Condolences to Jennifer Hudson and her family.

Jennifer Hudson was spotted on set in NYC’s Astor Place yesterday. That’s right by my beloved place in Manhattan, Kmart. I’m joking! Ok, no I’m not.

Anyways…. Jennifer Hudson plays Carrie Bradshaw’s assistant. So far she’s the only new name in the cast.

I’ll give it two months — no wait — two weeks before someone questions why the assistant to the four rich white women is black. I hope I’m wrong, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m not.
