Set in South Carolina in 1964, the film is the moving tale of Lily Owens a 14 year-old girl who is haunted by the memory of her late mother. To escape her lonely life and troubled relationship with her father, Lily flees with Rosaleen, her caregiver and only friend, to a South Carolina town that holds the secret to her mother's past. Taken in by the intelligent and independent Boatwright sisters, Lily finds solace in their mesmerizing world of beekeeping, honey and the Black Madonna.
The film is written and directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood (Love & Basketball, Disappearing Acts) and stars Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson and Oscar nominees Angela Basset, Queen Latifah, Sophie Okonedo and SAG award nominee Dakota Fanning. Alicia Keys is said to also give a stirring performance.
The film is set to hit theaters October 17th.

Queen Latifah has signed up with Florida-based Parlux Fragrances to create her own signature scent, to be ready for spritzing and sniffing in fall 2009.
"For me, beauty really does start on the inside," Latifah said in a statement. "It's like a state of mind—a state of love, if you will.
"So, I see fragrance as just a natural expression of this state of love: Scent expresses a woman's confidence and sensuality. It's how she embraces her body, her mind and her strength."

So after yesterday's revelations, I'm gonna kick this off this morning with an easy one..
“‘I don’t give a f*ck!’ a curvaceous woman yelled. ‘She better bring her ass over here!’ Everyone turned around to see who was making such a fuss. It was award-winning female rapper/ actress, ‘Sheena.’…This wouldn’t be the first or last time I’d see or hear about this female rapper/ actress attacking her partners…When she made an appearance on Keenen [Ivory Wayans’] show, I couldn’t imagine her being as violent as I had seen her that night because she was the nicest and sweetest person. She had a striking presence, but it was really her walk that made her appear as if she was pimping.”
Meet SHEENA...

The funny thing is a few years back one of my LA friends, who happens to be a lesbian threw a birthday party. and I found myself, along with about 25 other straight folks, at a very trendy gay club in West Hollywood called HERE.
Anywhoo after sippin on martinis for an hour, who should I notice stashed away in the corner,holding court like a true pimp on high? The Queen herself. She just sat there, watching some biddy dance for her.
THEN, a few months later, were' at the Man On Fire preem in Santa Monica and once again, while everyone is preoccupied with the new "it" couple, Marc & J.Lo, who do we notice has got the SAME chick with her at the afterparty? But this time there was trouble in paradise because Queens chick apparently got a little too big for her britches and tried to introduce herself to (my man) Denzel. My girl saw her getting into a cab about twenty minutes later.
