King Latifah says the media better fall back on the rumors or she plans on taking everyone to court:

“They are actually starting to p**s me off. I haven’t been brutalised like some people… but you feel taken advantage of.”This year, if somebody prints something about me, I’m ready to take it to their ass because it’s just not fair.”I’m tired of hearing from my family members, `Did you say this?’ When somebody calls my family, that’s what concerns me. I have little brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews who are not so media savvy as me. “They are not so thick skinned with this business, so these reports bother them. That’s when I really want to go for somebody’s throat, legally with lawyers and all. And I will.”

What does she want people to say when she has a “friendly trainer”, Jeanette Jenkins, for several years and doesn’t lose any weight? We bet King tears up that little muscled-up Jeanette Jenkins at night.

    billy mays for orange glo

    she needs to fall back. the only time she lost weight was when she had breast reduction. because of her back problem. heffa lose some weight and that will cure your supposed back issues.

    I love Queen Latifah, however it is that she spends her spare time in her personal life. Unfortunately, I guess it’s alot more difficult and requires a little more intellect than ignorance to be kind and to treat others the way we’d want to be treated, right? Haven’t you heard the old say, “if you don’t have something nice to say about someone…?”

    Coa Coa

    What does she want people to say when she has a “friendly trainer”, Jeanette Jenkins, for several years and doesn’t lose any weight?

    ………………COMEDY LOL BOSSIP

    Sherry

    uh oh.. Queen about to set this MFO OFF!!..lol..

    Stringer Bell

    Come out the closet already Tifah!!! it’s time already, come on everybody say it with me!!

    TIFAH COME OUT THE CLOSET!!!

    syndi

    Love Queen!! and to be honest I never thought of her as gay untill she was Cleo in set it off, I still love that film everyone did a great Job!

    Richard

    Why can’t she try to be a positive role model to all little dykes out there who have no one other than Ellen. Cause we all know she is gay.

    NoWAY

    Those are 2 tough cookies, I would not mess with them. I dont know a man alive that could spar whith La.

    iBOSSIP@SCHOOL

    ^^^lol

    Southern Belle 225

    I love you Queen but you don’t even need to go there. You can’t sue everybody. You are in the big leagues and you already know how they mess with yall. so just don’t worry about what they say unless its defamation of character. Them telling us that you are gay (which most of us already know) aint a bad thing Queen. Dayum!!!

    and another one.......

    Queen aka king is a dyke aint no doubt AND he/she is a complete ***** he/she needs to check his/her attitude and start doing more the damn community. Gayer than TUG entertainment.

    iBOSSIP@SCHOOL

    *lol @ Richard

    Dalia

    Y’all know for a while there, she lost a good amount of weight. She can’t help it if the holidays caused her to bulk up. :)

    Ki££aßeeSwarm™©®

    Set It Off. That’s old school. Before Jada married Will and went Hollyweird. Before Vivica got knifed up with the plastic surgery. Kimberly Elise was an unknown actress. F. Gary Gray was just getting into directing movies.

    DIAMONDCHEERS

    LMAO!!! @ ya’ll still talkin *****

    AND...

    I hope Bossip Staff is the first ones she sues.

    syndi

    Kimberly Elise is still an unknown actress! LoL but a good one :)

    AlbertCrazy

    I prefer the slim one, i’d like dating hot beautiful ladies on blackgirlsconnect.com. It makes me feel great.

    Afiya

    Queer keep it real, just keep it real!

    *snickers*

    weezy

    Can she sue and win for an open secret. But why does Latifah get so much heat and she is not the only one!

    up2nogood

    If she wasn’t so manly acting – it wouldnt be that obvious. How often does she try to look ladylike. Not often – she look very “how you doin” in this picture. Her gurl carrying a purse where is hers? She could have at least carried a murse.

    DF

    They look like the backcourt for a WNBA team.

    ***Gorgeous Black Women**

    People are going to trash you because you’re famous. Getting litigious about it will get you nowhere. Keira Knightley, Cameron D and Batsh*t Cruise are not exactly liked by the public.

    Debby

    People should really mind there own business. I think that Queen is a beautiful person and her work and songs speak for it self.. I feel that people should really leave her alone and what ever her preference is,it is only her business!! Just keepin it REAL!!!

    Tremblin Lips!

    AWWW HELL!

    The Queen!

    (or is it All Hail)

    Marquis de Sade

    LOL at Queen Latifa threatenin’ to get all litigious on *****S: WHEN DYKES ATTACK!

    jen

    @weezy because she is a sister that is doing very well in both markets. I guess she felt like she had to address it especially when you have family members that are not aware that you are lving that life style. Maybe she will come out one day, just not now. She is gay I jsut don’t get how anyone in her family hasn’t figured that out yet the only man she hangs with is her manager.

    ***Gorgeous Black Women**

    There is no way for this to sound not offensive to some, but I’m just going to say it anyway: you’d think that a personal trainer would want someone with a body like theirs. It’s not just her. At nearly her heaviest, Ricki Lake was messing with her old trainer though it looked like the only workout she was giving him was in bed. Jus sayin

    simone

    even though she got that breast reduction, the middle third is STILL trying to raise up…come on tif- sports bra….

    up2nogood

    And what does that damn key go to?

    Afiya

    Queer is on Larry King tonight.

    PRTTYBRWNGIRL

    What does she want people to say when she has a “friendly trainer”, Jeanette Jenkins, for several years and doesn’t lose any weight? We bet King tears up that little muscled-up Jeanette Jenkins at night.

