Queen Latifah Gets FAB For PARADE + Christina Milian Gets HOT For LATINA

Queen Latifah is looking fab before her stint as People's Choice Awards host for the umpteenth year in a row.  She's rocking the pages of PARADE magazine.  Plus, Christina Milian lets it all hang out about her failed marriage to The Dream and how the cheating scandal and becoming a mom helped her.

A few quotables from her article:

Where Queen hopes to be in 10 years: “On cruise control, with a couple of kids under my belt,” Queen Latifah shared. “It’s in the Lord’s hands.”

On growing up in Jersey: “There’s something about growing up in New Jersey that prepares you for whatever you might encounter around the world. We’re not afraid to go places. I met Mike ‘The Situation’ [from Jersey Shore] because we were both on Jay Leno. He lives maybe 15 minutes from me. He was like, ‘If you ever get a flat tire, call me and I’ll hook you up.’ I love Jersey.”


On giving advice to future royal Kate Middleton: “Make sure you have a sanctuary, because everybody in the world is going to be in your business. He happened to be born a prince; you happened to go to college and meet him. You’re two kids who fell in love. I just hope you have a happy life. And don’t take anything personally.

Lookin' good Queen.

And Christina Milian is looking pretty in pink on the cover of the new issue of LATINA magazine.

And some behind the scenes footage where she's joined by baby Violet.  Awwww.
Here's some quotes where Chris discusses getting cheated on, trying to change herself to make her marriage work, and what she's learned through all this drama:

On her failed marriage: “No matter what, you can’t change who you are. I know that now. I tried to be someone I wasn’t because I wanted my marriage to work. But ultimately, if it’s not working, it’s not working.”
On the cheating scandal: “I didn’t know anything. But looking back, my gut was telling me something was off. But I thought I could fix it.”
On lessons learned: “I learned a lot about myself this year. I learned what I can handle. I learned how much I can take. I learned who I am and what I will accept for myself and my daughter.”
On becoming a mom: “Being a new mother definitely makes me feel so much sexier than ever before. There’s a certain responsibility that I carry being a mom that makes me feel very confident and so blessed. Being a mom is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”
On what’s next: “I feel brand new. I’ve been to hell and back, but I survived. I’m stronger for it and now I’m ready for the next phase of my life.”

Hot.
