It’s true Single Ladies fans, this mansion -- hell, Atlanta -- isn’t big enough for both Paula Patton (Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol) and rapper, actress and one of the VH1 series’ executive producers Queen Latifah (cha ching!) when they return on next Monday’s episode, “Fast Love.”

And Celebuzz has exclusive first look photos at the standoff between the two divas.

What has the two women giving each other the evil eye?

Fans already know Malcolm (DB Woodside) hasn't been good for Keisha (LisaRaye McCoy). So now that he wants to be back in her life, we just started waiting for the other ball to drop. His first goodwill offering? He wants Keisha to sell his father’s mansion. But, both Sharon Love (Queen Latifah) and Laila Twilight (Patton) have their eye on the prize during the auction. That’s a catfight waiting to happen.

VH1 was banking on Single Ladies as its first foray into scripted series and the investment has paid off. With more than 3.1 million viewers a week for the drama series, the network has greenlit its second scripted offering.

Bounce, which depicts the travails of members of a Los Angeles-based basketball dance team, stars Dean Cain, Kimberly Elise and Charlotte Ross. The series begins production next year.

In the meantime, you can catch Single Ladies every Monday at 9PM on VH1.

Take a look at our exclusive photos from next week’s episode above. Watch the women in action below.
