Queen Latifah, who was among the celebrity guests in attendance for Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz wedding in France last week, was spotted aboard a yacht getting closer than most to her “trainer” & girlfriend Jeanette Jenkins. The two were photographed exchanging several intimate embraces. Read the rest of this entry »

Queen Latifah was all aglow as she promoted her new book, “Put On Your Crown: Life-Changing Moments on the Path To Queendom,” on CNN’s Larry King Live last night (July 9th). Born Dana Owens, the accomplished rapper/actress takes readers through certain life changing moments and how she dealt with it, not in a preachy way, but conversation-style – from her experience dealing with being molested at the age of 5 to her brother Lance’s death to how she almost went broke.

“Putting on your crown is really like accepting the fact that you are a queen,” Latifah explained. “Wherever you are in life, just keep on that path…as women, we forget that about ourselves. So, putting on your crown is sort of reminding yourself that, hey, I’m a queen, and I can do what I want in this life and take it.”

Latifah spoke of the need for Read the rest of this entry »

Well this has certainly been an eventful week in the world of entertainment. The BET Awards have come and gone. Beyonce and Rihanna could have cared less apparently. Queen Latifah came out… ummm, I think. I’m a bit confused. And I am going to attempt to not talk about how annoying Keri Hilson’s leopard dress was and that SHAMEFUL attempt at a Rihanna cut. BGG readers bare with me cause I know this edition is not gonna be pleasant.

I mean I’m no chick, but I’m Still Bad… Read the rest of this entry »

Last night, the place to be was at the 2010 BET Awards, whether you were there live or at home watching.  None other than Kanye West opened the award show with a mediocre performance of his latest hit single, “Power.”  The multi-talented host, Queen Latifah then followed with a playful and comedic medley.  The “Queen” also spit for those who forgot how it all began.

During the 106 & Park: Live From The Red Carpet pre-show Keri Hilson hinted, “I heard it’s a night of comebacks.” and indeed it was.  In tribute to the legendary honoree Prince, the also legendary Patti Labelle bellowed out a powerful rendition of Prince’s classic hit “Purple Rain.” It was also a pleasant surprise to see 80’s superstar R&B singer, El DeBarge still looking good and sounding great.  The lineup also featured a few surprise duets, namely: Alicia Keys & Kim Burrell, B.O.B. & Keyshia Cole, Monica & Deniece Williams (“Silly Of Me”).  But the best performance goes to Chris Brown for his exhilarating tribute to the late, Michael Jackson.  Chris Brown poured his heart out while dancing (looking like MJ) and literally singing to tears.  It was a performance to remember.  “He [Chris Brown] left his heart on the stage, he gave genuine emotion,” said Trey Songz when asked to describe Chris Brown’s performance during a BET post-show interview with BET correspondent Big Tigger.

Now let’s get to the winners, the performances, and of course, the commentary… Read the rest of this entry »

Tonight, live from Los Angeles, The BET Awards will celebrate its ten year anniversary.  The highly anticipated award show has become the “black” Grammys for our African American artists and entertainers. I’m excited to see some of the artists’ fashion and stage performances. The BET Awards always does a phenomenal job selecting nominees, winners, and performances.

Tonight expect performances from the  Alicia Keys, Diddy’s Dirty Money, Drake, Trey Songz, Usher, Nicki Minaj, Ludacris, T.I (The King is back!), Kanye West (what will he do next?), Rick Ross, DJ Khaled, Eminem, and T-Pain along with a host of other talents to hit the stage. The legendary performer and musician Prince will Read the rest of this entry »

No word, however, as to what role she’s playing or when the episode will air.

Entourage premieres this Sunday, June 27th.

News recently broke that Queen Latifah and gal pal/trainer Jeanette Jenkins bought a home together in Los Angeles back in mid-December (’09). The house , described as a Hollywood Hills hideaway, previously belonged to NYPD Blue star Henry Simmons. The 2,026 sq. ft., 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home carries both of their names on the deed.

Chile, I wish I could find a trainer that would go half on a house. Must be nice. *side eye*
