  1. Queen looks great! especially her hair…

    Nas is still that dude…

    I dunno if i like the S-Curl Maxwell–but im still buying his album the second it hits the shelves though. His voice is so SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTH!!!

    Why is Tracee looking like that? lol And like another poster mentioned, her skin does look fantastic.

    Nick Cannon is the king of cornballs…Taye is in the royal court.

  2. J

    they all look great..Although Tracee should unfrown her face lol

    And everybody STOP DEGRADING GIRLFRIENDS…hands down it is the best show on television period. You say all these things but yet you still watch it…even if you haven’t “kept up with the show”…A show like Girlfriends doesn’t come very often for black culture: This 8th season means it has made it an eternity in this day in age. Instead of beating it over the cast and Mara’s head that Jill Marie Jones (which is the name of the actress that played TonI, not TonY) is gone, shut up and celebrate this show that will surely go down in history as one of the greatest Black shows ever made.

  3. “The best show on television period?” I want some of what you’re smoking. Even at it’s peak it wasn’t close to the best show on television.

    I’m not gonna sing a show’s praises just because it’s a “black” show. It sucks this year, plain and simple. They need to put it out of it’s misery and find a better companion to The Game.

  6. There’s just something about Nick Cannon that makes me wanna…

    VOMIT!

    Violently!

  7. LDYK

    King Latifa and Scary Spice must have the same make-up artist…they have similar looks! LOL

    Well you don’t know what you’re missing as far as GIRLFRIENDS goes. I have watched from day one and will be a definite supporter!

    Taye “F”iggs just makes me want to hurl!

  8. B-flygirl

    Gotta love Taye , Looking good !!!!!!! Miau’

  9. MARIA

    NAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  10. DJ Inphinity

    Latifah looks great same with Rosie…Fabulous!

  11. Nikki

    Nas is still a cutie, can’t wait to see him perform next week.

  12. the_one

    FINE AS WINE TAYE DIGGS, IF ONLY YOU CAME IN DOUBLES SO I COULD HAVE ONE TOO.

    Maxwell yeah I am ready for you to come back and make me love black male R&B singers again.

    Tracie Ellis Ross, looks like she wants to slap the taste out of the photogo’s mouth!

    the one has spoken now SHUT THE BACK DOOR!!!

  13. Taye Diggs is so fine to me…..Damn that’s 1 sexy azz man (Tide shirt and all)!! Nas has lost some weight…and LOOKS DAMN GOOD!! Maxwell looks a MESS to me with that wet jheri curl looking hair (he lost cool points with that 1) LMAO!!

    Queen Latifah’s bootz are HOT!!

    Nick who? NEXT……….Where’s Selita Ebanks LMAO

  14. jscene

    There go my two boos: Nas and Maxwell….I wish Maxwell would go back to his wild crazy hair, but he could still get it, jerry juice and all….Nas is always super laidback, probably got something to do with what he’s sipping and smoking on. lol, but no Nas, please pull your pants up…What’s with these old guys with low riding pants…but at least he’s cute and he still looks young, he might can get away with it much longer than jayz cause jayz looks ridiculous when he tries this look, i mean he looks much older.

    LOL @ Taye Diggs with his “tide” shirt on, he probably want to wash his ass white.

    Tracey Ross looks cute without makeup, the sun must have been in her eyes, and she couldn’t believe them damn photographers followed her to the grocery store.

    How did Rosie Perez stay so young looking…i mean wasn’t she on like a long time ago? She looks good.

    Queen’s hair is so pretty. For a really big girl, she sure tries to keep everything together.

  15. jscene

    Oh yeah, and i never thought Nick Cannon was corny, he’s always been fine to me..i didn’t know why people was calling him “corny.” Probably cause he didn’t do gangsta rap, beat his bitch, and he’s never seen smoking blunts and falling out drunk….whatever, stereotypes….Nick is a fine business man…he gone be making big moves in 2008. He reminds me of a younger Will Smith.

  16. Jameslyn

    Way to go Taye….giving back is always a good look….

    Maxwell…..I know celebrities are regular people too, but when yuo been M.I.A. for a minute you can’t bounce back on the scene looking tired and beat down??????WTF??

  17. Intrigue216

    Queen Latifah looks great and I like her Travlin light song.

    Nas still looking fine. Saw Nas’ daddy(Olu Dara) in Central Park(NYC) this past summer. His old self be getting down.

    I’m so mad at Nick Cannon for going back to those braids. Grow up!!!!

    Why is Tracy mugging like that?

    I don’t feel like commenting on the rest….

  18. Teezy

    I like Maxwell’s hair. He’s beautiful anyway he comes. Stop hatin people. I am waitin for that album though. hehe

    Everyone else looks good. Nas pull ya pants up!

