As if having a baby with a still-married man wasn’t enough, now there’s word that Fantasia’s lovah, Antwaun Cook, is pushing up on his estranged wife. A family source says Antwaun regrets stepping outside his marriage and wants to get back with his wife, Paula. The two were spotted in a Charlotte, NC club over the weekend getting very familiar with “Antwaun shoving his tongue down her throat and she kept having to push him away without trying to make a scene. He told Paula that she belongs to him because she’s still his wife!” I would say poor Tasia, but you get what you get. Raise your son and keep it moving Tasia Mae.

Ja Rule is making more news inside of prison than he has in the last 10 years. He was given a 7-day work detail for breaking the rules. Ja made an unauthorized phone call last week on his birthday. He called into a Sirius XM radio show which is a no-no, according to prison rules. His rep says the prison wasn’t happy about a previous interview he did with the NY Daily News either, so they’ve refused all interviews. Ja’s serving time for tax evasion and gun possession. He’s expected to be released in February 2013.

In thank God black people are getting roles that aren’t on reality TV news: Brew Beauty Freema Agyeman will join the pilot for the CW’s Sex and the City prequel, The Carrie Diaries. Agyeman will play “Larissa,” a cutting edge editor who works at Interview magazine in the ’80s and was a major influence on a young “Carrie Bradshaw.”

And, Queen Latifah has more jobs than dem Jamaicans on “In Living Color.” The CW has green lit a new singing competition, “The Star Next Door,” which will feature Queen Latifah, Gloria Estefan and country music’s John Rich (of “Big & Rich” and The Celebrity Apprentice) as judges/mentors to the singers. Latifah’s company will produce the show which was developed by the creator of The Biggest Loser.

This summer, Queen Latifah plans to debut a new clothing and handbag line on the Home Shopping Network. But, whatever you do, don’t call her clothes “plus size.” She says:

“It’s just a word to bury at this point. It’s for all sizes. The truth is, we all like to wear the same clothes. We all want to wear beautiful, fly clothes no matter what size you are. For me it was important to match with a company that understood and respected that ideal. I felt the marketplace didn’t respect us in the way it should. I am not going to step out with a clothing line that didn’t respect a fuller-figured woman or a curvaceous woman and really all women.”

Her new line will feature denim and other apparel for women sizes 2 and up, handbags and eventually, clip-on hair extensions. I hope those extensions include some Cleo cornrows. Her apparel line will be priced under $100 and the bags will range from $170 – $300. Latifah will make her first appearance on HSN on August 27th. (Lord, please don’t let it look like anything Deréon…)

I can’t even make a Kang Latifah joke here. I lubs huh! Give it to ‘em Queen…

Alert! Alert! There’s a whole-lotta fine coming up in this next post!

Check out the trailer for Common and King Queen Latifah’s new flick, Just Wright. Latifah stars as a physical therapist who rehabs a pro-baller and judging from the trailer… you can tell she gets to hump Common at some point in this movie.

Good lawd, look at the fineness up in this flick! But, something about this movie makes me want to sing “Khadijah, I need ya”…

And, I see you Pam Grier.

Just Wright hits theaters in May.  Will you go see it?
