    Queen Latifah seems like she would be one of the coolest ladies to meet. Loved her on Living Single. Set it Off was such a good movie. She can sing, rap. Loved Beauty Shop too. Would love to meet her.

    Seriously, her voice is so amazing. It's got that squeaky black american voice. That's what makes her so unique. She is also athletic for those who didn't know. I would probably faint if I met her lol.... Well congratualtions on the work. Keep it up. hide show

    Man, she has been in so many Tv shows, Movie etc. She is like Whoopi Goldberg. Her voice is kool, and I was surprised she was able to jump all around and about on Hairspray, even though I HATE that movie and never want to see it again. She is really kool, and has met alot of famous people. I think the best movie she has been in was the last holiday. She was like mega rich in that film. Well other than that, I guess I have to say my farewells from here. So thanx for reading this review.

    Oscar Nomination.... I dont think so...! hide show

    I cannot believe Queen Latifah has been nominated for an Oscar (Well Three 6 Mafia received one, so its kinda hard to take the Oscars seriously)...!! Miss Latifah is nothing but an under average actress, who should stay in bad comedies and crap shows like \"Living Single\"(Man, that was bad!!)...

    And to top it of; she is quite annoying... She is all about the street and she just annoys the hell out of me... I hope she will never get an Oscar nomination again (Together with Three 6 Mafia), and she should leave the Oscars to great persons like Morgan Freeman, Sally Field, Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks, who actually can act...

    Just keep taking roles like the one in Taxi, because then Im sure we will never see you again at the Oscars...:)

    Talented in So many ways hide show

    There aren't enough words to describ this Multi talented person. She can rap, act and DAMN can she sing. Not too many rappers can have Lovely singing voices. Missy Elliott is the only other one that I can identify with (as far as singing). She is a great actress, musician, a positive Plus Size role model. She sould get back into tv acting. She probably can't make as big of a hit as Living single but she could probably come close. She also needs to drop another record. I want to now what happened to her talk show. Why was it cancelled? Did she just not want to do it anymore or did it get bad ratings?
