The cover looks very airbrushed.

Leave Mr. Howard alonE! no call back from Halle no call back from Gabrielle and as soon as he gotta white woman on his arm…all the sisters get mad…ya’ll let him go. i feel ya mr. howard!

Whoa! I was first!!! Someone please pat me on the back!

I love him…mmm….

I knew he was still married! Somebody here was telling me he was divorced and I was late as hell. They’re just seperated.

I feel what he is saying. When I like someone, I fall for who they are as a person…not their race.

TERRENCE HOWARD DO YOUR THING YOUR BRO
WHY EVEN TRYING TO JUSTIFY YOURSELF? I`M NOT QUITE SURE HALLE BERRY`S GUY IS BETTER LOOKING MAN THAN YOU BRO
IF THE GUY SHE HAS NOW WAS BLACK SISTERS WOULD HAVE CALLED HIM A SCRUB ! ISNT IT?
GO TERRENCE

Terrance’s eyes look absolutely gorgeous in this picture… I love it!!!

I think the “I still need to sit back and grow a little bit” is a damn excuse. You cheat, and your partner is supposed to understand that you’re still “growing” in spite of the fact that he has 3 kids and was married.

I think the “I still need to sit back and grow a little bit” is a damn excuse. You cheat, and your partner is supposed to understand that you’re still “growing” in spite of the fact that he has 3 kids and was married.

He was “in love” with Mark Anthony’s ex-wife, so that didn’t work…now he’s back “in love” with his wife…that shyt…not feelin it, baby!

Uhh he must’ve been talking about trying to get at Gabby and Halle while he and his wife were divorced because he and his wife were married 14 years before the divorce in ‘03 and that’s not including the dating time between the two. I hope he only used two black women as an example but whateva makes you happy TH.

I meant to add GTFOH and go grow. First Diddy, “I’m still learning how to be a boyfriend” and now this guy. Gimme a break.

He looks distinguished.

Co-sign with #10! Whatever, Terrence.

i’m not too sure about the contacts (those are contacts right?) but he certainly looks like a fine black man (in a Nat King Cole, perms & zoot suits kinda way). Old skool black glamour. But this ain’t been airbrushed- he just been using Fair & Lovely. my face bleach also gives me that kinda nice look. hydroquinone is the best

i’m glad he wasn’t dating that serial blackberry abuser Nomi.i don’t like my men bruised thank you very much.

The man can date whoever he wants. People need to stop living in the past.

I think Howard is a good actor and he so fine, also he has a really positive movie coming out about our people later this year.

What I think is more terrible than him being married to a white woman, is the fact that he had to play a PIMP before his talent was recognized by the mainstream.

I’m sick of men using lame excuses for cheating. If you’re gonna be a dog, just be a dog and make no excuses!!!!

I really never did like mister Howard but this cover is very nice . Anyways who really gives a damm about who he dates Black , White , Asian , Latina whatever floats his boat whatever makes him happy . Anyways I really think his wife is fugly ..

black people stop using them stuff mannnnnnnnnnn

I don’t care what type of women is likes, he’s fine.

LMAOOOOO @ 15 “my face bleach also gives me that kinda nice look. hydroquinone is the best”.ARE YOU FOR REAL????you must be ghetto as hell because in case you ain’t heard hydroquinone is a banned substance that damages the skin cells…..shheeeessh. The lengths some of y’all will go to to be nice and white-oops i meant light

@ 15 Lashonda

excuse me Face bleach with hydroquinone……..

someone has issues ,go sort them out !

People reading too much into this…

he looks a bit gay in this pic.
still nice tho

Damn this cover looks just like his last Essence cover…ya’ll remember with him rockin the lavendar shirt? I know I can’t forget my mama kept that magazine out like the shyt was brand new for months lol…

Anyways, why in the hell is he just trying to date same black chicks everyone in the industry wants? What about some sistas that aren’t necessarily actresses, you know good black women come in all professions?

Also what is up with this hooking his ex up with her high school sweetheart after he has put her through the mud and back…now he is trying to pass her to a man who would have treated her right after probably begging her to stay with his ass all those years.

I know they seperated and he begged her to take him back for a long-ass time, and then she finally did. Now this man is much more successful, sees he has way more options then before and now he wants to hook her up with her old high school boyfriend.

I’m sorry but he is just sounding like an asshole to me right now…and I know he is a great actor, “good-looking”, been through alot of difficult life situations (he was molested when he was younger) and etc…but something is just off about his ass. There is something I just don’t like about Terrence Howard…he just seems full of shyt. I’m sorry if I’m offending anyone, this is just my lil opinion.

He looks like well made up doll on this cover. He says that the only woman that he’s in love with is his wife but if your “so in love”, you don’t have time be “involved” with any other women. I mean that what’s I’ve always been told.

