Why You Should All Hail Queen Latifah

TV Series Finale

For those who don't know who Queen Latifah is, this is Queen Latifah:

She is an actress, singer, rapper and all-around amazing human being who has starred numerous films such as "Hairspray," "Set It Off," "Bringing Down The House," and my personal favorite, "Taxi." She also has been on TV including, most notably: "Living Single," the TV movie "Bessie," "Empire" and Star; creator Lee Daniels' new show, "Star" features an all-star cast including Benjamin Bratt, Naomi Campbell and, of course, Queen Latifah.

Even though I haven't seen the show yet, I am so excited and happy to see Queen Latifah on screen again. She has done couple of films like "Miracles From Heaven," "Bessie," and "Ice Age 4." Queen Latifah has been one of my childhood idols along with Jackie Chan. When I saw her receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award on the Kids' Choice Awards as a kid, she made me want to smile at life because she taught me to see the bright side of things in life. So whenever I hear about Queen's new project, whether it is in music or movie, I can't wait to see her shine. Here are 10 reasons why you should bow to the Queen:

1. Her way of loving herself

2. Her music

Especially in musicals!

Or bio-films like "Bessie," which won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Television Movie and more!

3. Her movies

4. Her humor

5. Her U.N.I.T.Y

6. Her way of taking care of her mom

7. Her smile

8. Her activism

9. Her support for female rappers

10. And her being a Queen

Do yourself a favor and check out Queen Latifah and cast in "Star" on FOX!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
