Damn you, Janice!!!!

everyone looks good but tired ass Janice Combs and the sideline broad that parlayed into songwriting since she’s Beyonce’s cousin (the chick with Mama Knowles and damn her red lipstick, though it doesn’t look bad now) and ‘Monkey Collection’ and it’s majoriy negros lmaoooo nah it’s good to see a diverse amount of celebs at the event looking good.

I just want to say “Second” !!!!

SHani’s so cute. Good 4 Lorraine…she knows all those diamond monkeys r gonna b spendin their advance checks on diamond monkeys….I C U PIMP

I swear Kim K. always be on the scene and who’s that pictured with mama combs?

Ashanti, Fabolous, JennyLo, Heidi, and Seal look nice. That is all.

I love Debra Messing, she is so hilarious on Will and Grace. Fabolous you look a little tempted. I warning you brotha, the b*tch aint worth it. J.lo looks nice and so Ashanti. Who the f*** and Why the f*** is Cassie there. She aint relevant. Oh well.

Love,Peac,&&Honeyy

everyone looks nice

oooh and Mimi Valdez (who is she) looks wack as fuck, they knew the camera was there, POSE BITCH!! and peep the sneaky look on Fabolous’ face next to Kim Kardiho, he was fingering her and almsot got caught by the camera lmao

I LIKE ASHANT, BUT WHY IS LOOKING LIKE SHE IS COMPLETELY BANKRUPT.

FAB LOOK LIKE A SPED IN THE PIC W/ BRITTANY GASTINEAU AND KIM KARDASHIAN.

I RAN OUT OF WORDS FOR JANICE COMBS A YEAR AGO….

mama knowles looks albino..ish. kinda weird thou n wot does beyonce’s cousin do really[lovin her lipstick] its nice to see us pple supporting our own.

Second!!!! Everyone looks good. i am happy to see J. Lo looking good and for the record Tina is no celebrity unless Beyonce is by her side.

What’s up with the name The Diamond Monkey Collection? Am I the only one kinda offended by the name? Does it have a meaning or relevance behind it? Anyone know?

Yea Ashanti and J Lo look cute, Fabolous better stay away from that Kim girl

ok, ok…why does p daddy’s mom look like that??

Tina and Angela with that red lipstick… smh…

everyone lookin gud..no complains unless…janice combs is an exception cos boi shes always lookin……..wierd

A Jewish Woman is selling Diamonds to the Negros, and she calls her product “The Diamond Monkey” Collection.

Interesting…….

If anything Fabolous looks like ” Somebody get this stank b*tch away from me”!!!!

I thought I was the only one who caught that Bill

Janice, Janice Janice……smh all day

….I thought that after seeing “Blood Diamonds” (the movie) that most Negros would be turned off from wearing diamonds….

Well these are Hollywood Negros, huh…

* As an aside, why is it when there is a lot of negros in attendance, Kim Kardashian is somewhere in the room

I think she ( Kim Kardashian) is their secret weapon !!!
She’s a Weapon of Mass Destruction

# 18…Bill

You are crazy for that sh*t.

Cassie lookin kinda hardcore yo! I’m skurrred!

You have a point @ Bill about “diamond monkey”…
Mama Tina is killing it with the red dress and lipstick go head Miss Tina.
Ashanti looks cute.
Who is this Vee with Janice Combs? And Miss Janice finally got a darker colored wig.
Uh oh Fab are you next on Kim K’s hit list…get him Momma Jackson

What the hell “Diamond Monkey Collection”…more like the “Diamond Jemimah Collection”….that one makes more sense….Im not being negative but the name is confusingly awful. Scenerio: Mama Knowles: “Hey you know Janice has a new line of jewelry out now?” Beyonce: “Really, Ima have to empty Jay’s wallet for this, what’s the name of the line?” Mama Knowles: “The Diamond Monkey Collection” Beyonce: “………………………” Mama: “Yeah baby look at this bracelet, ” Bee: “………ummmm…yeah Im gonna need you to stop wearin that monkey jewelry and help me come up with a line with a better name…..Immediately!” Mama: “But I’m helping Jan-” Bee: “No! Bitch your helping me! Get Solange and Kelly in the Basement, we finna make some money!”

Saffire in Ny

Where is Debra Messing? Am I missing something, because I don’t see her!

