Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - Though the new critically-lauded film "Precious" touches on subjects like abuse and rape, the film's cast is hitting star Monique's new show for a late night party. They'll appear on tonight's edition of "The Mo'Nique Show" on BET, airing at 11pm ET/PT.

Comedian and actress, and now host, of BET's #1 late night show, Mo'Nique plays an emotionally and physically abusive mother in a could-be Oscar nominated turn. Director Lee Daniels and stars Gabourey Sidibe, who plays Precious, Paula Patton, and Sapphire, writer of the book "Push" which the film "Precious" is based on, will all appear on the show to talk about the new movie for a "Precious" party.

The cast does have a reason to celebrate. Not only is "Precious" one of the best reviewed films of the year, it's also a box-office hit in its ultra-limited release. The film opens wider this weekend.

Also appearing this week on "The Mo'Nique Show" this week are Beverly Johnson on Wednesday, November 18th, Danny Glover and Jermaine Dupri on Thursday, November 19th, and the cast of "The Parkers" and Yolanda Adams on Friday, November 20th.
