LOS ANGELES - Oscar winner and former “American Idol�?contestant Jennifer Hudson will sing at the Democratic National Convention at the request of Barack Obama.
Access Hollywood has learned exclusively that Obama asked the singer to perform the National Anthem Thursday night in Denver when he formally accepts the party’s nomination.
An appearance at the convention is one of the many things keeping Hudson busy. She will release her self-titled debut album, “Jennifer Hudson,�?on Sept. 30, followed by the release of her new film, “The Secret Life of Bees,�?opposite Queen Latifah, Alicia Keys and Dakota Fanning on Oct. 17.
 Peter Kramer / AP file Singer Jennifer Hudson has a new album and a new movie coming soon, but before that she'll take the national stage at the Democratic Convention. |
