You can't keep a good Idol down!
Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson is in final negotiations to join the cast of the Sex and the City movie as Carrie Bradshaw's (Sarah Jessica Parker) assistant. This is a great opportunity for the Dreamgirl, since the film is sure to have massive publicity.
Meanwhile, Season 4 finalist Anwar Robinson will join the touring cast of Rent this fall in the role of Tom Collins. He will be joined on the tour by Heinz Winckler, who won the South African version of the show.
Speaking of Rent, there is a very candid interview with Season 1 finalist Tamyra Gray, who is currently starring as Mimi in the Broadway version of the show, up at Broadway.com. She talks about being back on Broadway, Kelly Clarkson, and how she never wanted to win Idol. Click here for the interview -- it's a good read (if I do say so myself!)

Thanks for the great info on the new projects that Jennifer and Anwar are involved in. I've also recently found out that Anwar has a great story in the new book Chicken Soup for the American Idol Soul. If you haven't read it yet, you should check it out. I'd love to come back and read a review in one of your posts sometime! Cheers!
