MUSIC
+ VH1 can stop looking: Jennifer Hudson is having the best year ever. As
her Oprah-lauded film debut in Dreamgirls nears theaters, the American
Idol castoff signed with Arista Records to work with the golden-eared
Clive Davis next year on a new album. ''I'd love to create blended
music,'' says Hudson, ''something that is both old soul and new grooves.''
And, we hope, divatastic!
TELEVISION
+ After seven seasons (and one truly dubious marital decision) on
Gilmore Girls, Lauren Graham will move behind the scenes to exec-produce
Objects of Desire at The CW. ''It's a drama that takes place in the
art-auction world,'' she says, ''sort of marrying my love of Antiques
Roadshow and The O.C.'' (Finally!) She's also developing a comedy pilot
''like My Name Is Earl at a Baptist church,'' says Graham, who then jokes,
''Actually, don't say that, because my grandmother, if she sees the word
Baptist, will have a complete meltdown.'' Now that would be some good TV.
