Sanaa and Nia are gorgeous, though i often wonder why Nia’s eyes are always red. Is she anemic or is it weed?

How in the hell are you gonna have a release party with a bunch of corny ass lame people…and their name isn’t the Lox anymore it’s D Block.

I don’t care about the Essence post it’s no longer a Black owned magazine so I won’t read it anymore.

Sanaa’s makeup is on point.

I’m kinda likin the shot of Melinda. Her makeup is cute too.

Tia is doing the damn thing.

Nia looks like she “got right” out in the parking lot before she came in.

Da Band, where is Babs?

Gabrielle Union has always been D-List, but she’s quite F-List right about now because she seems to have never given her craft an iota of thought…She started out as a model…okay…she ventured into acting…and it seems that she isn’t smart about her art, she thinks it’s all visual…the pretty woman says her lines… she’s lame and it’s why she’s been in a series of trashcan movies…and is likely to continue on in that way…

As for the dude doing a workout tape, I think it’s a phenomenal idea…it’s probably going to have stark sexual overtones, but I think lots of women will buy it if he puts video girls in it…because people don’t seem to get that you very much can work yourself into one of those horse bodies…all you need is are weights and a steep incline.

it’s weed…I’ve seen her high several times, now that I think about it…she was high once during a promotional thing for Soul Food and she was talking about how she does hair..and I remember thinking it was cute that she looked ghetto…she’s still soooo cute, reminds me of my Aunt!

#36
Good…if Essence is no longer black owned, maybe they’ll at least try to present believable fashion in the FASHION SECTION OF THE MAGAZINE! Boy, if you read Essence, you would think black folk wore lace blouses, leather jackets, tulip skirts and little more… How about actually investing in someone with fashion savvy, as opposed to choosing, at random, the most underwhelming, drab trends from season to season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate Essence magazine…it’s airy and tacky!!!!!!!!

With so many negative images of black women being portrayed in the media (e.g. Flavor of Love), it’s nice to see young, black classy women out representing.

Everyone looks beautiful at the essence thingy! Tia — FLAWLESS.. see, a dress that abstract would look a mess on someone else, but I think she could wear a garbage bag and still MERK!

As for the “Da Band” pic.. None of those ppl are in “Da Band”.. That was the group wit Sara, Babs, Dylan and nem in it.. Diddy’s new band DON’T EVEN HAVE A NAME YET do they? I guess we waitin on that next season of “Making the Band”.. The Danity Kane members look cute.. I actually enjoy that group..

Please don’t hate on Gabrielle. She making that money and we all know that black hollywood is not as fair or has as many opportunities as white hollywood. Let’s not tear our black actresses and actors down, white hollywood is doing that enough. If you think you can do a better job at getting in hot films and staying relevant….then do it.

“Please don’t hate on Gabrielle. She making that money and we all know that black hollywood is not as fair or has as many opportunities as white hollywood.”
**********************************
I know that and SHE KNOWS THAT, so why doesn’t she MAKE THE BEST OF A BAD SITUATION? Why doesn’t she actually STUDY THE ART OF ACTING, be more than a cinematic nonpresence, a woman saying her lines in every scene? Furthermore, why doesn’t she CHOOSE HER ROLES WISELY? I’m sure she’s had the opportunity to do INDEPENDENT FILMS AND OTHER LOW BUDGET, BUT RELEVANT PROJECTS, why does she CONTINUE TO CHOOSE THESE ILLITERATE MOVIES, WHY DOES SHE CONTINUE TO CODDLE THIS IMAGE OF HERSELF AS A B-MOVIE SEX SYMBOL, CHOOSING ALWAYS AND BLATANTLY THESE LOWLY PROJECTS, COMEDIES AND LOVE STORIES, BECAUSE THEY MEET SOME NARCISSISTIC END THAT OTHER, MORE MEANINGFUL PROJECTS NEVER COULD?

“Let’s not tear our black actresses and actors down, white hollywood is doing that enough. If you think you can do a better job at getting in hot films and staying relevant….then do it.”
*********************************
I cannot and will not even pretend to feign some argument against white Hollywood tearing us down. They do. But, ultimately I’m sure we can all agree that Hollywood IS WHITE. It’s THEIR GAME, essentially AND EVEN WE EMBRACE AND ASPIRE TO EUROPEAN NOTIONS OF BEAUTY. So, it’s not really credible, arguing at this point that we’re being done wrong in Hollywood… You know the deal before you get into it, that’s why you study and try to excel (as Angela Bassett has), you try to be a quality actress (as Angela Bassett) is … I didn’t use Halle Berry as an example because she fits the European mold (although you’d be crazy to argue that she’s not leaps and bounds ahead of Gabrielle in the acting department. She is, deservedly, a superstar). I chose Angela, instead, because she is a beautiful woman, a woman apart from the vapid stereotypes, and yet she is successful because she takes her art SERIOUSLY, unlike Gabrielle. Angela is striking and serious as an actress. Look at her. There’s a lesson in Angela Bassett. You don’t become some movie mannequin, an incessant bump on a log until, of course, you bring yourself to some contrived flailing and fluttering or stoic indifference while some man-always some man-professes his wanting to do this or that with you.

Cuz they think it will make them look thin in the picture. As if Tia needs to look thinner. Go figure. I am kinda sick of seeing every body on the red carpets pose like that though.