    ****************************************************

    bossip u wrong .. she actually gained weight.. but what really annoys me with people like her is, i mean damn Queen we know u gay. people still accept her so why not stop pretending.

    Dalia

    That key goes to the motorcycle that her brother was killed on.

    ***Gorgeous Black Women**

    What she needs to do is take her lady friend to the Ivy, the restaurant that celebrities go to when they want to be photographed. Get an outside table and just go to first base and start rounding second right then and there. Cased closed.

    Lucy (the other one)

    @simone. if you want to stay in the closet then close the damn door.

    Moreaces

    Come on out Queen, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

    pickel

    I use to work for the Queen and who is she kidding? Apparently the news that the bloggers and all the rest of the world are reviewing is coming from some where. Like Britt they don’t just make this up. I wish she would just open the door up and finally come out. It would make it so much easier for people like me in the rest of the world.

    HOLLYWOOD BS

    Black celebrities in Hollywood never get enough credit. You can have a million lindsays and britneys but no one will every say s*** about white celebrities. However, you get one foxy brown and one tupac, the whole world starts talking about black celebrities.

    Here’s a woman who has gone through thick and thin in this game. She has risen from a female rap star to an oscar-nominated actress over the years and all she gets from Bossip are SEXUAL JOKES. WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED? AFTER ALL, BOSSIP IS OWNED BY A WHITE MAN.

    Lady

    I feel her on what she’s saying and all, but doesn’t EVERYONE thats talked bad about or lied on by the media go thru that….? She act like shes the only one… What about all the other lies & ***** that the media circulates about celebs…

    simone

    @up2nogood- queen’s brother, Lance died in a motorcycle some years ago- the key is to his bike….

    @lucy- she shouldnt have to stay in the damn house to get folks to stop talking about her…it aint like she licking *****es in the park AND then getting mad because people are talking…she is minding her own business…

    frida

    Bosssip, you would do the black community a world of

    good if you stopped always mentioning or making fun of gay people or entertainers or athletes.

    Stop diving the black community,it would be more constructive to unite.

    There are gay black people whom get beat up by other blacks due to their sexual preference.

    Queen Latifah is a cl***** act, Bossip you are NOT!

    frida

    opps, dividing not diving.

    YUP I SAID IT

    why are ya’ll so interested in her personal life????

    get a freaking life already, i mean we know she gay, but do she gotta come out and announce that sh**?

    this is just ANOTHER case of Black people tearing down successful black people.

    get a new job haters, the one you got is a dead end. no pay, no benefits and obviously no vactions!!!

    syndi

    lmao @ “licking *****es in the park”

    DeeDeeBaby

    I don’t know why she won’t just come out if she is gay. White folks will still love her either way.

    blackberry

    You’re foolish and stupid. They ain’t bothering *****ody, and it doesn’t concern you who Queen likes or don’t like. Keep your nose out of her crotch and lay off haterade.

    Dalia

    @ YUP I SAID IT:

    I have posted so much about my stand on people hollering the “gay” word, that I decided I wouldn’t do it this time.

    Thanks for doing it for me.

    PrettyMissSunshine

    I haven’t heard anybody use the term “haterade” in years. Thanks for the throwback @ Blackberry!!! lol

    Leave the Queen alone

    Everyone needs to chill out. If she is a lesbian, so what…who cares. She might never come out of the closet and it wouldn’t be surprising if she didn’t because everyone always makes such a big deal out of whether or not someone is gay/lesbian. It is ultimately her business and no one elses anyway…damn.

    tiray

    too funny…..

    u guys……..

    leave it be(weave free)

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Today

    I agree with you ???????????????????????????????????

    DeeDeeBaby

    I say “come out” because I feel like, why hide who you love? I’d hate to date ANYONE who has any kind of status and them turn around and say, “baby, I don’t want people to know that I date you because you don’t ‘fit in’.” I’d be like ***** you then **********a. I’m just saying…

    Just_Wanna_Know

    How does she intend on challenging reports about her relationship unless it’s not true? Just wanna know!

    YUP I SAID IT

    its funny how when Queen Latifah had a rap career and even after she starred in Living single that you didn’t hear this type of gargage spoke about her.

    It wasn’t until she became QUEEN LATIFAH (all caps)

    the superstar that we black people have been trying everything we can to dirty her name with this gay mess, I mean you didn’t hear all this from the “white folks” white people respect her and love her work and instead of being proud her as a successful black women we dispect her on blogs, its sad.

    maybe she don’t want to come out because look at what it temporarily did to Ellen Degenerous and Rosie O’Donnell careers and their careers only bounced back because they are white. white people love to see their people make a comeback. we on the other hand…

    i feel you Queen, that not fair that your family should read such trash, especially all you have done for black women in film and music, and charity work.

    could you imagine YOUR mama or little siter or brother reading negative things about you (even if true) ..come on now, she had a right to defend herself (and not by confirming rumours)

    Dalia

    @ Just_Wanna_Know:

    She wouldn’t have to prove that she isn’t; they would have to prove that she is.

    Whitney Paige

    The word dyke is as offensive to some as *****! Increase your hateful vocabulary and learn to play fair!

    Denebolo

    Funny how she circled around the subject without actually mentioning the subject. Wouldn’t call it being media savvy though.

    DeeDeeBaby

    YUP I SAID IT!

