Jennifer Hudson: "Winnie" Trailer

Looks like Jennifer Hudson might be nudging the Academy again pretty soon. The young singer is starring as Winnie Mandela in the upcoming biopic Winnie alongside Terrence Howard who plays her husband and celebrated South African activist Nelson Mandela. The film is due to hit the festival circle in early 2011, but peep the trailer below.

Quincy Jones and Amy Winehouse "It's My Party"

"It's my party and I'll cry if I want to," Amy Winehouse soulfully slurs in a remake of Lesley Gore's 1963 hit. But, is her drawl the product of creative spin or the side effect of her semi-synthetic highs? Either way, the re-interpretation produced by Mark Ronson and off Quncy Jones's forthcoming album Q: Soul Bossa Nostra shimmers with a fresh take on the era.

Look out for Quincy Jones's Q: Soul Bossa Nostra featuring Akon, Jamie Foxx, John Legend, Jennifer Hudson, Mary J. Blige and others on November 9th.
