Although Jennifer Hudson was born and raised in the state where he held the senate seat, she didn’t get the calling to sing at the presidential inauguration for Barack Obama, an appointment that eventually went to Dreamgirl star, Beyonce. But Jennifer has definitely bagged the hot spot at this weekend’s big event, The SuperBowl in Tampa, Florida.

The Golden Globe winning actress has been out of the public eye since the fatal shootings of her mother, brother and her 7 year old nephew last October in Chicago.

But now the, other, DreamGirl star has been tempted out into the public arena with offer to deliver the national anthem on February 1^st 2009 when Arizona Cardinals meet the Pittsburgh Steelers when they battle it out on the football field to take home the silver wear for 2009.

With 2008 being probably the worst year of Hudson’s life, 2009 is looking to be a whole let better as she lines up for four nominations at the Grammy Awards on February 8^th 2009.
