It looks like Jennifer Hudson's fifteen minutes of fame are up. Now, it's her Dreamgirls co-star who's on the rise. No, not Beyoncéé -- it's Anika Noni Rose!

When Disney set out to find the studio's first black princess for an upcoming animated movie musical, Jennifer, Alicia Keys, and Tyra Banks were also up for the role, but Anika pulled through for the coveted part, E! Online reports. The movie will likely be called The Princess and the Frog, and Anika will play a 19-year-old princess in 1920s New Orleans.

Congrats, girl!
