The last Dreamgirl on Rachael's set was Jennifer Hudson (on the eve of her Academy Award nomination) and now Anika Noni Rose drops by to share behind-the-scenes scoop from the movie, including the fabulous dresses that were not only hard to move in, but hard to eat in as well. "I ate all day," Anika says, "but I tell you it was not a lot of sitting down and eating. It was more like 'Cut!' and then like a cracker and a half and a spoonful of some chicken salad or something. Basically, the dresses were so tight that if you chewed some bubble gum it showed! So there was a lot of small eating going on."

Anika, whose name is Swahili (Anika means "goodness" and Noni means "gift of God"), sheds some light on her other Oscar-nominated co-star, Eddie Murphy. "He's fantastic," she says. "He's really actually very quiet and I think a little shy. Very still. I think the performance he gives in this movie is absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. Like nothing you've ever seen before."