@ #15, face bleach? Get some self-esteem boo.

As far as Terrance is concerned, does he still carry purses around?

He just needs to get his shyt together…he just seems confused. He is most definitely on point about him needing to grow-up…

He looks average..
Too bad he’s a cheating creep.. Who wants this man??

He looks like a gay.

Terrance is a very attractive man…. I am sure Halle didn’t call him because she got a man… and gabby probaly is looking for a different type of man…. or she is just not available at the time, but if Terrence drinks alot that can be a problem, most women have been through the acoholic boyfriend, and that is nothing nice. I wish the best for T.H. he will eventually find his soulmate.

Sometimes….People don’t realize they shouldn’t be married, until AFTER they get married….

Sounds like that was the case with Terrance Howard the FIRST time around…Drinking & Cheating….
SO,
He realizes that at that particular juncture in his life, they should take a break, and they did.
He THEN
tries to hook his ex wife back with her high school sweetheart
* When you are TRUELY in love with someone, you want them to be HAPPY, even if it’s NOT with you……
THEN
he realizes (after dating) that he missed his wife, and he wanted her back…

What’s Wrong with that ???

* Men are NOT the only ones that cheat.
The Woman that Usher is with now…I read somewhere that she has been cheating on her husband with Usher for YEARS.

I know a LOT of married woman that cheat…

SMH @ 15…self-hater

#15 said “My face bleach also gives me that kinda nice look. Hydroquinone is the best1″- Ma are you serious? Whatever happened to BLACK IS BEAUTIUFL? I guess that you’ve never heard the beginning of “Keep your head up”.

@ #15… Why the skin bleach mama??? Black is beautiful, and I am sure your skin is beautiful with out the bleach… You should love your skin the way it is

How the hell you gon try to hook your WIFE back up with her ex boyfriend? lol kindve shit is that? I dont know how homegirl feels but If she feels like I know Id feel Id curse his ass out hell thats like my ex telling me he wants to hook me up with his cousin or homeboy I dont want their ass!

not trying to pick on you… just saying

terrance’s features are a little too “pretty” for my liking.plus with the way he dresses it gives too much of a fruity smell for my liking. i like em rough & stank

@ 25

I feel the same way about Terrence there something that just rubs me the wrong way .

Anyways i didnt know he was molested as a child, damn to how many people did this happen . Anytime I put on the news or the Oprah show I hear al lot of stories about all these pedoflise ( im from the Netherlands and they wanted to start there own political party, yeah thats crazy allright but here you can do pretty much what you want to )I think Its really sad when adult people do horrible things to innocent children .

This is the only light brother that I REALLY like…MMMMMMMMM!!

To #25 You are SOOO on point. You put into words everything i was thinking. Thanks sista

you know what? That article was sent to me in the mail YESTERDAY! goddamn! Terrence Dashon Howard has GOT to be the finest hardworkin man in the movie business (besides Blair, Shemar, Morris, etc.)
anyways, ya’ll should go on out and buy it. that n*gga is SEXY.

#15 WTF? Face bleach? I think some has seeped into your brain.

HIS GOT LOVELY EYES. I WANA SWIM IN THEM, AND NEVER JUMP OUT.

Sexy ass, damn!!

Terence strikes me as a contradictory, confused slimeball. Did this MUTHASUCKA really go there w/ the Black women shyt?
Did he have to go there? Is he trying to stir controversy his way? Trust that I won’t be watching his movies anytime soon.

Terrence Howard is a disturbing individual.

#1. Who asked him what he is mixed with? And now he is part Asian, and Spanish? LMAO…

#2. Who cares that he is married to a white woman and why is he justifing it to us?

#3. If he loves his wife so much, why was he dating Dayanara Torres, Skeletor Marc Anthony’s exwife?

#4. Why was he dating Naiomi Campbell if he is married and in LOVE with his lovely wife??

#4. Why can’t people just be black without going into all this ish about I am indian, chinese, german, sweedis, Puertor Rican Crap?? Do white folks carryone about “my great grandmother” was black? Hell NO, the only way we find out is if their friggin kids come out with nappy hair of a afrocentric nose! Please, GMAB!!

hell halle likes white guys I knew she’d date one when she divorced eric benet who cares what th likes that’s him me I’ve been all over the world like diddy experimented with all types of girls blacks, whites, creoles, gypsies, jamaicans, africans, latino’s, indians, satanists, strippers, orgies, headbangers, I did it all and I’m not even in my mid 30’s.

Such Magnificence said:

“Anyways, why in the hell is he just trying to date the same black chicks everyone in the industry wants? What about some sistas that aren’t necessarily actresses, you know good black women come in all professions?”

