International singing star and award-winning actress Jennifer Hudson currently has five book signings planned for her memoir I Got This: How I Changed My Ways and Lost What Weighted Me Down. The first signing comes on the book’s release date, Jan. 10, 2012. The event will be held at 12:30 p.m. at Barnes and Noble, 555 fifth Ave. at 46th St. in New York City. The book could spur some New Year's resolutions for weight loss and healthy living.
Other book appearances are planned in Los Angeles, Sklokie, Ill., Atlanta and Dallas.
Publisher Penguin Group (USA) describes the book as “a personal and inspirational memoir from the Grammy and Oscar winner.” It focuses on her transformation “as she embraced a healthy lifestyle and lost more than 80 pounds.” Hudson is currently a spokesperson for Weight Watchers.
Hudson was on the third season of American Idol before entering the Hollywood scene with a role in Dreamgirls that won her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.
