Eye To Eye With Katie Couric: Queen Latifah (CBS News)

[rodthepimp]

I just love Queen LaBeefa! She's great!

[mookienvi]

I dont think thats Katie Couric lol

[d50lbcurls]

The Queen of the Dikes! You could tell a long time ago that she was into woman. I don't hate, don't get me wrong but why the big cover up? It's your life queen.

[lcowles]

@d50lbcurls Because she has a HUGE African-American fan base that wouldn't take her sexuality well. It's not a matter of shame but a matter of making an income and being able to put food on your table. It's sad but that's the way it is.

[MrJuly1990ish]

@d50lbcurls

Yeah, but you're hating by calling her "The Queen of the Dikes" which the word "dike" can be just as much of a slur at lesbians. Also, you can't tell if someone is gay or straight by looking at them.  If gay people were to turn green for a day, you'll be shocked as hell at how many gay individuals you probably come into contact with on a daily basis. Contrary to popular belief, the majority of gay people really don't broadcast their sexuality.

[waitandbleedtodeath]

[MrMandingus]

QUEEN MY ASS

THAT CLAM DIGGIN KENTUCKY FRIED EATING BITCH IS A WANNABE KING

[ungirasol72]

@MrMandingus .....your point of view is ignorant. You are criticizing Quen Latifah but your watching her videos and interviews. Pls. Ignorant.

[iMstrKrft]

@MrMandingus She's more successful than you'll ever be. You mad?

[blkpopeye]

I dig her!!! Hail to the Queen

[TheBbtop]

THIS is not katie couric....seriously misleading

[RKGOLF]

Queen you are beautiful. Inside and out. I love you!!!

[migcampoverde18]

i really hope she sales billions of records n be number one

[xdianarossx]

Queen Latifah is such a good actress and singer, true talent.

[sweetbutdaring]

so SHE'S Katie Couric, I thought it was a dark haired 30ish person.

[bellecheriem1482]

no she's not katie couric..katie's younger, blonde and more attractive. This lady must be one of her commentators

[fuglygrrl]

Queen Latifah is the full package -- authentic, intelligent, and talented in extraordinary ways. While I thoroughly enjoy the range of her entertaining, I miss her rapping. If you haven't seen her rap with Alicia Keys and Kathleen Battle, check out that video. Her tribute to "Superwomen", including President Obama's grandmother is beautiful.

[THESCOOTERLADY]

I LOVE QUEEN LATIFAH,BORN DANA ELAINE OWENS,MARCH 18,1970.

SHE'S A CLASSY LADY AND A GOOD SINGER.

Ms.MARIE.K.LALLY,KNOWN AS THE SCOOTER LADY FROM SACRED HEART ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH,PINELLAS PARK ,FLORIDA33781,TAMPABAY AREA.

[CPT2625]

Why is she racist, what did she say to make you say that?

[flyboymd82]

A few years ago she made this comment "We black people need to stop killing each other, we need to start killing white people and not each other"....

Does that qualify for being a racists?

[whiskeyshit]

She was not the one you made that comment.

[nutsbutdum]

I dare you to show me a video or even the link to that quote!

[edinbyrd09]

is she gay or not?!?!?!

[surfboy]

She has really good questions. Not the typical bland generic questions in these interviews.

[ahr2107]

Where is Katie?

[JackyHapy]

Is this Jacquim her business "partner" or boyfriend. I hear she has a long-term boyfriend.

[Softbird27]

Shakim is Latifah's business partner and longtime friend. He is married with children and not even close to being Latifah's lover.

[nic819]

we need ladies like that in the movement

[navigator012007]

She's not gay, she's just ghetto as all get out.

[Youngbee30]

Please Come Back To Hip Hop! You are Hip Hop and The Queen!

[thetoughtruth]

Katie looks good

[brittiany212008]

Katie Couric got old and tired since the election lol

[coreywford]

LMFAO that is not Katie Couric!!!

[LexReJn]

i love Queen Latifah, but is that really Katie Couric?

[HillMatill]

It's some..."Rita Braver"?

[hadeev]

I don't know who this woman is, but she's NOT Katie Couric.

[jhonnyboy2050]

Fucking potato's face

[jhonnyboy2050]

ugly peace of shit

[bootsybrown]

you got that right, that is one ugly bitch

[LivJulie]

Queen Latifah is so beautiful! I love her.

[blkpopeye]

THERE IS A GOD..SHE IS FINE!!!

[lilpinkyluv]

I heard and read That Katie is a straight up drunk and she's also smoking crack...

[gitsrus]

omg this interviewer, lol.

[LBloggie]

I love queen latifah in the mammy roles i think she has that motherly nature about her and taxi wasnt mammy perse and it didnt do all that well so stick to the formula of what works she definetly needs to do more movies that arent comedies cause she is great with drama but its usually surrounded by a comical flare and due to her size it is gonna be hard for her to belive her as a femme fatale or whatever. she knows what she doin

[SoeLychE101]

yo whassup, tha names Lane. I understand where everyone here is coming from! I mean its one thing to be yourself but then its another to do your job which in this case is acting and yet, still try your hardest to be yourself! 'Buffooonery' is a very ignorant comment. I think we can all tell that Queen Latifah is a type of person who can never do something that will be out of 'being herself'. I mean i aint trynna make an excuse for her not being able to comform but being yourself is number one!