Good point Bill.

These people are looking a mess!

I actually think that Ashanti looks very…blah. I can’t even think of a word. I guess average fits. That dress looks hella cheap and why does she always have the same makeup on or has the same facial expression in every photo? That smile is annoying. Her arms are huge in the first pic.

That ho KIM, she aint even nobody to be going to events. I guess being a groupie and a flunky pays off. That Gastineau girl looks like she’s giving a fake smile while saying, bitch you better not put your nasty lips on me. And I agree that Fabolous is saying, get this stank ass ho away from me LOL

Cassie looks like a boy in that photo with Pharell and looks a little dirty.

Fab look like he’s next in line for Kim’s hoe train lol

TI and Just Blaze bring “Help”, Fab’s back on top and Young Buck aint fucking with DJ Khaled…all this and more at http://www.YOUHEARDTHATNEW.com

P.S.

I puffy heart Seal and Heidi! They make such an awesome couple

#18… Bill, you took the words right outta my mouth. First Negroes tap dance to wear clothing called Bathing A.P.E., now Negroes is hambone-ing for Monkey jewlry. Next, Adidas is gonna come out with a shoe called Step-N-Fetch It…. Watch!

They wearin the shyt, so whatever.
Janice and that damn wig and them blue contacts …no matter how many times I see it..wtf?

HOLD UP BEE’S ASSISTANT ISN’T ON THE VACA WITH HER AND JIGGA AND THEM…?

but y “diamond monkeys” tho? am i out of the loop?

is it me, or does kim k look like nicole from pussycat dolls?

I on’t care what nobody say… Tina rockin dat hooker red lipstick. She look like somebody bashed her in the lips wit a STOP sign.

Good point #31.

Janice ..still a mess. It’s good to see Heidi and Seal still hanging in there. I wish Tina and her neice would stop sharing lipstick. Who is Vee?

I’m thinkin Janice got that one wig and one wig only. She must just puts it in the spin cycle, rings it out then throws it across a clothing line. There’s no other explanation for it.

I agree with # 6.

@Bill, #26 & #31,

I’m glad someone agrees with me! The Monkey Diamond Collection! What the hell kinda name is that?!!!

@Bill,
LOL at your Kim K. comment. But how true. She is usually always where the brothers are at, just waiting for one to follow the wiff of her cooch.–Which one usually does. Looks like she was trying to get Fabolous to follow her back to her sex den that night!LOL!

Fab needs to stay clear of Kim. Fab’s mother don’t play that type of sh!t!

This is what I found out about the Diamond Monkey Collection and why it’s called that:

Inspired by the popular, See no Evil. Hear no Evil. Speak no Evil. mantra, Schwartz has designed a collection which is not only aesthetically pleasing, but bears spiritual significance. “The concept behind see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil is a means to leading a peaceful, positive life” says Schwartz. “Wearing this emblem is a constant reminder of these three mantras and helps keep you grounded by empowering you to take charge of your emotions and block out negativity.” The collection, which is available by wait list only, features 18k gold and blackened-gold monkeys representing the three aspects of the adage. The handmade monkeys are adorned with canary yellow diamonds and contrasting white diamonds for the eyes. The Lorraine Schwartz Monkey Collection includes necklaces, pendants, earrings, bracelets, rings and cufflinks which can be worn layered or as a single statement piece, and are available exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman.

#27 she is in the pic with Jennifer Lopez but she is kind of holding her head down. Thats probably why you cant really see her.

Love,Peace,&&Honeyy

lol at Bill

#41, well if that is what the monkey represents, people need stop getting so freakin’ offended. Damn, why black folks always gotta turn everything into a racial issue. Why cant I just enjoy reading the damn blog. Sheesh.

Love,Peace,&&Honeyy

Beyonce has really let herself go.

Oh, I just read the new rules. Sorry Angel It won’t happen again. Everyone in the pics looks good though.

Now that #41 stated what the “official story “is behind the name, I’m still inclined to lean towards Bill’s assessment.

WOW!! How did mama Tina slim down like that?
Janice Combs white woman drag look is an embarrassment.

Man Bill @18 ,

i thnk you need a job on the LOOP for real, I realise you give some great comments, your like the bill Maher or Chris Rock of the loop dude. Not jock swinging, but calling it real and the way i think most people see it. You needz a job right up in here!!!!!!!!!!!

