Jennifer Hudson was rushed to hospital this morning.

Jennifer Hudson was rushed to hospital this morning.

The 'Dreamgirls' star was taken to a New York emergency room after complaining of severe abdominal pains following her performance on 'Good Morning America' in the city and according to her representative was diagnosed with food poisoning and released to recuperate at home.

A spokesperson for Jennifer said: "Jennifer Hudson went to the hospital due to severe abdominal pains. She was treated for food poisoning and released."

However, Jennifer had to cancel a planned appearance on 'The Early Show' today.

It was revealed last week that the star - who shed 80lbs in just under two years - will write a weight loss memoir to help "inspire" others but she has admitted in the past she still finds it difficult to embrace her new physique.

Jennifer - who has a 21-month-old son, David Jr., with fiance David Otunga - said: "I'm still not used to my new self yet, so I'm figuring out who I am right now. Like, how do I want to be perceived? Who am I? Along with a physical change, it is also a mental change, so my mind has to play catch up with what everybody else sees. I haven't got there yet. I go shopping and pick up an outfit in an extra-large or large. Physically I might be right, but not mentally."