[dirtyrayskey08]

negative critics feel 2 realize that she's an entrepreneur.she presented alot of things that yall didnt mention.what about da song UNITY uplifting women or things shes has introduced 2 da society that spike lee, mc lyte, or many of the other people were scared 2 introduce.and 4 the person who said she stays in things that are comfortable... dats bullshit. she varies in amazing ways.. rapper,singer, living single,set it off, hair spray,nodel, CEO. wat else does she need 2 do move a mountain!!!!

[cocodapitbull]

she lacks creativity and so do many other artists, including movie studios. they lack the creativity to come up with something fresh and clean, so they take from artists that are dead or have no power so that they can't defend themselves. the music was good, spider man was good, when my parents were kids! now they want to sell the same thing to our children. recycled bullshit.

[vanstretton]

yeah so not Katie Couric. I feel like this skinny old white lady, former crack head, partially deaf sounding interviewer did the best she could but, why?

[ianclytle]

What a gorgeous woman!!!

[TheSamanthaA]

that's not katie couric

haha

The queen rocks!!

[agent5821]

Katie Couric got OLD!

[morenitabrown]

sweetuth99,I hear you. She did make good music, but you had better rappers like:Nikki D,and MC lyte. My problem with her are the types of roles she plays. Spike lee said it best when he called her work on the movie 'Bringing Down The House','buffoonery'. Her roles are mostly 'Mammy Based'. Hollywood

has her as their go-to 'Home Girl', that's how she presents herself to me. It's a shame, she's better than that.

[chosenone300a]

What's wrong with taking roles that you feel comfortable with? She writes her own pages and has accomplished alot more than the so called black thesibans who deem themselves artist of there craft. You bring up Spike Lee who wrote...She's Gotta Have It yeah! that was a real Oscar contender...lol give me a break. Queen doesn't speak for all black women how silly of you do even expect her to up hold such a heavy burden. All black people are not alike........newsflash morenitabrown

[morenitabrown]

Familiarize your self with actresses of today such as Sanaa Latham, Rosario D. etc. Believe me no one is holding her to such a'heavy burden'.I am aware of thedifferences in all cultures as well as my own.I hope to see her in more challenging roles not

something 'comfortable'.I understand your a big fan,but comparing her work to Spike L. -c'mon seriously.Check out the 25th hour by him something more recent than'She's gotta have it'.Latifah Is lucky to have a fan like yourself.

[crack3rrrrrrr]

i hate interviewers

when they just sit there so fake

asking you these dumb questions

that they could already ask.

anyway Queen Latifah is the bomb

:D

[Ltron9]

We more like QL and less of Lil Kim and Foxy Brown!

[cushe83]

Good lord do you not have liek a job, or some form of employemt. Why are you always on here running your mouth about queen latifah obsessing over how un important she is. Go sit your no man or children having ass down.

Do you not have any responsibilities offline. You are too old to be on here as frequently as you are, that shit is not cool your not 17 your 30....somthing

[cushe83]

Hmm 4 long ass comments in the last 4 minutes. If I didnt know any better I would say you you..didnt have anything else better to do or a social life. I wish I could say I was suprised but I can hear your biological clock from here. Are you bitter shes done more then you'll ever acomplish in your sad life?

Calm down kizzy. Theres no need for the shuck and jive. Do you even know queen latifah becuase I bleieve you think you do. This seems to be that important to you.

[cushe83]

You are one angry jigg, you need to like relax lol cause you look stupid. You sure did write a lot for, queen latifah . Is it that serious condeleeza lice. I question how much you actually know about the impact of queen on hip hop seeing as how your going on platinum sales and chart placement which again i cant see how any one other then queen or her record label would need to hold on to that info,. Its only an import to canada.

[cushe83]

There you go again with that black racist house nigger rhetoric . I must have really pulled a nerve with you because you are heeeated and i'm laughing at you old ass. Aren't you too old to be carrying on like this ont he internet lol seriously I bet you type each comment like and feel like "ha I told him" You really need a man or a hug or something for your dusty ass.

[cushe83]

Jigga what ? Jiggaboo please, Um my entire point was that it was never as serious to me as it obviously is to you, what would I be crying about exactley ? that you think queen latifah isn't a good rapper. Do you honestly think before you type or do you just respond becuase you want the last word becuase you sound really stupid.

[cushe83]

Hmm you sure do seem to have a lot of black steretypes helmed in your comments Your one of those house negrices that sleep with white men to advance their placment in society but wind up just being the brunt of white jokes at the workplace you tap dancing soft shoe dancing jigg,

I've seen your kind before. Your sad and will do anythign for acceptance, I can tell, you hve a lot of conviction when you shout the stereotypes, you might want to seek help.

