And since we are talking about Mo'Nique! You know she stars in the new movie, Precious. She is a hometown hero, but I gotta keep it real. It's been rumored that Mo'Nique has been acting a bit diva-ish, already! First, Mo'Nique didn't show up at the Toronto International Film Festival to promote "Precious." Rumors ran amok that she snubbed the debut because Lionsgate wouldn't pay a $100,000 appearance fee plus fly her staff first class. Then her publicist promised Mo'Nique would attend the premiere of "Precious" at the New York Film Festival this past weekend, but again she was a no-show. Roger Friedman of Hollywood Reporter's Showbiz 411 reports that her publicist just quit "after trying to explain why Mo’Nique wasn’t coming."

A source tells the New York Daily News, "Mo'Nique said she signed on to do this film for a small amount of money. She said she didn't care about 'no Oscar' — all that mattered was 'those Benjamins!' Because Oprah and Tyler Perry are backing the film, she feels as though there should be a budget to pay for her promotional duties."

Mo'Nique, your a Queen of Comedy, not of acting. If this is the arena you want to be in, you gotta play the rules. At the same time, its 2-sides to every story. I want to hear what she has to say about it.
