Jennifer Hudson for Gap

Since Jennifer Hudson is quietly mourning the loss of her precious family members, the executives over at the Gap decided to approach her before launching their 2008 holiday ad campaign.

The ad collection features a gorgeous photo ofthe singer/actress smiling and wearing a bright red sweater. The shots were originally taken back in July with the intention of being released this holiday season.

When given the chance to pull herself out and remove the photos of herself, "She said she wanted to be a part of it and that we should move forward," a spokesperson for the Gap said.

Other famous faces in the annual campaign include Mila Kunis, Mary Louis Parker, Milla Jovovich, Jason Bateman, and Ashanti. Kudos to Jennifer for having the courage to keep moving forward.
