During Mo’Nique’s 2006 appearance on The View, the girls let her have it about not shaving her legs and Barbara Walters was a bit rude to her. So imagine how ecstatic Mo’Nique must have felt to be invited for a one-on-one with Barbara on her annual oscar show. [Sidebar: Payback is a B*TCH?
) ]
According to online sources, Barbara confided to friends that Mo’Nique was one of her most challenging subjects ever!
“If Barbara needed one more reason to quit the Oscar specials, Mo’Nique gave it to her.”
If you recall, Barbara referred to Mo’Nique’s newborn twins as “creatures” and ultimately took back her statement and called the babies adorable… but not before telling Mo’Nique, “Remember, you come and go. We stay!” in front of a somewhat surprised audience.

Fast forward to the present and Mo’Nique’s recent inauguration into Hollywood history…Mo never forget about that comment, but said she would do the interview as long as her demands were met.
“She had very specific hair and makeup demands,” claims another source. “She also insisted that Barbara fly down to Atlanta. Barbara usually goes to her subject’s home, whether it’s Tom Cruise or Julia Roberts.
Mo’Nique wouldn’t let Barbara into her house.”
Barbara saved Mo’Nique’s interview for last during her Oscar Special for obvious reasons. Watch the full interview below to see what transpired between the two and check out what Mo’Nique has to say about her hair legs and her “open” marriage: Continue Reading…

Actress/Comedienne MoNique was a vision in royal blue during last night’s Academy Awards show. The diva addressed why she carefully selected the color of her dress in a backstage interview after winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in “Precious”.
Mo’Nique explained:
The reason I have on this royal blue dress is because it’s the color that Hattie McDaniel wore in 1940 when she accepted her Oscar.
The reason that I have this Gardenia in my hair? Is because it’s the flower that Hattie McDaniel wore when she accepted her Oscar.
So for you Ms. Hattie McDaniel, I feel you all over me and it’s about time that the WORLD feels you all over them…
A reporter then asks Mo’Nique how she could possibly relate to her character in the movie, Mary Jones. Her response was classic Mo’Nique! Check out the video as well as additional photos below: Continue Reading…
