Oh, tears spring to our eyes at the mere THOUGHT of Robert Harling's heart-wrenching love-filled drama that is Steel Magnolias!

And while we adore the new cast that make up the forthcoming Lifetime remake of the 1989 film, we must ask WHY remake such a classic, sentimental production?

But, originality is a dying art and we understand that twerks on original works can be just as powerful, if not more so, than their initial inspirations!

Ch-ch-check out the trailer (above) for Tony nominee Kenny Leon's version of Steel Magnolias starring Queen Latifah, Jill Scott, Phylicia Rashad, Alfre Woodard, and Adepero Oduye.

Obvi we will be glued to out televisions with an armament of kleenex on hand, whenever Lifetime decides to air this epic tale!

Hooray!! Something fresh for once!!

Queen Latifah is bringing The CW a very different kind of music competition show.

Currently titled as The Star Next Door, this series will throw the mentors into the talent's hometown rather than bringing the talent to Hollywood.

In the hometowns, the mentors will learn exactly what their subject needs to work on and how to succeed where they are.

Gloria Estefan and John Rich are set to be two of the mentors. Two more are being tapped this week!!
