Jennifer Holliday and Jennifer Hudson - The tabloids talk about beef between these two divas, who both played Effie in Dreamgirls (Holliday in 1981's Tony-winning Broadway version, Hudson in her 2006 Oscar-winning performance), but we couldn't see it when the two performed a show-stopped duet of "And I Am Telling You (I'm Not Going)" at the 2007 BET Awards. Two years later, Hudson brought Holliday on stage during her Atlanta show for a sing-off. That night, they were both winners.(Photo: Michael Caulfield/WireImage for BET Network)
