Denzel and Pauletta Washington attended the 16th Annual BAFTA/LA Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday. Did anyone peep ‘American Gangster’ yet?
Speaking of American Gangsters check out the real Frank Lucas (who Denzel portrayed in the film) in NY on Friday. The 77 year-old ex-drug lord was spotted by our boy Johnny Nunez. If you peeped the film than you know this dude was ruthless in his heyday.
Nas performed at SEMA Appreciation Party at Jet Nightclub in Las Vegas on Friday. His controversial album “Nigger” is hitting stores on December 11th. Gonna be a crazy one once he starts promos.
Check out these shots of Alicia Keys in Italy back on Halloween. She was there visiting for a TRL episode.
LL Cool J at La Dolce Vita Gala to benefit the Sarah Ferguson Foundation in New York City on Thursday. Bout time he put a suit on.
Last but not least, more photos of Brandy at the La Dolce Vita event on Thursday. Glad to see her out and about.
Everyone looks good. So I guess it’s safe for Frank Lucas to be out and about wasn’t he in witness protection?
everyone looks nice. EXCEPT for brandy. and on a serious note. does frank lucas have a disease or something?
Alicia looks good as usual
and i’m glad Brandy is back on her feet
and is it me or is she looking better and better
as the days grow?
Alicia looks good
ALICIA IS SHOWIN EM’ UP! WOW BRANDY! AND NAS AND LL JUST AS FINE AS THEY WANNA BE. THEY WIVES OUGHT TA BE HAPPY, LOL
Man I got to see that movie this weekend! I know it’s gonna be CraZy!
why is the ex-drug lord…still around not in jail!!..For some reason i think the whole American gangster movie ..doesn’t teach any lesson….when Hollywood have taken in into their hand to make movie about every damn person….even though it doesn’t help change anything…now every drug dealer out there would be striving more so they can make a movie about them..Hollywood is full of crap most especially the movie industry…everyone is trying to take advantage of any opportunity to make money…..even super head is making movie about herself!! just wat we need…another senseless movie….
I saw American Gangster a couple of months ago, because I went to a preview for journalists, and it is a GOOD MOVIE. Everyone go see it.
Alicia Keys is so shapely and beautiful!
LL Cool J just looks scrumptious!
I’m glad to see Brandy’s cute smile again
even though her choice of clothes is questionable…
@ 7. Click on the Frank Lucas link I put in the post. It goes to his wikipedia page and explains what happened with his case. He snitched on some corrupt cops, so they knocked down his prison term.
Nas be lukin HOT AS HELL. He could get it.
Ms Keys still got dat ol junk in the trunk. Work it gurl.
Brandy looks cute wit that haircut. Glad she’s gettin back on track. Much love sister.
brandy and LL have zero fashion sense.
smh @ the get up denzel’s wife is wearing.
…PS As cute as Brandy looks, that outfit and hair makes a bit like somethin out of Japan. She looks like she dressing to be a chick out of them Anime movies.
brandy was cold at least she have cloths on and not trying to get sick like these other heffas more power to u brandy
nas makes me horny………lol
King Kong ain’t got nothing on Denzel.
Frank Lucus you don’t look so tough now………I’ll kick your ass.lol
Good to see that n**ger Nas.
Alicia looking good……LL looking sharpe.
Brandy looking fantastic………….F* y’all Brandy HATERS.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m looking forward to hearing Nas’s discourse to see how he represents himself against the people that will come against him and attempt to confound him in these different interviews. The easiest way to embarass a house negro is to tell the truth. They will get frustrated.
@ angel…i know about all that …but i still don’t just see why that should be enough…Americans promote all these shits that are happening in their country …Fucked up shits…that guy is suppose to be suffering not big stars making a movie about him…and him getting rich.
Alicia keys is Da bOmB….i have all her albums
Brandy looks like shes suffering.
Nas do you
I sure hope like hell ole Frankie made his peace with the man up stairs after all the shit he’s done in his life….
So typical of Hollywood to glamorize a murdering, snitch…. but hey someone has got to make money some how…
Oh yeah, as I said before the movie isn’t that great!
American Gangster sucked!!! Don’t waste your money people, I’m serious.
Frank Lucas has some big ass hands.
If I see another pic of brandy at this event and in those clothes Ima jump off a bridge.
Go ahead and jump. Brandy has been MIA for months now. I’m happy to see pics of her in the mix. Keep doing it big CL!
