Damn TIna looks scary, especially with that lipstick! Sad to say that Beyonce will look JUST like her once she ages and puts on weight! LL Cool J looks good as hell! That white dress makes Beyonce look chunky, but still fabolous! Russell pissed me off when he helped Kimora get rich especially when his clothes aren’t selling as much as hers!

Tina Knowles always looks WICKED, as if she has it out for everyone on the planet. I dont get warm vibes from her like alot of folks, even when she is well intentioned & supposedly on a “positive” basis.

& You are right! DIDDY does have a HOT Fashion line, I can’t wait for his womens line to come out either.

& also true he cant rap or “dance (anymore)” for nothing!! It is so hilarious to see him doing his spins & trying to dance in his performances & videos now, unlike back in the day. (Laurie Ann was correct about him being “corny”–I will give her that). But the man does have an amazing eye for Fashion & Talent, because that Boy Band he just put together on MTB4 are some Talented, “fine” young men!!

#15

Bill, I just think that BEYONCE is putting on some weight (look at her momma, wasn’t Tina Knowles “mad slim”- last year some time? Now look at her…it’s in BEYONCE’s genes. “The weight YO-YO”) I dought she is preggers but who knows?–with all the females popping up “Pregnant” in the Industry these days, like it’s the latest Fashion Trend. Beyonce has a great tan though (looks a little “orange” in one of the pics, but Id guess it’s a “real tan” with all the vacationing she does)

LOL!!

I love it when “WE” can do something positive in fashion - not very many people of color are INVITED so it’s a good then when we can do our OWN thing… Side bar: B looks Fab as usual but why does her mom always look so damn mean?? shhhhesh It’s okay babes

Good for everyone, Beyonce is looking good.

@Bill–maybe she is gaining weight but it’s also this mumu mini-dress style that everyone seems to be into. Remember the mumu dresses that your grandma wore or that pregnant ladies would wear.

@ Kmniles - I totally agree. Celebs no longer want to be good at one thing - they want to be good at everything. I think it’s rooted in a fear of becoming irrelevant and/or boring. That’s what happens when your talent and reach is limited.

If this was just about making money, Unbewevable, PiffPuffShitty, et al would have sat their asses down long ago because they have well surpassed the monetary status necessary to secure a financial legacy. As I said, it’s all about staying relevant in the public and impressing other people.

I’d love to see some of these celebs spend as much time and energy supporting causes that effect real change in the world. Nothing’s wrong with making that paper but when it’s all said and done, the world is not a better place because people sport HoD, Sean Jean, Rockawear, Phat Farm … whatever.

@# 36 WOW, I’m shocked by how closed-minded you are. Good at one thing LMAO!!! Who wants to limit themselves like that nowdays when it’s endless opportunities out. That’s what went wrong back in the day with most singers that were only “good at one thing” they broke as hell now. With all the downloading, bandwagon,fickle fans nowdays if all these people did were sing they would be broke as hell. Instead of hating you need to get you a hustle. Hell it’s average people that have jobs that they are “good” at but they also have side hustles b/c they aren’t trying to limit themselves to one check.

I swear some people are so stuck back in the 60’s and it’s sad.

Tina is worse than Ashanti’s mother. Go sit down and stop being up in everything.
Beyonce caught without her clown make up looking bloated and not even attractive, barely average. Oh well, she’s all hype anyway.
P-Shitty is always a camera hog.

Mario has grown into a nice looking young man.

The only line that’s really worth anything, is Sean John. I don’t see anything wrong with branching out, but my thing is, be good at it. With these singers/rappers they put their name on anything and act like they had so much too do with it when they didn’t. I think its unfair because there are so many talented people out here that actually have the skill and can’t catch a break.

@ 39

I TOTALLY agree. How the fuck can anyone knock someone else for trying to make MORE money??? Some of you people are crazy or something. Talking about stick to ONE thing. Don’t hate, because your average, no motivation, backwood thinking asses can’t do but ONE thing good. IF THAT!

It’s 2007 people!! Stop having that slave mentality!

#36 most of the time you don’t hear when celebrities donate their time and money to charities which it is unfortunate. It’s more gossip, negative press and rumors. The news and newspaper are filled with negative stories.
If they have other talents why just focus on one. If you could do it all, go for it. Not just celebrities, people in general. I think it is great.
(The more money you make the more you want.)

