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.

SMASHing news: Smash exed 4 characters

Ellis and Dev will finally get what they deserve.

Jaime Cepero, who plays Ellis in NBC's Smash, has been reported to be one of the four characters in the show to be axed. Ellis was last seen getting fired by his boss for being an asshole. Looks like the most hated character in the said musical series won't be having his revenge after all. 

Another character to be axed in Smash is Dev, played by Raza Jaffrey. This means that Karen's cheating ex-boyfriend won't be forgiven and will leave New York for good to pursue his political career.

SMASH: The Verdict

SMASH is a musical series about the drama behind the curtains of a fictional musical called "Bombshell". "Smash" is a show-within-a-show vehicle about a group of people who come together to put on a Broadway musical. The Steven Spielberg musical drama, revolves around a cross section of characters who come together to mount a Broadway musical inspired by silver screen icon Marilyn Monroe.  It centers around Karen Cartwright, played by American Idol 5's runner up Katharine McPhee, as she fights for the lead role of Marilyn Monroe against a Broadway professional Ivy Lynn - played by real life Broadway star Megan Hilty.
