Have I mentioned how much I love Queen Latifa, or Queefa, as I like to call her? Well I do. If I didn’t think the idea of having a gay diva was totally an abhorrent and disgusting social construct, she might be my gay diva. U-N-I-T-Y.

This got passed along to me today.

I’m totally confused why this is a full day event. I can’t really imagine what sort of probing questions B-E-T will be asking her that take three and a half hours to answer. Queen must have a long and complicated story about how she became a big, bodacious spokesperson for Covergirl. Do ya’ll think they’ll ask her about her lesbianism? With rumors of La Lo getting hitched to Samantha Ronson, I think she should really start talking about it.

Also, do any of you know what the deal is with The Secret Life of Bees? Is it like the National Geographic movie“The Secret Life of Cats” that I once borrowed from the New York Public Library? I heard that “The Secret Life of Bees” also has Dakota Fanning in it. Is that the movie where Dakota Fanning gets raped by a hound dog?

   I’m not sure she’ll address her own lesbianism, but there is an opening for introducing the subject: Ellen DeGeneres, who just married Portia De Rossi, is the new spokesperson for CoverGirl.