True, but let’s face it: if Terrance Howard, or any other rich brother, came onto CL and read all these women telling Eddie Murphy’s ex, Kim Porter, Scary Spice, and every other woman who was in a relationship with a rich man that didn’t work out, to “clean his ass out,” he’d realize that it is better to stick with women in the industry than a “normal” woman. It may be about love in the beginning, but when things go bad (and they go bad for 50% of ALL relationships — black/white, rich/poor, famous/regular) then he will become a regular woman’s meal ticket. If he got with Halle, (and to a lesser extent Gabrielle) and things went bad, they’d each go their own way, no loss to either party.

P.S. - Why does every black man have to be labelled as gay — whether metrosexual like Ne-Yo or a thug like 50, this downlow stuff has people over-paranoid.

P.P.S. - Such Magnificence, I disagree with your post, but if that photo by your post is you, you are fine as hell.

HIS EYES ARE GORGEOUS, THEY DONT LOOK THE SAME COLOR AS THEY USUALLY DO, MAYBE THEY ARE CONTACTS!!

AMD U SHOULD SEE HIS BROTHER, HE IS VERY GAY LOOKING.

LMAO @ #19. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!?

He seems to really try and make black women look bad wont support anymore of his movies for a long time you can judge a whole race for a couple of people poor excuse

Hydroquinone has a variety of uses principally associated with its action as a reducing agent which is soluble in water. It is a major component in most photographic developers where, with the compound Metol, it reduces silver halides to elemental silver.

In human medicine, hydroquinone has been used as a topical application in skin whitening to reduce the color of skin as it does not have the same predisposition to cause dermatitis as Metol does. This use is banned in some countries (e.g. France) because of fears of a cancer risk.

ARE YOU FU*#ING KIDDING ME!!!

http://myspace.com/productofthablock5

I read an article where he found letters from his wife’s high school boyfriend talkin about how much he wanted to be with her, etc. He asked her about it…then called dude and said he wouldn’t stanf in their way if they wanted to be together…THEN he started dating Marc Anthony’s ex…well…that’s the way the story went.
Halle dated black men…and had some fucked up relationships…now she has a white one…and it seems to be workin for her…whatever works.

#39 and #41…at first I wasn’t going to post it but hey its my opinion and everyone has one!!!

LMAO @ THAT CHICK USING BLEACH!!!!!LMAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!THAT SHIT IS TOO DAMN FUNNY

he need to shut up with hisself talking about black women,you aint all that loser.!! You probaly on the down low anyway with yo fruit cake self!!
So take your dirty dookie dick some place else!!

why they keep putting the same people on the cover *yawn*

Ok I think Terrance looks really good in this picture although I don’t really find myself attracted to him. He’s a good looking dude. Now onto to the cheating thing look to each is own almost everybody in the limelight now-a-days cheat. Not that I condone it but it is what it is.

Now to the white women it is 2007 and who you love is who you love and as long as they love you back it doesn’t matter what the outside world thinks.

@ 57. Did you buy this edition of Essence?Who are you talking about using bleach-Halle or Gabrielle?I wouldn’t be surprised if they did but its a bit unfair of Terrence to talk about that in his interview. Talk about putting those women on blast lol! But i guess they should know better. He looks very handsom by the way : )

let me be ghetto for a moment, don’t nobody give a damn who dates who. secondly, the majority of the men in hollywood are over sexed zealots who think that they are god’s gift to women. be attracted to whomever you want to be attracted to, but don’t walk around thinking everybody and their mother wants you. and also,to those men who try to use white women as tools of revenge against black women that did you dirty, nobody is looking at your crusty ass either. in summation, please get over yourself! and please excuse the disorganization.

*sighs*

I’m really fed up with this black vs. black mess for real.

Two sistas SUPPOSEDLY turn him down, he finds this regular white chick who’s not famous and gave him the time of day and now ALL sistas wouldn’t give him a chance. Boy Please.

Remember, Terrance, that Black women support your ass and go see your movies. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. His publicist needs to be fired.

Black men need to stop making excuses for the fascination with white women. Don’t black women down cause your ass lusts after white women; own up to that fact and live with it without having to come up with stupid ass reasons why you don’t like sistas.

Whoo Lord, the Black race is cursed with self-hatred.

@ 62 money makes you beautiful according to “hollywood”

That man is georgeous!!!!

Terrence really needs to get over himself. So what Halle didn’t return his call. She is one of the most beautiful women in film. If she went out with every guy that had a thing for her, she would be on dates 24/7. I feel what he’s saying about loving he wants to love and I respect that but don’t use Halle or Gabrielle as the reason why you married a white woman!

Does anyone else think he looks like a young Smokey Robinson? Look closely. Maybe it’s the eyes.

Anyway, there’s something about him I don’t like!

