When asked by co-host Barbara Walters if she has considered adoption, Queen Latifah, who is single, said, “I’m actually kind of working on that.”

“I’m totally serious,” the entertainer continued after a bit of pressing from Walters.  “I think I saw one of those specials…you know those movies of the week.  And it was like…I just always wanted to bring a child home.”

Still, the 42-year-old actress is busy: she provides the voice of Ellie in Ice Age: Continental Drift, due in theaters Friday, produces VH1’s Single Ladies and will produce and star in Lifetime’s remake of the movie Steel Magnolias.
