Queen Latifah: "I Don't Care If People Think I'm Gay"
"I don't have a problem discussing the topic of somebody being gay, but I do have a problem discussing my personal life," Latifah, 38, told Sunday's New York Times magazine. "You don't get that part of me. Sorry," she added. "We’re not discussing it in our meetings, we’re not discussing it at Cover Girl...nobody gets that. "I don't feel like I need to share my personal life, and I don't care if people think I'm gay or not," she said. "Assume whatever you want. You do it anyway." Latifah had been li

Queen Latifah talks with New York Times Magazine
The back seat of a stretch limo making a tight turn is no place to stick a pencil in your eye, but Queen Latifah didn’t flinch. En route to a meeting at Cover Girl, where she is the face — and the name — of its Queen Collection (makeup for women of color), she did a quick touch-up. Peering into the mirror she had pulled down from the car’s ceiling, she stretched her lower lid and, as the car swerved to the left, drew a perfect line inside it. I squinted at the pencil. “Is tha

Queen Latifah Talks Weight Loss
When Queen Latifah signed on to be the new celebrity face of Jenny Craig, she wanted to lose weight, but mostly she was just looking to get healthier. She set a goal for herself to lose 5 to 10 percent of her body weight and keep it off. "For me, it's not about a body image thing. I feel pretty confident. I do realize I'm a role model to a lot of people, and I've been a role model for confidence. I feel being a healthier person is a good thing. If I can set the example for confidence on the inside,

Gwen Ifill’s Biggest Mistake: WEARING GREEN AGAIN
Did you miss Meet the Press on Sunday? We got to hear from VP debate moderator Gwen Ifill and see her being imitated by Queen Latifah on SNL. And, while she didn’t wear the exact same jacket from the debate, it was in the green family. Didn’t she think that would look weird — watching the SNL tape [...]

Our Little Girl’s Done All Grown Up!
The tiny blonde, strangely-toothed actress is now 14 years old. And if her red carpet photos from The Secret Life of Bees premiere are any indication, she’s done all grown up. WHAT DOES DAKOTA LOOK LIKE NOW? Plus, red carpet photos of my three favorite BBW, Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson and Will Smith. Well, it appears her transformation into Gwyneth Paltrow is nearly complete: Dakota is only 14… and she looks like a grown up lady now. And you know what? We respect her for that! Mak

Dakota Fanning continues to look all grown up while looking perfectly age appropriate. The recently engaged Jennifer Hudson got gorgeous in na

Alex Witchel wrote an extremely thorough ... [Ladies First]
Alex Witchel wrote an extremely thorough profile of Queen Latifah for the New York Times Magazine, in which we discover that the woman who is a Grammy-award winning singer, Oscar-nominated actress, management-and-production company mogul, CoverGirl developer and model as well as spokesperson for Jenny Craig is also unfailingly polite and amazingly down to earth. The piece does touch on her sexuality, and The Queen says: I don’t have a problem discussing the topic of somebody being gay, but I do have a pro

Gwen Ifill: There Was Nothing I Could Do!
When Matt Drudge last week "broke news" that Gwen Ifill — at that point the upcoming moderator to the vice presidential debate — was writing a book about black politics in America and releasing it on Inauguration Day, conservatives quickly shaped the story to make everyone think the PBS (and NBC) veteran was authoring a pro-Obama book and, thus, wasn't qualified to moderate what will likely be the most-watched of the debates. Except, as we explained, Ifill wasn't writing a pr
