Move over Whitney Houston and Celine Dion, there’s a new class of divas in town.
Jennifer Hudson, Miley Cyrus and Kelly Clarkson were among the new inductees at the “VH1 Divas” concert last week, according to an Associated Press report.
Paula Abdul hosted and opened the show, but she got the most attention for lambasting her “American Idol” replacement, Ellen DeGeneres, by prancing around onstage in a signature suit, tennis shoes and a short blonde wig.
According to the AP, Hudson may have had the night’s biggest diva moment - a duet with Stevie Wonder, who she called her “childhood hero.” Cyndi Lauper, Liza Minnelli, Sheryl Crow, Leona Lewis, Adele, Jordin Sparks and India.Arie also performed.
The event was recorded live at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York.

Who keeps giving Paula Abdul money? Seriously?! Why aren't annoying people ever unemployed? Also, is "diva" Italian for "overrated"? Just checking...