But definiely feeling you on the comment.

as for the pson who asked who Mimi Valdez is: SHE IS HUGE IN THE PRINT MEDIA. GOGLE HER YOUNG’UN. You get in with Mimi you jut might have a half decent career!

I like Lorraine Schwartz jewelry but I don’t know why she named it diamond monkey collection. We’ll anyway I think Ashanti and Kim Hoedarshain looked pretty. Janice Combs looks a H.A.M. as usual. Cassie can’t sing and Pharrel is a Straight fly guy. Tina and her daughter Bey look so much alike. You could tell their mother/daughter even if they wasn’t known. Seal and Heidi make a cute couple, I think their the only interracial couple black people don’t have a problem with.

Thanks for the info #41!

But I don’t know, no matter how “peaceful and inspiring” Ms. Shwartz tries to put it, I think I’d rather wear a cross.

HEEEEELLLL NNAAAAAWWWW @31 & 35 I m ROLLLLING.

The stop Sign comment kilt me

The step n Fetch it has me dying

‘Shanti looks FAB!

I heard they were serving watermelon and popeyes at this event too.

Puffy, tell your mom to fall back, chill at the mansion and watch some Matlock.

Please take heed to what Bill is typing because it is the TRUTH!!

WHY does Angie Beyince THINK she’s a celebrity?….
Something about her just rubs me the wrong way…like boo, your just an assistant lol!

Janice Combs looks just like a hood rat chick! LOL

Tina Knowles looks like some sort of witch.

#58, you may wanna take the extra “e” out of pretty.

THAT IS NOT KIM K- THAT’S THE CHICK FROM THE PUSSYWACK DOLLS
HAS SHE FADED AWAY TO A VIDEO CHICK ALREADY ?

LOL # 19. Took the wordz rite outta my mouth.

Thanks for the info @ #41

I think its funny how Janice Combs ( sean’s moms) is still clubbin’ lol go ahead mama combs do ur thang & enjoy urself. Also anatha dope party to mention is the Toyota Yaris dj vs dj battle going down tonite in D.C’s Love the Club, with Kid Capri, Truck North & Dice Raw of the Roots Crew, & supa dupa RnB sensation Mario performing. Where would Hip Hop be without shamless plugs. For more info on the event & the battle just hop on to http://www.yarisversusyaris.com/. I work with Toyota thats why i do this.

WTF @ JANICE!!!
AGAIN I SAY WHAT THE FUCK!!!
HAS SHE EVER TAKEN ANY DECENT PICS WHERE SHE DIDN’T LOOK LIKE THE HOUSE HO TRYING TO SHOWING THE NEW HO’S JUST STARTING OUT HOW TO ACT! (IF YOU PAY ATTENTION TO ME YOU TOO CAN LOOK THIS GOOD AT 75!) IT SEEMS LIKE I REMEMBER READING SOMEWHERE THAT PUFFY’S DADDY USED TO RUN WITH NICKY BARNES. BILL, RESIDENT EXPERT , IS THAT TRUE? (LOL)

Did I read that right “DIAMOND MONKEY COLLECTION”? Hmm

Everyone looks good. SOmebody tell Mama Knowles she is not a celebrity - yall know she stole Beyonce’s invitation and went to the party. Sit yo ass down!

WTF @ JANICE!!!
AGAIN I SAY WHAT THE FUCK!!!
HAS SHE EVER TAKEN ANY DECENT PICS WHERE SHE DIDN’T LOOK LIKE THE HOUSE HO TRYING TO SHOWING THE NEW HO’S JUST STARTING OUT HOW TO ACT! (IF YOU PAY ATTENTION TO ME YOU TOO CAN LOOK THIS GOOD AT 75!) IT SEEMS LIKE I REMEMBER READING SOMEWHERE THAT PUFFY’S DADDY USED TO RUN WITH NICKY BARNES. BILL, RESIDENT EXPERT , IS THAT TRUE? (LOL)

Bil Said
yes.
that’s true.

Sean Combs’ father was a Legendary Harlem Gangster.

