The HBO film premieres on May 16.

Queen Latifah has officially come out of the closet…at least that’s what several celebrity gossip sites would have you believe. Thanks to an out of context quote from a recent interview with Sister 2 Sister magazine reports of Latifah kicking down the closest door have been sailing through cyberspace.

There is a moment in just about every workday when we come across something sexy, gratuitous and completely pointless that we wish we could post but don't under the auspices of there being nothing lesbian about it and often there being no redeeming value.

After making her way over to Ellen for some entertaining ass shaking/rubbing and dancing, Queen Latifah makes sure to have the audience join her in congratulating Ellen on her People's Choice Award nomination. Ellen asks Queen Latifah - oft rumored lesbian - her thoughts and feelings on all the recent bullying among American teens, and if she was bullied growing up. As the daughter of a cop, Queen Latifah was taught how to fight young, but also that violence is never the answer. She learned that the most important thing to do if you are the victim of bullying is to tell someone. 

In a recent interview with Upscale Magazine, Queen Latifah dodged questions about her sexual orientation. When Upscale asked her about rumors circulating that she is a lesbian, she replied, "I don't have to explain anything.  I don't have to confirm anything. Look, I need my time.  I need my life.”
