The visit to the samba school is just the latest stop on a fun-filled trip to Brazil for Latifah and Nichols.

The Queen showed no sign that the recent cancellation of her daytime talk show due to poor ratings had upset her at all.
It's not as if she is short of things to do: most recently she announced she will play the role of blues singer Bessie Smith in an upcoming HBO film.
Queen Latifah had first been offered the role 22 years ago, but turned it down because she felt like she did not have enough life experience.
