QUEEN LATIFAH NEW SINGING COMPETITION SHOW & VACATIONS IN BARBADOS

Queen has a lot to chill-lax about as she splashes big waves with a girlfriend, with benefits. Queen being  a Grammy award winning singer, actress, cover girl, and now you can add Voice Competition show to her resume.  Queen Latifah is joining forces with The CW to find the next great vocal talent.  Latifah was once a spokeswoman for Jenny Craig, but from the looks of things, Queen may have fallen off of the weight loss wagon.

So this is American Idol 101, X-factor, The Voice e.t.c. ...BIG YAWN Z z z!  Sources report the CW network has given the green light to Latifah and Dave Broome’s new singing competition “The Star Next Door.” Pop singer Gloria Estefan and country star John Rich are set to star as mentors. 

Additional mentors will also be added in the coming weeks. “The Star Next Door” will go across the country to find talented, undiscovered voices. However, rather than bringing the hopefuls to Hollywood, “The Star Next Door” will have the mentors travel to the contestant’s home town to help them prepare for performances on live television. “The Star Next Door” is scheduled to debut sometime this summer.
