Keke Palmer

Keke is the Queen of Everything, okay! The vivacious actress was truly a beacon of light In 2022, further cementing her well-deserved place in Hollywood. First, she reminded us how brightly she shines on the big screen with her outstanding performance in Jordan Peele's box office juggernaut, Nope, one of the very few films of 2022 to gross more than $100 million during these pandemic times. What we love most about Keke is her energy, her charm and her undeniable work ethic--and it appears that the legendary Whoopi Goldberg couldn't agree more. Earlier this year during an interview with Charlamagne Tha God, Goldberg said she would love to see Keke Palmer, Lizzo and Nicki Minaj star in Sister Act 3. To which we say: bring it on! Keke continued to dominate the year by joining season 3 of Legendary as a judge, and gracing the Time 100 list. In true modern diva fashion, she surprised us all when she announced the launch of her own digital network, KeyTV. And when the internet demanded that she portray Whitney Houston in a biopic because they “act exactly the same,” the former child star was entirely on board. Her reply: “Let’s get the movie made y’all. I’m ready to ACK, we abt to weep in the theaters."
