Queen Latifah is opening her own fast food joint in Miami called FatBurger which she hopes will attract lots of diners on Sundays.
Queen Latifah is to open a fast food restaurant. The '
Hairspray' star will attend the opening of the FatBurger diner in Miami later this week and admits she is excited about the franchise extending across America.
She said: "That was part of my Los Angeles education. On Sundays in California everybody would come out in all these low-riders. FatBurger was, like, the centerpiece for it all."
Meanwhile, Latifah recently revealed she is keen to adopt an American child because she wants to "help a kid in the hood". The rapper-and-actress - real name Dana Owens - is determined to adopt in the US and has levelled a veiled criticism at stars like
Angelina Jolie and
Madonna who have adopted from abroad.
She told US chat show host Ellen Degeneres: "I want to help a kid in the hood. I want to adopt an American baby. There's just so many kids that could use a home."
Angelina Jolie has three adopted children from Cambodia, Thailand and Ethiopia with boyfriend
Brad Pitt. Madonna caused controversy last October when she and her director husband Guy Ritchie adopted one-year-old David Banda from Malawi. Other stars who have adopted from another country include
Meg Ryan and
Ewan McGregor.
