was longtime family friend the Reverend Al Sharpton, who repeated the fiery refrain, "Michael never stopped," when talking about Jackson's many accomplishments and resiliency in the face of his many obstacles. "Because he didn't accept limitations, because he refused to let people decide his boundaries, he opened up the whole world," Sharpton thundered. "He put on one glove, pulled his pants up and broke down the color curtain. ... It was Michael Jackson that brought blacks and whites and Asians and Latinos together. It was Michael Jackson that made us sing, 'We Are the World' and feed the hungry."

Speaking to Jackson's three young children, Sharpton said pointedly, "I want his three children to know, wasn't nothin' strange about your daddy. It was strange what your daddy had to deal with, but he dealt with it," as the audience rose to their feet and the singer's sons and daughter burst into applause alongside their friends and family.

Other performers included "Britain's Got Talent" sensation Shaheen Jafargholi, reprising his take on "Who's Loving You." Kenny Ortega ("High School Musical"), who was directing Jackson's This Is It stage show, presented what he said was one of the singer's favorite moments from the show that Ortega promised would have been a triumphant comeback.

The performance of "We Are the World" by the members of Jackson's multicultural backing band was accompanied by the lyrics to the song projected, with many letters replaced by the religious icons of the world's faiths. The singers were joined by the day's other performers as well as Jackson's family, including the singer's children, and, finally, a choir of teens who sang along to the peace anthem "Heal the World."

John Mayer, who played the iconic guitar solo on Fall Out Boy's 2008 cover of Jackson's "Beat It," got the audience clapping in time to an instrumental take on "Human Nature," teasing out the song's jazzy tones with an understated performance that featured spare vocals from Jackson's backup singers.

For one day, at least, the focus turned back to Jackson's music.

Earlier in the day, Jackson's family held a private ceremony at the Forest Lawn Cemetery. A motorcade then brought Jackson's casket to the Staples Center, where it took center stage during Tuesday's celebration.

In addition to the 17,000 fans who gathered inside the Staples Center and in a viewing area next door at the Nokia Theater, the global audience for the Jackson memorial was predicted to be more than a billion.

As Jackson was the first celebrity of his magnitude to die in the modern media era, the memorial was covered like no other event in history. Fans and hundreds of international news outlets tweeted and live-blogged the proceedings in real time, bringing the world together in a way that would likely have brought joy to Jackson, whose many charitable efforts were aimed at bridging racial, ethnic and spiritual divides with songs such as "Earth Song."

The day ended with Jackson's brothers paying tribute to their sibling alongside Jackson's daughter, Paris, 11, who tearfully said, "Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine. And I just wanted to say I love him so much," collapsing in sobs into aunt Janet Jackson's arms as the ceremony came to a close and the singer's casket was wheeled back out of the Staples Center to the strains of the song that has become his theme in death, "Man in the Mirror."

In all, it was a fittingly regal sendoff for the King of Pop.

During a day of star-powered speeches and world-class performances at Michael Jackson's public memorial in Los Angeles, Oscar- and Grammy-winning singer and actress Jennifer Hudson appeared at the Staples Center in front of a packed crowd to cover one of Jackson's hits from the 1990s, "Will You Be There."

The track originally appeared on MJ's 1991 Billboard-topping album, Dangerous. The album went platinum seven times and stayed on the chart for 117 straight weeks. The biggest single, "Black or White," went platinum and also hit the top Billboard spot. But "Will You Be There" became most well-known when it appeared on the soundtrack for the 1993 movie "Free Willy," about one boy's struggle to save an orca whale. The movie grossed almost $80 million at the box office, the track reached as high as #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and went gold.

Hudson wore a knee-length white dress as she belted out a gospel-tinged version of the song. She was accompanied by backup singers performing in unison behind her. Toward the end, lyrics from the song appeared on a large screen — popping in front of a star-filled outer-space backdrop — while a recording of Jackson's own tear-soaked voice softly spoke the words:

"In my anguish and my pain/ Through my joy and my sorrow/ In the promise of another tomorrow/ I'll never let you part/ For you're always in my heart."

