Happy Hump Day curvettes! Remember our favorite warrior princess fighting warlords then gets beheaded in the last episode? Well, she may be resurrected. Lucy Lawless says she would bring back Xena Warrior Princess and has a pretty descriptive imagination on she would do it.
“In my dreams it would be that Renee [O’Connor, who played Gabrielle] and I, and Ted [Raimi], who played Joxer, would come back and basically stick Xena’s head back on her and go on a quest,” said Lawless “At the end you introduce this new Warrior Princess, hand it over and let them run with it. So we could put the family back together, give the fans what they want, reinvigorate the brand and hand it on to a new generation.”
Hey, if this is true, we’d love to see her back on the screen. [SheWired]
Queen Latifah is coming to daytime television with her new talk show, The Queen Latifah Show. In the latest issue of The Hollywood Reporter, she says in an interview that she will not discuss her private life on the show, something that separates her from other talk shows.
“I don’t feel the need to discuss my private life on this show or any other show. There’s the part of my life that the public and I share together. And there’s the part that’s mine to keep for myself. And that’s mine. For me,” she says. [AfterEllen]