    Uh… I can only speak for myself, but she has always triggered my gaydar. I personally don’t care if she is a lesbian. I’ll still love everything that the Queen does and support her. I take issue with gay or lesbian being thought of as a “slur” or a put down. I don’t look at it like that at all, but if I say that I think someone is gay, people get all up in arms. Pfft. Whatever.

    keith

    @hollywood bs…

    no, bossip is owned by black women.you ever noticed how they are always citicising what some famous chick wore. you ever noticed how if you dont vote for obama then somehow you are a race traitor. you ever notice how they are extra hard on black female actresses. those are women traits.

    God's StepDaughter

    Oh Queen. Really it’s okay if you’re gay. The world is more accepting now.

    DeeDeeBaby

    @Whitney,

    Totally agree. But, this is just another example as people who are discriminated against being too damn ignorant to notice their own discrimination against others.

    Nita

    who cares if she’s gay??? ya’ll are some f***ing haters.

    DeeDeeBaby

    Nice generalization there, Keif.

    NubianGoddez

    She need to fall back, they have never printed nothing about her gay behind that was a lie. with that being said I still love me some Queen, but ma come out the closet already!

    PRTTYBRWNGIRL

    she wont be coming out any time soon .. if Jodie Foster hid in the closet for 14 yrs Queen aint comin out til it get musty & funky in that closet & moths nibblin on her…

    I Know The Truth Bossip

    Owned by Whites ppl that employee Black Woman to do their bidding for them. Look the information up for yourself.

    YUP I SAID IT

    why she need to come out…for your entertainment?

    is it so you can say “i told you so.”

    what is up with the Gay witch hunt?

    it seems like everytime i log on or turn on the t.v or radio. there is this big witch hunt for who is gay, i think we need to turn this around and look at the ones asking, I’ll bet we’ll uncover a few undercover “*****s and dykes”

    Sparkle

    testing 1 2 3

    BeHappy

    how can you sue someone for writing the truth!? Is King Latifuah-whatever actually gonna PROVE in court that she is no muff diver!?

    Good Luck biatch!!

    Afiya

    @ Yup I said it…

    Sorry but the first time I layed eyes on her I knew she laid pipe…way back when she first came out (but not outta the closet).

    Sorry…we don’t agree…but she carries herself as a butch…even in her red carpet getup…shoulders laid bad just like a butch.

    She Queer Latifah! KIR!

    weezy

    I actually think Latifah looks butch in those Paparazzi shot, other than that she seems feminine to me. TMZ caught her and Missy hanging out at some club yesterday

    Afiya

    bad=back.

    …shoulders laid back…

    Marquis de Sade

    @ I Know The Truth Bossip

    “Owned by Whites ppl that employee Black Woman to do their bidding for them.”

    You make that sound like a bad thing. Someone must take responsibility for blackwomen and guide them…If not, they will run amok and breed indescriminately and live unproductive lives like their mutant-strain cousins: THE HOODRAT. You should be thankful.

    O-K!

    What does she want people to say when she has a “friendly trainer”, Jeanette Jenkins, for several years and doesn’t lose any weight? We bet King tears up that little muscled-up Jeanette Jenkins at night.

    *********

    ROFLMAO!! Bossip, yall wrong for that one!

    ***** *****

    damn…bossip.

    its britney ***** lol

    yo bossip ya’ll need to come off this bull i over hear in ny celebrating my girl aaliyah birthday R.I.P BABY GIRL LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

    Exquisite One

    …if she could sue bossip…I hope she takes it to you!! :)

    ChineseChickenWingz

    hmmm everyone is gay…. dudes might be bake cakes and cookies & have milk type gay but not a *****sucker…females like tyra banks could be touchy feely on females type gay but not a ***** licker lol lol all im sayin is we all flawed…all those posted before me are flawed

    DeeDeeBaby

    I can only speak for myself, but I wouldn’t find it the least bit “entertaining” for her to come out. It’s more about getting to the point where people realize that this is normal. Homosexuality extends even to the animal kingdom. There is too much ignorance in the black community, in particular, when it comes to people who are gay.

    I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, being gay isn’t what causes problems… It’s peoples REACTION to gay people that causes problem. People should be able to go out as couples, regardless of if it is same sex or not, regardless of if it is interracial or not, and be free to enjoy themselves without being discriminated against. The only people who should be discriminated against, imho, are the Ignorant.

    famou$ dude

    like real talk.. why does it concern people what other people’s sexual preference is.. does it better yall lives? its her job to entertain people.. i don’t understand why people be ALL up in celebs business like they know them. i know damn well it would annoy the hell out of me if people wanted to know what girl i’m dating, where i’m going.. can’t go to the damn store without a camera in my face. i know thats the price you pay with being famous but come on mayne.. let them live their lives.. one they step out the studio they should be able to have a normal life. the only thing we need to know about is when her next movie is coming out.. not who she’s f*cking.. get off her cl*t.. and yall call her the homo.. lmao.. yall are pathetic.. GET A F*CKIN’ LIFE

    YUP I SAID IT

    yes well we disagee, and the arguement isn’t if she is gay.

    it is if she should have to “come out”

    and i don’t think many people are interested in her romantically or sexually so its not a shock or letdown or loss of fans situation like it would be for a male celebrity or female like ALICIA KEYS or Halle Berry (sad this thing is it probably would be celebrated if someone looks like these woman came out.)

    so my question is why are we interested…are we attracted to her? we’ll we be broken hearted? i mean come on, we are talkng Queen Latifah here.

    Dalia

    Can I have an interpreter?

