Another giant gets spanked.

GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), one of America’s largest drug makers, has agreed to a  $3 Billion drug fraud settlement for questionable sales and marketing practices, including their diabetes drug Avandia.

The $3 Billion settlement represents the largest ever drug-company settlement, surpassing the more than $2 Billion paid by drug maker Pfizer for illegally promoting off-label uses of four of its drugs.

The settlement, considered extraordinarily large by most people’s standards, represents only a slap on the wrist to the drug giant, which has a market value of more than $110 billion, according to the New York Times.

GSK’s massive financial clout allows them to engage in criminal behavior that they can later buy their way out of – kind of like the way you might pay for a speeding ticket.

Grammy Award Winner and DreamGirls star Jennifer Hudson talks about her successful  weight loss journey.

Hudson says, “My mind hasn’t caught up yet. I’ve always been a person who’s comfortable with myself whether it’s plus-size, small size it doesn’t matter.”

Her weight loss journey took about 6-8 months.

Watch her interview from the Regis And Kelly television show shot on Oct, 4, 2010.

Ms. Hudson says that people hardly recognize her now after her weight loss.
Previously a size 16, Hudson says, “I go into the store and they try to put me in 4s and 6s and I’m like ‘Who are you trying to talk to?’”

“I didn’t expect to go as far as I did,” explains Hudson.
