CHICAGO, April 24 (UPI) -- Jennifer Hudson's publicist said the U.S. singer and actress is not pregnant, contrary to Internet rumors circulating this week claiming she is.

Hudson won an Oscar for her work in the movie musical, "Dreamgirls." She has also appeared in the films "Sex and the City" and "The Secret Life of Bees," and has been enjoying a successful pop music career.

The one-time "American Idol" contender was thrust further into the media's glare late last year when her mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew were shot to death, allegedly by her sister's estranged husband.

The Chicago Sun-Times said it e-mailed Hudson's publicist, Lisa Kasteler, to ask about speculation the star sported what looked like a baby bump during a recent performance.

"Jennifer is not pregnant," Kasteler replied to the newspaper.

Hudson said last month she and her fiance, David Otunga, have set a date for their wedding, but don't plan to reveal it publicly.
