Queen Latifah wants to be a mother! On The View on July 11, she spoke about her hopes to adopt a child sometime soon.

“I just always wanted to bring a child home,” Queen Latifah said.

The Ice Age star remained coy at first, until Barbara Walters pryed for more information.

“So are you really seriously planning on adopting?” Barbara asked.

Queen Latifah finally gave in and admitted, ”I’m totally serious.”

She then added, “So if you got a kid that you don’t . . . Just give me a year — let me set up camp and send me the kid! But no, no, totally.”

Although she followed up with joke, it sounds like the Queen already has plans to add a new prince or princess!

Queen Latifah‘s latest show must have been quite liberating for her. At the 2012 Long Beach Pride event in California last weekend, the 42-year-old award-winning singer, rapper and actress officially came out as gay.

“Y’all my peeps (people),” she said, referring to the LGBT community. “I love you!”

The Queen performed to a crowd of about 1,000 people for more than an hour, telling them to “keep your support system tight” and also warning about keeping safe from STDs.

“Thank you to all my favorite peep guests who came out to support me. I appreciate it. I love you so much. Hope you had a beautiful time,” she said. “Y’all be safe whatever y’all get into tonight. Boys –- strap it up. Ladies –- strap it up.”

We applaud the Queen with her decision to come out. Are you surprised by her announcement?

We’re guessing Rob Kardashian, David Arquette, Elisabetta Canalis and the rest of the season 13 cast of Dancing with the Stars are all competing because they think it will help their images and their careers. However, an insider tells HollywoodLife.com Queen Latifah, 41, felt the exact opposite way about the popular ABC reality show.

“She thought it would be a career downturn,” an insider tells us about why the 41-year-old comedian didn’t end up signing on. “She didn’t believe she needs it, even though she is a fan of the show.”

Perhaps that’s true. As a performer, the Queen has won an astonishing two Screen Actors Guild Awards, a Golden Globe AND a Grammy Award, in addition to being nominated for an Emmy and an Academy Award, to name a few. She’s done just fine without having to strut her stuff on a prime time competition show.

That said, Queen Latifah is such a fun entertainer, we would have loved to have watched spin her way on the dance floor and if we were betting folks, probably would have put our money on her to win the Mirror Ball Trophy!

Season 13 of Dancing with the Stars is rapidly approaching and we cannot wait to see which celebs ABC casts to twirl, dip and leap across the stage! A show insider confirms with HollywoodLife.com Queen Latifah, Snooki and Tiffani Theissen have all been recruited as cast members, as TMZ reported today. However, the show’s producers haven’t landed one of their top picks yet…

According to our set insider, Hulk Hogan has been top on ABC’s list for some time, but he keeps saying, “NO!” Apparently, they’ve had discussions to ask his daughter, Brooke Hogan, instead, but they hope the 58-year-old pro wrestler eventually decides to do the show.

Not everyone in the cast is set in stone yet (except Rob Kardashian and Christina Milian), but time’s ticking down: ABC will announce the official cast during an episode of Bachelor Pad Aug. 29. Season 13 kicks off Sept 19, which is only a month away!