@#17 and #18
I agree 100%. It will do nothing but make a generation of impoverished and marginalized kids feel further justified in doing the wrong thing… When, the reality of it all is Frank Lucas, a haggard thug gets a Hollywood biopic, starring an Oscar winning actor and sure to make tens of millions of dollars and yet has to beg the star for a car in return for his cooperation… He wants a Rolls Royce, he says…but Denzel helps him get a house, instead… The story is really lame, if you think about it…
And, Superhead’s movive…I’ll bet my hair there’s an awkwardly negative portrait of Bill Maher…and I bet the quality of the film with be Grade A because I’m sure some Conservative group will give her money to paint an embarrassing portrait of Bill. I bet you’re wondering what could embarrass the man… I’m thinking she’s going to paint him as an uber bigot who maybe idolizes Kennedy and is secretly self-conscious about his nose or something….
Denzel ass is forever trying to squeeze somebody azz. He is a perv ,and his wife hair looks greasy and artificial with all that money they have.Naz is a nigger ,but don’t get upset because i am black yall.
movie*
will be*
oh forget it, my typing skills suck!
American Gangster was a really good film i thought… i did like the documentary on BET better though.. That dude Frank lucas was kinda crazy… Dayummmmm
Ms Keys looks nice
NIce to see Brandy
lmao @15
***EVERYONE LOOKS GOOD***
How was the movie (American Ganster)?
Hold up! Is that Denzel’s wife!?! She looks like she could be his mother. 0_o
American Gangster is one of my fave movies of the year. Aside from the fact that lil’ boys are going to be running around trying to be like Frank.Thinking that ish is coo.
Poor poor Frank. He looks like he’s having a seizure. & he STILL won’t admit the fact that he has killed many people. sick.
LL needs to quit lickin’ his damn lips already!
American Gangster’s script was all over the place…but it was a good movie overall.
AMERICAN GANGSTER IS MY NEW FAVORITE MOVIE
Yeah, I went and saw American Gangsta. Pretty good. Him and his wife look good together.
denel is ugly and look a mess & pauletta looks a fool with them synthetic micro braids with all the money they got she could have atleast upgrade 2 some HUMAN HAIR, damn!!!!!!!!!
they must’ve had 2 paint make up on alicia keys because her face is pimpled up
ll looks like he has that nasty man diease
Some people say the movie was good some say it wasn’t, when I go to the shop to get my hair done I’ll see the bootleg and give ya’ll my opinion later lol.
It’s nice to see Brandy out and about, but she could have put on something that looked better.
Well I explained my thoughts and feelings about the film American Gangster. What I can say about it now is thank God I downloaded it instead of spending $10.50. But other than that, Denzel’s wife looks real haggard. All that money he makes and you would’ve thought his wife could put it to good use.
As for Alicia Keys, she’s gorgeous and all but she has to take that ghetto-ness out of her throat. It’s terribly unappealing.
At least y’all can now respect mama Tina….because i know she can never come on the red carpet wiv Matthew looking like she’s selling yams!!…geshhh!! …she need a makeover from Oprah ASAP…
@35 please get the name right before you try to clown him! lol
Anyway, the movie was only good b/c of Denzel….on bootleg that is….lol
Everyone looks good but Brandy.
I like the documentary better as well.
Last note: If little kids strive to be him then that means their parents didn’t expose them to what they could be. That isn’t his fault people’s parents don’t raise them right. Thank God for my parents!
I saw the ‘American Gangster’ early today (no bootleg). I thought the movie was excellent. I don’t believe it was Denzel’s intent to glamorize the life of Frank Lucas. Mr. Lucas took down alot of his family members – they either died or went to jail. He did 15 years in jail and lost over $250 million (once he was caught). There is nothing glam about this life. Frank Lucas was a drug dealer in the early 70′s. Over 30 years later, the US is still trying to win the war on drugs. It is a lost cause. Make the ish legal and take the profit out of the business.
As for Nas…I am so sick and tired of black people continuing to set us back. I am sure Nas thinks he has a good reason for putting out an album called ‘Ni$$er’. It is an embarrassment (sp?) to black people and he (and his record company) should be ashamed.
Just my two cents this Sat evening….
#35 Your Hating ass do know that pimples go away right??? Or are you that slow?
One more point…why are there people that are proud to have watched a bootleg movie? The same people who are buying bootleg movies are probably watching those movies in their new construction homes with a 2007 vehicle parked in the garage. Yet, cannot afford a $7 (matinee price in suburban Detroit) movie ticket.
