Monica sent me a link to a press release which announced that Queen Latifah is going to be headlining and the guest of honor at the Long Beach Gay Pride Festival. Over at sandrarose.com she says this is Queen coming out. I see it more as a support statement and a paycheck. More of the support rather than the pay because I don't think the Long Beach Pride Festival has that big of a budget. Maybe it is a step towards Queen Latifah coming out, but I think it is more of her just supporting a cause she believes in.
Now there is one beautiful woman!
ReplyDeleteShe IS beautiful....and I thought she was already out?
ReplyDeleteJust do it, Dana. Anyone who matters to your life (even strangers in your popularity demo) already know, and couldn't care less. We just want you to be free & happy!
ReplyDeleteThe Queen would be such an articulate spokesperson, if she decided to become one. It's especially hard being gay in the Black community, so maybe she could get some moms & memaws to understand their kids better!
She is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI would love for her to come out, but its her decision. She such a strong woman, she's a good spokesperson for all of us and doesn't need to be limited to Black and/or Gay. I kind of wish she would put herself out there more so that people had a better idea just how smart she is, but I understand she prefers to stay fairly private.
ReplyDeleteShe's gorgeous! And coming out will ultimately be her own choice. Perhaps this is a baby step to see what the reaction would be.
ReplyDeleteMaybe she just wants to live her life, rather than be a spokesperson. I agree with everyone - she's gorgeous, smart & talented. What a combination.
ReplyDeleteThat pic has been photoshopped.
ReplyDeleteIsn't this the answer to the blind about the "baby steps" to coming out?
ReplyDeleteI thought she already was a spokesperson.
ReplyDeleteOh, for cosmetics. I get confused easily.
Photoshop? Hell no! And that hair is all hers. After all, she BOUGHT it!
ReplyDeleteLove her. She's gorgeous, incredibly talented and a smart business woman. Doesn't matter if she feels her private life should be private.
ReplyDeleteLooking at that old pic on Sandra Rose, I wonder if she had her nose tweaked. Whatevs... she's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteShe should do whatever makes her happy.
Btw, I think she is (was?) a CoverGirl spokesperson.

ReplyDeleteShe's still with Cover Girl and has the Queen collection for Black women.

That photo is photoshopped, but not by much. A google image search turns up a lot of candid photos that look similar enough. She's lost a fair amount of weight and had breast reduction surgery so she does look a little bit different lately than most people might remember. Guess we'll get lots more photos of her on May 19th when she appears at Long Beach Pride.
Speak of the devil, she's on HSN right now selling her Queen Collection (until 1 pm Pacific time). She looks a little bit heavier than the last time I remember seeing her, but she seems to be having a great time talking about clothes and handbags.
ReplyDeletePlease Enty, do yourself a favor and never utter another word in connection with Sandra Rose. That woman is a certified dumb ass and hater. With her logic, I guess Diana Ross headlining the Pride Festival in LA one year amongst all of the other straight perfomers were their coming out as well.
ReplyDeleteSandra Rose is a bitter, blackened fungus, so please stay away.
U.N.I.T.Y......
ReplyDeleteLoved that song!
bout time...
ReplyDeleteLong Beach has the 3rd largest Pride Festival in the country. Between that and the Grand Prix,, the LBC makes bank. She'll be disappointing a lot of people I know if it is just for the paycheck, which could be substantial...
ReplyDeletetoo bad Robin Roberts didn't come out after she was used for Obama's song and dance "coming out".
ReplyDeleteShe looks absolutely nothing like that in person. Not even close . She has been "out" for years in So. FL. and walks around quite comfortably with her "natural" face. She has a wonderful voice and is a delight to be around.
ReplyDeleteBig kiss, Enty!
ReplyDeleteWow, gorgeous photo of her.
ReplyDeleteI thought Robin Roberts came out a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteshe's probably gonna pull a Wanda Sykes and come out at the event...
ReplyDeleteQueen Latifah has never embraced the role of role model.
ReplyDeleteAs one of the larger women in showbiz, she has refused to speak out against sizeism or to champion having more larger women allowed on screen. She could have been such a powerful voice for size acceptance.
I don't see her being any sort of gay champion, either.
U.N.I.T.Y, that's a unity. Who you callin' bitch?
ReplyDeleteOh Dana girl, come on out the closet and embrace 'fat' and 'gay' all around.
