The Chicago Tribune has confirmed that the Jennifer Hudson pregnancy rumors are true.

“It was a baby shower, a quiet gathering of friends and mostly family,” singer/actress Felicia Fields, a longtime Hudson friend, said of Saturday’s get-together in a relative’s home. “They’re really trying to keep it kind of quiet.”

Jen’s agent has denied the rumor…but they always do that, don’t they?

“It was a nice time that we had,” Fields said of the shower. She didn’t want to get into when the baby is due, but speculation is that Hudson is many months along—an impression bolstered by her appearance of late.

Rumors have been floating around for a few days that Jennifer Hudson might be expecting her first baby…Essence.com says she is most def knocked up but her people still deny the rumors.

While her manager and publicist deny the rumors, two sources close to the Oscar and Grammy winner confirm exclusively to ESSENCE.com that she is indeed expecting. This would be the first child for Hudson.

Hudson, who is currently receiving rave reviews while on tour with Robin Thicke, is engaged to David Otunga, a Harvard Law graduate and former contestant on “I Love New York 2.” The couple plans to marry sometime soon, but hasn’t confirmed a wedding date.

The Chicago police believe they have found the body of Julian King in an abandoned white SUV just 14 miles away from the original crime scene. Jennifer Hudson’s nephew has been missing since Friday when her mother and brother were shot to death in their home.

Authorities issued an Amber Alert for the 7-year-old and were looking for a 1994 white Chevrolet Suburban. The Oscar-winning actress offered a $100,000 reward for his safe return.

The Cook County medical examiner’s office has sent investigators to the scene in the 1300 block of South Kolin, where the boy was found around 8 a.m. today, an office spokesman said.

Jennifer Hudson is making history as the first African-American singer to grace the cover of US Vogue. I cannot believe how remiss the fashion forward – snotty pants Vogue editors have been in showcasing the amazingly talented and beautiful African-American women in this country. Can you believe that Jennifer is only the THIRD African-American woman to ever be on the cover of Vogue, following in the footsteps of Oprah Winfrey and Halle Berry.

Hudson’s cover photo was shot by the amazing Annie Leibovitz at Harlem’s Apollo Theater in NY and will be published in the March 2007 annual Power Issue.

Hey Anna Wintour…get your head out of those skinny white models asses and join in this century.
