Jennifer Hudson is adding another title to her name.  According to “The Hollywood Reporter,” the Oscar-winning actress and Grammy-winning singer has signed a deal to write a memoir about her struggles with weight.  When she first entered the spotlight on the third season of “American Idol,” Hudson was sometimes referred to as “the big girl.”  She then went on to gain more than 20 pounds for her role in “Dreamgirls,” which earned Hudson an Academy Award.  Jennifer later signed on as a spokeswoman for Weight Watchers and dropped ten dress sizes from a size 16 to a size six.  She recently told “People” magazine she was in the “best shape of [her] life.”  Hudson’s new book doesn’t have a title yet, but it is expected to hit shelves in January 2012.
