Jennifer Hudson slammed by fans for VERY awkward interview with Eddie Murphy
On Thursday, the actor, 64, appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show and revealed that his son, Eric, has secretly married.
The proud dad said Eric had wed long-time friend Martin Lawrence's daughter Jasmin after four years of dating.
However, during Jennifer's interview fans felt her responses fell short and some argued he 'didn't listen' to his answers.
Jennifer, 43, started by asking Eddie: 'Are you going to sing at your son's… Or is it your daughter's wedding, right?'
Eddie quickly responded that it was his son who had actually gotten married two weeks prior.
He said: 'They went off. Everybody was making the big wedding plans, then they decided they wanted to do something quiet, with just the two of them, and they got married.'
Eddie continued: 'Now Martin doesn't have to pay for the big wedding now.'
After his response, Jennifer again asked if he sang for the wedding.
He answered: 'No, they didn't have a wedding!'
Jennifer replied: 'Oh no?'
The actor continued: 'No, they went off and got married in the church. They just had the two of them and the preacher. They had a quiet little thing.
'I think we'll have a big party or something, they ran off and got married.'
Jennifer then asked if the comedian would sing at the future party.
He humored the awkward chat and responded: 'Will I sing at the wedding? No, I ain't singing.'
People quickly remarked about the disjointed exchange on X.
One user wrote: 'Jennifer is a TERRIBLE HOST!'
Another said: 'Lmao it's actually incredible how bad she is. The man said they went off just the two of them went off and got married.
'She's gonna then ask him, "Did you sing at the wedding." Baby, pay attention, omg.'
Several other people commented in agreement.
One said: 'Omg, I didn't even notice she didn't have cards. She needs them bad!'
Another added: 'It's so painful to watch all the time.'
A final viewer wrote: 'That's the difference between a journalist and a celebrity with a talk show.'
The criticism comes after Jennifer had a previously awkward interview with singer Kesha.
In May, Kesha excitedly shared that she had been an extra in Dreamgirls, the 2006 movie that catapulted Jennifer to stardom and won her an Academy Award.
After reacting with what seemed like exaggerated shock, Jennifer did nothing to push the topic forward and didn't even ask what scene the singer was in.
On the show, Kesha said: 'I was an extra on Dreamgirls.'
Jennifer replied with extravagant theatricality: 'What? Really?'
Kesha tried to keep the anecdote afloat and said: 'For 16 hours I sat there with my hair teased to the gods. Oh my God, I - no offense - I hated it.'

Is this Netflix's sexiest show ever? The Hunting Wives - a murder mystery featuring MAGA women having lesbian romps - leaves viewers hot and bothered
A new Netflix series 'where every single scene ends with someone having sex or masturbating' is set to challenge Disney's 'bonkbuster' Rivals as the sexiest show on TV. Like last year's surprise hit, The Hunting Wives is also adapted from a bestselling book and features several sex scenes that are guaranteed to set pulses racing - and probably best enjoyed alone. The eight-part series is based on American author May Cobb's erotic thriller of the same name and adapted by Rebecca Cutler, who revealed she was in 'awe of its flagrant horniness'. This has translated into a show that doesn't shy away from full-frontal nudity, messy, no-holds-barred sex, and steamy makeout sessions that have earned The Hunting Wives comparisons to Big Little Lies and Desperate Housewives, as well as Disney's smash hit Rivals. The Hunting Wives premiered in the US on July 21 as viewers were introduced to its protagonist Sophie O'Neill (Brittany Snow) as she relocates to deep red Texas from Boston with her husband Graham (Evan Jonigkeit). She finds herself embroiled in the lives of a mysterious and exclusive group of gun-toting MAGA women dubbed The Hunting Wives. Among them is Margo (Malin Ackerman) who lures Sophie into their world of sex, scandal, and salacious gossip. Margo and her husband, Texas governor hopeful Jed, have an open relationship that allows the high-flying socialite room to have flings with inappropriately younger guys such as the barely-legal Brad (George Ferrier) and also women like her friend Callie (Jaime Ray Newman). Soon then, she sets her sights on Sophie as the duo come together for one of the series's most graphic scenes. In the third episode, Margo and Sophie strip off for a very raunchy, lesbian love-making scene as Brittany's character performs oral sex on Margo. Malin previously spoke about her 'wild' role in the series, admitting: 'I love roles like this.' 'Women who are just big and free and wild', she told The Post. The 27 Dresses star added: 'This show is saucy and fun, and I love veering away from who I am in real life, which is a people pleaser, and stepping into something that's a bit more queen bee, leader of the pack. It was amazing.' Speaking about the steamy sex scenes with Brittany, Malin said the atmosphere was 'playful'. 