Actress Nia Long is on the cover of February 2007′s issue of Essence. Long finally steps out and speaks on the relationship drama in her life – remember that rumor we posted about last summer, involving her and two men fighting at a mall?
on if the scuffle that took place last summer is true:
Yes. But I want to get this straight: It wasn’t my fault. i didn’t start it; I didn’t throw any punches. It was one man’s ego against another man’s pride. It was all about them.
Read the rest of the article here. She looks amazing in this issue.
GORGEOUS!
That is the bad part about having a child with a woman your not seeing anymore. Every man worries about the child being around the men the woman dates. I fully understand the father’s emotion and I would probably swing too.
NIA looks amazing!! Beautiful Pics….very nice to see a different face on a cover of a magazine!!
Nia,
Please go to more casting calls for movies. I’d really prefer to see different black women (like you) in movies instaed of these other tired ass black chicks that look pretty but really can’t act (ie, Halle, Beyonce). Have a great day.

Nia is a beautiful woman. She hasn’t change much over the years.
damn she looks good
Nia has always been a BAD CHIC! I liked her best in the BEST MAN! Hadn’t watched too much more with her except Frest Prince. Well, I saw bits and pieces of Love Jones or whatever, but I didn’t like that movie.
Anyway, was her child’s father the one rumored to be a bit “supsect” and that’s why they broke up? Someone let me know. I sure hope she didnt’ get pregnant by a “DL” brotha!
I’m glad she LOVES shoes like ME! I knew she was cool people! Go Nia! Also, yall oughta catch Boston Legal, I liked THE Practice better, but this one will do.
indeed, she’s a beautiful lady and always looks good.. she’s good at what she does as a career too… what goes on behind close doors, would defo not cause me to lose respect for her in any way
Damn, Janet Jackson got er’ one doing magazine covers!
Nia has been replaced by Megan Good!
she is just damn beautiful
you can tell she has a great personatlity inside and that makes her even more attractive
Now here is a black female who is flawless, has a nice personality and can actually ACT. I have always liked Nia. Face it, this chick has got it going on. She’s a beautiful person on the outside as well as the inside.
aint this like her 5th time on the cover??!
ESSENCE GET NEW PEOPLE FOR THE COVER!!!!
I love Nia where has she been???
she is gorgeous, but like halle berry, I like the shorter hair better.!!
@71 very well said Nia is gorgeous and she needs to take her crown back, as being one of the baddest actress’s around. She is for sure a classic beauty, who does not need much make up to showcase it. Do the damn thang Miss. Long
she use to b every mans dream woman, n i idolize her alot, she still is a beauty after all these years(no homo)
She looks good.
WOW SHE’S AGED BUT STILL BEAUTIFUL I LOVE THOSE DIAMOND HOOPS!!
NOW THIS IS NATURAL BEAUTY! (2 ME)
what???????? Yao Ming? for the houston rockets
If Nia is dating Yao then I just married Beyonce. LOL
Nia is my girl
She is not dating Yao Ming. Last time I heard he was dating some tall ass Chinese basktball player in China, but she looks great!!!!
glad to see her finally back on the scene. She is truly one of the more talented black actresses that we have.
I see where she also has a part on one of those television legal shows.
Nia Long, Gabrielle Union, Vivica Fox, Wendy Raquel Robinson, Angela Basset and Malinda Williams are the only versile talented black actresses out there. Comedy, drama, action…these girls can handle it.
So pretty.
Love,Peace,&&Honeyy
To #84, dont forget Halle Berry and Kelita Smith, Taji Henderson, Queen Latifa, Eve and so many others. Black actors have it going on, we do have talent and we are kicking down the doors.
I love Nia. She is one of our best!!!
But IMHO, She needs to pick more diverse roles so that white hollywood can see her TRUE talent, instead of type casting her in these all black cast movies. Her potential is MUCH MORE than the roles she pics
I can’t wait to get this issue. WHAT is this issue that everyone is talkin’ about? I know it’s not the incident when her baby daddy got TOSSED UP by fine ass Regie Bush for oversteppin’ his boundaries? Cuz if so……that is OLD NEWS out her in LA!!!
But it’s still funny as hell lol
She’s so beautiful it’s insane.
Nia Long is a timeless beauty.
Gorgeous and classy
@81..um, are those man-tits?
#64….HOW_IN_DA_HELL are you going to say that you are tired of these chicks that look pretty but can’t act (i.e Beyonce and Halle)? You have that argument about Beyonce, but Halle is an academy award winning actress. They don’t just give academy awards away at the door ya know. If that was the case, then everyone would have one. To put their name’s in the same sentince is just disrespectful to Halle. Hell, my three year old neice could ACT better than Beyonce.
#69…Nia long has been replaced by Meagan Good huh? In what world? The same way Tyrese said Meagan is the new HALLE BERRY! LOL! Would ya’ll quit saying that FOOLISH sh*t about that girl. Cause all ya’ll are doing is getting HER clownt in the process.
It’s clear everyone has nothing but love for Nia, including myself!
If you people believe that Nia is dating Yao Ming then let me add that the mystery man in the scuffle at the mall was O.J.
She is very beautiful in these pics. I think shes dating a football player. She never denied she wasn’t.
@91 bitch get a life. As you can see I’m layin on my side.
Nia is just too beautiful. I love how down to earth she is. Gorgeous.
How did she get a cover story? They must’ve ran out of ideas… I mean, I’m just sayin…
it’s nice to see everyone on here in agreement for a change
Everyone knows black don’t crack
unless you’re smoking it that is….

I was kidding about Yao Ming being the athlete Nia is dating. He’s a 7′4 Japanese bball player for the Houston Rockets that speaks little to no english and Nia aint desperate. God, you guys are so gullible and thirsty for gossip.
Well – it’s now posted on mediatakeout -
sweet lady…

Is Nia really dating Yao Ming? I heard it on the radio this morning and this is from someone who usually gets her stories straight.
She looks beautiful in these pics! I’m glad she’s looking good again b/c I was about to cancel her out with Vivica Fox for looking too old and ashy way to soon!

First off i would love to meet the actress Nia Long because she is good at what she do and she is a good
role model for young women ,I always wanted to meet her every since i was 15 years old and now i am 28,But
a lot of people told me that she has a bad Additued towards quiet and shy men like myself ,But still
some day i would like to get a picture with her and a autograph if that’s cool some how……
INSHA-ALLAH = (If GOD Wills it).
She’s beautiful and she real too. She’s not like these other suck up actresses that think they the shit but they really not. Half of these actresses dnt even look worth nothing without make up but u can look at her and tell she has natural beauty and she carries herself as a woman, not a slut.
