Perez Hilton is reporting that rumor about the Oscar winner performing the Star Spangled Banner at Barack Obama's inauguration on January 20th was false.

This would of marked her first public performance since the tragic killings of her mother, brother, and nephew.

Hudson is still scheduled to sing at the Grammy charity concert to honor Neil Diamond, the 2009 MusiCares® Person of the Year on February 6th.
