Alicia, I love you so much, but I do not love those bangs or that shirt! You get a pass, though, because you’re A.Keys!

Alicia is a pretty girl, but dressing up isn’t her forte. She never looks comfortable.
Kimora is a beautiful woman, but she’s a media whore. And people talk about Beyonce….
How sad that your (ex)husband is checking you on the carpet in front of the camera.
Wanda, Wanda, Wanda…that lesbian look isn’t good. Gotta give you props on your comedy tho.
How does Damon do it? His name dosen’t have the same draw as it did years back, but he still manages to get into these type of events. Guess his money still gives him power, but where’s the respect?
And why does Alicia’s man look like Todd Bridges?

Alicia’s hair looks good! She suits the bangs.
Why are her and her man wearing jeans to such a formal event..its totally inappropriate, but they almost pull it off.
I’m not a fan of Kimora, but she looks fantastic. The dress it hot and the shoes are to die for!
I’d like to see Russ wearing some nice chic loafers with that suit.
Gayle looks like she’s wearing Oprah’s curtains.
Rachel Ray is pretty & Helena is my all time fave white supermodel..its good to see her out..she’s beautiful.
Damon Dash should of stayed home.

Everyone, with the exception of Wanda, looks great!! Kimora is rocking that dress and Russell checking her on that gum IS LOVE!!!! He wanted to make sure that she wasn’t falling short and checked her. If he didn’t give a damn, he would’ve let her go on looking ghetto, chewing that gum. Regardless of what marital problems they might be having, they still have a geniune love for each other. It’s too obvious to miss.

Nice Photo !!
Iman - Timeless Classic
Alicia Keys looks very young and fresh faced !!..She must be in Love !
Kerry Brothers - What’s Wrong with his pants ?? The look like there a size 34 waist, and he wears a size 32…
Damon Dash - Why can’t her EVER smile or look happy ??? Is he THAT depressed over Aaliyah’s Death ??
Kimora - Does she EVER stay home ???? Who raises her kids ??? If there is an Party/Event being held in NYC she will BE There…
I’m thinking about having a Party in a Cardboard Box on 6th Avenue….I’m going to send her a invitation…
29.

Kimora - Does she EVER stay home ???? Who raises her kids ??? If there is an Party/Event being held in NYC she will BE There…
BECAUSE SHE IS A BUSINESS WOMAN AND A CELEBRITY. AND TRUTH BE TOLD A WOMAN CAN GO OUT EVEN WHEN SHE HAS KIDS. THEIR KIDS LOOK HEALTHY AND HAPPY.
ALICIA KEYS LOOKS LIKE THE QUEEN SHE IS.
IMAN MUST MEAN PERFECTION IS SWAHILI BECUZ THAT WOMAN DOESNT HAVE A FLAW.

Alicia sporting the bang, I like that!..Kimora seems to be everywhere as of late #28..I was thinking the same thing. What was Kimora doing in the pic Russell?..It looks like she spitting in his hand, that’s crazy. Oh ok, she was chewing gum, lol. I know she felt like a little girl when he made her do that.

Alicia has Ugly nasty looking legs!! That why she always keeps them covered.
PEOPLE SAID THE SAME ABOUT JANET AND THEY GOT IT ALL WRONG. NOW SHE SHOWING HER BODY EVERYWHERE. JUST BECAUSE ALICIA AINT FLAUNTING IT DOESNT MEAN THE ARE NASTY. AND HAVE YOU SEEN PICS OF HER IN ITALY IN A BEIGE OR BROWN SWIMSUIT? OR WHEN SHE WAS IN THE BAHAMAS YEARS AGO IN A BIKINI? SHE HAS A BODY TO KILL FOR.

All these people look beautiful. Love Iman. That woman is ageless. She looks the same as she did THREE decades ago. Gone girl! Alicia is really coming into her own. Have ya’ll seen the sexy pics of her from that upcoming movie? I didn’t even know it was Alicia!!!
http://movies.yahoo.com/m...809356716/photo/970415004
Anyway, that is a funny picture of Kimora spitting her gum into Russell’s hand. Those two are a trip.

