Jennifer Hudson sparks uproar over VERY awkward interview with Eddie Murphy
Jennifer Hudson has been slammed by furious fans over her very awkward interview with Eddie Murphy.
On Thursday, the actor, 64, appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show to reveal that his son, Eric, had 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 about the ceremony, her responses fell short and fans argued that she '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.
'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,' he revealed.
'Now Martin doesn't have to pay for the big wedding now.'
After his response, Jennifer, once again, asked if Eddie sang for the wedding.
'No, they didn't have a wedding!' he detailed, to which Jennifer replied: 'Oh no?'
Eddie 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.
'Will I sing at the wedding? No, I ain't singing,' he humored in the awkward back and forth.
People quickly noticed the disjointed exchange between the stars and ran to X, formerly known as Twitter, to mock Jennifer.
One user posted alongside the video, writing: 'Jennifer is a TERRIBLE HOST!'
'Lmaooo 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.'
Many other people commented in agreement.
'Omg, I didn't even notice she didn't have cards. She needs them bad!' another said.
'It's so painful to watch all the time,' a comment read.
'She doesn't listen to a single thing people say,' someone said.
'She asked him THREE times, 'Are you going to sing?' WOMAN THEY ARE ALREADY MARRIED MY GOD,' a user passionately wrote.
'You can really tell she has a list of questions and is not listening to people's answers,' a person shared.
'That's the difference between a journalist and a celebrity with a talk show,' another said.
It comes after Jennifer had another awkward exchange in an 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 neglected to do anything to push the topic forward - not even asking what scene Kesha was in.
Fans flocked to X, formerly Twitter, to share their wincing reactions to the moment, calling Jennifer a 'weird' and 'TURRIBLE interviewer' and the show 'unwatchable.'
On the show, Kesha said: 'I was an extra on Dreamgirls,' and Jennifer replied with extravagant theatricality: 'What? Really?'
'Serious, Bible,' said Kesha, putting her hand up, before quipping that she was paid about $120, to which Jennifer threw her head back and said: 'I love you.'
Kesha valiantly tried to keep the anecdote afloat, saying: 'For 16 hours I sat there with my hair teased to the gods. Oh my God, I - no offense - I hated it.'
The TikTok hitmaker still received no help from Jennifer in keeping the conversation moving, so she lamely trailed off: 'Y'all were amazing, we were just - an extra in a scene, it was a big auditorium, downtown LA.'

This is how much it costs to get the Lauren Sanchez look
She's a one-time astronaut, trained pilot, entrepreneur, mother of three, and former television presenter, and 55-year-old Lauren Sánchez is set to make (more) headlines next week when she becomes the second Mrs Bezos. Fresh off her glamorous, no-expenses-spared hen do in Paris, where she and attendees – including Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry and Eva Longoria – stayed at the glitzy Hôtel Cheval Blanc, Sánchez is getting ready to tie the knot to Bezos, the third richest man in the world, in Venice. But who is the woman behind the headlines? Born and raised in Albuquerque New Mexico, she was a key member of the cheerleading squad, former beauty pageant queen and innately glamorous, kind and confident – according to those who knew her in her youth. Old photos showcase (typically 1980s) voluminous, flicked hair, a honed but curvaceous physique and killer tan, not to mention a rather bewitching glare. However, it was during her 20-year career as a TV presenter and news reporter – where gigs included So You Think You Can Dance and Good Day LA – when her beauty aesthetic really evolved from small-town beauty to glamazon. Renowned for her fierce Fox news presenter glam (think glossy blow dries, heavily-shadowed eyes and a dazzling smile) she is a symbol of a very specific American look, where visits to one's aesthetic doctor – whether for laser treatment or injectables – are non-negotiable. Her look has certainly changed over the years, with rumours swirling over various treatments she may or may not have had done since the early Noughties. It is any bride's prerogative to indulge in all her favourite treatments in the lead up to the big day, so here we take a look at those Sánchez seems to like. The tan: £250 'If Lauren Sánchez is wearing a spray tan in recent photos, it's been executed to perfection,' says James Harknett, tanner to the stars, including Daisy Edgar-Jones, Kylie Minogue and Demi Moore, adding that it is expertly colour matched. 'High-profile clients expect a bespoke tan that looks like their skin, but richer. I carry more than 30 different formulas to tailor the result, but Three Warriors do one that is flattering on most skin tones.' Many well known faces have someone come to their home, the price for which is between £150 and £250. The tweakments: £1,050 Just like many of the experts consulted for this story, Dr Sophie Shotter – who is known for her natural-looking tweakments – notes that Sánchez's face looks structurally different from 10 years ago. 'Now she looks more fierce,' she says, adding that this might be as a result of surgery or injectables, like dermal filler – which costs about £650 for a syringe with Dr Shotter – in her cheeks and lips. 