first

First of all, they left me off!

All I can think about is that lap dance Beyonce gave my man Terrence. uh-uh-uh

Ooooh! Isaiah!! Glad to see his sexy is getting recognized.

WOw! No Halle? hee hee hee

I don’t understand People Magazine.
These are the same people that were out and about year after year, why is it now they’re beautiful? Were they not beautiful last year.
In other words the better your career the more beautiful you become.

I am sorry. But are they serious???

I mean the people are good lucking but they could have done better but I guess the first three “tokens” that came into their mind!! [end rant]

Okay, now I saw the entire list and it makes more sense. The pole must have been done quick and dirty, because I don’t see a single dark woman out of sixteen picks. People magazine won’t be getting any of my quarters! Beyonce takes whatever she can get!

I’m not feeling the Isaiah Washington pick!

Big Whitewash!

@ Confucious…

“Tokens?” You took the words right outta my mouth…

Beyonce sure does use alot of makeup to pull of that “natural beauty” look

That doggone Isiah! He is the reason I tune into Grey’s Anatomy FAITHFULLY! I wanna just sop him up like some hot gravy with a buttermilk bisuit! Damn he is HOT! (Drinking ice water!) LOL! Should we be surprised that there were only 3? Halle is played! There aren’t that many “crossover” actors/actresses out there that “THEY” would consider beautiful.

Ok. Let’s do the math. 50 minus 16 equals 34. There are probably some more black folks and hopefully other “ethinic” people on the list.

OMG ISAIAH WASHINGTON IS MA BABY DADDY!!!! WOOOOOO I LUV ME SUM HIM…he’s one of the reason i watch grey’s anatomy….

by the way has anyone noticed how many black people are playing doctors now.

IM SPEECHLESS WOOO GO BLACK PEOPLE!!!!

lets c 50 or beyonce play that

Glad to see NAVEEN ANDREWS on this list. I some what agree, the verdict is still out on Eva Longoria and Nicole Kidman.

Isaiah is handsome but People only pick folks from popular shows/movies, sells a lot of music or just up in the headlines during that year. Unless you’re mainstream I guess you’re not beautiful?? We should take this with a grain of salt.

I loved isaiah, I don’t think he is whitewashed… have you seen love jones… he has a quiet sexy.

everyone that does beyonce’s makeup says ” she has natural beauty and doesn’t require too much make-up… ”
okay now what is that spray pain then.

ok i just saw the list and here is what beyonce has to say

[To play the lead in the film adaptation of the Broadway smash Dreamgirls, Knowles, 24, subjected herself to bushy eyebrows and frumpy suits. The result: Total transformation ("Very not cute," she told reporters) – and a taste of what life might have been like if she hadn't been born beautiful. "To be honest," she said, "I feel people would have acknowledged my talent a lot more."]

i dunno maybe its me but that sounds a lil vain

i mean i knew beyonce was gonna be on it, but do u guys think she wouldve mad the list if she was a darkskin sista?

omg! nicole kidman has always been a very scary looking woman to me what does the rest of the world see…
eww witch!

WOO

^^^^^^^a lot vain

@ CHUICHI

You might be on to something about Beyonce, because I don’t think a dark-skinned Terrence Howard would have made it on the list.

Big Post-it!

@ashleigh

Okay, I felt a little uneasy when I read that insert too!

THAT LIST IS ALL ABOUT TOKEN BLACKS.

EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT THEYRE ARE ALOT OF BEAUTIFUL BLACK PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN ON THE LIST. THEY JUST THREW BEYONCE AND TERENCE IN THERE BECAUSE THE ARE LIGHT SKINNED.
YOU MEAN TO TELL ME OUT OF 50 PEOPLE THIS IS ALL THEY COULD COME UP WITH.

ISAIH IS ON THE LIST BECAUSE OF HIS TV SHOW AND
BECAUSE HE IS HANDSOME. HE IS THE ONLY TRUE BLACK PERSON THEY THOUGHT ABOUT. WHITE PEOPLE ARE SOOOO SCARED OF BLACK BEAUTY. HATEFUL AND JEALOUS.