'I'm so glad it was with her, and we felt so comfortable with each other. We'd become really good friends — and how lucky that we did end up getting along', she added. In her review, Forbes critic Dana Feldman noted there hasn't been a 'book-to-screen adaptation this salacious' since British author E.L. James's erotic romance novel Fifty Shades of Grey. Discussing the show on Reddit after it premiered stateside, one Netflix viewer compared it to a '90s soft core' porn film but with 'incredible actors and production value'. Another wrote: 'I just started this series. Seeing Malin Akerman naked in the first 5 minutes was an unexpected surprise. I'm locked in now! And so is my husband LOL!' A third added that the TV show is even 'more erotic' than Cobb's book because it gives Sophie 'more agency in her relationship with Margo'. One Reddit user confessed she felt like a 'creep for watching it on my tablet' so that her children wouldn't catch her 'watching porn'. 'As I recall in the book the only sexual encounter between the two comes near the end and occurs only because Sophie's drink was spiked,' they explained. 'In the series, when Margot initiates intimacy, Sophie responds in the affirmative and enthusiastically so. I found that depiction far more erotic than in the novel. The book's official synopsis reads: 'Sophie O'Neill left behind the stressful, competitive life of big-city Chicago to settle down with her husband and young son in a small Texas town. 'It seems like the perfect life but Sophie soon becomes bored and restless. Then she meets Margot Banks, an alluring socialite who is part of an elite clique secretly known as the Hunting Wives. 'Sophie finds herself completely drawn to Margot and swept into her mysterious world of late-night target practice and dangerous partying. 'As Sophie's curiosity gives way to full-blown obsession, she slips farther away from the safety of her family and deeper into this nest of vipers. 'When the body of a teenage girl is discovered in the woods where the Hunting Wives meet, Sophie finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation and her life spiralling out of control.'

Woman spends £73k to become Barbie but is told she looks ‘awful' and ‘ugly' – her ‘before' photo will leave you stunned
A WOMAN has revealed that she has splashed more than £73,000 to look like a real life Barbie doll. Marcela Iglesias, 47, who is from Buenos Aires and lives in Los Angeles, is obsessed with looking young and has not only had plastic surgery, but also goes for regular Botox and filler appointments too. 6 6 6 6 But since going public with her plastic look, social media users have been left totally stunned after seeing her 'before' photo. Revealing all to Truly on an episode of Hooked on the Look, the blonde beauty, who has been dubbed a 'human Barbie', explained: "I have spent between Botox, fillers, injections, surgery, tanning, hair, make-up, around $100,000 [£73,639]." Reflecting on her desire to look like the popular children's doll, Marcela, who began getting Botox in 2012 and had her breasts done in 2022, said: 'All my life, I've been trying to look like a doll. "I wanna emulate Barbie, she's my idol. I believe I can be anything I want. 'The reason that I wanted to emulate the Barbie doll is that my mother never bought me a Barbie doll. She disliked the doll. 'I love the aesthetics of the doll and wanted to look like her, not because I wasn't secure, it's just about how I perceived the doll aesthetically.' But the mum 's unique look attracts attention wherever she goes and online, she can be subject to cruel comments. She shared: "I get a lot of judgment. In the beginning it kind of bothered me. "The things they said, 'you look awful, you look ugly, you don't look like a Barbie'. 'It took me a while to process the bad comments and that people will be mean no matter what." Moment Olivia Attwood gasps 'oh my god' as Price Of Perfection star reveals incredible before and after surgery pics after £250k makeover But not ready to stop with her transformation, Marcela's next plan is butt implants, as she expressed her desire to make her derrière rounder. Reflecting on her journey, the influencer summarised: "Obviously Barbie is the icon of the dolls, but I also wanted to bring my own version to the look." Clapping back to those who dislike her look, Marcela snapped: 'They should not be judging, they should look in the mirror and judge themselves first, rather than judge somebody self.' But YouTube users were stunned by Marcela's look and many rushed to the comments to share their thoughts, with trolls out in full force. What are the risks of getting surgery abroad? IT'S important to do your research if you're thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad. It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the potential risks. Safety standards in different countries may not be as high. No surgery is risk-free. Complications can happen after surgery in the UK or abroad. If you have complications after an operation in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up treatment. Overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK. Also, they may not have a healthcare professional in the UK you can visit if you have any problems. Source: NHS One person said: 'Where do these people get money to do these things and live the lavish lifestyle. They seem to have more money than sense.' Another added: 'She was 100000000 times better natural!' A third commented: 'She was so beautiful before the operations.' Meanwhile, someone else penned: 'Her face doesn't look like a Barbie at all.' At the same time, someone else wondered: 'Why would anyone want to look plastic? "Girl, you need to stop the surgery and pay for a good therapist.'
