On The Street: Akon

Akon and Queen Latifah were chatting it up at the SRC Records Presents Think Pink Rocks event last night in Boca Raton, Florida. Damn, if it weren’t for his earring and his teeth, we wouldn’t have known who the heck Latifah was talking to. We kid, we kid…

Stuntin’ For Obama

Here is Queen Latifah flossin pretty hard in a drop top Rolls Royce with her Obama/Biden support in full effect.

Latifah is back

Latifah is back in the lab:

The new album, which Latifah told Rolling Stone was “banging,” was crafted with the help of legends LL Cool J and Dr. Dre. The rapper-turned-actress says the two did the majority of the record. “They pretty much did the whole album,” Latifah said. “My boy Kenny Flav did one track and I think might do two more. Missy [Elliott] and Swizz Beatz are the only two people I have left. But they’re mixing it right now.” Dre also helped her write some of the material, as well as Ludacris, but besides that she says she wrote “just about” all the rest.

We know our girl’s film career is on track, but we are excited to see if the Doc can bring her music career back to life when her album drops in December. If Dre’s resume is any indication of what we can expect, we should be in store for some hot sh*t. No, we do not think that the proposed title, “The L Word” has anything to do with her ummm…sexual orientation…and yes, we are trying to keep a straight face (no pun intended).

Latifah About To Have Some Babies

The National Enquirer is reporting that King Latifah and her trainer/boo Jeanette Jenkins are planning to adopt:

It’s top secret right now, but they are hoping to have a little one by Christmas,” a longtime pal told The Enquirer. “They’re trying to keep it quiet because they don’t want to jinx the whole thing.” Latifah’s sister, who works in New Jersey’s Division of Youth and Family Services, is helping guide her through the red tape, said the source. Unlike Madonna and Angelina Jolie, Latifah is making a point of adopting a child from the United States. “I can understand why people go outside the U.S. You can adopt someone here, and the birth parents have three years to come back and get that child. That’s terrifying,” said the Oscar-nominated “Chicago” star. But she says poor American children “can use just as much assistance as someone from around the world. I want to do something here.”

Adoption has been on her mind for a long time. The “Mad Money” star told a reporter last year, “I’ve always wanted to have [babies] and adopt. When I was little, I remember seeing TV shows and a child would be adopted and be happy. I just always felt like there are so many kids out there who need a parent.”

Go head, Big ‘Tifah, if this is true and she’s settling down and making it happen, we ain’t mad at her at all…

Scorce 20 years 2 out 4 cover look OK

What the hell is up with the purple lips...does LL know?

Seems Like the Sorce is trying to get everyone on their 20th Aniversary Cover, do you really think it's going to help? Ice Cube and Queen Latifah are the other two artists other than Nas and LL who are featured on The Source’s 20 anniversary edition. Ice Cube has certainly come a long way from those jheri curl juiced NWA days.

Good Thang you didn't mess up Ice Cube like you did to Nas and LL

and at least Queen Latifah looks good

Then once again you go with these hellasious pink lips what the hell you made Nas look like he's wearing lipstick ...

Queen of the Beach ...Yips!

Yes, we know Big ‘Tifah’s been the topic of discussion quite a bit recently, but this time folks, it’s for a good reason.

I'll Have A Coffee and A Lawsuit Please

Queen Latifah is suing the production company behind her film “The Perfect Holiday”:

“The rapper-turned-actress’ lawyers have filed a lawsuit on her behalf in Manhattan, New York, claiming bosses at Perfect Christmas Productions breached her contract and owe her $275,000 (GBP137,500) for a cameo role in the comedy. Latifah, real name Dana Owens, co-produced the 2007 movie, which starred Terrence Howard and Gabrielle Union.”

SMH. This movie critic from rottentomatoes.com pretty much sums it our thoughts on this issue: “Queen Latifah…just showed up enough in The Perfect Holiday to either pick up a paycheck or return some kind of mysterious unpaid debt to [the writer-director].”

Training with the Queen

Queen Latifah was spotted leaving a coffee shop after getting her yoga on this weekend in Hollyweird. Latifah stay in some workout clothes, she and her ‘trainer’ must be fu*kin for fitness.

Get Your Swag On: Beach Style 1A

King Latifah and her boo/trainer Jeanette Jenkins were spotted kicking it in Miami beach. Damn, doesn’t look like Jeanette has been doing too good of a job keeping Dana in shape. We wonder why she’s still around. SMH.

A King Latifah Update under the hood:

Latifah is planning on releasing her new cologne, oops I mean perfume next year:

“She says, ‘For me, beauty really does start on the inside. It’s like a state of mind - a state of love, if you will. So, I see fragrance as just a natural expression of this state of love: Scent expresses a woman’s confidence and sensuality. It’s how she embraces her body, her mind and her strength.’”

First it was Cover Girl, now it’s this new venture. This is a woman who knows how to keep those stacks a comin’. Just don’t be alarmed if her new fragrance doesn’t come out smelling more like aftershave than rose petals.
