Mo'Nique Talks to Her Gay Fans

She's a versatile actor, author, mother, and arguably the queen of comedy with a sense of self-worth that most size '0' models and size '0' personalities would dream of possessing. Mo'Nique inspires through laughter, but in this exclusive interview she gets as serious as ever about her career, her body, her gay fans and the cake that she's determined to eat no matter what people say. Here's a snapshot:

Ramon: Girls everywhere are embracing their bodies due in large part to your campaign against skinny. Since then, fashion designers like Michael Kors have spoken against rail thin models; Roseanne Barr now says she's comfortable with her weight; and plus-size casting has been at an all-time high. Have you started a plus-size revolution?

Mo'Nique: I don't think I have, because there were so many women before me that were big and voluptuous. They were very sexy and accepted. I'm not sure when things took a turn. At some point, these invisible people at the Hollywood table said, 'We no longer like that. We want women to look like little boys...

Ramon: Do you have a message for all of your gay fans?

Mo'Nique: Live your life in complete happiness every day. Has anyone ever told you can't have your cake and eat it too? Like that's a bad thing. You're [ex] right I want my cake and I want to eat it... It's mine! I want to lick the plate, because it's mine! So I would say to people. It's your cake... so eat every crumb.
