Queen Latifah Comes Out As A Lesbian
24 May 2012 5:09 PM, PDT | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »
After years of keeping her sexual identity behind closed doors, Queen Latifah admitted the Lgbt people are her 'peeps' during a show at the 2012 Long Beach Pride. Queen Latifah's latest show must have been quite liberating for her. At the 2012 Long Beach Pride event in California last weekend, the 42-year-old award-winning singer, rapper and actress officially came out as gay. "Y’all my peeps (people)," she said, referring to the Lgbt community. "I love you!" The Queen performed to a crowd of about 1,000 people for more than an hour, telling them to "keep your support system tight" and also warning about keeping safe from STDs. “Thank you to all my favorite peep guests who came out to support me. I appreciate it. I love you so much. Hope you had a beautiful time," she said. "Y’all be safe whatever y’all get into tonight. Boys –- strap it up. »

I don't need to remind you that Single Ladies star LisaRaye McCoy doesn't give a "f**k" whether or not you like the show, as she told Huffington Post earlier this week; all she knows if that a healthy 3+ million people watched it last season which was enough for VH1 to renew it for a second season, which begins just 4 days from now - May 28th.

LisaRaye McCoy On "Single Ladies" Critics: "F**K'em!"
21 May 2012 3:12 PM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
Huffington Post: And with success, of course, comes critics. What are your thoughts on media outlets who dubbed season one, “embarrassing.” LisaRaye McCoy: F**k’em! Let them write a show and come up with what they want to see. Until then, the people who love it, tune in. Well, there ya go. It doesn't get any clearer, or *realer* than that, does it? That was a snip from an interview Single Ladies star LisaRaye McCoy did with Huffington Post, published earlier today. A second season, much to the disappointment of some I'm sure, begins exactly 1 week from today - May 28th! The show, which made its debut on May 30th, 2011, averaged close to 3 million viewers each week, with a strong showing in its core 18 to 34 female demographic. Earlier this year, it was announced that Cassandra Freeman (most recently seen on S&A in Alrick Brown's Kinyarwanda) had »

Watch: 'Rocky' Franchise Comes Under Scrutiny
21 May 2012 6:35 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Memorable lines such as “show me the money” and “there’s no crying in baseball” have landed both "Jerry Maguire" and "A League of Their Own" amongst the list of highest grossing sports movies of all time. During the latest episode of HuffPost Black Voices' sports video series, "Out Of Bounds," Queen Latifah is joined by La La Vazquez, Holly Robinson Peete and model-television personality Jennifer Sterger as they discuss their very own Mvp awards for actors that deserve the same recognition as athletes.
While analyzing the top ten highest grossing sports films, the sports enthusiasts shared their thoughts on the Rocky franchise landing in the top three slots. Though the Sylvester Stallone film series was well received by critics and fans the group didn’t feel quite the same.

Queen Latifah to perform at gay festival
18 May 2012 7:36 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Queen Latifah is to perform at the Long Beach Pride festival tomorrow (19.05.12). The singer-and-actress will be the star attraction at the annual event in California, which celebrates the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (Lgbt) community. Long Beach Pride Co-President Pat Crosby stated on the event's site: 'For her to make her worldwide Pride debut here in Long Beach is a tremendous testament to the popularity of our celebration and to the strength of our community.' The 'Chicago' star has been the subject of speculation she is a lesbian herself but she has always refused to comment on her love life and has previously said it's nobody's business whether she is gay or not. She said in 2008: 'I don't »
'Battleship' Vs. 'What To Expect': Brooklyn Decker's Double Feature
18 May 2012 3:22 AM, PDT | MTV Movie News | See recent MTV Movie News news »
With model-turned-actress in two movies opening the same day, we look back at (and forward to) other stars' box-office twofers.
Brooklyn Decker in "Battleship"

If you have a thing for busty blondes, we suggest you pencil a double feature into your weekend plans, seeing as model-turned-actress Brooklyn Decker stars in not one, but two movies opening Friday: the blow-'em-up action flick "Battleship" and the pregnancy rom-com "What to Expect When You're Expecting."
In the Decker vs. Decker showdown, box-office analysts seem to agree that "Battleship" will sink "What to Expect," though it's unlikely either will unseat reigning superheroes of the cinema, "The Avengers," who are eyeing their third first-place weekend. Nonetheless, having two films open on a single day is a neat distinction for the 25-year-old actress, though one that's not as rare as you might think. Here are a cluster of stars who »
Consider the Downing of the House Brought'n
16 May 2012 3:21 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Director Andrew Shankman has built a career out of making extremely mediocre movies, and one of the worst in that lot was the painfully unfunny Bringing Down the House that saw Steve Martin paired with Queen Latifah. Riddled with clichés and a story that makes no sense despite all the band-aids applied to string the story together, Bringing Down the House came about long after Steve Martin’s filmography landed on the skids, making it the perfect example of the kind of garbage he’s been signing on for since the mid-90s.
After divorcing his wife (Jean Smart) and spending many nights alone when not the custodian of his two kids (Kimberly J. Brown, Angus T. Jones), successful but aging attorney Peter Sanderson (Martin) finds solace in a legal chat room where he connects with Charlene, a woman he believes to be a young, attractive lawyer.

