Queen Latifah has signed on with Sony Pictures Television to host a new syndicated daytime talk show expected to debut in the fall of 2013. The series, which will be co-produced by the rapper-actress, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, is being put off so the show won't get lost in the clutter of new daytime programs aiming to fill the void left by the Oprah Winfrey Show.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
