Queen Latifah has a talk show. I know you probably haven't heard much about it because Kris Jenner and Betheeny Frankel and Katie Couric seem to take all the publicity for talk shows. Queen will be out there. She actually started yesterday with her first guest John Travolta. That is a pretty interesting first guest coming from Queen who many allege is gay but who prefers to not discuss her sex life. Hey, I think that's fine but yesterday she could have asked John Travolta about all those massages he had, but she didn't. Why? Because Queen Latifah will be the most kiss butt talk show host in the history of mankind. Do you think she would rather work as an actress or someone who has to go onto a studio five days a week for many hours each of those days? If she asks John the touch questions no one will appear on her show and no one will ever give her another acting job. Also on yesterday's show was Alicia Keys. huh.
On today's show Will Smith will appear. Huh. Interesting choice. Later this week? Jake Gyllenhaal. Is there some club she belongs to with these people and they all support each other to keep secrets safe?
Musical guest today will be Willow Smith. Expect Willow to be on frequently because Will Smith's company is producing Queen Latifah's show.
Lest you think that Queen, who had her own talk show a decade ago is going to touch on anything interesting, this is what she had to say about talking about herself or asking anything personal of her guests.
"I know what I'm comfortable with and what I'm not. It's what I feel is private to me and my family and my friends. It's what I share with the public. That's been something I decided a long time ago. It's not a new thing," she says. "Nobody is asking me. Only the media is asking that question. What makes sense for me to share makes sense. What I think is my private business will stay private."
Maybe her music leader MC Lyte will ask the tough questions. MC Lyte huh?