#43 not with a double degree in Law and Psychology. I think not. Just b/c someone watches a movie on bootleg doesn’t mean we can not afford it. You are thinking to deep on this post. It is not that serious. As a matter of fact I seen it at the barber shop while my juvenile client was getting a hair cut. I am a Federal Juvenile Counselor. Didn’t your mama teach you not to jump to conclusions b/c more than likely you will be wrong??? lmho….some people!
I thought the movie was alright. I did prefer the doc. on BET better though. But nevertheless, the movie depicted most of the story.
What happened to Frank Lucas wife and child?
Denzel did his thing in this movie…it was really good. As for the real Frank Lucas, he appeared really arrogant in the BET interview they did recently. A big turn off cuz someone of that age should have gained some wisdom between now and then. I didn’t even want to see the movie after his interview…If it wasn’t for the fact that I had a date yesterday, I wouldn’t have seen it b/c I didn’t like his arrogance; it was beyond confidence.
@44…Obviously you are taking this a bit too personal since you took time out to respond. Trust me, I was taught very well by my mother.
Some people…
Alicia is looking hot!
@ 45…in the end of the movie it said that the wife went back to puerto rico and his mom went back to north carolina. I wasn’t ever sure if she had a child b/c she didn’t in the movie at least but she did look pregnant in the movie after they got married.
The movie was good but slow in alot of parts didn’t really care about the cop and his wife stuff.
OMG…Nas is sooo sexy!!! I wouldn’t mine havin a little rendevous w/him
LL lickin his sexci lips as usual!
keys luk pretti
I agree with #50
The beginning was extremely slow…
The movie was cool though.
I just came from seeing American Gangster. It was a good movie. From the way Denzel (LOOOOVE his swagger…dayum!) portrayed him, I would think that Frank Lucas was seriously bi-polar. He got 15 years for turning in over 75% of the NY Drug Enforcement Agency.
I left the movie wondering where he was and what he was doing. Frank was smart; the Feds seized over $250 mil in cash and assets…I’ll bet he had $500 mil no one new about. And I’ll bet you this day, he hates fur coats LOL!
Brandy looks good – I don’t particularly care for that outfit, but if it works for her…
NAS is the man.
I heard that Jay-Z and LL are supposed to have a freestyle battle…and that most people are thinking that LL will come out on top of that…hmmm…He looks good though for 40…
Alicia needs help from Jenny Craig. Seriously my peoples.
Did anyone see the Lynched documentary on CNN? It puts Nas album title in perspective. I love Nas and we go back like chiropractors, but I disagree with his choice of album title and his logic behind it. I am anxious to see what ultimately comes of it. AG was a pretty good movie. T.I. looked sooo young.
Shiat y’all – Pauletta don’t care bout all that…she’s got Denzel LOL!
55.Jashawn
I’m just saying, why does Alicia Keys need Jenny Craig?You got on bi-focals or something?
Who the fuck told Frank Lucas he could come outta hidding just cause the movie coming out; he could still get popped with the quickness and no regret….he better take his wheelchair riding arthritic looking ass home and catch that shit on the dvd.
I swear LL and Maxwell make me want to stalk the shit out of them for real, and i aint no stalkin chick.
Luv Brandy, hate that damn outfit; it looks homely as hell.
Nas looks like he’s in the zone.
Alicia looks pretty, but i swear, her weight is so up and down; one minute you’d swear she crashed dieted and the next she’s gained it back. it’s weird. I’m so glad the lord didn’t make me that way; i truly feel sorry for those who are constantly battling their weight so they don’t look fat, and it just seems alicia, beyonce, ashanti are thick as hell one minute (a cupcake away from big girl), then the next minute they have lost it. I truly don’t believe it’s a blessing to have their shape at all. Big jumbo legs and thighs; hellz no. It looks cute on some people (when it’s controlled) but i would seriously be depressed if i had to deal with that.
1. Frank Lucas’s wife served time as well (ref: http://www.accessatlanta..../11/02/gangster_1103.html)
2. Franks daughter, Francine, went to live with her maternal grandparents in puerto Rico at the age of 6 (ref: above link)
3. Frank suffers from severe arthritis which is why he is stricken to a wheel chair (ref: Jet magazine 11/05/07)
4. I saw the movie, I left wondering, could Frank Lucas be a major contributor to the impoverished lives of african-americans who lived in harlem/new york during and after that time period. I believe Frank should still be behind bars until the day he dies; I don’t care how many people he turned over to state’s evidence
