With likes of Idris Elba, Isaiah Washington and Chris Tucker on the scene. Y’all are out for another couple of years…..remember to cancel your reservations for the convention….LOL
Katt Williams looks like Marvin Gaye in that pic….Katt is from my hometown..WHAT – LOL
Damn I didn’t know that was Tom in the Pirate Suit.. I said “Why the fuck did they invite Johnny and why did he show up in that damn pirate suit. You can’t invite them anywh….oh wait thats Tom’s punk ass!” LOL
I thought Tito was Jermaine.
Gone head on Patti, wit cho’ bad self. DIVA at its finest!
Who splashed paint upside the O’Jays getups. Did they not see the sign that said “WET PAINT”. j/k
All in all, it looked like fun.
LL is SO sexy. LMAO at Tito looking like a regular guy…I know he is but I’m just sayin’.
On another note, some people don’t age well at all. Maybe it’s the past alcohol abuse, drug use, and lifestyle.

Looks like eveyone had a good time. LOL @ Ronnie’s wife looking like his little sister. Ralph looks a mess! Maybe Johnny’s new son is the reason he’s chunky. Patti is my girl, do your thing Ms. LaBelle.Teddy Riley-next… Tom is just well Tom. I love Mint Condition and NE. When they sing they remind you of what music is, not this out of the cracker jack box music of today. Glad to see Eddie out doing what Gerald would want him to do. Sidebar: Eddie/Gerald wrote a book together before Gerald died. It will be out soon.
I want to go one year it looks fun!!!
I didn’t know that there a few cuties in Mint Conditions!!!!
So I guess all celebrities have to have mates that look better than better itself?! If that was the case then some of yall ugly selves would never have a chance…So what!
Ronnie’s wife is an ex performer, she has to dress to the T at all times? Damn they on a cruise not HOLLYWOOD BLVD!

What happened to Ralph forreal? Cause he was the lookin one.
Ronnie was out when my parents was young and his wife was out when I went to middle school.
Ojays lookin pretty good.
Mint Condition was a gret group.
What rock Teddy crawled from under?
Tito the only Jackson that missed the family nose job session.
Anyway looks like they had a good ole time.

NIKKI SAID: I am going next year! Judge Hatchett is my girl! I told my husband he needs to put in for his vacation as soon as I hear the date!
LL is fine as all hell, but the way he has that wife-beater on is looking kinda “How YOU doin?” Put your arm in there baby..thats not cute, you throwing me off LL! I love me some Patti…she be workin them 60 year old legs dont she?
To those of you that said that Ralph use to be cute….when excatly was that? He has never been “Cute” stop playing! He aiight..but cute that is pushing it.
No #8 there real women. Ones that stay around for the long haul.
I mean to say “they’re real women”
MINT CONDITION IS THE SHIYAT!!
PRETTY BROWN EYES YOU KNOW I SEE YOU……
DANG THAT TAKES ME BACK
THAT GROUP IS CLASSIC
To All Who Cares…… I was on the cruise and had the best time of my life! If any of you ever have the opportunity to attend, please do all you can, it’s worth every penny! New Edition was the highlight of my trip along with Patti Labelle, LL Cool J, Frankie Beverly & Maze, and Silk!
Save your duckies and make sure I see you next year!
I’ve been a die hard fan of NE since 1983 @ age 7 and I’m still a fan @ 31 they good for their age….and I’m glad that Ronnie got married and Ralph is married his wife is pretty don’t care what no one says….Mint Condition is my favorite band besides The Roots…I wish I was there…the O’Jays are classic…
One thing I can say about NE…they know how to put on a show…meaning dancing and performing…they have paved the way for alot of these boy bands…alot of these boy bands out here can learn alot from them they havent’ been in alot of trouble except for broke ass Bobby…and the recent thing with Mike Bivins…but they are my favorite male R&B group of all times…Patti LaBelle what can I say….she is in her 60′s and still doing the damn thing…Frankie Beverly and Maze…music I grew up on….another classic group..

Patti is a true diva. Looking at her legs makes me wanna go hit that treadmill for a couple hours. Work it mama!