Im fed up with it too, Hollywood only date white women and the black men that are with black women are still down to earth. Even Basketball players and football players are dating and marrying the blonde haired blue eyed, because we supposdly take their money and cheat.

WHATEVER GET OVER YOURSELF TERRANCE, WHITE BOY!!

Now slickback needs to stop all the whining, shit who whines more: him or Keith Sweat???? Damn just give it up!! I still think he’s a great actor though

#63 Megan right on point!
I often wonder WHAT PERCENTAGE of BLACK men have the same mentality as Terence/Kobe/Taye/Quincy/Tiki/Tiger and the rest. What percentage?? .
..and isn’t funny that our “black men” can come on and gossip about everything else from New York’s enormous tits to Toccara’s snaggle-tooth mama, but when it comes down to defending us, they pretend their tongues are cut out.
F*cking pathetic.

fascinating…

#38- ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Girl I feel u on that 1

[edit] Biography

[edit] Early life
Sinbad was born in Benton Harbor, Michigan to Rev. Dr. Donald and Louise Adkins. He attended college between 1974 and 1978 at the University of Denver in Denver, Colorado, where he lettered two seasons for the basketball team.

[edit] Military Service
Sinbad was in the US Air Force as a Boom Operator aboard the KC-135. He was almost booted out with a dishonorable discharge for various misbehavior including going AWOL. For him, the military wasn’t about service, but a vehicle for getting the attention of his idols, the Harlem Globetrotters. Being a 6′5″ former college athlete, his plan was to play basketball in the Air Force, get noticed by the Globetrotters or another pro team and just leave.

“I didn’t make the Air Force basketball team and went into denial,” he says. “So, I kept going AWOL. My mother kept begging me to go back. I told her, `No, I’m not going back. I’ll just grow a beard. They won’t recognize me. I’ll just be another Black man with a beard.’ I was going to Georgia Tech to learn about computers. I’d go AWOL all the time. I’d just leave. I’d come back, hoping they’d throw me out.” But they didn’t.

In 1981, things began to change. The comedy bug hit him when he participated in an Air Force Talent Show. He won several contests on the base in Kansas. “That kept me alive,” he says. He began serving as emcee and getting laughs for it.

[edit] Career
Under the professional name Sinbad, he began his career in the 1980s, appearing on Star Search and The Redd Foxx Show. At one time, Sinbad hosted his own talk show, VIBE, and portrayed the goofy coach Walter Oakes on A Different World (a spinoff of The Cosby Show). He also had his own show, “The Sinbad Show”, in the early 1990s on Fox. The show proved to be family-worthy, but was cancelled due to low ratings. He was also featured in a late 1990s infomercial for Tae Bo, where he claimed that he was successfully using the Tae Bo system to become an action star. He was the host of Showtime at the Apollo (formerly It’s Showtime At The Apollo). He had originally hosted from 1989 to 1991 and was the temporary host in 2005 while regular host Mo’Nique was on maternity leave.

During the 1990s, Sinbad guest-starred on an episode of Nickelodeon’s All That. In one sketch, he played the father of recurring character Ishboo, humorously dubbed “Sinboo”. He also made a cameo appearance in the comedy movie Good Burger, starring Kenan & Kel, as “Mr. Wheat,” a short tempered teacher whose car gets crushed by a giant realistic hamburger. His character was modeled after Gough Wheat, a past teacher of the movie’s producer at White Station High School in Memphis, Tennessee.

Sinbad’s film roles consist of the comedy Houseguest, which was released in January of 1995 and grossed $26m in North America, as well as the films First Kid and Jingle All the Way.

[edit] Sinbad in pop culture
Sinbad was referenced in the Family Guy episode “A Very Special Family Guy Freakin’ Christmas” where a bored Peter Griffin states, “This is about as funny as Sinbad. Not the comedian, he’s hilarious, the sailor. Though I guess he wasn’t meant to be that funny to begin with.” Family Guy referenced Sinbad again in a scene where Stewie loses to him on Star Search.

He was also referenced on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air when Will is aspiring to be a stand-up comic. His uncle Phil is none too enthused about the idea so Will says: “I bet Sinbad’s parents supported him.” To which Uncle Phil replies: “They named him Sinbad! He had two options: pirate or comic!”

Sinbad was also referenced in the Candlejack episode of Freakazoid, where some kids were naming what ‘the scariest thing in the world’ would be. Freakazoid says, “No, the scariest thing in the world would be if they gave Sinbad another TV show.” The kids then run, screaming, into their cabins.

the black community as a whole…is going to be washed out in a few years…

WIKIPEDIA I REPEAT WIKIPEDIA IS NOT A CREDIBLE SOURCE!!!If I can’t use it on my research papers for school than its not credible…
