In related news, it’s being reported that she, along with Victoria Beckham, is in line to take Paula Abdul’s spot in the upcoming season of American Idol. Despite reports of Jennifer Lopez being set to be the new judge, reports state that she’s only been asked to do a couple of guest spots in the future. But all of this is pure speculation as nothing has been confirmed by Fox or American Idol execs.

D/L: QUEEN LATIFAH – PEOPLE

Rapper/actor Common and rapper/singer/actress Queen Latifah were spotted on the streets of Manhattan in New York City Tuesday afternoon (Jul 28) as they filmed scenes for their new movie “Just Wright.”

The movie, set to release sometime in 2010, revolves around a sports trainer who finds herself falling in love with a professional basketball player while rehabilitating him from a career-threatening injury.

In a move that surprised damn near everyone, Lil Kim and Cyndi Lauper performed “Time After Time” on stage together Saturday night (Jul 18) at the Mandela Day 46664 Celebration Concert … and Lil Kim sang! Albeit, Kim didn’t do very well with her vocals but we give her credit for being bold enough to do something like that in front of so many people. With a little more confidence and some vocal training, homegirl might be able to carry a little tune!

Alicia Keys, Will.i.am, Aretha Franklin and more also helped Nelson Mandela celebrate his 91st birthday at the annual 46664 event, which was held this year at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall. Continue reading for more pics and for the video of Kim performing.

Perhaps the most touching moment of Michael Jackson’s public memorial at the Staples Center in Los Angeles was when his 11-year-old daughter, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, made her impromptu speech about her dad:

“Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine. I just want to say I love him so much.”

She then broke down in tears and was immediately consoled by her aunt Janet, who was standing right beside her the entire time. A very sad and touching moment indeed. Continue reading for that video and videos of all of the people (Brooke Shields, Queen Latifah, his brother Marlon Jackson and more) who went up to say what Michael Jackson meant to them and to the world.

Here Jamie Foxx can be seen paying tribute to Michael Jackson (comedically, of course) as the host of the 2009 BET Awards, which aired live from Los Angeles Sunday night (Jun 28) on BET. Jamie Foxx is probably one of the few people who can make light of a sad situation and have everyone laughing and crying at the same time. The BET Awards was supposed to dedicate the entire show to Michael, per the press release sent out Friday, but failed to impress.

The show itself was pretty good, but they should have never mentioned dedicating the show to MIchael if they didn’t have the time to do it right. That said, we really hope they put together an entire special to honor the late King of Pop so they can at least try to save face. But for now, continue reading for photos of Soulja Boy, Jay-Z, Monica, Beyonce, Ne-Yo and many more celebrities who participated in this year’s BET Awards.

Queen Latifah recently revealed in her July 2009 cover story for Essence Magazine that as a child, she was sexually abused by a teenager who was taking care of her.

“He violated me,” she says of the abuser. “I never told anybody; I just buried it as deeply as I could and kept people at an arm’s distance. I never really let a person get too close to me. I could have been married years ago, but I had a commitment issue.” Eventually, she opened up to her parents, who separated when she was young.

Beyonce caused quite a stir last night as the haters talked about her choice of attire for this year’s Academy Awards. We see nothing wrong with her dress though. We also need to let it be known that even though our girl Taraji P. Henson didn’t actually win an Oscar, the fact that she was nominated should definitely be celebrated. Who knew that “Yvette from Baby Boy” would be nominated for an Oscar just 8 years later? Hit the link below for more pics from the red carpet.

Rapper/singer/actress Queen Latifah was robbed last Monday (Dec. 29th), and thieves stole over $10,000 worth of jewelry from her luxury villa in Tobago. Investigators believe the theft was an inside job and may have been committed by a member of the house and grounds staff at Stone Haven Villas in Black Rock Tobago.

According to reports published by Trinidad and Tobago’s newsday, investigators said there was no forced entry into the villa, where the Oscar nominated actress was staying for Christmas with a female friend. Queen was reportedly upset over the incident, stating that the jewelry had sentimental value and that she was willing to offer whoever returns it a reward.

Good help is hard to find these days… You can’t even trust paid security guards anymore.

There have been numerous rumors about Queen Latifah and her sexuality, but recently the rumors have escalated into her potentially marrying her longtime girlfriend.

Media Take Out ((insert eye-roll here)) is reporting that the Queen recently popped the question to her girlfriend of 4 years. A formal public announcement is supposed to follow very soon, which means that home girl will finally be coming out of the closet. Good for her! If it’s true, of course lol…

Are you surprised about hearing the news? Will your feelings about her change at all if this turns out to be true? Tell us how you feel in the comments!!

Queen Latifah is currently on the roster with Gabrielle Union, Morris Chestnut, Faizon Love, Katt Williams, Terrence Howard, and more, for the new movie The Perfect Holiday, which hits theaters this Wednesday, December 12th!

Blige and John Legend, Jennifer Hudson, Will.I.Am, Busta Rhymes, LL Cool J and Eve! It looked fun, I’d say my favorite performance would have to be Fergie Ferg with “Live and Let Die” (Guns N’ Roses), she did an amazing job and did that song much justice. Ooh, I also love Usher’s performance of Gene Kelly’s “Singing in the Rain” – great show! Really they ALL did a fantastic job, I’m so proud of everyone! I’m mad I missed it y’all! Ha ha, expect more performances after the cut!
