“I was told indefinite hiatus.” READ MORE

Mo’Nique Keeps Her Oscar With The Canned Goods…
You know how one person’s gold is another’s garbage and vice versa?
Well Academy Award winning actress/comedienne/talk show host Mo’Nique doesn’t place a huge value that solid gold statue she received for her role in Precious.
In fact, in the April 2011 issue of Ebony magazine, Mo-Apostrophe-Nique (© Freshalina) reveals to writer Toure that she keeps her Oscar in her pantry between the fruit loops & canned spam. (I kidd… but not really!)
Mo’nique explains in detail where she keeps the golden statue below: Continue Reading…

Mo’Nique’s Legs Are Still a Hairy Situation… [PHOTOS]
Comedienne/Actress/BET Host Mo’Nique and her hubby/business partner Sidney Hicks hit the “Black” carpet of the 2010 BET Hip Hop Awards in Atlanta last weekend.
Mo’Nique looked amazing onstage and off, but the Oscar winning diva, who was clowned maliciously for her hairy legs during the Golden Globes Awards, is still sticking to her guns about that dayum leg hair.
If you recall, Mo’Nique has discussed her “hairy situation” (and also clarified her “open marriage”) on more than one occasion.
She talked about it on The View and most recently during her post-Oscar interview with Barbara Walters, where she said that her husband loves it so she ain’t changing a thing.

I dunno…Hubby looks a lil worried too Mo.
It’s a shame she won’t even consider shaving…a trim? or at least think about rocking a longer dress. But I guess if he likes it… we love it. *shrug*
