Jennifer Hudson will come to SMASH

Another American Idol alum joins the casts of SMASH.

Jennifer Hudson, season 3's 7th placer, has been reported to be joining the fun casts of SMASH for the show's second season.

The Oscar and Grammy winning actress/singer will appear in a multi-episode arc, and will play a "Tony winning Broadway star who's able to reach her dreams but unfortunately paid the price for it".

Hudson's character - Veronica - will affect the lives of Ivy and Karen... big time.

Is she a friend? or a foe?

Let's just hope that SMASH will not give too much focus on th guest stars department rather than improving  on their character and plot development.

Smash season 2 is set to premier on January 2013 on NBC.
