And She’s Telling You She Is Going - To Get Married, to David Otunga
Back in July, we mentioned that singer-actress Jennifer Hudson and her Harvard Law hottie — David Otunga, Sidley Austin associate turned reality TV contestant — were thinking about getting engaged. Now they’ve made it official, according to People:
“I can confirm that Jennifer got engaged to her boyfriend David on Friday night in L.A.” says [Hudson’s] rep.Otunga, who is known as “Punk” from the reality show I Love New York 2, popped the question with a Neil Lane diamond ring on the Dreamgirls Oscar winner’s 27th birthday.
The couple, who have been dating less than a year, both hail from Chicago.
Congratulations and best wishes to the newly affianced!
Perez Hilton is unimpressed, referring to Otunga as “a loser” and a “chump,” but that seems like a minority view. Look for Otunga and Hudson to clean up in a future edition of Legal Eagle Wedding Watch. The combination of an HLS degree and an Oscar is not to be scoffed at!

A gay guy marrying a chubby black chick. Did she learn nothing from Star Jones and Al Reynolds?
SECOND IT FEELS SO GOOD
"Perez Hilton is unimpressed, referring to Otunga as "a loser" and a "chump," but that seems like a minority view."
I know that's racist, but I can't figure how. Hmm....

David is an solid, normal guy. Perez Hilton is an ugly social parasite.
As someone who knew him in passing, Dave was one of the coolest guys in the class of 06 at HLS. One of the "normal" ones as mentioned above. I'm glad he's having a great time and enjoying life.

FART SUDS
Um, can we NOT quote Perez HIlton?
We may be able to abstain, 8, but Lat can't help himself. It is what it is.
He was engaged to my roommate's friend from Optometry School a couple of years ago. I love people who get engaged multiple times...they're so desperate.
That guy looks racist. yeah. definitely racist. I am beside myself.
Gay dudes in my high school used to get engaged to large girls all the time. It was no big deal.

Oops, extra "S."
I know David quite well. He was never engaged to that girl you were referring to. What a joke. Jealousy is an ugly thing, so I'm not surprised by that comment. It's hard for some people to see an educated black man get ahead in life. L.C.

Wow! Lauvernes Coles from the New York Jets. Obviously, you are new to this site, or you wouldn't have hit post four million times. Well, we all learn from our mistakes.

Let's not get carried away about how awesome he is. Failed the bar exam, lied to his employer, got fired (basically)...
Also, I'm not sure how marrying an Oscar winner after your stint on a totally trashy reality show is something to be particularly proud of ...
HEY GUYS DOES ANYONE KNOW DAVID WELL ENOUGH TO REFUTE #10?
#10 is someone close to him I believe...maybe his sister perhaps
How the fuck do you graduate from HLS and fail the bar?
How many chances do you get to take the bar? ( I'm in healthcare and in my state you get to attempts for nursing, healthcare management, pharmacy etc.)
"How the fuck do you graduate from HLS and fail the bar?"
AA all the way
Good luck to David on his ill advised attempt to bring back the Jeri curl!!!!!11
I am #10, I've never personally met him...just heard about him from my roommate (who met him A LOT since he was engaged to her good friend in graduate school and he would come down and visit NYC all the time). And yes, he was engaged to this other girl.
Wait a sec...how many times has he been engaged? 3???? Does Jennifer make # 2 or # 3?
Wow, I wonder why things did not work out with his other engagements. But, Jennifer Hudson was engaged last year too, right. Interesting.
Say what you will, but this man is of a rare breed. In one swoop he has amassed far more power and influence than most HLS grads--or any of you on this board for that matter--will ever sniff at over the course of your barely tolerable lives.
He's the biracial David Gest.
What an effing opportunist. he's GAY honey!! Jennnifer back out now. Why would anyone ditch a lucrative law career to go on a show trying to nail a skank like "New York" He has no class and needs to lose the activator from his greasy gay head. Perez is right!!
I am guessing Jennifer gave him the money for the Neil Lane ring. Sidley fired his ass and he has no job or money. Did he even pass the bar exam? Doubious.

Don't steroids make the balls shrink?
The more I read everyones comments, the more I realize that you all need to get a life. To sit here and comment on what you think you know is so sad!! If you all put this much effort into your own lives, you wouldn't have time to be on here gossiping about shit you know nothing about. Find some business of your own and stay the fuck out of others!!!!
This is only to those that it applies to!
