Check out Queen Latifah on her BMW bike in Hollywood on Wednesday. I guess she won’t ride it to Miami, where she’ll perform at a $500-a-plate charity dinner for Alonzo Mourning’s and Dwyane Wade’s annual Zo’s Summer Groove.
The event, taking place July 9-13, is one of the hottest in Miami every year. Chris Tucker, Doug E. Fresh, DL Hughley, Gabrielle Union and a slew of athletes including LeBron James and Chris Paul will be on the scene. And the gold diggers too, I imagine.

Good news from the Queen. Her majesty has met her personal fitness goals, according to PEOPLE. Latifah says she’s lost 5-10 percent of her body weight in just a couple of months, thanks to Jenny Craig and longtime friend/trainer Jeannette Jenkins.
“My jeans are looser, I feel more energetic,” she said of shedding the weight. “People dig it. They come up to me and say ‘I’m glad you’re talking about the health side of it.’ People get that message, which is important too.” Even though she’s slimmer, Latifah said her fans know she’s still one of them. “They see that I’m doing this for the health reasons but also say, ‘She’s still representing for the big girls. She hasn’t abandoned us!’ ” Latifah said. “This is me doing something for me, but if I am going to be a role model I hope people can catch on.”
