anyone else a fan of Mo'Nique?

I think she is very pretty and a very good actress - that gal has FLAIR!

1. Love her!!!

She is so wicked to the audience in "Queens of Comedy" it's like a cat and mouse game, that whole sermon she preaches againts anal sex (which borders on homophobic at first but it ends up being a recommendation for it, lol) where she goes on about how much it hurts and then says "but I like it now", lol, and talks about her husband and her adventures in that area.

Sorry if this is more information than you wanted in a a reply, lol

The scene in that movie where she is in the restaurant is hysterical too, so she's great at improv as well. I love where she takes the ticket and lays it on the table and tells the customers when they make up their mind about what to order just to write it down.

And yes, she's adorable, too. When I watch the Parker's I always wonder how they get through the scenes. She shows a lot of restraint on that show, which I bet is hard for her.

2. I haven't seen her on Queens

I love her chasing the Professor though; she totally cracks me up! I saw her interviewed recently about a new show - some kind of beauty contest for plus-size gals....she'd be the right gal to do that, she looks SOOOOOO stylish. :)

3. you have GOT to watch it!!

Every female comedian on that video is gut-busting hysterical. Comedy Central used to run it late at night without it being edited (there's a ton of profanity). I have seen it at least ten times. Laura Hayes, Adele Givens, and Sommore are in it as well, and there are a lot of their stops along the way to Memphis filmed, like in a beauty shop, and a 5 and dime store. You can really see how big Mo'nique's personality is in this, if you watch it you will see what I mean about how in the world they ever get through the scenes in The Parkers, she's much funnier UNscripted than scripted. There are some homophobic comments by Sommore and a couple by Mo'nique in their parts, but on the other hand they are all so incredibly funny and have a great message about female self-acceptance otherwise. It's my favorite comedy video of all time, except maybe for Margaret Cho and Lea Delaria. It's worth it just to watch Monique's routine about Bill Clinton; she says he should have said, about Monica Lewinsky, "I don't know that b*tch, I didn't f*ck that b*tch...etc" and then says that he acquiesced and confessed because "the white rose up in him", lol.

4. LOL!

that certainly sounds like my cup of tea....I will look for it for sure! :hi:

5. The pageant was on Saturday night

It's been on a couple times since then, and I guess it'll be on some more. It was really good -- all about getting fat or as she puts it "fabulous and thick" girls to accept and make the most of themselves and live life to the fullest. For instance, she had the women riding horses because she said that's an activity many obese women don't do because they're told they can't. And some of the women's stories were very inspiring too.

6. I've never heard of her, but judging from the way she spells her name,

and the way she is dressed, and that she's holding a mic and thus I assume she must be a singer, I'm sure I would not like her. Probably would hate her, in fact. Or, at least, her music.
