Queen Latifah was photographed above as she ‘chucks the deuce’ make-up free outside of The Trump Hotel Soho Hotel in New York (August 25, 2013).

The Grammy Award winning, Academy Award nominee, and overall respected TV talent brand has a new talk show on the horizon and is looking to a few of her Hollywood besties, to pull in big ratings.

Other “A” listers expected to grace Latifah’s couch included John Travolta, Sharon Stone, Jake Gyllenhaal, and even pal Jamie Foxx are planned in hopes to boost ratings for the new daytime talk show, which airs September 16th.
