Queen Latifah

American Fugdol

I managed to polish off last night's two-hour Idol finale in about 20 minutes, so chock-a-block was it of cringe-worthy filler. In fact, the only performance I stopped on for longer than ten seconds was the one involving Queen; what can I say, I was practically raised on Queen music. And I think the timing of them dumping Paul Rodgers as a temporary front-man gels perfectly with Adam Lambert losing, so they can just plug him in there and go back on tour. Right? I mean, RIGHT? I've been saying all along he belongs in the We Will Rock You cast but being in ACTUAL Queen would be even better.

Seriously: The dude sang with Kiss and had to wear shoulder cages.

And he pulled them off with gusto. I may not be the biggest fan of Lambert's actual voice, but he certainly knows how to perform music I am interested to WATCH, if not solely HEAR. Adam stood next to Gene Simmons, who was wearing spiked silver armor, and held his own in studded half-globes that look like the frame around which someone's costume on The Tudors is about to be built. Were Freddie Mercury here, he'd be applauding and then asking Adam if he wants to borrow any of his old jumpsuits.

Speaking of jumpsuits:

JADA PINKETT SMITH: Hey, La. Can I talk to you about something?

QUEEN LATIFAH: Sure! Is it how pleased you were to see me on Saturday Night Live this past week?

JPS: No....

QL: Is it how cute my hair looks like this?

JPS: Not exactly....

QL: Is it that you like my dress? I like yours, too! We look great! Let's go harass Will until he does his imitation of the Carlton dance for us!

JPS: No, it's about MY hair.

QL: What about...oh. The bangs?

JPS: Yeah.

QL: Hmm.

JPS: I know.

QL: Let's put it to a poll:

Queen Lafugtah

For about an hour now I've been gazing at this photo of Queen Latifah, wishing she were at a Pirates of the Caribbean event so that I could crack, "No, honey, it's 'Pirates,' not 'Pilates.'"

Alas, she's just at the premiere of Hancock, which doesn't lend itself to hilarious and easy workout puns. You'd think she could've shuffled around her schedule so that she didn't have to hit the red carpet on laundry day; maybe the fact that she's dressed to flee doesn't bode well for the anticipated quality of the movie. Indeed, you might say she's expecting it to be a real downward dog. ZING! Thank you! I'll be here all week! Try the chicken and tip your bartender.
I wish I had a better photo of this dress on Queen Latifah. Heather and I were lucky enough to go to the BET Awards last night (more on that later, but the short version is that it was awesome), and she looked AMAZING in person. Maybe a mini-collage will help get that across:

This color is totally awesome on her and the cut is super flattering. In fairness, I must admit that I just sort of dig her in general, and she usually looks fab, but this time she turned the fab up to FAB (you know, the all important Awards Show Caps Lock Effect).
