Queen Latifah Warns Andy Cohen To Mind His Neck

July 21, 2017 Blind Gossip

[Blind Gossip] Last night on Watch What Happens Live, Jada Pinkett Smith and Queen Latifah discussed their upcoming movie, Girl’s Trip, with host Andy Cohen. Andy asked them some questions on behalf of the audience.

ANDY: [Latifah], Lauren B. wants to know: “Please tell me when you’re going to finally going to make your Broadway debut. I need to see you in Chicago!” Who even knows if that would be the role you would go into?

LATIFAH: Yeah. No, I’ll probably do something else. There was a big production that was offered to me and it became very successful and gained some Tony Awards and everything, but I just couldn’t work it into my [schedule]…

ANDY: Can you say what [production] it was?

LATIFAH: No.

ANDY: Was it recent?

LATIFAH: Mind your neck! I would love to do Broadway, but it would just have to be the right project and I just have to have the time. I’m very serious about Broadway. I’m not going to play around with that. I’ve got to come correct.

BG Notes: Mind your neck = None of your business/Mind your own damn business. Come correct = Do something right/Do something respectfully.

    I’m in the minority, so this must be about me, and not about her, but I really don’t like her. I probably wouldn’t see anything that she was headlining… I very very rarely get to Broadway, so for that once in a few years time when I’d go see a show, I’d choose someone who I was really a diehard fan of.

    The Color Purple or Hamilton. Inappropriate for Celie, but just right for Shug Avery. Much better casting choice than Jennifer Hudson. Possibly Angelica from Hamilton.

    Hamilton

    That was “vocal” range

    That’s hard: her talent is so narrow. Eliminate:
    – classics like Ibsen or Tennessee Williams or August Wilson — her line readings would be laughable
    – Chicago or Bandstand — she cant dance
    – Andrew Lloyd Weber musicals. Wicked. Sondheim — she’s got no revocable range
    – Miss Saigon and the Book of Mormon for obvious reasons

    They used to say a face made for radio. She’s a talent made for talk TV

      Okay…well she was actually in Chicago and was terrific!

    Hamilton is a musical I can see her justifiably turning down, despite her being a rapper, because the female parts wouldn’t match her level of celebrity. However, The Color Purple would have been a great opportunity for her to make her Broadway debut, since could sing and be the lead, but wouldn’t have to be the character who sings the best.

    Hamilton?

    She was so good in Chicago as the warden, I can see her doing it on Broadway. She probably turned down The Color Purple.

    Hamilton, she would have been great, but it would have been unnecessary celebrity casting

    I love to watch her in anything. She’s very talented.

    Color Purple. Probably as Celie.

    Hamilton.

    Showstoppers

    She didn’t participate because they booked Trump’s Inauguration.

    Broadway show she turned down: The Little Mermaid? I could see her as Ursula

      Wasn’t she Ursula for the Annie Leibovitz Disney shoot?