Bringing Down the House Blu-ray Review
15 May 2012 12:39 PM, PDT | The Movie Pool | See recent The Movie Pool news »
The Movie Pool blames Steve Martin and Queen Latifah for Bringing Down the House on Blu-ray!
The Set-up
A convict (Latifah) horns her way into an attorney's (Martin) life, causing a clash of cultures, but the two slowly begin to learn from each other.
Directed by: Adam Shankman
The Delivery
One might think that a film featuring the comedic talents of Steve Martin, Eugene Levy, and Queen Latifah would be a sure-fire hit, but Hollywood has taught us that they are experts at ruining a sure thing.
Bringing Down the House is an embarrassing film that could have set back race relations in America 30 years. The fact that Disney decided to release this on Blu-ray, yet holds back on Song of the South, frankly shocks me. This film makes Song of the South look like the March on Selma; it is that offensive.
First released in 2003, I never saw the »

Blu-ray Review: Joyful Noise
10 May 2012 8:59 PM, PDT | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »
It’s difficult to watch Joyful Noise without thinking that this movie is a remake of Sister Act 2, minus all the nuns. Familiar themes and plot threads are prevalent, such as the Gospel competition and the conflict between classic gospel songs and more contemporary music. Also, there are a few patches of questionable performances and Disney Channel acting sprinkled throughout the first hour of the film. However, like any musical, it’s hard to not be uplifted by the music. Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton do a superb job of blending their unique singing styles into various Gospel songs. Broadway performer Jeremy Jordan joins Keke Palmer for a handful of duets that are just as good. Although Joyful Noise is a far cry from the greatest movie you’ll watch, it’s feel-good story and toe-tapping music (especially from the children’s choir) will leave you with a bright smile. »

Morning Meme: Amendment One Passes, You Can Win a Date With Parker Young, and Johnny Depp Names His Willy Wonka Inspiration
9 May 2012 4:46 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
Amendment One in North Carolina has passed. In what may be one of the more tasteless ways to celebrate passage by the right, backers planned to serve wedding cake at their party.
Meanwhile, in the House of Representatives, two anti-gay amendments for the National Defense Authorization Act have been prepared with a who's-who of anti gay groups, including the Alliance Defense Fund, the National Organization for Marriage and the Family Research Council. One would give huge latitude to military chaplains to preach hate from the pulpit on government bases, and the other would assert Doma more strongly as it relates to military affairs.
Kansas Republican Rep. Huelskamp is planning an amendment to the Justice Department authorization bill that would bar the Justice Department from using any funds to oppose the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act, as it has been doing in cases around the country.

Did Queen Latifah come out as a lesbian?
8 May 2012 3:50 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Reports are circulating that rapper/actress Queen Latifah has come out of the closet after years of sidestepping questions about her sexuality. But Latifah -- real name Dana Owens -- hasn't actually made any statement at all about her personal life. Instead, several sites are jumping to the conclusion that she's gay simply because she's agreed to headling the 2012 annual Long Beach Lesbian & Gay Pride Festival.
"This will be Queen Latifah's first-ever engagement at a Pride celebration anywhere in the world," reads a press release from Long Beach Pride.
"For her to make her worldwide Pride debut here in Long Beach is a tremendous testament to the popularity of our celebration and the strength of our community," says Lbp co-president Pat Crosby.
What isn't said is anything about Latifah's sexuality. And, as The New Civil Rights Movement points out, Whitney Houston performed at New York's 1999 Gay Pride Festival, Jennifer Lopez »

Blu-ray Review: Boring ‘Joyful Noise’ Offers Great Music, Dull Melodrama
8 May 2012 12:39 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – “Joyful Noise” is a weird movie in that it absolutely comes alive in its full musical numbers, of which there are several, but the plot that connects those gospel and pop songs is so thin that it’s impossible to care about the characters or what’s happening to them. The people in “Joyful Noise” are all likable and the story is harmless but the movie is slowly paced and oddly inert, showing none of the life that real gospel music brings to the people. It’s not full of enough joy or noise.
Blu-ray Rating: 2.5/5.0
First, a warning. “Joyful Noise” is long. It runs nearly two hours and feels much longer than its running time given that there’s not a whole lot of plot. The characters and storylines spin their wheels and there are several full-length musical numbers, including a rendition of “Man in the Mirror” by Michael Jackson. »
