Microsoft's digital media launch event at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles today featured a surprise appearance by actor/rapper/singer Queen Latifah, on stage with Bill Gates. (She joins the likes of Jenny McCarthy, Jay Leno, and The Rock as one of the celebrities who have made cameos at Microsoft events.) Hip-Hop's Queen Latifah and Gates were an unusual pairing, to say the least. Consider this exchange, as Queen Latifah sat next to Gates on the couch.
"So what are you up to?" Gates asked, as smooth as Leno himself.
"Just hanging, you know," Queen Latifah answered before talking about her latest movie and music projects.
Later, Gates later told her that her new music sounded "super."
Then, after Queen Latifah had left the stage, there was this groan-eliciting segue by Gates to the next subject: "Well, Queen Latifah's not the only one we're working with. We're also working with the king of microprocessors, Intel."
Update: Here's the official transcript, complete with the Gates/Latifah banter.
