Queen Latifah showed up and showed off her slimmer figure on the red carpet of Will Smith's movie premiere of Hancock
this week in Los Angeles.
I've been giving Latifah a hard time lately because since January the Jenny Craig spokeswoman didn't seem to be losing any weight. In fact, unlike previous Jenny Craig celebrity spokepersons Kirstie Alley and Valerie Bertinelli, no weight loss figure was being mentioned in the commercials tracking Laitfah's weight loss.
Well last night I caught Latifah in an interview with The Insider on the red carpet, where Latifah confessed to losing 20 lbs. and that she may keep on losing more.
Well done Latifah! Well done.
Today Show's Al Roker will be the host of NBC's 'Celebrity Family Feud'.
Tristan Wilds who is best known for his work on The Wire is set to be the new black face of CW11's 90210
Wilds will be playing Dixon, the adopted son of The Mills family. Hear what Tristan had to say about his role in the clip below:
According to the New York Post, MTV will now run political ads on their network:
Last night I slept through watched BET's one claim to fame, the 2008 BET Awards.
And while, BET calls this awards ceremony the 'hottest ticket in television', I was not impressed.
Normally it's the lackluster performances, ridiculous outfits or bad host(s) that makes me want to reach for the remote after the first 30 minutes but this time around it had to be the ridiculous scripts given to the "celebs" to read off the teleprompter throughout the show. 
The award for the most offensive joke of the night goes to none other than Niecy Nash.
Nash poked fun at the recent adoption of African babies by white celebs Madonna and Angelina Jolie by bringing up 3 white children on stage that she joked were her new adopted children. And while I love our black people for being able to poke fun at ourselves, this joke was just in poor taste.
How stupid do black people look poking fun at white people who are adopting babies in Africa when we ourselves haven't done so?
A few week's back I posed the question if BET Has Gotten Any Better since Reginald Hudlin's tenure? Now looking back, I really should have asked if the network has gotten any better since Debra Lee's tenure because I can't imagine the president and chief operating officer of BET approving that this joke be included in the ceremony script.
While I could not find a clip of the 'joke' just yet on the internet, take a listen to what this half white viewer had to say about it.
"The BET Awards was ghetto...nasty, dumb and ridiculous."I could not agree with him more.
So a while back I posed that question, What The Hell Is A Size Satisfaction?
What I really was trying to say was 'when the hell is Queen Latifah going to shed some pounds having been a spokesperson for Jenny Craig since January'?
Well maybe Latifah reads BONTV because in a recent interview with People magazine, Latifah had this to say:
It's not "about getting skinny,...my intention was to lose five to 10 percent of my body weight because it makes a difference with health related issues, and I achieved that goal in a couple of months. I'm excited about this weight loss."
"My jeans are looser, I feel more energetic," she said of shedding the weight. "People dig it. They come up to me and say 'I'm glad you're talking about the health side of it.' People get that message, which is important too."
"They see that I'm doing this for the health reasons but also say, 'She's still representing for the big girls. She hasn't abandoned us!'" Latifah added. "This is me doing something for me, but if I am going to be a role model I hope people can catch on."