He was tragically killed when Sean Combs was Two Years old

Wikipedia says
“When Puff Daddy was two, his father Melvin was shot dead in his car on January 26, 1972 at age thirty-three in a Manhattan park following a party he attended”

I ain’t feeling that “Diamon Monkey” name either - I can’t wear no shit like that!

Diamond Monkey collection- OK!!?? #54- you are to funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is Puffy’s mother going through a mid-life crisis.WTF, is she doing dressed up like a ghetto-chickenhead-girl…she’s to old for that sh@t.

I don’t care what concept was used to come up with the name…I don’t like it.

The reason why people are not hating on Seal and his wife’s marriage, is because, most black women aren’t attracted to him; so they could care less who he marrys.

Kim has that magic coochie, and she maybe preying on our boy Fab, because he’s hot right now and will guarantee, to keep her in the spot light.

is that ashanti she finally came out from living under a rock huh whatever happend to ja-rule

@#7:

I agree with you! I love Debra Messing too! And, I can’t see her playing any other role than GRACE! I have caught a few episodes of the Starter Wife but she’s still Grace to me!

I don’t like to talk about people’s moms, but Ms. Janice has got to get a stylist! Whether it’s clothing, hair, make-up, hoof, damn it anybody! Not a good look MA!

That Kim K. stays on the scene! Remind me of what she does again! Oh, that’s right, she’s a “party whore!” I must admit, the girl has MAD style and can crash the best parties!

Pharrell’s a cutie! Did Tina Knowles lose weight? Just wondering…..

is Cassie really preggers?
cuz she looks like it
(jus sayin)

Ok, not only is the name coontastic, but from what I see, its ugly too. Money does not equal taste

Diddy Mama being going through this crisis since ‘96 - her damn ‘midlife’ should be over by now. Her ass is just tasteless - how the hell Diddy ain’t ordered her ass to hire a personal stylist!

everyone looks nice…
i love the way the site looks

Still wondering how Kim Kardashian is a celeb.

Britney Gastineau, where’s your show? I loved that little reality show of her and her mom.

Cassie and Pharrell look like them bad ass kids that be running around the party while all the adults are partying! LMAO! It’s a cute pic.

Ashanit and J-Lo look too cute in these pics.

I hope that’s a relative sitting next to Puff’s mom, cause damn, they sitting toooooo damn close for comfort.

I’m glad to see Heidi and Seal still together. This looks like a cool event though.

no comment on kim’s ho3ish ass
shani is looking pretty good

looks fun.
Lovin the new look by the way!!

Diamond Monkey?

My people this is not okay…

ashanti looks boring as hell. you’re a celebrity stop looking so average!

mama knowles is looking younger hmm guess she had some work done!

for the person who said that wasn’t kim k. umm yea hun it’s kim k. nicole from pcd is thinner so it’s not her

@ Bill, THANK YOU!

The first question to pop in my mind is not who’s a HAM in these pics but WTF @ the name “Diamond Monkey Collection”. And all of these black celebs are actually there suppporting it!

#33 i was thinking the same thang her cuzin is always there wiff bey i guess bey sed enuff i want jay to my self this time. lololololololl ashanti = NEXT mama combs looks sick

KIM K IS A HOE!! STAY AWAY FROM MY BOO LOSO

KIM K IS A HOE, STAY AWAY FROM MY BOO LOSO

Diamond Money? wow. Fab please get 100 feet away from Kim before you get herpes.

The party looked nice. Cassie needs to back the hell away from Pharrell. Word on the street is she has a crush on him. She needs to be locked away with a vocal coach. Ashanti looks cute. I see Fabo sitting next to Reggie’s girl. You know Kim was trying to see what’s up.

EVERYBODY STOP!

Read comment #18 by Bill and reflect.

This is some BULLSHIT

Monkey what…………..some more ish that I’m not going to buy. Mrs. Combs looks like a crack whore…..Puffy Puhleeeeessee check your mom………..DAMN!

oh and industry insider (#49)…mimi USED to be huge…her ass was fired from Vibe

ps: something in my heart tells me u’re either mimi herself or a close friend of hers lol

jesus, what is up with seal’s face! i shudder everytime i see it, so nasty looking

Ashanti looks good, her boobies have gotten bigger & why the hell is she hanging out with Kim KaHOshian? Why is she even there?

For one the name of her jewelry is ridiculous. Ashanti look fits this D-list event in my opinion. Puffy’s mom look horrible. Cassie and Pharrell look really cute.

