LATIFAH OPENING FATBURGER IN MIAMI: Plus, new album due Sept. 25.
*Queen Latifah will drop her new album, "Trav'lin' Light," on Sept. 25 with material made famous by the likes of Peggy Lee, Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughn, Mary Wells and Roberta Flack.
Guests on the set include Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Joe Sample, George Duke and Christian McBride. Also, Stevie Wonder plays his harmonica on the track, "Georgia Rose." Latifah will hit the road for a U.S. tour in the fall to support the project.
Meanwhile, the actress announced last week that she will open a FatBurger fast-food restaurant in Miami by the end of 2007.
The artist is a big fan of the spot's turkey burger, and said it has been a dream of hers to open a franchise of the popular Los Angeles-based restaurant in Florida.
"That was part of my L.A. education - on Sundays in California...
everybody would come out... in all these low-riders (cars)... 'FatBurger'
was, like, the centrepiece for it all," she told David Letterman recently.
