JENNIFER HUDSON loves defying the public’s expectations by showing different sides of herself - and insists she is "a tree with many branches".
The multi-talented star has a highly successful acting career, scooping 29 awards for her appearance in 2007 movie Dreamgirls.
And she hopes her self-titled debut album will surprise fans - because it is such a change from her usual work.
She tells CNN.com, "I don’t believe in limits so I wasn’t allowing myself to be limited and I wanted to show other sides of me, and to say ‘Well, if you like this side of Jennifer, let me introduce you to another side’.
"I used to consider my voice a tree with many branches and that’s what to me this album displays, all these different sides of me." But Hudson insists she has no plans to film a musical - because she doesn’t want her movie career to clash with her singing.
She adds, "If I’m acting I’m acting, if I’m singing I’m singing. There’s no doing both, because I don’t wanna split my focus… so one had to give way for the other."

Rocker TED NUGENT has clear views on what policies he would bring in if he was president of the United States - and top of the list is winning the war on terrorism "by any means necessary".
The outspoken star, who is a keen hunter and gun fanatic, insists presidential hopefuls John McCain and Barack Obama should take a hard line with social, political and economic issues.
Writing in his new book Ted, White and Blue, the patriotic singer outlines his views on war and how to solve the oil crisis in the U.S.
He says, "(I’d) instruct the U.S. military warriors to do their job - win the global war on terror right now and eliminate all threats from all sources by any means necessary." Nugent adds, "(I’d) take appropriate gas and oil from Mexico and the Middle East as payment for all debts we are owed by them." The wild rocker also has strong views on how the government should keep the country’s workforce in check - by getting rid of the welfare system and forcing lazy people into employment, or face harsh consequences, reports the New York Post’s PageSix.
In an ideal world, he explains, "able-bodied Americans who refuse to work will be sent to Cuba, Mexico, England and France".

Hip-hop veteran SCARFACE has added his own controversial views on U.S.
presidential hopeful JOHN McCain - branding the White House contender a racist.
The retiring star, real name Brad Jordan, launched an astonishing attack on the Republican nominee in an interview with America’s RollingOut.com.
And the rapper didn’t hold back, aiming a string of verbal abuse at McCain and slamming the politician for not looking rival candidate Barack Obama in the eye during their debate earlier this week (begs06Oct08).
He tells the website, "The whole time they had their debate, you know that motherf**kin’ peckerwood would not look that n**ga in his eyes. And that right there showed me the respect he had for n**gas.
"If you’ve never in you’ve life ever seen a n**ga-hatin’ motherf**ker, a motherf**ker that just hates n**gas, look at that f**kin’ pink-ass white boy."

BRITNEY SPEARS has confessed she now regrets her highly-publicised erratic behaviour - including the famous head-shaving incident.
The Toxic hitmaker admits in an upcoming MTV documentary, For The Record, that she has made huge mistakes, but is grateful she has a chance at a comeback.
Spears was forced into a psychiatric hospital earlier this year (08) following a public breakdown, including shaving her blonde locks and a showdown with police at her Los Angeles home. She also divorced Kevin Federline and publicly battled him for custody over their two sons.
But Spears is determined to show fans she is on the road to recovery.
She says, "So much has gone on over the last couple of years and there’s a lot that people don’t know about me that I want them to know.
"I wanted to make this film because I started to feel like I wasn’t being seen in the light that I wanted to be seen in. This is an opportunity to set the record straight and talk about what I’ve been through and where I’m headed." She adds, "I’ve been through a lot, and there’s a lot people don’t know. I sit there and I look back: ‘I’m a smart person, what the hell was I thinking?’" The star also admits she is suffering from loneliness: "Sometimes it can get lonely ’cause you don’t open the gate. I’m stuck in this place, and I just cope every day."

ZAC EFRON is scared of losing his success - so is seeking career advice from LEONARDO DiCAPRIO and JOHNNY DEPP.

THE PRETENDERS rocker CHRISSIE HYNDE has opened a vegan restaurant in her native Akron, Ohio.
The Back On The Chain Gang singer recently returned to her hometown, where she has launched VegiTerranean.
She says, "The food is just sublime." But she’s not that sure about some items on the menu: "I didn’t write the menu - I don’t think I would have called it (hot dog) the Pretenders Haute Dog." And returning home has been a great experience for the rock star: "The apartments there are about $500 a month, and that’s really nice, like what the (Los Angeles hotel) Chateau Marmont used to be when it was a dump." Hynde even celebrated her 57th birthday at home with her mum and dad, and they handed her a priceless gift from her past.
She tells Rolling Stone magazine, "My mother got me a nice vegan cake and my dad told me that all my old records were upstairs. I thought I’d lost them…
It was f**king great to touch them again."