[cushe83]

Oh I can tell your one of those house niggers huh. What the hell would you know about hip hop any way being from canada, do they even have any black people in onterio or where ever your nutra sweet black ass is resonding fom. Im willing to be your one of those blacks whom sorounds themselves with white people whom dont think much of you but you tolerate it becuase you need to feel excepted by them huh brant gumbal 100 dollars says you dont have a hundred dollars

[cushe83]

Yeah...good comeback...Yeah change the subject that you know far to useless trivial information on a celebrity whom supposedly has no importance to hip hop.

[cushe83]

Again her career stats are useless information I mean do you work for her? becuase I dotn think you do so I cant see how you would need to intercept that information to relay it on the itnernet unless you had way to much time on your hands . I mean don't you have a man or .....signifigant other........

[cushe83]

What didn't you comprehend in the TWO parahgraphs. Heres the gist, you have way to much invested in this to have all that useless information on hand and you look stupid.

Why would any one need to know her album placement unit sales and critiques unless you are her ? shit why do you know that lol. What are you auditioning for single black desperate female , again you made your self look stupid

And speaking of library isn't it closed by now? how are you still using thhe internet.

[cushe83]

Like foreal foreal, you look really stupid in here . You are HEATED becuase queen is famous, for what reason i dont know but you made yoru self look dumb as hell protestign so hard. You seem to want to match wits on who knows the most pointless trivial information confirming what we already knew. Your dusty ass don't have a man to be on here hating so hard on somebody you dont know lol

[cushe83]

Who are you kidding your not laughing your mad as hell and i think its funny. Do you realize how stupid you look right now. You are protesting so hard in here almost as if you were getting paid and your dusty masingil ass is the only one whom seems to think queen latifah was never a good artist, its quite pathetic to be protesting this hard on the subject. Im just gonna get you even madder so I can keep laughing at your old ass in here. And by the way what si your claim to fame again.

[cushe83]

Becuase the shit was not facts its OPINION and i've already come to the conclusion that you a bitter ass bird whom has no real logic behind your internet ramblings other then just being a bitter ass bitch, whats to refute.

Your whole argument is shes nothing special despite the fact I might add your angry black ass is in here going over her career stats while she don't know you exist which says enough. Your a bitter ass middle aged bird.

[cushe83]

talented 3rd base.....Yeah i guess you were like some former 80's rap protegee' that didn't make it and now you decided to hate on queen becuase she did something and you didn't thats the only resonable explanation can come up with to explain your mildley amusing yet very embarassing ignorance on on the situation. You sound like you have a chip on your shoulder becuase of her success. now take your middle aged ass to sleep and dwell on it.

[cushe83]

"Pro female gimick" Oh so your like some bitter angry lesbian rapper who tried to cash in on the black power ladies first movment and she honned in on it first. You just come acrossn as real bitter. And you rotesting to high heaven how she actually wasn't that important to the rap movment like a fool doesn't change the fact. Or maybe you've just been under a rock.

[cushe83]

you sound like an alien right now or somebody whom was born when queen latifah was at her peak and there fore you consider jay-z to encompass what hip hop is.

Queen latifah has ALWAYS been treated as one of the pioneer rap artist of the early 90's her mc lyte monie love .She has always been treated as such. You really sound uneducated on hip hop.

[Skyjuice70]

You must have some serious complexes. Everyone has the right to their own opinion but you just wanted to take it to the next level with the name calling. I can play that game too but wont. I'll just leave you in that class by yourself.

[Skyjuice70]

drinking too much of that haterade is no good for you.

[NkrumahTure]

Somebody hand that interviewer a throat lozenge.

[AUSSOMMUS]

very good

love queen latifah

[orangeskydice]

[eman1246563432]

[thursdaysrecords]

Making the right career choices turned this multi-talent into a formidable competitor in today's world of entertainment. Queen Latifah is here to stay!

[HappyCaramel]

I vote for a better interviewer.

[okeedokeesmokey]

..so cool how when your old like me...lol.. you can look back to when she first came out and ya can see how her talent has grown and she's so classy. She's awesome...didn't know she actually could sing until I saw her in Chicago. Hope to see more from her.

[JohnBach]

Queen Latifah is a good actress. I think she takes her work seriously and works to refine her art. I totally respect her.

[Andre3000lover]

This interviewer is fucking retarded. "You're known as Ms.Hip-Hop". Bitch you need to stop getting your info from the net, she did way more than hip-hop.

[kurtmate195]

fat ugly ... and overrated

[vettenlimo]

Maybe i`m the only one that notices,but doesnt the interviewer look like Jody Foster with a touch of Farah F. on crack?...

[JohnBach]

More like a slow morph from a zombie from Resident Evil into Jodie Foster or Farah. :)

[gigibranch]

love you queen!! mini performance clip of me.

[fruityblack]

This interviewer is a moron. that goofey smile! lol
