JENNIFER HUDSON NEW FACE OF AVON

Jennifer Hudson is about to become the new Avon lady, Reuters reports. The Oscar winner will be the spokeswoman for the perfume company's Imari brand and new scent, Imari Seduction, it was announced Wednesday (March 7).

The Dreamgirls actress just nixed a $3 million role in a Warner Bros. flick because of a nude scene starring another character. Hud told execs that even though she's not required to flash flesh, she'll never condone nudity by appearing in any flick that features it... because she's a role model for aspiring young black women.
