QUEEN LATIFAH - FED UP LATIFAH THREATENS LEGAL ACTION

Actress/singer QUEEN LATIFAH is taking aim at the tabloid media, insisting it has become her New Year's resolution to "get legal" with anyone who prints lies about her. The Chicago star admits she has always been treated well by members of the tabloid media but she's growing weary of some of the stories they write about her. And she's ready to get tough with them. She tells WENN, "They are actually starting to p**s me off. I haven't been brutalised like some people... but you feel taken advantage of. "This year, if somebody prints something about me, I'm ready to take it to their ass because it's just not fair. "I'm tired of hearing from my family members, `Did you say this?' When somebody calls my family, that's what concerns me. I have little brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews who are not so media savvy as me. "They are not so thick skinned with this business, so these reports bother them. That's when I really want to go for somebody's throat, legally with lawyers and all. And I will."