BEYONCE IS TIRED. YEAH WE KNOW SHE IS PRETTY BUT DAMN.
WHAT ABOUT GABREILLE UNION OR NAOMI CAMPBELL OR EVA PIGFORD, KERRY WASHINGTON, JOY BRYANT, ANYBODY BUT DAMN BEYONCE OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

IM SURPRISED THE DIDN’T PUT HALLE, OR MARIAH, OR SHEMAR, OR EVEN NICOLE RITCHIE. WHITE PEOPLE LOVE THOSE WHITE OOOPPS I MEAN BLACK PEOPLE.

I always wondered where Isaiah was. I remembered him in Love Jones, and I was like, that is one handsome dude. I had only seen him in a few things until Grey’s Anatomy. I love how they have that interracial thang going on. You never see it on television, especially not on non-cable stations. That is one of the worst pictures of Beyonce i’ve ever seen. What is wrong with the editors, or whoever is in charge? Terrence Howard is fine, but, I would’ve liked a picture from the front.

TERENCE HOWARD IS NOT FINE!!!!!!!!

JUST LIGHT SKINNED, WHY DOES EVERYBODY THINK JUST CAUSE YPUR LIGHT SKINNED YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

I’ll co-sign on what Ginger said, we shouldnt be surprised. Its People magazine, they are strictly commercially driven. Any person of any ethinicity would only make it on there because they are seen alot by white hollywood (This includes Terrance Howard within the past four years). Even if it was Essence magazines it would be the same either way. Ill jus give props to those of ethnicity that did break through, whether or not we already knew or not. Ill even give the afgani guy from lost props.

Even if it was essence magazine it would be reversed^^^^^

somehow forgot that

Hmmm.. No Christina Millian? haha….

BEYONCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats what im talking about, what is this her 4th year in a row making the list?

Go Terrance, do the damn thing… I dont think its just his skintone, its a whole package thing.

Beyonce & Terrance @ the BET awards lol.. haha that was sum funny shit…

Issiah Washington, still cant get past the scary black negro henchman in Romeo Must Die… But yeah he be doing the dang thang on Greys Anatomy.. Best Medical Show out there.

I think Terrence has a sexy thing going on. Not because he is light either.

I wouldn’t say People is just putting up the Token blacks. Like it or not, Beautiful People to them are people who are both beautiful AND doin’ big things. And, as much as I’m tired of seeing Beyonce’s ass everywhere, the bitch is doing some big things. So is Terrance.

ok this is kinda off subject, but I’m going to throw it out. Why are Caucasian people called white, and African Americans called black, but Asian people aren’t called yellow, and Native American people aren’t called red, or Latino people aren’t called cafe au lait. I know off topic but…

CHUICHI….. Good point b/c sorry folks. I think Gabreille Union is more beautiful than Beyonce. (I am sure there are a lot of people that someone could put before Beyonce.) But as noted before these are our “token, most popular this year” black folks.

The United States Of America.. Set The Bar For All The Racist Labels, So Attribute All Confusion And Feelings Of Doubts To Its Racist Past Idealogies And What Not….

White. Black.. Worked For Their Cencus, Their Books, Their Records.. They Felt They And Most Other People With Silky Hair Were White, And Everything Else Was Black…

When My School Did The Lunch Count And Attendance.. Hispanics And Any Other Non Black Person Was Considered White… But Blacks Were Blacks.

***My Soul Is Painted Like The Wings Of Butter Flies***

haha

White Supremacy Is A Bitch!!!1

Beyonce deserved it. She’s beautiful inside and out.

Terence ain’t all that attractive to me plus he was married to a white woman which is a turnoff.

Isiah is sexy. Every since I saw him in Girl 6, I was hooked. I love his voice.

Most Black people in Hollywood are more beautiful than half of the list but whatever floats People’s boat.

**And also for the off-topic subject.

All Blacks aren’t African-American. You got Jamaicans, Haitians, Cubans, etc. Plain and simply…Black.

Black in beautiful

HONESTLY…

If the list are of people who are both beautiful AND doing big things.

