Queen Latifah: ‘It doesn’t matter to me what the blogs are writing’
Former rapper and aspiring media mogul Queen Latifah recently sat down with Sister 2 Sister magazine’s Jamie Foster Brown for an in-depth interview. We love Jamie, but her interviews can be tedious at times. Jamie always plays it safe and she never asks the right questions, such as “Let’s discuss those rumors about your break up with your longtime lover, Jeanette Jenkins.”
Queen Latifah did touch on her love/hate relationship with social media, saying “It can be very overwhelming, but it can also be great for business.”
As for her stance on bloggers, in particular, the 44-year-old executive producer of VH1′s “Single Ladies” stopped just short of calling bloggers bullies.
“The thing about social media is there are a lot of people who felt voiceless,” she said. “Now, they have a voice, and some people will just say anything for shock value.”

Queen Latifah will do anything to get her ex-girlfriend back
Remember we told you that Queen Latifah and her longtime lover, personal trainer Jeanette Jenkins, split up a while back? We told you that Latifah, real name Dana Owens, moved into a New York hotel where she dined alone on take out food.
Even though it’s our job to bring you these scoops, we still feel bad for the Queen. At our age it’s difficult to move on and start our lives over with someone new. Especially when you all you have to choose from are gold diggers who are just waiting to empty out your bank accounts.
Well, according to the National Enquirer, Jeanette has had a change of heart and she’s willing to take Queen Latifah back on the condition that the Queen kicks her nasty habits, which includes drinking, smoking and eating fatty foods.
No one believes Kelly Rowland got her hawt bod from a DVD
Earlier I told you about Queen Latifah’s ex-lover, Jeanette Jenkins, making an exercise DVD with singer Kelly Rowland. According to That B*tch, Jeanette posted stills from her DVD on her facebook page last night. Although the images from the DVD are visually appealing, what’s the point of the DVD when we all know Kelly didn’t hone her naturally hawt bod from trying Jeanette’s exercises?
These celebrity exercise DVDs are entertaining, and they provide something to do while passing the time. But there should be a disclaimer on the packaging that there is no guarantee you will look like Kelly Rowland just by exercising to a DVD.
Jennifer Hudson Spotted Out & About
Jennifer Hudson was spotted arriving at the NY studio where ‘Late Show with David Letterman’ is taped to promote her new sophomore album, I Remember Me. It was announced today that Hudson signed a $1 million book deal to write a weight-loss memoir that is due to be released in January 2012. Jennifer claims to have lost 80 lbs with the Weight Watchers program. Book publishers initially hesitated to sign Hudson to a book deal because she refused to write about the tragic murders of her mother, brother and nephew.
Last Friday, Hudson fell ill with severe stomach pains while performing during ABC’s Good Morning America concert series in NY. She was rushed to the ER where she was reportedly treated for food poisoning and released.

Beyoncé, 29, landed at Nice airport in France yesterday to rehearse for her upcoming concerts there. Bey wore a striking black & white outfit from head to toe. She accessorized her outfit with a pair of sharp looking Gianmarco Lorenzi.
But it was her gaunt, sickly appearance that caught the attention of her fans in Europe and stateside. Beyoncé looked shockingly thin! A confidential source tells Sandrarose.com that Bey is worried sick about her new album, entitled ’4′.
Her concerned fans took to blogs and message boards yesterday to discuss her sudden weight loss.
Even though she’s half the woman she used to be, Beyoncé tried to put on a game face for her European fans.
According to a Columbia records source, the release date for Bey’s fourth studio album has been pushed back to add a couple of dance tracks in hopes of appeasing her gay fans who are unhappy with the current product. The new release date will be announced sometime this week.
