Star Jones Shocked By Jennifer Hudson’s ‘Idol’ Elimination

‘The View’ co-host Star Jones, one of ‘American Idol’s’ most public supporters, told The New York Post she was shocked by the elimination of Jennifer Hudson from Wednesday’s show. “I could not believe what the vote actually was,” Jones said. “The young girl [Jennifer] who got dumped off was absolutely the best of the night. Clearly it’s based on popularity. Little girls vote for cute boys they wanna date… they’re voting on popularity, and I get that – but it doesn’t make it any easier to swallow.”
