I watched Tay-Tay, cried and went to sleep. She did a nice job.
Somebody slapped a relaxer in her head so damn good, I wonder how she gone ever get that off her scalp.
I like Eve’s hair, she’s rockin it.
Kobe’s family was dressed LIKE THAT to go to DisneyLand.
I guess it was some kind of promo special or some shit. Who goes to DisneyLand “dressed up”. Its too much shit to get into!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantasia looks beautiful. She is really blowing up and doing her thing. I thought that her dress was appropriate. I am sure she fit in with all the other hags at the Tony Awards.
Coby and his family looks happy. They look like they are going to church rather than Disney. Whatever makes them happy.

Eve looks stupid with that blonde wig. I’m sorry I just don’t like that look on her. She’s like Halle, looking better with short hair I guess.

Not feeling Fantasia’s hair or dress but she is still my girl. Kobe has a cute family but they are a bit over dressed for a theme park maybe the photo was for publicity purposes only.

AA celbs really go out of their way to support Puerto Rican Day Parade. I think this promotes unity within the community.
Can anyone tell me if thier is an African Day or African American Day Parade in NYC or other cities?
Eve looks fab.
F A B O does not.

Fab look retarded as hell to me. I don’t see the cute features everyone else does. Eve’s hair is cute, even though she got a smush face. Like it’s an invisible hand just mushing her face. Leave Fantasia alone, she is the true epitame of young single black sisters/mothers on the rise. I look up to her.

I wonder if we ever see JLo supporting anything in the African American community…I don’t think I have. I wonder if it has gotten so bad for Eve and Fab they need to “cater” to others…not being a hater jsut calling it like I see. Especially after Fab has not one sister that resembles himself in the video for make me better.

Angel, I really think we should change the picture from Kobe and Family to Kobe, Family and Kareem Abdul Jabbar. I know the youngins don’t know who he is but we need to give respect where respect is due. Just my 2 cents.

#29- TT,
I noticed him too
when i first clicked the pic, i thought it was Kobe’s dad bc i heard he played b ball too but upon closer observation, i noticed that it’s Jabar.
he was a center for the Lakers and they won the championship w Magic Johnson a loooooooooong time ago.
My aunt was a HUGE Lakers fan, so i remember.

@ MARIE2, there are black puerto ricans.
Fabolous’ family is dominican so I guess he was raised to be proud of his cultural heritage and he’s showing support to another latin culture. Eve, I think she’s just tryna promote her album.

Eve looks good I dont care what nobody says.
And if I was married to a pro basketball player I would be looking fabulous every where I went too. The family was fresh and clean looking like they were on the way to take Walmart photos.

The truth is coming at cha’. Here goes, everyone looks
nice. Eve looks great her new hairstyle is off the chain. Fab is sexy as hell. J-lo looks nice. Kobe and his family look nice. Fantasia can sing, but Fantasia
is not a pretty woman, she looks like a man in a dress. The flat hairstyle is not working with her face, you have to be very pretty to wear short hair,and she is not attractive. She needs a new stylist and she could stand to lose a few pounds.I don’t lie she can sing, however if she were not discovered by American Idol I’m afraid she would just be another hoodrat on the block. She has this hoodrat quality about her.Thank God, he blessed her with a voice because she would just be another hoodrat, now she’s a hoodrat with a record deal.

I didn’t go to the parade because living in BUSHWICK BROOKLYN, was just like being there! I was sitting at home in my crib, all of a sudden I hear whistles blowing, & the Puerto Rican folks screaming & cheering,car horns honking,music blasting from vehicles, people walking in the street, red white & blue flags, & bandanas on strollers…my daughter was like “MA LOOK OUTSIDE THE WINDOW!”
LOL!

Puerto Rican DAY PARADE is always a good time!!!! I highly suggest everyone go once in their life. The Bryant family… What can I say?!?!? Pobre chicas, I feel so bad for those little girls. You just know Kobe & Vanessa fight all the time. Everybody knows Vanessa runs that house! I got beef with Vanessa outfit choice at Disney Land. How are you jiggy at Disney Land with your kids?!?!? It’s a family trip boo, not a red carpet event!

I agree to a point with most of you. A lot of celeb. blacks do attend puerto rican parades as if they were one. However, if you’ve ever attended an African american parade in Harlem NY, you won’t find these celebs anywhere in sight and the parade itself is extremely pathetic. From the yellow school buses with african american pride banisters, to the local churches rolling down the street in cars-hoods down-painted cardboard boxes on the dashboards- stating the church their from. I consider myself black ( though I’m mixed) so I go to both and represent hard. You don’t need to be boricua to represent. Blacks and Hispanics grow-up together in NYC,like cousins…and get on each others nerves like cousins too. So its cool to show support for each other. I just think a lot of these black celebs need to represent their own, before they support others.

That’s just like a mexican to overdress their kids (j/k- My mexican friends are going to kill me!). They are way over dressed for Disneyland… they look like they are dressed for Easter in the Hamptons.

What Fantasia is wearing for the ghetto folks here who don’t know, is something called an “Evening Gown”. An Even gown is a woman’s formal dress, usually having a floor-length skirt.
don’t hate because she showed up, show out in a formal dress. That dress is amazing, very formal so the ghetto people here likely cannot relate. but like someone else said, she was performing at the Tony’s, not the Soul Train Awards, and you need a fancy evening gown for this type of event. I think the dress she chose is great for her figure, not tight and clingy that would not have worked for her. Bravo, the best I’ve seen her look in awhile.

I am thoroughly convinced now this is ahte site for Fantasia, this girl the developer of this site uses it to bash Fantasia.
She was dressed appropriately for the Tony Awards. Now she wasn’t on Crenshaw and she wasn’t performing in compton at one of your local clubs performing where hoood rats as you say should be performing, none of you have been to the play and most of yu have not purchased any opf her music in a store. Fantasia should forget about color and stay focus on the fan base she has no matter what package thye come in, but it’s obvious that Angel is not one of her supporters, it’s obvious you prefer JHud and Beyonce, asking you to leave Fantasia alone is something i know you will never do, because you are toooo small minded for that!!!
I guess all of the women in your families are the bomb and are accomplishing great things so why not call Fantasis names and everything they wear is off the chain, does anyone of you know who designed her dress, I believe oprah dose. It was the Tony’s and she looked simply ravishing you go Fantasia, don’t let the haters make you quit!!!!!
Angel, you should be very, very proud of yourself, for with this as your profession it sure shows much more class than Fantasia, you go with your smart self to make a living with other folk bashing people. You are the black (hoodrat) TMZ of California and somebody referred to Fantasia as a hoodrat, the last time I checked compton out…whew, I never want to live there, talking about hoodrats……
