Remeber a little while ago we reported that Aretha wanted Halle to play the leading role in the Aretha Franklin biopic that is in the works…Halle declined the part to play Aretha, but Jenn Hudson says she’d love to play the part and thinks she’s a perfect fit for the role.

Jenn took time to talk about the flick and this is what she had to say:

“I’ve been hearing a lot [of talk] about this lately. We met a couple of years ago actually, about I don’t know what, but if I get that opportunity I would love to do it.”

Not only that, but Hudson will be performing an Aretha song as a tribute at this year’s Grammys.

Here’s what she had to say about that:

“Aretha called me out of the blue last Friday and we were chatting on the phone and I told her. She was trying to get an idea of what was going on; she knows what’s going on at the Grammys. [She] has had such an influence on the music industry and me personally and everybody… and so we’re just celebrating that… and I’m just honored to be able to sing one of her songs.”

I can’t wait to she J-Hud on the Grammy’s!!!!
