Both "Idol Alumns" will have TV Holiday Specials
Jennifer Hudson will host her very own Christmas special on ABC in December. No specific date for the special to air has been set yet:
The former “American Idol”-turned-Oscar-and-Grammy winner will host the holiday music special, “Jennifer Hudson: I’ll Be Home For Christmas” in December on the network, Access Hollywood has learned.
The one-hour special, which will take place in Hudson’s hometown of Chicago, will follow the star as she “relives her childhood Christmases with musical performances shot on location at the small neighborhood church where she brought the congregation to its feet week after week; the music academy where she studied; and other Chicago sites,” ABC said in a press release.
Hudson will also visit with family and “childhood friends and others whose influences have been instrumental in her rise from humble beginnings to Hollywood stardom.”
Jennifer, so far, has refused to talk about the murders of her mother, brother and nephew last year (the one year anniversary of those horrific murders are coming up). But, she’ll be re-visiting childhood memories for a TV special?
The special should be filled with some very emotional moments!
Carrie is also set to star in her own holiday variety special for FOX with Producer, film director, choreographer and So You Think You Can Dance judge, Adam Shankman who he will be co-producing with Nigel Lythoe and directing her special.
cant wait!
