Still Mourning, Hudson Gives Ad Go-Ahead

Singer shot photos before the slayings

(Newser) – The timing isn't the best, but Jennifer Hudson has given her blessing to the inclusion of her photo in a new Gap ad, E! Online reports. The holiday ad campaign, conceived and photographed before the murders of her mother, brother, and 7-year-old nephew, features the Academy Award-winner looking cheery in a red sweater.

"She said she wanted to be a part of it and that we should move forward," a Gap spokesperson said.
