After spending last summer in NY shooting the film, the trailer for the much anticipated film, Just Wright, starring Queen Latifah and Common has finally been released. The film is a romantic comedy starring Queen Latifah as a physical therapist who finds herself falling for a professional basketball player, played by Common, while rehabilitating him from a career-threatening injury. Paula Patton also stars in the film as Common’s gold-digging, opportunistic girlfriend. You already know I’m a big Queen Latifah fan; so if I could pre-order the tickets, it would already be done!

Just Wright hits theaters May 14th

The most prestigious red carpet of all, the Academy Academy Awards,  where Hollywood’s shining stars bring their fashion Extravaganza Eleganza!!  As expected,  all of  Hollywood showed up and brought their best to the 82 Annual Academy Awards Red Carpet on Sunday (March 7).  A few of black Hollywood’s shining stars graced the red carpet, including would-be Oscar winner Mo’Nique, Gabourey Sidibe, Zoe Saldana, Queen Latifah and a host of others.

The fashion was quite daring for some and rather safe & uninspiring for others. Red carpet staples such as Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Nicole Richie all adorned unique looks that sizzled on the red carpet, while others tragically fizzled.

The 3rd Annual BET Honors aired on  Monday (February 1). The VOICE, Whitney Houston was among the noted honorees which included Diddy, Queen Latifah, and others. Two of Whitney’s favorite voices Kim Burrell and Jennifer Hudson performed classic songs, I Believe in You and Me and the timeless I Will Always Love You.

Just because the Grammys snubbed the GREATEST SINGER OF ALL TIME doesn’t mean others will. Whitney Houston is a living legend, ultimate DIVA, and THE ICON. As she stated in her acceptance speech, “Let’s not tear each other down in our failures, but lift up each other in our triumphs”

Queen was honored for her achievements, along with Diddy, Whitney Houston, educator Ruth Simmons and neurosurgeon Keith Black. “Each of our six celebrants are dedicated to reaching back to help bring more forward,” sad BET’s president of music programming, Stephen Hill. “They represent integrity, perseverance, fortitude and outsized talent. Music, merriment and memories are only a small part of ‘BET Honors.’ We also hope to encourage our viewers to embody and emulate the passion and drive of these individuals.”

While Queen showed up in D.C. looking very casual and non-descript, her transformation is always remarkable.
