*After scoring an Oscar nomination in 2003 for the musical "Chicago," Queen Latifah said she ran straight to Hollywood legend Sidney Poitier to get advice on how to handle the Hollywood rush that comes along with it.

      "When I got nominated and all this stuff was happening I needed to talk to somebody, so I reached out to Sidney Poitier," she said, according to Contact Music. "I took him to lunch at the Four Seasons in L.A. and we just talked for hours.

       "I needed somebody to tell me how this works and what to do because I didn't want to get lost in it all and get caught up too much in it either. I wanted to ride the line the way it's supposed to be.       

       "If you reach out to them they will help you along. He told me to enjoy those moments but don't get too caught up with people telling you, `You're great.' As a result I've always made sure that I've had people around me who'll tell me the real truth. That gives me a way of keeping my feet on the ground and not getting too big-headed."
