Queen Latifah in her role as news anchor Sharon Love on VH1's 'Single Ladies.'
*Queen Latifah is one of the most powerful actresses in Hollywood, but she is also a businesswoman, jazz singer, and first and foremost, a rapper.
She started out as a rapper using the moniker Queen Latifah and her feet are solid in the bedrock of the hip-hop world.
She recently starred in a film produced by her multimedia company, Flavor Unit, called ”Just Wright” where she played fellow rapper, Common’s, physical therapist turned love interest. But, the movie was a financial flop grossing only a little over $22 million worldwide.
Although the film was a great representation of black film. The language was PG and intelligent images of sensible, hard-working African Americans were plentiful. But, it doesn’t seem that the Queen’s public could accept her in that role. (more…)
who the hell DOESN’T know she’s gay??
…..and WHO in the heck even CARES?
Yes she is, bit like was said above – WHO CARES!!!
Why use a character? Just be who you are. We all know. We don’t care.
When has she been IN?
isnt some things obvious… and why are we still talkin about it… seriously this as if noones gay around you omg thing..seriously people get over it.. by now whoever dont know and havent assoiated with a gay person at this time and day came from another planet.
Well, the question is “is she using the character to come out.”
I don’t really watch Single Ladies but happened to pass by the other day and paused because Latifah was on there. And when I heard her character making lesbian jokes/innuendo… that was my first thought. That she was indeed using that character to come out.
It was the way she said it….half in character, half out.
I mean she’s played a lesbian before in Set it Off but I felt that was a role and not some declaration. This I thought was indeed a declaration… I mean she produces this show and runs things behind the scenes. She had this role crafted for her for a reason.
Queen we love you no matter what, but stop beating around the bush and come out so we can all stop wondering.
LOL!!! I guess I was one of hte few people who did not realize she was a lesbian atfirst. I heard the rumors but never paid them any attention. After seeing Set It Off over the years and again a couple of weeks ago, I said Oh Yeah I can see it now. LOL!!! I like Queen Latifah she is a good actress and she has a nice fun persona. As long as she is happy more power to her.
