TweetI love me some Jennifer Hudson! Ever since she entered the scene on American Idol and then stole the show in the movie Dreamgirls, I have been a constant J-Hud supporter. Jennifer is a proud Chicago native and makes no bones about her somewhat humble and meager beginnings growing up in the rough side of city. She teamed up with mega quick market giant 7-Eleven to support ‘A Cup With A Cause’, an effort spearheaded by the chain. ‘A Cup With A Cause’ is a campaign in which celebrities and entertainers actually create a unique coffee cup design which is sold in the 7-Eleven stores. Each time ‘A Cup With A Cause’ is purchased, proceeds are given to the charity of the celebrity’s choosing and 7-Eleven donates $200,0000 to that specific organization. For more information about ‘A Cup With A Cause’, click HERE. Below are a few pictures of the fabulous Jennifer Hudson where ...