"We love you, Michael," Hudson said after the song drew to a close.

The public memorial service for Michael Jackson at Los Angeles' Staples Center on Tuesday will feature some of the late singer's closest collaborators, friends and fans paying tribute to the King of Pop. Among the stars expected to appear (and possibly perform) at the public event — which will take place after a private memorial earlier in the morning — are Jennifer Hudson, Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, Usher, John Mayer, Lionel Richie and Motown founder Berry Gordy, according to a statement from a spokesperson for the Jackson family.

The list does not specify which of the attendees will perform, but Carey is reportedly slated to reprise her famous cover of the Jackson song "I'll Be There" at the public ceremony and CNN has reported that Oscar-winning actress/singer Hudson will also sing at the event. Wonder was a contemporary of Jackson's on the Motown label in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Usher has often stated how influential Jackson was on his career, and Mayer performed the iconic guitar solo in "Beat It" on Fall Out Boy's 2008 cover of the song.

Among the other confirmed participants in the tribute to Jackson are Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant, "Britain's Got Talent" finalist Shaheen Jafargholi — who toured as a young MJ in the "Thriller Live" show and sang the Jackson 5 cover version of "Who's Loving You" on the "BGT" show to great acclaim — the Andrae Crouch Choir, Lakers icon Magic Johnson, Martin Luther King III, Motown legend Smokey Robinson, Jackson family friend the Reverend Al Sharpton and Jackson's longtime pal, Brooke Shields. The statement said the lineup was preliminary and subject to change, but noted that no further information will be released regarding the program before Tuesday's event.

Though she will not appear at the Los Angeles event, Madonna paid tribute to Jackson during one of her shows at the O2 Arena in London over the weekend — where Jackson was slated to kick off a 50-show run on July 13 — with one of her dancers interpreting some of the King of Pop's most famous dance moves to a medley of "Billie Jean" and "Wanna Be Startin' Something."

While those events are unfolding in Jackson's adopted home of Los Angeles, a memorial service in the singer's hometown of Gary, Indiana, is also taking shape. The Gary Post-Tribune reported that Mayor Rudy Clay has announced that another Gary-born singer, Deniece Williams, best known for her 1984 "Footloose" hit "Let's Hear It for the Boy," will be among the performers at a Friday memorial at the U.S. Steel Yard baseball stadium.

Other plans for the event include a performance from Indiana's first black Miss Indiana, Kellee Patterson, who kept in touch with Jackson after both left the city, and a 500-member choir singing "We Are the World."

MTV's live coverage of the Michael Jackson public memorial service at the Staples Center in Los Angeles will begin on Tuesday at 12 p.m. ET / 9 a.m. PT.

According to several online reports, Jennifer Hudson is several months' pregnant and held a baby shower in Chicago over the weekend. Rumors of the Oscar-and-Grammy-winning singer/actress's pregnancy have been circulating for months but have been denied by her reps. The shower was reportedly held on Saturday at a relative's home.

"It was a baby shower, a quiet gathering of friends and mostly family," singer/ actress Felicia Fields, a longtime Hudson friend, reportedly told the Chicago Tribune. "They're really trying to keep it kind of quiet."

Hudson is engaged to former reality-TV star David Otunga, who is pursuing a pro-wrestling career. The pair have not publicized their wedding date.

"It was a nice time that we had," Fields said of the shower, but declined to reveal whether Hudson received blue or pink gifts, which would reveal the baby's sex. "They don't know [the gender]. More yellow [gifts]," Fields reportedly told the Tribune.

Hudson recently postponed several dates of her tour with Robin Thicke, claiming strained vocal cords.

An "American Idol" veteran, Hudson returned to the show in mid-April, and host Ryan Seacrest asked Hudson about her engagement to Otunga. Inquiring about when the wedding will be, Hudson demurred, "It's a secret, I can't tell nobody." After Seacrest asked her to whisper it in his ear, she leaned in and joked quietly, "Ryan, they'll hear it if I tell you."
