Queen Latifah, who we all assumed was a big ole sister but who never made a public statement to confirm, was outed recently by the paparazzi. The photos of Latifah and her girlfriend of four years, personal trainer Jeanette Jenkins, seem to leave little doubt about the nature of the relationship. I'm sure everyone would love to snuggle up to that big huggy bear Queen Latifah, but this seems undeniably romantic. It's nice to see them happy and enjoying each other's company. Handsome couple.
These pics were taken while the two were vacationing with Alicia Keyes and her new husband in tres exclusive Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat on the French coast. I see London, I see France, I see Queen Latifah's board shorts. Latifah reportedly also bought Jenkins a new Range Rover. You know, just a little something. They already own a $1.4 million house together in the Hollywood Hills. Nice floors, but somebody needs to get out there with the hedge trimmer.
Gawker.com quipped that the house has "
tons of closet space." I guess they won't be needing that any more!
While maneuvering a giant plastic carriage through the vast rows of [a store I now boycott], I stumbled upon an aisle of queer women. The Covergirl makeup section displays larger-than-life photos of Ellen Degeneres, Queen Latifah, and Drew Barrymore. I'm wondering, is this an intentional marketing strategy to turn lesbians into Covergirl consumers? Or did Proctor & Gamble not realize the obvious? I mean, there's Ellen. No explanation necessary. There's Queen Latifah, who most of us figured was not straight long before she was recently outed by the paparazzi. Then there's Drew Barrymore, who is quite open about her bisexuality. So, ladies, in support of the Covergirl queers, we might consider expanding our cosmetics purchases beyond mint lip balm.
