  5. Steve Harveys a Mack Straight up!

  6. Don’t get me wrong i like beyonce but damn the loop gives her too much credit she has done a lot but shit i get tired of looking at the heffa any news on queen latifah or somebody rather then beyonce theres other talented black women out there not saying that you said she was the only one but damn!!!!!!!!! but anyway all of the pics look nice I appreciate you staying up late and putting them up tho…………..Steve Harvey been pimpin lol

  7. Looks like a good show….

    I’m sure MARY brought the house down….I’m sure KELLY tried…LMAO (i’m just playin’) LOL!….

    CHRIS BROWN is so CUTE, and he just turned 18…… **giving the computer the SEXY side eye**……LOL! Lemme stop…..

    I LOVE me some LYFE!! He is so talented and deserves so much more recognition then he gets…..I LOVE Robin Thicke too…..

    I see you MARIO, trying to get your grown man on…..and I see you BOW WOW, TRYING to get your GROWN MAN ON….but NOT succeeding…LOL! He would be all good if he grew a few inches, okay about 8 inches…

    BEYONCE look like she has on 14 ct GOLD STOCKINGS in that last picture. She BRONZED the HELL out of them legs! LMAO!! But she look like she worked it, so get em’ girl!….

    And i’m sorry ya’ll but am I the only one that has looked at MATHEW KNOWLES and wondered how HE ever got with TINA? He must have a mouthpiece on him….SPIT that game MATHEW…I ain’t mad…

    Alright…..NEXT!!

  8. awwww Hill Harper…….:)
    Beyonce looks hot.
    Common is lookin good too

  9. LMAO @ Janee!

    I wondered the same thing about Matthew Knowles!! Cause I’m sure Tina was a BANGER in her day!!!!

  10. Es Es

    Beyonce looks extra thick to me.
    Kelly soo pretty in the face.

  11. Surprised Kendu was not on the stage w/ Mary (maybe he was).
    There is something about Kelly that I am not feeling. Definitely a pretty girl but lacks that ‘IT’ factor to be a successful solo artist.
    I like seeing baby Daniel being whisked around to different events – nothing like having exposure!!
    Just my two cents.
    Make it a great day!!

  12. Look at Bee work that stage go head girl. I can’t wait to see her on Aug 9th!!!
    Ne Yo is doing the damn thing too I’d loe to see him live.
    Overall it looks like good performances.
    I didn’t know Robin Thicke was that tall…is it me or does he ALWAYS have on black & white?
    Tyler Perry I love him.

  13. DAMN HILIARY CLINTON IS FINE AS HELL…..ILL SMASH THAT IN A MINUTE…….LOL

  14. I was JUST about to say that#10.

    Daniel is gonna be a handful when he hit them teen years…I can see it now!!

    Bey..performin her ass off as usual..do it, chick!

    Common, Lyfe, Blair…heyyyyy. How the heeeeelll does Blair do it? Only certain men can just be fine for YEARS…I loved him on Sex and the City when he was givin Miranda the bidness!!

    Solange has stepped her game up….major!

    Can’t wait to see Mary, Lyfe and Thicke in concert.

    One more thing……………WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CHAT?!, can somebody clue a sista’ in……………………….please.

  25. Damn look at Beyonces abs and thighs…the hotest chick in the game for certain.

    Kelly looks nice too.

    Did Lyfe perform?? People really sleep on this talented brother.

    Everyone else looks ok.

  26. anyone over the age of 20 who finds Bow Wow attractive is sick in the head and is mad perverted. he looks too much like a lil kid. boo-boo

    Beyonce looks like she been getting chubby, then she whips out those mazing abs. hows she stay so thick every where elese?

    Mary reminds me too much of my aunties when we used to have cook-outs back in Yonkers. this woman is sooooooooooooo hood. she lookin mad old tho. but then again she always has.

    Damn you Ne-yo and those pootie lips

    Kelly Rowland definitely lacks the it fact. WTF IS SHE WEARING. lmao

    Robin Thicke is not cute in the face at all and he needs to get a new wadrobe. Ure almost platinum yet you still wearing the RUN DMC shoes? GTFOH

    Wow Hilary…you realised you need that black vote huh?

  27. Bow Wow looks like he’s 3 in that pic.

    Y the hell is Solange’s baby blue-eyed a white kid?! someone plz explain…

  28. Damn. Kelly is hot.

    I wonder what was going on in Anthony and Common’s minds when that picture was taken. they are 2 of my favourite personalities….I enjoyed Anthony’s acting in She Hate Me. And Common is that dude, his craft is dope and I like the way he dresses, simple and stylish.

