She may have gotten the boot to soon on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars," but that's not stopping Vivica A. Fox from high stepping it to her next television project. According to PEOPLE magazine the actress' dance card is full. Her next stint includes an appearance on TV's "Curb Your Enthusiasm." That's in addition to producing two independent movies - and working as a journalist.

"I have a magazine called Jolie, which is a fashion magazine which stands for 'live pretty,'" Fox recently told PEOPLE. "I'm editor at large, which basically means my responsibility is that I interview whoever is on the cover and I also recruit cover models."

Fox says the publication is geared toward minorities and already boasts an A-list group of contributors, including supermodel Tyra Banks, Kimora Lee Simmons, and LisaRaye Misick - the First Lady of Turks and Caicos. (Wonder if she offered her pal Star Jones Reynolds a job?)

"We are a magazine that is about encouraging, having a positive attitude and no matter what size you are, from a two all the way up to size 20, that you are fabulous and that you are loved and beautiful too."

As part of her new job as magazine editor it is Fox's job to interview celebrities, a task she says she is enjoying. Fox tells PEOPLE that Hollywood stars are happy to speak with her since she "very sensitive about certain taboo subjects." She says she is still able to get the scoop on a celebrity's life, only she does so in a way that doesn't offend anyone.

"There may be a better way to ask a question than to just come straight out and turn the celebrity off," Fox tells the magazine.

The actress says her journey into the world of journalism is a way to cultivate a career that has a lot of versatility to it.
