So before you read on. Know that this is a rant. I don’t apologize for the rant in any way shape or form. My views are mine and I’m not looking for a debate. So if you don’t want to read something you might not agree with. Don’t read on.
Queen Latifah has always been one of the very few Actresses I have looked up to. Not because of the way she can act. Not for her voice and not for her modeling. But for the fact that she has always been a proud Big Beautiful Woman! Today I’m watching TV and this really stupid commercial comes on. I continue to watch it because it has her on it. Guess what. It’s her saying how she has decided to take others advice and become healthy. How is she going to do that? She is now a Jenny Craig spokes model. Ya fucking who. The one person who has always stood and said you don’t have to be thin to be in. That a big woman is hot and sexy too is now and advocate for diets. WTF?
Does she really have some health issue? And even if she does, is it because she is fat? Or is she just one more fucking person who buys into a world were you need to be thin?
Missy Elliot tried thin. And I don’t know if anyone has noticed but guess what she is fat again. So why keep trying to be something your not. Why try to be thin and hot when you are built to be something else. Queen Latifah has been the size she is or close to it for years in the show biz. So why now all the sudden does she have to do Jenny Craig. Eat less be thin. This is in? Look around people. Fat people are sexy too and if you don’t think that your nuts. You don’t fucking have to be thin to be healthy. Fat does not mean your going to die young. Fat does not mean you are sick. I know plenty of people who are much thinner than I am who have some real health issues. You don’t have to be fat to be unhealthy. And just because you’re fat doesn’t mean you’re unhealthy.
SCREAMS UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“I think the reason I am here is to inspire African-American women who are rappers, full-figured women to know that they can do it too.”

Kirstie Alley and Valerie Bertinelli have another pal joining them in the Jenny Craig universe: Queen Latifah. The Oscar-nominated singer and actress, 37, has signed up to be the latest celebrity spokesperson for the weight-loss chain, PEOPLE confirms exclusively. "We officially confirm that Queen Latifah will join the Jenny Craig program in January," Scott Parker, Jenny Craig's vice president of marketing, tells PEOPLE. "We are thrilled to have Queen Latifah support our mission of improving health by taking her first step toward achieving a more healthful lifestyle." Parker adds: "Queen Latifah joins forces with Jenny Craig to communicate the importance of how small lifestyle changes, in the areas of diet and exercise, can have positive effects on overall health." The Hairspray star, who has consistently celebrated her plus-size figure over the years (including a recent PEOPLE cover story), will have a "very different campaign, focused on a healthier lifestyle, not on getting onto a specific dress size," says Parker. Of her figure, Latifah told PEOPLE in October, "I would say I'm voluptuous."
