Jennifer
Hudson
has
been
given
an
all-you-can-eat-free-for-life
card
by
Burger
King.
The
Oscar-winning
actress
responded
to
criticism
from
'American
Idol'
judge
Simon
Cowell
for
not
thanking
the
show
in
her
acceptance
speech
-
on
which
she
was
a
contestant
-
by
asking
if
she
should
also
have
thanked
the
fast
food
chain
where
she
once
worked.
Jennifer
snapped:
"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?" Burger
King
has
now
released
a
statement,
saying:
"In
response
to
Jennifer's
recent
comments
in
which
she
asked
if
she
should
be
thanking
Burger
King,
we
say
thanks
but
no
thanks
are
necessary.
Burger
King
Corporation
is
proud
of
Jennifer's
success
and
while
we
never
like
to
lose
employees,
in
this
case,
our
loss
is
the
entertainment
industry's
gain.
It added "To further show our support for Jennifer, and make sure she never has to sing for her supper again, Burger King Corporation is giving her a pre-paid BK Crown Card that will be automatically reloaded for life." The 'Dreamgirls' star's first job was at a Chicago Burger King when she was 16. Jennifer claims she sang while working on the drive-through counter and flipping burgers.
