WASHINGTON — It’ll be a dreamy entertainment lineup for the first state dinner of the Obama White House: singer Jennifer Hudson is set to perform Tuesday night.

Hudson, who won an Academy Award for her role in the movie “Dreamgirls,” is part of a larger lineup that also includes Indian performers, according to an administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the dinner won’t be announced until later in the day.

The dinner for Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh (MAHN’-moh-hahn SING)is being held in a tent on the South Lawn of the White House to allow the Obamas to invite hundreds more guests than could squeeze into the East Room, which tops out at 140 people.

The dinner is the hottest ticket in town.

    THE BEST KEPT SECRET: is Jennifer Hudson is becoming one of the prominent & powerful celebrity in Hollywood in her right. Dont get me wrong, taking nothing away from Beyonce, But I am glad for once that the spot light is being taken off of her and other talent is being recognized I guest everything happens for reason, Beyonce received a taste of her own medicine, when you over step your boundaries because you are used to getting your way, going up in the Whitehouse not the place to do, Way out of her league, when you step in the Michele’s territory, It wasn’t Michele pulling rank-and file, she was just way out of her league, beauty & talent is one thing, but… beauty, talent ( when you are one of the sought after attorney’s in chicago, managing your own finances, that’s talent) education, style and grace is totally something else. this is from someone that work for the government and knows this first hand.She has always considered herself BETTER THAN JENNIFER, but jennifer always held her own never, making her hater… her motivator through all of her trial & tribulations that’s inspiring. as MAYA ANGELOU says YET & STILL SHE RISE.