    NubianGoddez

    @ I Know The Truth Bossip and your point is??? who give a ***** at the end of the day its a mf gossip blog!! you silly mfs jumping sites and trying to start a gossip blog revolution need to kill yourselves!! are your lives that pathetic?? don’t wait kill yourselves now!!!!

    ChineseChickenWingz

    we wearin this gay thing out ask wendy williams and everyone is gay gay cept her…How U Doin? in the next 15 yrs being gay gay will be 10x more acceptable than it is today

    bink

    “Sheeiit! She mightaswell just camp out in a sleepin bag in front of the courthouse; though that ain’t quite as comfortable as the closet.”

    ^^@ Baby Please…..LOL U crazy!!!

    I don’t have any problem with Latifah being a Les. I really don’t know what she’s mad about. They’re printing the truth. Back in my younger days I used to hang with these bi chicks….no homo…LOL…I always wanted to say that….Anyway, we used to go to this one LA spot, Peanuts…..and sho nuff she was up there with her girlfriend, who was one of the strippers there at the time. All the celebs (Jay-Z, Snoop, Prince, etc.) used to be up there, so I guess she thought she could blend in as a celeb, but we all knew why she was really up there!!!!

    Dalia

    @ Yup I Said It:

    I’ve always felt that the way some people in here are so quick to holler “gay” makes them very suspect themselves.

    ChineseChickenWingz

    they are gay and closer to bein gay gay…they just pointing the spotlight on someone else so they wont be investigated

    famou$ dude

    deedeebaby.. thats real talk. i don’t know what the big fuss is about. those who state they don’t like gay people or whatever its cause they probably gay themselves.. people just need to leave people the f*ck alone. whatever people do its their business. they wanna say gays are going to hell.. people be acting like them and God be having meetings where people gon’ go. smh.. its sad man.. if someone wants to f*ck the same sex thats their business.. them doing what they do isn’t going to affect me and its not affecting me. stop blaming tv cause they show gay scenes or whatever you don’t like it change the channel its simple as that. yall b*tches and negros complain to damn much when what yall do is no different what the gays do.. remember a sin is a sin..

    YUP I SAID IT

    Queen hold ya head up girl and continued to achieve.

    I, for 1, am proud of you. you came from nothing and made it something. I respect that and I don’t care about ya personal life, cuz I got my own to worrying about…sorry hatas, get ya own!

    Dolla Bill

    Latifah’s right though. She doesn’t bother anybody. She keeps to herself and she’s very successful. I actually feel sorry for her. The paparazzi and media should just let her be.

    YUP I SAID IT

    ok thats what i am saying tho @Dalia

    famou$ dude

    yup i said it.. for your fyi alicia keys is gay. not cause she don’t dress like a man doesn’t mean anything. she didn’t have a man til they start asking her if she gay and they only ask her that cause when she first came out she won an award and when she got up she grabbed her crotch like she was man and since than she’s been suspect.. so, there are a lot of gay women in hollywood and its none of yall business if they come out or not.. how bout people start going around and asking you straight b*tches how many of yall suck d*ck how would yall feel about that?

    YUP I SAID IT

    Famous dude

    (about Alicia)i know that dude..but thanks for telling the world

    Dalia

    @ YUP I SAID IT:

    Yep, we are in total agreement. You keep saying it and I’ll keep co-signin’ and, eventually, people will stop this “out the gay person” madness.

    YUP I SAID IT

    we making the same point, dawg, you might want to read my comments….but anyway

    DeeDeeBaby

    @Yup I Said it!

    Well, I guess I am having a different conversation because I was responding to you saying that it’s because she’s famous that we are saying that she’s a lesbian. My response was that I always thought she was a lesbian. It trickled on down to me explaining that when I say that I think someone is gay, it doesn’t mean that I am putting them down because I don’t look at it as a slur… Which was in response to you claiming that saying this “dirties her name.” The woman played a lesbian and tongued down a woman for millions of people to see. No straight man could EVER do that and STILL claim to be straight.

    At any rate, now that you have narrowed down what you are talking about, my answer is, no she shouldn’t HAVE to come out if she doesn’t want to. My first comment on this topic was a joke.

    YUP I SAID IT

    @Dalia

    sadly it probably won’t stop cuz so many people have no lives, they live vicariously thru celebs and actual working people…lol. but like one person said” in about 10 or 15 years it will be more common or accepted” and it won’t be such a hot topic.

    Sugarless

    Slow news day Bossip?

    You write some of the most horrible stuff about people – which says a lot about your happiness.

    Z

    gay as *****. she and her girl make a cute couple.

    come out already. we know it just want you to say it.

    why? cause we nosy!!! yeah!!!

    DeeDeeBaby

    Bossip is not writing for anyones happiness, they are writing for gossip and gossip ain’t gossip without the juice. Sorry to break it to you.

    No, seriously… I say that most people in media aren’t very comp*****ionate people. Be it the evening news or these gossip sites.

    YUP I SAID IT

    oh ..cool. I feel you.

    I look at celebs all the time and sometimes think “they might be or they are ” but it is just that..a thought. but to go on a public format and try to expose or demand that someone “out” themselves that is crazy. I got my own skeletons, how i gon go and dig up yours, you feel me?

    and by this statement i am not speaking about you deedeebaby, i am sure that not what you are doing.