'She's clearly looking after her skin and I suspect she's had smatterings of muscle-relaxing injections, such as Botox [costing about £400], too – she looks really fresh,' adds Dr Shotter. The teeth: £26,000 Sánchez has an eye-catching set of pearly whites – uniform and symmetrical, dentist Dr Sam Jethwa of Bespoke Smile says it's relatively uncommon to see teeth quite so perfect without cosmetic enhancement. 'Her teeth have a glossy finish which suggests she may have veneers – these are thin porcelain shells that are placed over the front of natural teeth,' he explains. 'They can enhance the shade of the smile, create balance and facial harmony and correct imperfections such as chips, cracks, and uneven edges.' Veneers with Dr Jethwa will set you back around £1,350 to £1,630 per tooth. The nails: £700 She prefers to keep things neutral on her nails – chunky French manicures and pearlescent nudes. Tom Bachik, who also regularly works with Selena Gomez and Jennifer Lopez, is her go-to manicurist; the pair have worked together on a number of nail looks, with one of the most notable being a 'pink glass slipper mani' for the 2024 Met Gala. Feminine and elegant, the look evoked 'sheer iridescent glass' while drawing attention to two rather show-stopping diamonds on her fingers. While an appointment with a technician like Bachik is hard to put a price on, the most luxurious manicures in the UK can reach £700. The workout: £120 In a 2023 interview with Vogue, Sánchez revealed that she works out with the newly-muscled Bezos, calling him a 'monster in the gym'. She has shared videos of her own workouts – often with trainer Wes Okerson, who is a Hyrox athlete (competing in running and functional training workouts – not for the faint-hearted) and personal trainer. The pair do a lot of resistance training (including Nordic hamstring curls and dumbbell squat presses) to build muscle, which isn't just essential for a lean, strong physique, but good health too. £120 is the going rate for a luxury personal training session in London. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lauren Sanchez (@laurenwsanchez) The hair: £870 Favouring long, swishy brunette lengths, Sánchez turns to hair pro Pete Burkill for her cut and colour. With clients including Anna Kendrick, Millie Bobby Brown and Sánchez's friend Natasha Poonawalla, Burkill recently took her raven lengths to a more sun-kissed shade, with stealthily-placed highlights and balayage. An age-old colourist hack to bring luminosity to the skin and frame key facial features, Sánchez's new look is perfect for summer – and, of course, for getting wed. A full head balayage and tint with Burkill at Josh Wood Salon (where he works part time) costs £575, while a cut and blow dry is £295. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lauren Sanchez (@laurenwsanchez) The cosmetic work: £24,000 Experts agree that Sánchez appears to have had facial and breast cosmetic surgery. 'When comparing earlier and more recent images, there are features suggestive of facial rejuvenation procedures,' says the cosmetic surgeon Patrick Mallucci. 'Her facial structure would suggest she's had a mid-face lift with brow lifting and rhinoplasty.' One of her close friends, Kris Jenner, 69, recently paid an estimated £100,000 for a facelift, and while the jury is out on whether Sánchez has had one too, prices for a mid-face lift in the UK can reach £15,000. Famed for his natural approach to breast augmentation, Mallucci also notes that she's had breast surgery, opting for a 'fuller, more obvious look, with round-shaped implants'. While today patients tend to opt for a more natural aesthetic, with smaller or teardrop-shaped implants, the full cleavage look is more popular in the US. In London, breast augmentation typically ranges from £8,000 to £9,000, however for a surgeon with extensive experience and a highly specialised approach, like Mr Mallucci, fees are considerably higher. The make-up: £843 Turning to Buster Knight – whose clients also include Jenner and Paris Hilton – for her glam, Sánchez favours flawless skin, a nude lip and defined eyes. You'll often find her sporting a diffused feline flick and set of ultra fluttery lashes, whether at the Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda show last year or Cannes Film Festival. Knight has credited the Dr Sebagh Rose de Vie skincare range (the serum is £132) and Dr Vali's Cutis micro-contouring tool (£625) to 'get red carpet snatched' before make-up application, while her base make-up often comes courtesy of Armani Beauty's Luminous Silk Foundation (£47) and Concealer (£39). View this post on Instagram A post shared by Buster Knight🧿 (@busterknight) The other beauty treatments: £955 With a killer set of brows, it's likely that Sánchez gets her brows threaded regularly (costing £95 a session with Anu Khapung at The Dorchester). She is also a fan of lash extensions, £360 for an hour with Edy London, preferring a feathery, full effect – faux lashes are individually applied to natural hairs to create a semi-permanent look, no mascara needed. And then there are facials; with her even-toned complexion and fresh appearance, Sánchez is likely to have them regularly. Whether sculpting face massage, microneedling or LED light therapy, the UK's top London facialists combine a multitude of different modalities, for prices that can reach more than £500 for an hour appointment.

