Queen Latifah believes every woman is a “queen” and on Monday, January 29th, she is holding an open-casting call in NYC to find a new face to appear in an ad for the CoverGirl Queen Collection.
All women of color — from Latina to African American — ages 18-48 are invited to strut their stuff in front of a panel of judges, including Queen Latifah herself. Contestants will be asked to share their story as to how they have achieved both inner and outer beauty –whether it was through a recent accomplishment, community service, overcoming an obstacle or standing up for something they were passionate about.
WHAT:
Queen Latifah open-casting call to find a real woman to appear in the next CoverGirl Queen Collection advertisement
WHEN:
January 29, 2007 from 11AM to 4PM (line forms at 10AM)
WHERE:
BB King Blues Club & Grill
237 West 42nd Street (between 7th and 8th Avenues)
So all of CL’s covergirls better show up and represent. Good luck!
Anyone who wants to be discovered as a model would jump at this opportunity…
this is a great opportunity i think i might go
WHAT A GREAT OPPORTUNITY???
queen latifah is really hot in that photo. from rapping U.N.I.T.Y. and starring on Living SIngle to CoverGirl ads and pizza hut commercials, she is doing her thing.
A girl she can “cover” perhaps!
This seems better than ANTM. I like this premence. It just seems more… trustworthy with the Queen.
NOT FUNNY#5,N/W VERY CUTE PIC OF HER.
Queen Latifah is my idol, she went from rapping, to tv, to movies and she even got a Grammy and a Oscar nomination. I wish I was in NY so I could audition.
DAMN..# 5 TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUTTA MY MOUTH…
THIS IS A FRONT SINCE HER AND HER GIRLFRIEND BROKE UP. LOL!
Can’t hate on the Queen she been here and forever will be.Props
I love me some Latifah! If I was in NY, I would go. Good luck to the rest of my CL fam going!
yawwwwnnnn… not another stupid modeling contest….
Believe me, she ain’t gonna be doing all that so she can holla at some stank ass broad. Latifah could buy a bitch, if she wanted to. I applaud Latifah for going from nothing to accomplishing so many things in life. All you slick mouth black people on here criticizing her ain’t go t a pot to piss in. Y’all need a swift ass kickin. She trying to bring other sisters in the game and y’all sitting there talking greasy about her.
nice pic
#5 Congrats on your wedding. Now back to the issue at hand, THAT’S MEAN, but I must admit, I did laugh!! LaLa is my girl though.
I just hope they weed out the bafoons so this doesn’t turn into something crazy. I could just see some clowns showing up for exposure like they do for AI tryouts…knowing they’re not right for it, but just wanting attention.
ALL YA’LL WIT ALL THESE FEELINGS CAN KICK ROCKS.. YEAH SHE BEEN IN THE BIZ A WHILE AND HAS ACCOMPLISHED MANY-A THINGS BUT SHE IS SUBJECT TO “COMMENTS” ON A GOSSIP BLOG LIKE N E ONE ELSE.. HER SH** STANK JUST LIKE EVERY1 ELSES.. AND FYI I GOT 3 POTS TO PISS IN..
This seems like a great oppurtunity for young women. If it was held in Cali I would definitely have went but oh well.
NOW Y’ALL STOP FRONTIN’… YALL KNOW THAT BODY ON THAT PIC IS PHOTOSHOPPED TO DEATH!! THAT IS NOT HER BODY, I’LL NEVER BELIEVE IT. ANYWAY ON THE SUBJECT GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR ASPIRING MODELS.
Its amazing how the queen can transform from cover girly diva by day…. to total butch by night.
How does she do it??
She is sooo beautiful. Doing big things! Go Queen
She really stepped out of the box…people were expecting certain stereotypical things from her, but she is proving to be sooo much more than that. I applaud her
@15
We had to postpone it because Wednesday evening they were saying it was a 100 percent chance of snow and they were expectin 5-12 inches. We postposned everything until winter was over with and just my luck all it did was rain Saturday! Now the wedding is set for April 13
That’s funny@19
This is a beautiful pic of Latifah.
