Hudson Receives a Bicycle

Jennifer Hudson's TV comeback was made extra sweet when talk show host Ellen Degeneres presented her with a bicycle made for three.

Oscar winner, Hudson went into hiding late last year (08) following the murders of her mother, sister and nephew and only recently returned to public life, performing at the Grammys and the Super Bowl.

And she recently taped an episode of Ellen with her pal - to further mark her return.

Learning that Hudson, her fiance, David Otunga, and pet Pomeranian liked to go out cycling together, DeGeneres decided to thank the Dreamgirls star for appearing on her show, which aired on Thursday (26Mar09), by giving her a tandem bike with a doggy basket.

The thrilled singer/actress said, "David's gonna love it. Oh my God!"
