Over the past few weeks I have received comments, emails, and a few phone calls regarding Mo’Nique’s F.A.T. Chance.  I have written several posts as well as made a page dedicated to Mo’Nique, but it seems like I need to add some more information to clarify a few things.

Question: Can you pass my information on to Mo’Nique?

Answer: No.  I have no personal or professional relationship with her.

Question: Are you affiliated with Mo’Nique’s F.A.T. Chance?

Answer: No.  I have blogged about the show that is where my connection ends.

Question: Are you looking for models?

Answer: No.  Beyond the photo project I am not looking for models in anyway.

Question: When can I try out for the show?

Answer: There has been no official word regarding auditions.

Question: Where can I buy Mo’Nique clothes at?

Answer: There is no official line of clothes by Mo’Nique though she is selling some jeans connected to the show.

Question: Where can I get a copy of the previous seasons?

Answer: Seasons one and two of F.A.T. Chance are available on DVD.

I hope that this answers the many questions that you ladies have had as far as my connection to Mo’Nique and the show.

I could be wrong but if Mo’Nique is going to be hosting a radio show starting in July I think that means that we will NOT be seeing another cycle of Mo’Nique’s F.A.T. Chance.

Syndication One has added comedian and actress Mo’Nique to its roster of radio personalities, which already includes Rickey Smiley, Yolanda Adams, Bishop TD Jakes, Donnie McClurkin and CoCo Brother.

UPDATE:  If you are interested in Mo’Nique’s F.A.T. Chance there has been no word as to if there will be a show this year.  For the latest information click here.

“I love radio and being able to talk about issues that really concern my community,” says Mo’Nique. “For me it’s all about the listeners, the community is my boss. With my program, you’ll have more fun, more real talk, and more love.”

The actress will host a daily show from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. EST. So far, the midday program has been added at KDAY in Los Angeles with a start date of July 23rd.

“Mo’Nique is one of the funniest, most dynamic female entertainers working in radio today,” says Syndication One’s President of Programming Gary Bernstein. “She has a clear vision of what she wants to do and how she wants to do it. Radio is lucky to have such an incredible personality at its disposal.”

Syndication One is a joint venture between Radio One, Inc. and REACH Media, Inc.

UPDATE:  If you are interested in the show there has been no word as to if there will be a show this year.  For the latest information click here.

This weeks question is one that has come to both Full Figure Plus and my plus size modeling blog. “When are the auditions for 2008 monique’s fat chance?” The quick and short answer is that there has not been an announcement that there will even be another season of the show.

The first three installments of Mo’Nique’s F.A.T. Chance aired in July with auditions being held in February or March. If the Oxygen channel which was recently purchased by NBC Universal decides to renew the show then I suspect that the auditions will be held at the same time as they have in the past.

For those that don’t know what the show is about it is a size acceptance beauty pageant for plus size ladies to show that size does not matter when it comes to beauty. The show is helping to change the perception of how size is viewed in this country. Last years show took the size acceptance movement to Paris to give the models an opportunity to compete for the title of Miss Phat on the international stage.

Stay tuned to this blog by subscribing to the newsfeed or signing up to get email updates. As soon as I find out anything about the show I will be sure to pass the information on.

Due to technical difficulties I was not able to watch the show tonight and unless I solved the fight I am in with Comcast Cable then I won’t bed watching it at all.  Those that did get a chance to watch the show speak up on it and let me know what is going on and your thoughts on the new format.

I have a surprise for you guys related to the show.  I thought that I would have the finishing touches on it today but I don’t.  When I do I will be sure to let you know.  So come on give me your reaction to the show I am dying to know.