I ‘m not feeling Ashanti in these pics. Like somebody else said, she looks very plain. I’ve seen her look much better. Plus, she has entirely too much powder on.

I don’t like the picture don’t get the hype with Kim. She is plastic, and what is she know for? That’s what I thought.

Mama Combs looks a mess as usual

Cassie is cute,,,but where is the music?

Seal and Heidi look happy!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Kim Kardash or how ever u spell it, get away from fabolous.You kno what I don’t even care….he don’t like black women anyway.
Ashanti don’t take pics with this chick…you might catch some hoeitis or something plus she’s a nobody…

Umm…diamond monkeys, are you kidding me? Excuse me for being a little cynical..but alot of white people think we evolved from monkeys and we spend all our money on the “bling bling”. So now we can sport “diamond monkeys” around or neck. Come on people. Does anyone else see the craziness here?

Ashanti looks beautiful

Fab looks sexy but lol… why does he look scared???

Beyonce’s Mama… no comment

Diddy’s Mama… no comment

Pharell is cute.

I think Pharrell is hot~and anywayz I heard Cassie is messin with Pharrell but i kno he can do better!

@18 Bill you made a very good point. However, Lorraine Schwartz jewelry may be “that deal” but her new collection called ‘Diamond Monkey’ the name itself is offensive. Maybe I’m reaching with this, but all of her supporters from the pictures shown were minorities ,and it makes me feel that this is the way she might view rich people of color as monkeys who is obsessed with bling?

Ooops in the pictures shown most of her supporters were minorites.

@98 I agree as well

I collect the see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil monkeys. The are very nice looking. It’s nothing racial about it…they are monkeys, covered with diamonds…hence “diamond monkey collection”…plain and simple. blacks always wanna take something out of proportion!!!

“The are very nice looking. It’s nothing racial about it…they are monkeys, covered with diamonds…hence “diamond monkey collection”…plain and simple. blacks always wanna take something out of proportion!!!” –COURT oct. 28, 2007 post on concreteloop.com

What a great example of unintended irony. Analyzing this quote, an extremist might view it as a subliminally racist metaphor; however, I just hope it was just a curiously comical coincidence. Though the post is describing the jewelry, imagine it as a description of the celebrities themselves… “… The(y) are very nice looking…they are monkeys covered with diamonds…”, very disturbing right? At least whoever posted this comment referred to these people as black rather than negro/negroes or worse, remember, this is 2007 not 1907.

The main point of this issue is not black folks being hypersensitive on race issues; it is about Loraine Schwartz’ lack of creativity. Schwartz’ choice to call her collection by this name is simply uncreative. Most know the tragic stereotypes created to align blacks with primates in the past so I will not loom there. How about this…let us all: black, white, and brown, evolve and stop perpetuating the stereotypes placed on us from years ago. Again, the point is Ms. Schwartz could have chosen a much more creative and sensitive title for her collection. I would have expected young Skateboard P (Pharell Williams) to check her on that shit; but there he is smiling for the paparazzi. Maybe this is a class issue. To me it seems as if these uber-rich celebrities are losing sight of reality. Hey, this is America, a free country; so I guess the folks wearing the jewels do not care about the name of her collection. Should they? If you can afford it and want to wear a bathing ape T-shirt and Red Monkey Jeans designed by a Japanese man, adorn yourself with monkey diamonds from a white (Jewish?) woman, and rap about shooting people of color and selling them crack then good for you. Wow…Dance monkey! Looks like Ms. Klum brought her own real life diamond monkey…j/k, I like them and have no problem with interracial dating, but I had to say it. I’m sure some ignorant-racist-bigot was thinking it somewhere; I just wanted to beat them to it and steal their power.

Why is everyone on this site actin like this blog is about dissin Kim Kardashian…Just cuz a b*tch is cute u hatin foreal! an I’m neutral - Fabulous ok wit me but he look a lil retarded or bored just in that pic wit Kim. Also, I haven’t seen this collection but unless the jewelry is literally like diamond monkeys and shit like dat - the name is kinda stupid - Lorraine Schwartz is cool though - I doubt she called it that cuz she thought black folks was gonna buy most of it - y’all stop actin like dat - Alright now, Trish