Where in the hell is Mariah Carey?

Now THAT chick was everywhere this past year and a half, but yet, Beyonce, who has done nothing this year (that is out) is in it.

Yea, Umm. This is a no - no.

This is not B’s most flattering picture! Terrence Howard … He is too Vain and a little too arrogant but a great actor! B got a manly look in this pic. She is beautiful but is just not her best pic.

This are the most beautiful american celebs, not most beautiful people in the world!

SO THESE ARE THE ONLY BLACK FOLKS “PEOPLE MAGAZINE” DECIDED TO PICK THIS YEAR?”

I dont know about TERRANCE or ISAIAH, but I know BEYONCE was PICKED last year. I’d rather see HALLE every damn year than BEYONCE 2 years in a row.

PLEASE- (plus she has another solo album comming out—here we go again)!!

CAN WE SAY “OVER-EXPOSED”—THE SEQUEL! uugh!

only 1 blk person on the list isaiah wahsington. beyonce isnt blk to me she a coon jus like terrence howard the jibba-boo

Beyonce should get the most hated on celebrity.

I don’t think Isiah is attractive at all. There are plenty of other foine men that could have replaced him. i am mad at that decision!! Oh well. Good thing I don’t endorse People, therefore i could care less.

Please! People picks the most over-rated black people of every year. When Ms. Latifah was big, she made it. When Halle was big, she made it. So Beyonce and Terrence Howard, while talented, are the most over-rated black people this year. Im surprised Isaiah made it.

So excuse my french, but People is full of shit.

I think Beyonce’ is pretty but in all the pictures I’ve seen of her lately, she looks a little sad like she’s sick of Jay-Z or something. Her smile always seems forced to me.

I think beyonce is naturally beautiful and very talented… she just gets hated on because women see her as a threat and call out any flaw they see… she dominated r&b and pop.
I am very proud to see her do the damn thing… she also snabbed the biggest head negro in charge… I take my (invisible) hat off to her.

I can say that her weaves are a little on the “i got caught tangled in my grandma’s curtain” and it looks like they spray painted her make up on.
(thats what white people do)

terrence is okay but.. he sounds like a faggot… a very intelligent faggot. But I don’t think he’s gay just a little woman in his voice box.

I love black people.. unlike mr. bush

I don’t have any problems with the list, but I would’ve also put Eva and Thandie Newton on there. This just goes to show that People Magazine is racist garbage. Everybody knows that Asiatic (Black people) and other people of color are far more beautiful than white people. I’m not being racist; it’s just the truth. Asiatics come in all colors, but Caucasians can’t be anything but white.

Hey what happened to the latinos, we come from african ancestry too! I am a black Dominican and you only know that when I speak!

dominicans in the house

i’d like to see some JAMAICANS ON THE LIST HELLO REP YI HOOD YARDIE BOYS N GYALS. i wude settle for a dark skinned latino/latina. ive watched telemundo since i was like 15 and ive noticed that the actors an erbody r gettinw hiter and whiter like there are only a few dark-skin mediumn skin latinos on there like on cada dia(7 am telemundo mon-fri) and this program @ 12 pm theyg ot a mexican dude ont here. anyway i think they shude add more blks/JAMAICANS/latinos to the list hello rep yo set!!! also latin billboard awards tomorrow telemundo india shakira daddy yankee tego calderon etc etc watch an see who shows up!! and wins big!!

Thats beyonce and crew, making history.

What about Gabriele Union or Angela Bassette?

Isaiah Washington is such a hottie! He definitely deserves to be on that list!

beyonce awwww man no matter what she does shes just beautiful

THANK YOU BOO@ IMPOSSIBLE06

no prob… i ♥ black people lol

that code may or may not work.

