Cee-Lo Co-Writes Jennifer Hudson Song for Sex and the City Movie Soundtrack

We don't picture Cee-Lo as much of a cosmo drinker, but he's certainly done Odder things than co-write a song for an Oscar winner for the soundtrack of the forthcoming Sex and the City: The Movie. The movie hits theaters May 30, and its soundtrack comes out May 27 on New Line Records.
Mr. Green's contribution to Sex and the City: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack comes in the form of "All Dressed in Love", which he wrote with previous collaborator MC Jack Splash of Plantlife. Dreamgirls star Jennifer Hudson, who plays a personal assistant to Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City, performs "All Dressed in Love". To top it all off, the song appears over the movie's end credits.
While Green/Splash/Hudson's contribution to the soundtrack is probably the most promising, the disc also features tunes from Al Green (featuring Joss Stone), Nina Simone, the Bird & the Bee, Morningwood, and Run-D.M.C. (featuring Steve Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith).
Run-D.M.C. working with guys from Aerosmith? That could be groundbreaking!
P.S. Gnarls Barkley are touring festivals this summer.