Harvard professor reveals the one sign that your relationship will last a lifetime
A Harvard professor who studied love for more than two decades has revealed the secret behind a long-lasting relationship - and it's nothing to do with romantic passion. Arthur Brooks, a social science expert, appeared on The Drive podcast with Peter Attia MD and the pair shared the signs that a relationship will last a lifetime. The pro explained that the key is finding a partner who is also your best friend - as the bond will remain even as the initial chemistry sizzles. 'One of the most important things for a happy life is a partnership with somebody who will be the last person who you set eyes on as you take your last dying breath, that is really, really important,' he explained. 'The goal of your marriage is not passion, it's friendship. This is the goal, you must be close friends, ideally best friends, with your spouse. 'I'm going to be with my wife Ester until death do us part, that has to be the juice of the relationship where the love actually makes happiness and love is truly the great secret to happiness.' He said that there are also a couple of indicators that a marriage may end in divorce - including people who feel lonely in their relationship. Arthur used the example of 'empty nest syndrome' which refers to parents experiencing sadness or distress when their children have grown into adults and moved out of the family home. He said: 'The people who suffer the most from empty nest syndrome is not the empty nest it's the fact that they are with one other bird and they don't really like that bird.' Arthur said that when two people have been together for a long time it can be normal - and even 'advisable' - that their passion levels are not as high as when they were fresh into their relationship. He described lacking intimacy levels as 'healthy, normal and actually advisable because it's more sustainable in the long run'. 'But some people are very happy and don't have that. What do they have in common? Very, very close personal lifelong friends,' the professor continued. 'Here is the key, if you don't have a spouse you need real friends. These are people who know your secrets, take your 2am phone call and that you talk to a lot.' However, Arthur also said that it is still very important to ensure that you upkeep friendships with others even if you are in a marriage; adding that men are usually worse at keeping in touch with their pals. 'You've got to work on these things for sure for a lot of reasons besides the fact that it's just healthy and good. You might, at some point, be left alone if you're widowed. You don't want to be alone under those circumstances. 'That is one of the reasons why men do so poorly when they lose their wives because a lot of them don't have real friendships.' The expert added that one of the red flags a marriage will end in separation is when a couple only have their children in common and nothing else. 'A companion in love that is your wife that turns out to be much more indicative of your happiness than actually having a relationship with your kids because your kids are turning into different people every year - that's super fun and interesting but that is not the key,' Arthur said. 'One of the greatest predictors of divorce is partners who are lonely while living together and this [means] that the only thing you have in common is your kids. '[When] that one point of commonality disappears and you're sitting across the table blinking at each other during dinner and not talking because you literally have nothing to talk about.' To prevent this from happening, Arthur said that it is important for married couples to partake in activities together, whether that is reading the same book, playing the same sports or even practicing the same religion to keep their bond strong and allow them to have things in common. He remarked: 'They should develop philosophical interests in common, they're talking about deep things. 'There's got to be something bigger than "Did you change his diaper?" because that's not going to be in common forever and you're going to be lonely in your relationship.'
