Queen Latifah Says Confidence is Key to Beauty
Queen Latifah says her secret to feeling beautiful is having confidence:
I feel very fortunate that I've become more confident...Confidence is like a light that emanates from you and makes your skin glow."
She loves that she has been told that she inspires others to be more confident too:
My favorite thing is when a father comes up to tell me that I've helped his 12-year-old daughter be a little less insecure. Those are the times when I feel most beautiful because I know I've helped others."
Here are some of her top products that help inspire that feeling too!:
Tocca Crema Da Sogno in Stella ($45 at Amazon):
I love discovering new scents, like this citrusy one."
Kiehls Creme D'Elegance Repairateur ($29.00 at Amazon):
Makeup artists always apply this on photo shoots to make my skin look glowy."
Pantene Pro-V Curls Spray Gel ($4.13 at Amazon):
I spray this on when I want to wear my hair natural."

Queen Latifah Addresses Rumors, Opens Up About Her Past
Queen Latifah sat down with Essence magazine recently and addressed a number of issues, including rumors about her sexual orientation and a traumatic past. But that doesn't mean she's going to tell you everything.
'My personal life is personal and it’s really
not for everyone else,' she told the mag. 'With what I do for a living,
I have to share a lot of myself with a lot of people, but I’m not going
to share everything.' "
Regarding her sexual orientation, Queen Latifah says:
'They want to make up stories and make me gay
all the time and it’s like, 'Keep running with it,' she said. 'I’ve
definitely been annoyed by it, but I learned a long time ago that it
was pointless to say anything. Everybody else can do the reading; I’ll
do the living.' "
But there is one thing she is willing to open up about: she was sexually abused as a child.

The BET Honors Second Annual Black Entertainment Awards
The BET Honors Second Annual Black Entertainment Awards were held in Washington DC over the weekend. Fan favorites like Ne Yo, Queen Latifah, Angela Bassett, Gabrielle Union, Monica, Star Jones, and my personal favorite Mary J Blige were in attendance.
While growing up, did you have an artist that you totally related to? Like everything they wrote make sense to you? That was Mary for me. I knew her first few albums front and back!
And for all Ne Yo fans out there, I have some personal information about him. My old high school friend who I recently just reconnected with works for Def Jam. She's the girl that travels with the artists and makes sure they keep on their schedules and are "happy" at all times. Ne Yo is one of her responsibilities and she says he is the nicest person. Totally unaffected, doesn't abuse staff, truly grateful and a great person to be around... even after a 15 hour flight. I thought that was nice to hear considering I LOVE him. Just wanted to pass the word around.

Queen Latifah Victim Of Theft
Queen Latifah is currently vacationing in Tobago (which is in the Caribbean). She was enjoying the comforts of a luxury villa in the $1,000-a-night Stone Haven Resort, but her vacation has been dampened with the theft of $10,000 worth of "sentimental" jewelry.
'Several searches are being carried out and the police are trying to
have the jewelry returned to Queen Latifah. Investigators said the
larceny seems to be an inside job and efforts are being made round the
clock to make a breakthrough,' acting police commissioner James
Philbert told the [media]."
I can see luxury resorts being targeted by thieves, but you rarely hear about workers actually committing the crimes (although it makes sense, sadly).
Queen Latifah reportedly may offer a reward for the return of her jewelry before she leaves the resort next Wednesday. I have a feeling she'll have to offer a reward after that report.
Hotels always offer safes but I NEVER use them. Stories like these make me think twice about that decision. Have any of you been the victim of theft while on vacation?

Queen Latifah Launches Fragrance Line
Following in the footsteps of Lindsay Lohan, Gwen Stefani, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, Sarah Jessica Parker and Britney Spears (to name a few) Queen Latifah has announced she is launching her own perfume line.
"For me, beauty really does start on the inside. 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."
The scent is due to launch later next year. Here is the Queen enjoying some beach fun with her friend over the weekend. So jealous!

David And Victoria Beckham Run Into Queen Latifah
It just wouldn't be a typical day on INO without a Beckham post. You'd think I was British! Only in Hollywood would David and Victoria be shopping and run into the beautiful Queen Latifah. I love how all celebrities "know" one another. Or at least they feel they can approach each other without it being strange.