@ 19 The same way the DL mofos do it.
1Fyne@LMAO oh that’s funny as hell! I was thinking the same thing. Do ya thing, Latifah!
In the words of Martin on WZUP radio… aaaawwwwwww DAMN! See this is why I wish I lived in the big apple instead of country ass Florida. Thangs just be poppin off up there. It seems legit, so good luck to all the entrants. No homo here, but I gotta admit, when Dana is femmed up, she looks good. When she’s not, she’s well… scary.
I’M NOT in ny.. i’m not american
the only country in the world whith that kind of oportunitys is usa… i which i was american!!!
this is hardly blurred..
but she is very pretty.

#19 STOP IT!
hmm…i’m interesed at the concept..i wonder who will win.
It’s obvious they’re looking for your everyday natural beauty, so all you tall, thin, pretty girls need not apply.
@16-PinkLIBRADIVA. well girl thank god you do have 3 buckets to piss in. Every canine should be living like you. Do yourself a favor hun, keep your black ass at home and don’t go there wasting Latifah’s time. That is all.
#26 – UR killing me with the MV avatar! LOL
You know I have gots ta download that song now just to do a little George Jefferson dance and sing…”Blame it on da Raaaaain”.
#27 – I “which” you were an American too baby so you could enroll in some ESL classes!
#29 – Shit, Latifah could buy me and I’m married like a mug and strictly d!c^ly…but I need some shoppin’ money LOL!!
#32 – I think I just blew my tonsils out laughing!
oh wow! if i have the day off i will be there
I need a little more explanation what do they mean by share their story. what story? I’m lost.
I need a little more explanation what do they mean by share their story. what story? I’m lost. please someone clarify
… basically they probably want a phony ass commentary of how one balances real life and the pressure to look a certain way, and how one manages to stay “beautiful” on the inside and out blah blah blah.
I hate these types of things. They’re sickening!
Queen Latifha looks Latifah looks real good now, real good.
This pic is old as hell. Look in your Ebony/Essence/Jet magazines.
great opportunity.
queen L, looks oh so nice, in the pic.
“All women of color — from Latina to African American”
Um, that’s not a very broad spectrum.
The Queen always does it big. She stacks that paper on sly
I wish they would have an audition in L.A………………
I wish they would have an audition in L.A………………
QUESTION??? IS SHE LOOKING FOR A ‘COVERGIRL’ TO BE HER GIRLFRIEND OR IS HE DOING REAL TRY-OUTS FOR A MAKE-UP CONTRACT.
Oh..ok,that’s cool.
#44: i was thinking the same thing. dayum!!!
33- i’mn sorry my english is not perfect but i know speek 4 language…
E OLHA.. PUTA QUE TE PARIU!
Hey Tisha, I covered that in comment number 5
Interesting…I wonder how this is going to turn out? Hopefully, not too bubblegum…
I smell a rat. How can someone so very butch be a spokesperson for covergirl in the first damn place? I have seen her in person and she is actually pretty but aint a damn thing girly about her.
THAT IS RACIAL, WHY NOT ASIAN OR WHITE GIRLS? NOT COOL
Yall tripping! What Queen does in her persoanl life does not transcend into her professional life or CONTRACT! Dang! Can she live? She is pretty!
We all know she played that role in “SET IT OFF” too DAMN well! Now that, was an OSCAR performance!
Anyway, Queen has done so many things and opened doors for hip hop artists to crossover into mainstream entertainment to the point that I cannot even hate on her!
Keep makin ‘em talk Tifah! LOL!
SERIOUSLY, IM THINKING OF GOING WHO ELSE??
Isn’t Rihanna the face of Covrgirl…
HOTMOMMA PLEASE RELEASE THE LOCK JAW FROM LATIFAH’S NUTSACK!
I don’t know what it is about her…I love her movies, her OLD music..but since finding out about her sexuality has turned me off. She was always a lil butchy, but damn man!! But to each its own…