Beyonce is not beautiful to me. She looks like an average blk girl. I have seen black girls that are caramel with the same color hair in their head. I have seen pics of here with out her make up which does not make her a natural beauty. Is there any dark skin beautiful black women?

can we all agree to disagree?

sexyndacity,
do u look better then beyonce? because if you dont then just save it she aint average look at her you just a hater

BEYONCE

IN SLAVE WOMAN VOICE ” ISA SHOLL CAN BE CUTE FOR THE WHITES MAN!!!! ”

BEYONCE YOU JUST KEEP SINGING AND DANCING AND SMILING FOR THE WHITE PEOPLE, WHILE THEY LAUGH AT YOU AND MAKE MONEY OFF YOU IN THE BACKGROUND AND TALK ABOUT HOW FAT YOU ARE.

GO HEAD GIRL

Beyonce, beautiful as always.

Beyonce made 20 million dollars by herself last year, and the group made 25 million.. so um…

Ginger… she laughin to.. cuz becoming a wealthy ass woman off those WHITE FOLKS.. and who cares if they laughin.. She gettin paid.. She nor her kids nor her grandkids will ever have to worrie about money..

I agree, lightskinned people are always the first ones you see on music videos, movies,magazines, they get alot of attention, hell, even T.I admits to only likin light skinned or mixed girls, which explains hoopz money hungry self. Even though Gabrielle Union hasnt done much, her beauty is outstanding. She really makes black look beautiful! Shes my role model, but I still like Beyonce too.But thats my opionon.

damn it’s people magazine the most mainstream magazine on earth! what do you expect? I’m glad isaiah washington made the list. his character on greys’ anatomy is HOT TO DEATH. If you watched the show, you’d be feeling him. So that’s a nice surprise. Of course they pick the hot black people they know every year. How many black editors are there at People? What is the last successful movie that Gabrielle Union made? I mean, c’mon expecting People to acknowledge all of us in a list of 50 is ridiculous. And really, are these the most 50 beautiful people in the world because PEOPLE says so..please….

Those people (no pun intended) have yall so warped up on light skinned dark skinned. I swear me and my friends don’t have these conversations on a daily basis. I am not that fascinated with peoples skin color. I don’t know it just seems very insecure to always have that mentioned. Don’t let that shit get ya’ll down for real.

Is it just me, but I feel as though America is reaching some sort of “crisis” on the subject of race. I’ve heard more about the “n” word and lightskinned/darkskinned talk in the last month than I have in the last couple of years… race, like beauty, is one of those things that no one has control over. when “people” criticize beyonce, it’s misplaced “hate” and not just “haterism”. It’s not her fault that she’s pretty or lightskinned. But in a world where there is DEFINITELY

oops!!!!
As I was saying, definitely a preference for “white” looking black- when blacks that don’t look white talk, they’re talking for that very reason, THEY ARE BEING FORCED TO COMPLY WITH OR ARE BEING HELD TO AN UNREALISTIC, UNREASONABLE, AND OFTEN UNATTAINABLE STANDARD OF BEAUTY. They’re not just “hating.” No one is hating on Beyonce because she was “lucky” enough to look the way she does. I’M mad because of the fact that it’s in the luck of the draw to begin with and if you don’t happen to be mixed or exotic or lightskinned, you can’t be beautiful (which is B.S of course) THAT’S

I don’t know about y’all, but I’m not waiting around to be validated by some cracker publication. Pahleese!!! “eye roll” Who cares?

OOPS!!!!!!!!!!
That’s what sucks, and that’s the reason for the “hate”

Uhm^^^^^^^^^^^ I think that is the same thing that Yummie said so since I don’t want to repeat with what the both of you had to say I’ll just agree, because it is the truth. Black people don’t get stuck in that, its only bringing you down more.

@SheRoc, it’s very easy to say that you’re not affected by other people’s expectations of you, but it simply isn’t true. It matters and it affects you. Not wanting it to affect you doesn’t make the s*it go away.

It is possible not to be affected by others people expectations. Im not stupid enough not to think that I’m equal to those folks on levels….
WAIT SCRATCH THAT SHIT!!!!!!!
That is the problem, they want you to think that you are not equal to them. I had to STRUGGLE hard like most of us, BUT guess what NOBODY can’t tell me that I don’t or can’t measure up!!

hmmm… didnt realize beyonce was still black.