@27

I’m tired of celebs whoring themselves out to the public. I’m all about getting your money, but sometimes the lengths you’ll go to get it is a bit sickening. Most of these celebs just want to add a moniker to their name not because they’re passionate about it, but because it’s the new thing to do.

The real issue I’m having is rooted a bit deeper…they’re targeting our youth with all this garbage! If you work and make your own money, spend it how you like but parents are going broke trying to make their kids look fly in school instead of investing that $150 for shoes rather than tuition. I would for once like to see one of them personally get involved in educating kids, and I’m not talking about doing a commerical or donating to “Save The Music”. Buy books, buy computers, pay someone’s tuition for a semester. Feed someone who’s hungry. Donate to housing organizations. Do something that requires your personal time where you spend out of pocket and can actually see your money helping others, rather than donating to some “charity” that skims off the top. GRASS ROOTS! Black celebs have so much power in entertainment but I still don’t think they are always using it in a fashion that benefits the people that support them.

Ooops…I went off topic a bit…back to celebs whoring themselves, lol. I hate to use Beyonce, cause I absolutely ADORE her, but oh well,lol.

Entertainer=A
Singer=B
Songwriter=C
Actress=D
Clothing=F

Do you see where this is going? To me she’s watering down her true talent. All the other things are secondary and not necessary.

LoL @ Classy.
I’ll entertain you because I’m not out “hustling” right now and have some time. LoL.

First, you don’t know how many hustles I got going on so saddown with that BS. lol
I know a good hustle when I see one. But there’s a marked difference between hustling and pimping. You’re obviously not from where I’m from so let me break it down for you from my perspective: A hustler uses what they’ve got and what they know to get where they want or need to be. A pimp has what they need and uses others to obtain more of what they want. Once they get it, they do their best to get more. These folks passed “hustle” status years ago. It’s only a hustle when you’re struggling baby.

Secondly, I never said anything about people only being good at ONE thing. If you read my post carefully, which you obviously didn’t, you would comprehend that I was intimating that these celebs are trying to be good at ALL THINGS. No one wants to be one-dimensional, and no one should be. But it’s obvious to me that when a person has solidified their place in society as being good at something, and they just keep cranking out more useless shit (non-talent related shit like throwing a name on someone else’s clothes), it’s no longer about expanding dimensions. It’s about pimping the public for more $$.

And just FYI, a lot of the singers that are “broke now” aren’t broke because they only sang. They’re broke because they were either bad with money, didn’t read their recording contracts carefully or were just plain stupid.

54.

kmniles

Tuesday, August 28, 2007 /

@39 Classy

You calling someone else “closed-minded”? If you want to talk about celebs going broke, at least be real. Most of them go broke because of excess spending and not properly investing (and I’m not talking about ventures, but actually saving money). It’s not cute to have 10 homes and 5 cars and not have them paid for either! And you are limiting this topic to singers, when I’m taking about people in all facets of the entertainment industry.

Actually it’s you with the backwards, slave mentality. Wasn’t it you just attempted to cut someone at the ankles with your post? Nice way to “enlighten” a fellow brother/sister. And you calling people average, when your ass is sitting at your computer like us and not in the pics above, so what does that make you? Average like me?

Stop for a minute and instead of attacking others, state your opinion and just move on.

Hmmmm…What about that basketball or football player that MAY obtain a career ending injury?? Let’s say he/she decided to invest in a chain of restaurants, hotels, clothing line, etc. while they were still active in their. Is it wrong of him/her to want to FURTHER secure their future for themselves or their families, because they went outside of that thing that he/she was REALLY good at doing?? Think about it….

LMAO at how passionate some of ya’ll get over supporting OTHER people TAKING your money!!! Hilarious, to say the least. Get your weight up champ. Your preaching about slave mentality but you’re on here championing a non-cause.

I think people need to worry about themselves or see things clearer. Lets be real life is a damn business there is no one here who can knock any of these people’s hustles they are in it to make money, i’m sure you want money. So why the hell should a celeb who has notoriety limit themselves to just singing or acting. I tell you this if I was a singer I would make sure to have as many slashes in my name that it can take. Beyonce is smart she’s doing the damn thing she’s pushing 40 of course she can’t take a break she’s gotta get it while its hot.

As for them whoring themselves I don’t see how. As for parents breaking their backs to buy things for their children to look fly that is no one’s fault except for their own children are not born materialistic that shit is definitely learned