    I am sure this is just entertainment for some on here and some comments and designed to make people laugh and have no real truth to them but you gotta remeber that these celebs read blogs to and so do the families…and even though its in fun somebody can get hurt and has a right to public respond and she did that, and very well i might add. go La

    YUP I SAID IT

    ok time to punch out. gotta go home, see ya tommorrow my cool peeps, and of course, Hatas inc.

    DeeDeeBaby

    @YISI

    I understand what you are saying. I look at the Britney situation, for instance, and say all the time that it would suck if a camera was around every time I flubbed up. It can’t be easy being a public figure. My best friend is gay, so I guess when I see a topic regarding homosexuality, it’s hard for me NOT to get on my soapbox. I just want us all to love one another! Is that so wrong? :p

    On another note, if I was related to a celebrity, I would avoid the tabloids and gossip sites like the plague. It’s hard to avoid everything when even CNN covers the super popwrecks, but in general, you don’t hear about black gossip unless you are looking for it.

    Crazy

    Wouldnt it be funny if Queen Latifa made this statement in between slobbing down this trainer !!!

    Renee

    Ur blog is right! What does she expect if she wanted to be a *****ody she would’ve stayed in Queens or where ever she from. Only Hollywood employs paparazzi’s so get over it. When I read the blog I started…LMFAO!!!

    Dalia

    @ Crazy:

    No, it wouldn’t.

    Kellz

    Dude! I really want to comment about King/Queen, but I’m scared she/he gonna beat my *****!

    Martin Luther King jr Was A REPUBLICAN

    it was the Democrats who fought to keep blacks in slavery and p*****ed the discriminatory Black Codes and Jim Crow laws. The Democrats started the Ku Klux Klan to lynch and terrorize blacks. The Democrats fought to prevent the p*****age of every civil rights law beginning with the civil rights laws of the 1860’s, and continuing with the civil rights laws of the 1950’s and 1960’s.”

    Dirty little secret folks…it was democrats in congress that mostly voted against the civil rights bill… one of them being john f kennedy…

    the demcrats of today are using you guys as *****s man….you notice how ever generation minorities keep voting for them and the black struggle never gets any better…

    they want to keep black people poor and in need and on welfare so they can keep them as a voting bloc…

    its the same thing with the global warming scam…keep people scared and in need of them to fix it…

    but the truth is only yo as an individual can fix your own life and you need the government out of it so you can put the power in your own hands…the victim mentality must die and there needs to be a strong movement of individualism in african american communities where they see themselves as a person with goals and aspirations before they see themselves as a stereotype or ethnicity

    its funny how when Queen Latifah had a rap career and even after she starred in Living single that you didn’t hear this type of gargage spoke about her.

    It wasn’t until she became QUEEN LATIFAH (all caps)

    the superstar that we black people have been trying everything we can to dirty her name with this gay mess, I mean you didn’t hear all this from the “white folks” white people respect her and love her work and instead of being proud her as a successful black women we dispect her on blogs, its sad.

    maybe she don’t want to come out because look at what it temporarily did to Ellen Degenerous and Rosie O’Donnell careers and their careers only bounced back because they are white. white people love to see their people make a comeback. we on the other hand…

    i feel you Queen, that not fair that your family should read such trash, especially all you have done for black women in film and music, and charity work.

    could you imagine YOUR mama or little siter or brother reading negative things about you (even if true) ..come on now, she had a right to defend herself (and not by confirming rumours)

    ******************************************

    @YISI -

    I disagree that people are picking on the Queen more now because she was more famous. The difference is, in her early career and when Living Single was on, there were no gossip blogs, and not many people have internet in their homes. Nowadays, people want to know all your biz, and paps want to get your photos at all times, A-List or Z-List.

    Either way, I know she’s queer but it’s her business and I got love for the Queen regardless.

    Well

    If she’s gay she should just come out! People are talking about it regardless….and it’s not like anybody is going to care. she’s black, that’s the biggest issue anybody is ever going to have with her. she should stop fighting it and just say it already!

    JEALOUS 1'S ENVY

    ***** BOSSIP FOR HATING ON QUEEN FOR NO REASON BUT HEY JEALOUS ONE’S ALWAYS EVNY AND BOSSIP IS NO DIFFERENT. I BET BOSSIP IS RAN BY SUM TIRED, FAT, SLOPPY, NO MAN HAVING, RAN DOWN LOOKING HOE ..THAT’S WHY SHE’S ALWAYS HATING ON SUCCESSFUL BLACK WOMEN..KILL THE HATE IN 08!

    JEALOUS 1'S ENVY

    AND IF SHE IS GAY WHY THE ***** DO SHE GOTTA COME OUT?????

    TO PROVE WHAT AND TO WHO????

    I’LL WAIT………( SILENCE)

    PEOPLE NEED TO WORRY MORE ABOUT THEMSELVES AND LESS ABOUT SOMEONE THAT’S ALREADY WERE YOUR DYING TO BE!!!!!

    The Hater Hater

    DEFINITION: A celebrity is a widely-recognized or famous person who commands a high degree of public and media attention.

    CELEBRITIES are afforded a lot of money, fame, attention, perks and a lavish lifestyle. Well, if you not only accept the good parts, but also EXPECT it then you had damn well better be prepared for the downside of extreme attention. Absolutely no one can guarantee or expect that the attention will only focus on what YOU consider to be appropriate.

    MESSAGE TO QUEEN: *****, deal with it or get out!!!

    P.S. You are a DYKE; everyone knows it including the long list of family members!!!

