Jennifer Hudson's new reality: She's engaged to David Otunga

Jenniferhudson

Is Jennifer Hudson's life turning into a reality show?

The "American Idol" contestant just got engaged Friday night -- on her birthday -- to her boyfriend (of less than a year) David Otunga, also a reality TV star. Of sorts.

You may recall David Otunga, or you may not, from his appearance last year as "Punk" in the VH1 reality show "I Love New York 2."

If you watched the show, then you know that the Oscar-winning "Dreamgirls" actress is going to marry a guy who was rejected on the show by a woman named New York who was also rejected -- twice -- by Flavor Flav on his own reality love show called "Flavor of Love."

Ouch.

Maybe Hudson knows all too well the intricate and secretly scripted play-to-the-camera aspects of reality TV. Maybe that's why she's not bothered by New York rejecting her fiance.

Jen's got a lot going on in her life right now. She's engaged, has a wedding to plan, has a new album out and her new movie, "The Secret Life of Bees," is due in theaters Oct. 17.

To see Jennifer's hot new fiance doing some bench presses, watch this video excerpt from "I Love New York 2."

Jennifer what happen to you boyfriend of 8 years and not getting involved with the rat race of hollywood, girl don't be no fool. go home and find James the Jaintor. I promise you will be happier in a long run. Stop following those Hollywood fools like beyonce.

I think that she is jumping into this relationship a little to fast. She just broke up with James

I think this is crazy Jennifer you have too much going on for you what happen to her childhood sweetheart.. he is just looking for a gold mine.. oh my gosh don't marry him get someone on your level not reality tv looking for a break through come on with New York,, oh gosh he is not a strong black man..

Good luck. What happen to your old boyfriend James?

Jen, PRENUP PLEASE. be careful. For some reason, this guy makes me worry about you. You are a nice girl. Harvard Law School? I don't think so.

jennifer, i hate to be so honest but he's too hot and smart for u and he'll sooner or later dump u for someone better. u r just a stepping stone for him... a way to get in the spotlight. it's called karma. what u did to james payton will happen to u too. i promise u!!! american idol got u said that u were "abused" and "brainwashed." james supported u all these years and u left him for other men TWICE! it's not good to bite the hands that feed u. don't forget ur past, woman