I’m happy to see my girl A.Keys, she is soooooo talented and beautiful at that! But I must say, IM not feeling the jeans.She should of chosen some nice skirt or even some nice fitted pants to go along with the top. Nevertheless she still looks great!
Kimora is working that beautiful dress. Iman is one gorgeous woman and she is in fact aging gracefully.

A Keys - Nice shirt, not feeling the jeans. She should have worn some nice slacks.
Iman - Damn I hope when I get to be 100 I look that good. LOL Just kidding she looks beautiful.
Kimora - I’m not a fan but she looks really good.
Wanda Sykes - WTF!!! And she aint funny.
Gayle - Um o.k.

When Kimora Lee is one of the better dressed people you know theirs a problem. Iman looks stunning as usual, I hate Alicia’s sense of fashion, and as much as I love Wanda Sykes she looks like a little old man in that suit. Mr.Valentino looks great as always as does Damon dash. Russell and Mr. Alicia Keys should have stepped it up a bit considering this was a formal event cause they look dusty and everyone else is just bland.

Alicia, are you trying to look like Paula Abdul with those bangs, you rockin that outfit though and when did she get a man!
Iman, aging gracefully, nice dress.
Kimora, rockin that dress she should’ve wore her hair straight,never let your man correct you in public, if he does it again tell him to check his shoes. Fix that.
Russell, as we know him-rebellious.
Padma, gold is not your color girl.
Leigh Blake, you look like an old chicken that had too many shots of Patron.
Can’t stand D Dash
Wanda needs to cut it with this Ellen Degenerous shit.

Alicia: Peep show? And no jeans next time.
Alcia’s Man: He’s a grown man at a formal event…he should try to wear pants that fit. Guess I’ll never understand the baggy concept

Alicia get the damn bangs out your eyes. She looks aight but it’s probably because she’s standing next to Iman, who is one of the most gorgeous women on the planet so that’s not helping. Her man is cute as hell though. I remember Russell Simmon’s saying one of the things he liked about Kimora was that she was so cultured. That being said, I would never use that word to describe her cuz i just don’t see it. She seems a little rough around the edges most of the time, displaying a lack of tact. But shit, i love her and she looks great. I’m sure the 2 nannies that they have are raising the kids. Boo to everyone else

Alicia actually looks good and her mouth aint doin the Fat Joe lean back twitch. Kimora is a sexy bytch, no vulgar. Iman is flawless and she’s old. Dame is a hustler and Valentino is one of the greatest. Man Russel still as ugly as Sam Cassel, but he do him.

I just adore Alicia. Not only is she beautiful and talented, but she’s a humanitarian who works really hard for residents of Africa! She’s one of the few female artists out there who doesn’t hog the spotlight and put all of her energy into her career, but thinks of someone besides herself! She uses her fame for the greater good and that’s so admirable.
By the way, I think Kimora and Iman look gorgeous as well.

Iman just isn’t attractive to me. She looks like a drag queen as does Kimora. At least she seems to be classy unlike that tacky wife of Mr. Simmons.
Gayle never looks done. She always looks like something is missing.

What’s wrong:
-Alicia’s bangs and outfit
-Kimora’s refusal to discover spanx like her girl Tyra
-Padma Lakshmi’s recycled dress. We know your brown skin looks good with gold, but mix that stuff up.
-Kerry Brother’s jeans
Ms. Iman looks Goooooood. Were’s her man?

Miss Keys, Miss Keys.
She seems like she really doesn’t know what to do with herself.
It always seems like there’s about two or three things she could’ve done differently with her hair and her outfit.
She must either have people around her who don’t want to tell her how crazy she looks sometimes or they probably just don’t know what they’re doing.
Either way, it isn’t fair to her.
I mean, she’s too pretty to be walking around wearing one of the left-over shirts from the “Pirates of the Carribbean” and to be rocking bangs that look like a bob grew on her forehead.
But, on a more positive note, I do applaud her for the charity work that she does. And I, too, am waiting on that new album and movie.