    DM

    Just come on out, girl. Threats don’t scare anyone.

    imrightdammit

    @HaterHater

    Yep, I agree with some parts, like celebrities get the benefits of money along with tons of other lavish perks, so you have to take the good with the bad. If you don’t want to be a celebrity, then more away, don’t make any more movies/music, and get a regular job. I think she’s being a spoiled baby. They feel entitled to have everything their way and life just isn’t like that. Well, REAL life isn’t like that.

    Ghost

    I want to know who is bashing her for being gay? Every time I hear about her it’s praise for her movie work (except Perfect Holiday) and her makeup line.

    And I find it so funny that blacks will bash gays (since they are more accepted in Hollywood than us nowadays) and yet look this-

    One thing I noticed about many of the black boys in my school and church. They don’t give any guy they think is gay trouble and will open up to them.

    Maybe some of these folks that bash gays are jealous of that.

    Ima beat y’alls a$$es for messin’ with Dana!

    Dammit! lol!!!

    And BOSSIP–I lubs y’all like a play cousin but yoos dead wrong for the “King” Latifah!

    I’m a little heated right about now! I thought I told y’all before ’bout that “King” sh*t! The only King I know is Dr. Martin Lutha the King and THAT’s Kang!

    Get it right dammit! Lmao!!!!!!!!!!

    Another thought dammit–

    What difference does it make if she is gay? Sh*t my mortgage and car payment will STILL be due! Ima still need to eat, sleep, ***** and eventually die!

    Her being gay, straight or curvy ain’t gonna change nothin’ in my life!

    One more thought dammit–

    When do I get to change the topic?

    Shootingstar

    LOL! Bossip, y’all wrong.

    rachel & lil sis

    Man what is happening 2008 ,,,,all the DL posers are being put out on blast.

    But y’all got to agree with Bossip on this one case…she has been with her “trainer” for quite some time and all she got was a breast reduction thats it . I mean come on Queen is a smart business women, she would not be keeping an employee around the clock for the past three years to have Zero results.

    This chic is doing some multitasking and one of it includes serving queen breakfeast in bead : “sea food basket”

    California Pixie

    Bossip the Queen post is just plain rude. I for one am estatic to see a plus size black Covergirl. Straight or gay, her infectious energy, confidence and ability to cross over to other entertainment forums (music, movies, theater, television) is inspiring and gives girls someone to look up to.

    At least she’s not slobbering down her partner in public. Again, straight or gay it’s disgusting.

    She carries herself very well in public. There are millions of big boned women who work out and have decent diets / eating habits but can’t seem to slim down.

    prima

    Uh, yeah okay, sure. If it weren’t true it wouldn’t bother her so much she’d laugh, if off AND it’s not hurting her carrer.

    Uneek

    Lesbian or not I love Latifah. She is a beautiful Black woman holdin it down. Now with that said, is it just me or did she play that SET IT OFF role too well? Just a thought…

    mstrendydiva

    All I can say is that as much money as she makes, she should be able to buy a bra that fits so her new ***** don’t spill out the top…not a good look…gay or not…

    The Hater Hater

    Thxs…IAMRIGHTDAMMIT

    The comment that I posted earlier (7:17 PM) basically stating, a celebrity must take the good with the bad, so Queen should quit whining, may have been a bit harsh.

    After further thought and reading of some of the other posts after mine (such as lalalatina) I think maybe a lot of us are not taking in consideration that “coming out of the closet” could very well make her image unsuitable for some of the roles that she may want. The examples that “lalalatina” gave of Degenerous and ODonnell are quite relative to this subject. I cannot remember ANY movies that either did where they were the romantic interest, AFTER they came out of the closet. Apparently, they were no longer able to be cast in that type of role. Well, if it negatively impacted these white women, film makers would probably put Queen’s film career in a very very very small box; she definitely would not be casted in any romantic role. I guess she has made the decision to continue the charade for the sake of her career.

    FOR THOSE OF US THAT NOW SIT IN JUDGEMENT, WE SHOULD ASK OURSELVES; HOW MANY OF US WOULD DO THE SAME FOR OUR CAREERS IF WE WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE IN HER SHOES?????

    about it

    Bossip is wrong and is supposed to be wrong — it’s a gossip site. Unfortunately, gossip sells in the USA — through tabloids and entertainment news and those media outlets are owned by corporations. Don’t feel sorry for Dana Owens: I am sure she owns several shares of stock in these entertainment corporations and if, if, she sues anyone for anything, she’ll get paid with stock options — trust me.

    sydni

    IMO, if she would just come out the closet to her family she wouldnt have to worry about them hearing it thru tha media first…We all know it, stop foolin ur self!

    ELove

    @The Hater Hater… I can’t speak for you BUT I don’t want ANY PARTS of being in Dana’s shoes!!!

    I’ve never thought of being anybody else, I’m a Mature Black Male… But if I did BEING a Black Undercover-Gay Female wouldn’t be a Playa’s First Choice (Yeh Digg) ;-)

    Yeah, we all know Latifa is slobbing down the silky igloo, but that’s her business. She has her own reason(s) for not telling the world that she’s bumping uglies with a woman. In fact, she may never come out, but it’s not secret she’s been hiding in the lick-her cabinet.

    The Hater Hater

    Hold on, my bother, E Love!! When I referred to “being in her shoes”, I only meant her skyrocketing career and the cheddar that she rakes in….NOT her lifestyle choices. I am also a mature Black man and my car does not roll in that direction either. Now, with that out of the way, even though you may be happy with your life, can you honestly say that you would be opposed to having that kind of success?

