So much for that diet, Jennifer Hudson. Burger King has awarded the Oscar winner a lifetime all-you- can-eat pass good at any of its fast-food restaurants. The pass was offered after Hudson responded to Simon Cowell’s claim she should thank “American Idol” for her acting success. “If I’d been any better at my job when I was at Burger King in my middle teens, I wouldn’t be here either, so should I thank them too?” Hudson said in a statement, reported by tmz.com. Hudson worked at a Chicago Burger King when she was 16.
Speaking of Burger King: When paparazzi followed Ryan Phillippe into a Santa Monica restaurant, the actor hurled a Whopper at them, the New York Daily News wrote. Want fries with that?
More burgers: Colin Farrell recently drove up to the Hollywood In-N-Out Burger with his former girlfriend Kim Bordenave and their toddler son James, according to janetcharltonshollywood.com.

Britney Spears is a Coke fiend. Since going into rehab, Spears has been drinking 24 cans of Coca-Cola a day, Star magazine reported. The tabloid also reports Spears “has a seriously bad attitude problem,” an insider said. Hey, anybody would have an attitude problem after drinking a case of Coke.

No truth that a rep said Jay-Z and Cristal are “just friends.”
