Jennifer Hudson lands $1 million-plus deal for weight-loss memoir

Jennifer Hudson is said to have finalized a $1 million plus deal with Penguin Group's Dutton imprint for her weight-loss memoir.

The Oscar winner and her William Morris agent Mel Berger reportedly weren’t willing to settle for less than seven figures.

According to sources, the publishers initially hesitated to fork over the high sum for a weight-loss tome that didn't include Hudson's personal issues, including the horrific murder of her family, reports the New York Post.

Hudson, who has yet to write the book, is hoping to be ready with it by January 2012.