    Da R

    @kgates

    stop lying.

    maryspring

    Is she gay? No, she posted an account at largeplace.com. She may be seeking a relationship with big man there.

    tj

    First off she is clearly a lesbian?

    Secondly, she has some self-hatred issues. She seems to think that someone noticing/acknowledging the mere presence and existence of the love of her life is trash talking her. It’s not like someone said she was cheating on her girlfriend with other women, or that she raped a 14 year old. There is nothing wrong with being gay and there is nothing wrong with noticing when someone obviously is.

    Thirdly. What lawsuit. She can not prove slander certainly not malicious intent when this woman is with her 24/7. Also no gossip column is so stupid to make a claim against a b list celebrity. They will say “rumored girlfriend” ‘trainer and special friend” etc. None of which she can sue over.

    She needs to talk to her lawyers first before getting in the press trynda talk strong.

    YUP I SAID IT

    @lalalatina

    you are right there weren’t any blogs before and many people didn’t internet. so i guess you are right that is why. but i truely think people didn’t care then. I mean what about Mc lyte, lady of rage and Boss? there are so many suspect people out, and there have been gay people since the beginning of time so why are we interested in it now is my point….what with this Witch hunt for gays is what i am saying!

    YUP I SAID IT

    and just because you re a Celeb and you get special treatment doesn’t mean “deal with it”

    first of all of famous work VERY hard to establish a career and maintain a career so its not glitz and glamour and some easy road were their every need is met. I think that common public are very Jealous of famous people and now that we have the means to express this ENVY on blogs and boards that we do so…and in the most nastiest of ways.

    I am no exlusion to this i have said some things to about Celebs but as i get older and have had the chance to meet some Celebs and work with them alot of them are very sweet and nice and nothing like the image that Record company or management company creates for them. so i guess i can be bias at times.

    Fiddy

    I hope she does,what she does behind closed doors is her buisness. She has always been private and she has that right!! She is here to entertain us not tell her private moments, like they’re someones buisness.

    Bossip needs to shut the ***** up already…yall some disrespectful mother*****as…get a *****in life *****es

    Angel_Minded

    If Queen admitted she was gay, then she would be outta of a job. All her films cast her as a heterosexual, so there’s no way in hell she’d have a career. Just ask Ellen Degeneres…lol

    Harlem Chic

    I feel all of yall coming to Latifah’s defense…now will yall do the same for Eddie Murphy…Hollywood’s number one box office hitter? The man is gay and errrrbody is up in his business tombout he should come out the closet…..He should be able to do what Latifah is doing…which is stone cold frontin.

    I don’t like what Eddie has done to Mel B…but that kneegrow is funnier than all get out.

    soundgarden

    people have been saying queen latifahs been gay for years. this aint nothin new. she used to be up in the the gay clubs hard. you never hear, or see her linked up to no man. NEVER. the ***** is gay. point blank, period. end of story.

    stop the madness

    for years being gay in society was a stigma. it’s not as much anymore but it’s still not totally accepted. this woman has a right to her privacy. she became an entertainer to do just that entertain. not to be scrutinized for whom she is sharing her life with. none of us would want someone shining a black light on our sheets.

    ELove

    @The Hater Hater… I SEE your point and 99.99 percent would probably want that Fame-N-Celebrity but Fortunately for me I had Famous Relatives and Friends of Famous Celebrities Hip me to the game at a very early age… So NO I don’t want No Parts of being Very Famous or the Perks that come with that ;-)

    DR. FUNK

    Little Jeanette probably gets off on the SMOTHERING.Just the full weight of QUEEN with that strap-on must send girlie into MULTIPLES.

    ELove

    DAMN @Dr Funk… NOW WHY did you go there!!!

    I can’t sit here and LIE, I have NEVER Imagined or THOUGHT of Queen w/ a Strap-on (Just Disgusting)

    Now I got to go watch Some *****o so can get THAT Visual Out-Of-My-Mind ;-)

    about it

    she became an entertainer to do just that entertain. not to be scrutinized for whom she is sharing her life with.

    ____________________________

    I could see if she had been an innocent party to a sensational story — then the scrutiny would be unfortunate, but Dana Owens worked very hard to be in that set and she knew what it would be about, so unless you are 3 years old — everyone in and outside of the entertainment biz knows that their private life is fair game. Is it unfair — yes, but are the compensated quite nicely — hell yeah!

    Just Bein' Real

    We bet King tears up that little muscled-up Jeanette Jenkins at night.

    crazypants

    If the Black community wasn’t so damn hateful towards gays, then maybe latifah and other gay celebrities would come out. Seriously, who’s out in the Black community? Jay from ANTM. Is Da Brat officially out?

    Everytime you publish a picture of a Black athlete goofing around you get 400 posts calling the man a “fruitcake”.

    Stop giving gays hell – and people’ll free to be themselves.

    Tealeaf

    Latifah ain’t hurting *****ody, she don’t use drugs, and don’t go in public without her panties..she is a hard working woman…I don’t know if she is gay or not..I’m not interested in her personal life.

