Fantasia BarrinoAmerican Idol winner Fantasia Barrino was devastated when fellow talent show contestant Jennifer Hudson beat her to the part of Effie White in the forthcoming Dreamgirls movie.

Barrino, who beat Hudson in the 2004 season of the televised music contest, auditioned for the role of the troubled sixties singer, but lost out to Hudson.

She says, "I was a little hurt. I remember calling Jennifer. She picked up the phone and I said, 'Heifer, you took my part.'"