  29. one of the o’jays looks like mc hammer…lol random i know

  30. That’s actually Steve Harvey’s wife Now. He announced Friday night at the concert that they got married in Hawaii a week ago!

    @ BLK, it was HOT as HELL in NO.

  31. Looks like fun, wish I was there. Maybe next time!

    I swear Lionel Richie could pass for Ludacris’ father!LOL!

    Didn’t realize how tall Robin Thicke is….or Regina’s just short!LOL!

  32. That looked like soo much fun!!
    Kelly looked very nice!! Her legs are awesome!!
    I’m so happy to see my favorite male R&B/Soul singer Lyfe Jennings!!
    I love him!! ♥ :-)

  33. B lookin good. Kelly does too. They both got some killa legs. Steve Harvey needs a shave and someone to push his bottom lip back in.

  34. I got to see my two fave people this weekend…Bee n Hillary *lol* I swear Beyonce had the entire crowd mesmerized. She is like……..*sighs* I’m speechless. Essence was so huge this year!!! I’m mad Mario was in my neighborhood and didn’t call me :(

  35. Kelly looks damn good. She is one of the most gorgeous sistas in Hollywood right now right along with Bee, and Kelly is probably THE most gorgeous chocolate sista! Bee looks fantastic inspite of her weight gain. Why is it that people feel the need to speak negative. It’s easier and healthier to laugh than to frown; therefore, I’m thinking it should be easier and healthier to say something positive. I may be wrong though! Get it Kelly! Get more Bee!

  36. Did anyone watch the Flavor of Love Charm School Reunion yesterday? OMG, I thought Larrisa’s mom was gonna beat Mo down!! LOL…why hasn’t the CL posted that as a story? Dayum…II’m tired of hearing about the Knowles’s clan…ugggh…

  37. Looks like a good time I want to go to the EMF so bad. OMG Solange’s son is soooooo cute.

  38. LMFAO @ the second pic of Bee. She look crazy as hell.

    I don’t know why Solange couldn’t wear this dress for her b-day instead of the mess she wore (the white dress). She looks so cute.

    Ne-Yo looks ugly still haha.

    Mary J look fly.

  39. Beyonce looks great & all. So does everyone else (looking at you Mario..wink wink).

    But ole boy NEXT to Beyonce. GOOD LAWD.

  40. Common is so f*cking sexy! Damn.

    Kelly looks insane. It looks like she took one of those terry cloth jumpers and bedazzeled it. She looks like sh*t.

    Lionel is looking all fresh and clean. Go on, boy!

  41. did anyone else notice that sexy ass dude on the left of beyonce he is looking scrumptious

  42. Geez, there’s beyonce doing that same tired sex kitten naked girl shit she has been doing since destiny’s child, with the big fake wig, and spray tan. She seriously need a new gimmick.

    I hope Kelly’s performance was good, though, her performances has been lackluster.

    Hill Harper is so gay, he should just come out with it already damn…

    Go Mary J!

  43. @39, yeah that was a good one last night. I’m glad they had a discussion like that yesterday. They always talk about this stuff without the people who actually act like that around. This time, People who act like that (LArissa) we’re there to hear this coonery is rediculous. But when you seen her mom, you see where she get it from. Cuz as a mom, she finally got up when Monique stepped up to her??? She should of got out there when she was cussing like that! Parents I tell you these day…where are they!

    My bad, I digress…The essence fest look like something that would be coo to go and check out one year!

  44. Hilary better hit those negro events like Bill use to. The chitlin circuit may not get you votes, but it will get you respect in the hood.

    [yawn @ the rest of the monotony]

  45. Mathew Knowles always look like some old pervert for some reason. Maybe cus he pimps his kids so hard.

    Beyonce stay having some of the sexiest dancers.

    Steve Harvey’s lips make me want to sew my business up. EWW!

  46. @45, y dont u give the “gimmick” to her since ya sooooooooo concerned.

    *~*~*~*~*~*And Beyonce is lucin very sexii as usual but 2 me she did get thicker.She got sum killa abbs,those R NOT lady like,but gud thang she werkin out.
    *~*~*~*~*~*Solange STAYS a burnin mess along w/ Kelly. Kelly tries so hard but it jus duzn’t werkout.Point Blank.She really needs 2 give it up.
    *~*~*~*~*~*Mathew Knowles needs quit b4 it starts.He duzn’t luc gud in n-e way shape OR form.And they tried 2 make Daniel luc all gangsta ,when his shoes dont go w/ the shirt.But he’ still a cutie.
    *~*~*~*~*~*When I took a glance @ the lil photo of Mary I thought she was Remy Ma,and that is NOT a gud thang.The pic where she’s in the green.