    Celebrity CSI

    LOL@Bossip. King Latifah as y’all so eloquently put it needs to man up. This broad has been lying since day 1 about her sexuality. If Homosexuality was right, why HIDE it? The reason why straight people don’t have to “come out of the closet” is because it’s the correct thing to DO. Man & woman. Enough said. There are a slew of Hollywood types including singers, rappers, actresses & actors who are gay and hiding what they are because of the backlash they would receive. It may be accepted more in mainstream but that will always be WRONG. Period. The end.

    that-chick

    First of all, she aint got no younger brothers and siters……it was her and her brother , and he p*****ed away a long time ago….so why she lying. and how do u sue anyone for telling the truth…she just running off at the mouth. U got a trainer and yet now you the new spokesperson for Jenny Craig….. we all know that miss girl is one of the kids…and i personally am ready for her to come out…..if she wants to stand for anything, and be the person she trully is, its a must she does it…..give little girls around the world a positive example of a strong BLACK lesbian…..the whites come out with no problem…but blacks feel, “why she gotta” she stand firm on everything else in her life and career….and we’ve all come to love latifay for her take me as i am act…..but how about she teach us to fully take her as she is…and that is gay….it doesnt have to define her, but it is her….LADIES FIRST, queen…we know….and we love you anyway

    yolanda

    Only people that don’t feel good about themselves worry about what others are doing! Why don’t everyone on these websites find time to help someone inthe community. Then you won’t spend so much time worrying about others. Go to church in 08, God is soon to come.

    FeliceLove

    First of all…Bossip should continue to make fun of celebs/athletes because it is sheer entertainment and nothing else. Bossip is not the place to continue the march for freedom from our oppressors. There are other sites for that. Secondly, I haven’t seen Bossip say anything destructive about the black community, it’s simply people just reporting on what celebs do and some of it’s funny. ie “King Latifah” My stance on this, is that King Latifah is a man. She needs to put on some makeup, let go of the sweatpants and start looking like the beautiful lady we see on screen. If that’s not her, she can at least glam things up a little bit. I mean, with my good looks, if I had a personal trainer I’d walk around just like Mimi regardless of “any personal statements I had to make”. It would be different if she had a man AND wore sweats all the time. I mean, her and her trainer look two lesbians on their way to a gay bar.

    Anyway…King Latifah should smile and Be Happy!

    I’ll still go see her new movie! I love King!

    Youngblood

    I just think at this point in time in Queen’s career it would not hurt her at all to come “out”.She is so well established in the industry she would still get the love of the public and her peers.

    California Pixie

    I honestly don’t believe “coming out” would harm her career. She is very well established. She’s not just doing things…she’s running things.

    For just as many people who won’t go see a movie because there is a gay actor in it there are just as many who will.

    Whatever her reasons are for not coming out they’re hers.

    Also, whether there are truth to the comments being made about her or not doesn’t mean they can’t and don’t hurt her.

    There are so many publications, blogs, gossip sites, etc. inundating folks with bad news and bull***** at some point it has to effect a person.

    Okay, now seriously, we really do need to stop being obsessively anti-gay as a black community. We have lots of love and comp*****ion, I think it’s the last bastion of acceptable abuse toward a group of people in this country, and we should be helping to eradicate it.

    so the ***** what if she’s bi or a lesbian BOSSIP? it’s her life and her business! homosexuality is NOT a disease. You all are really ignorant and disgusting for making POSTS about it!

    sick-of-*****s

    Why is it that black people are always worried about the wrong *****. It is no ones business what her sexual preference. Who cares? She is a successful black woman. Uplift and stop hating. Its always the *****s who arent doing ***** that have the most to say. She probably spends more on her woman than any sorry black man would spend on his. Black men are too busy worried about pimping and spreading diseases with their promiscuity to take care of their woman. If she has someone who treats her the way she wants to be treated, then good for her!

    Jeanette might actually be the “MAN” in that liason. Or they take turns…..I knew Latifah was in the closet a long time ago. People have on blinders like horses.

    Smootchie

    Jeanette used to be a spin instructor at Crunch in LA in Sunset Blvd. She was one of those Black people who came from Canada. Now, while she was losing her weight training others at Crunch, she had a man. She was in a relationship with her man. But like most Canadians I’ve experienced, they don’t know what they are, Black, white etc. She was no exception, she was very “sometime-ish” with the Blacks that took her cl***** and always socialized with the Whites. I decided not to take her cl***** any more and join another instructor “Bob” whose now on “The Biggest Loser”. Years later, she was also a member of the Agape church really trying to search for something. But I heard that she was very judgemental and had a chip on her shoulders. At that time she had already met King and I almost bet she was confused – should I or shouldn’t I. But Jeannette is an opportunist and saw how she could advance being King’s woman. She won Fear Factor on TV and was driving around in a Hummer. Her game has definitely stepped up being King’s woman.

    megareel

    Smootchie: I am too familiar with Jeanette teaching at Crunch, and I want to say that in taking her cl*****, and I am black, that Jeanette was the bomb. she was very kind to me, and she encouraged me to continue doing what i was trying to do. because of Jeanette, my cardio sculpt cl*****es are off the chain. Again, I am a sista, and she was very helpful to me. Let’s not hate on her for winning at fear factor. she won that ***** hands down. Just as she handled herself on the show, is how she handled herself while teaching her cl*****es, with skill. Queen Latifah’s weight problem it not Jeanette’s fault. If she really really worked with Jeanette, she’d look like Jeanette. Jeanette’s goal is for everyone she trains to look very good. I am not mad at Jeanette for being what you’d call an opportunist. Here in Los Angeles, everybody is looking for an opportunity. Everybody wants to drive a Hummer, and everybody wants to be in Jeanette’s shoes, so get the f*** off of Jeanette. I am sorry that you had a negative experience with her, but I didn’t. submitted by the “Dopest” Fit Teacher