  19. missy

    -The Queen looks GOOD!! (I wonder did her ‘girlfriend’ pick that outfit for her LOL)
    -Maxwell still looks like he is holding it together; And YES where is the album?
    -What’s wrong Tracey? (Every pic i see of her she looks angry; I guess her happiest times is when she is Joan LOL)
    -Taye – No comment
    -Nick – No comment
    (Nothing personal I just don’t care to much about either one of them) : – /

  20. MAI03

    Queen looks beautiful….

    Nas needs to pull up his pants, not a good look boo….

    Maxwell needs to hurry up and drop his new album….

    Nick Cannon looks cute with his braids, he’s always been a cutie pie to me….

    Tracy looks like she isnt in the mood for the ‘razzi’s….

    Taye Diggs…chile boo…..

  21. Monique_RealTalk

    Queen is a beautiful woman. I am loving the hair. She is just a lovely person inside and out!! Somebody said that Queen was a really big woman (it was a positive comment thought), I don’t think Queen is really big. She is plus size but to me, Monique is considered really big.

    The commercial just aired this week about 50% of the proceeds from the vintage tide shirt goes towards the campaign that helps Katrina Victims. That’s a good look. I’m loving Tate Diggs on Private Practice. He is so sexy playing Max. Love it.

  22. H-Town Chic***

    THE QUEEN HAIR LOOKS HOT!!!! SHE CARRY HERSELF VERY WELL.

    NAS COULD GET IT!!! LOL HE’S NOT THE CUTEST GUY BUT THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT HIS SWAGGER THAT’S SUCH A TURN ON; JUST LIKE MY MAN JAY-Z.

    TRACEE LOOKS GREAT! SHE HAS VERY NICE AND CLEAR SKIN. I DON’T BLAME HER FOR THAT MUG SHOT. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY CAUGHT HER EARLY IN THE MORNING GOING TO THE STORE LOL!

  23. Too-Life

    That Tide shirt is kinda hot, I’m not gonna lie. lol

  24. Phillyfashionista

    Queen Latifa is beautiful and her movie Last Holiday is too cute.

    Okay Nas, as I’ve stated before, I’m really in to the “Skateboard” aka “Thank God your clothes actually fit” look but for goodness sakes….pull your pants UP. You’re undies are ruining the look for me! Lol

    Maxwell is Sexy than a Mofo.

    I was going to mess with Tay Diggs on that outfit, but he’s contributing to a very good cause, so he gets a pass on this one.

    i agree with you mostly.
    jill been gone for over a year. you’d think people would be over it by now. i actually thought last season was one of the best. this season has been a bit boring but i still love the show. the writing is some of the best for a “Black” show. there’s depth there that has been lacking in other shows

  26. jscene

    Why are people acting somewhat shocked that Queen Latifah is joining Jenny Craig…i’m certainly not shocked…everytime i hear a fat woman claim she’s happy i know that’s a damn lie cause who would want all of that extra stuff hanging off them? Who want big thighs that rub together and make your inner thighs look like burn marks and a loaded wagon in the back full of cellulite and stretch marks? Who wants large arms, a big gutt, and shoulders like a linebacker? Who want cankles and a big neck and “wide load” hips? No one.

    All them chicks that claim they are happy for their curves just say that cause they get tired of dieting and they throw in the towel for the moment….but you will see their weight fluctuating like crazy cause they wear girdles, spanx, and are constantly dieting, and when they get tired, they are back to “accepting” themselves. And some people are meant to have a little more girth than others, but it shouldn’t be all lose, it can be nice and toned. And it don’t hurt that black men love curves, this help some big girls feel better about themselves, but i secretly i don’t believe all big girls really like the look for themselves, just keep it cause they man like it; i can understand that though, but it’s not something i would do. Some even gain weight for their man, or don’t work out cause they man feeling the extra cushion…wtf! Then later in life end up with diabetes, heart problems, knee and back problems….and where’s that man? probably off with some skinny bitch…lol

    But i’m not shocked about the Jenny Craig thing, just like i wasn’t shocked about star jones, who was constantly saying she loved herself big, and monique who is the biggest “big girl liar” of them all, whose weight is constantly up and down, but yet she “loves herself and she don’t need to change one thing”, yeah right, and just like i wasn’t shocked at tyra banks losing weight after she told people to kiss her fat ass; bitch knew she didn’t like the way she looked, if she did, she would have said that and remained the same weight instead of starving herself back down to a supposedly “acceptable” weight constantly like she does, then go back and eat a whole plate of ribs.

    I’m happy for Queen Latifah, hope she gets to her goal weight. I think this is a good look for black women. We need to pay more attention to health, along with hispanics, and indian women.

  27. FOXXX

    Nas in a shrimp in person’s he’s like 5″6, Maxwell should have keep the hair, Tae diggs has on TIDE shirt but looks very dirty, Queen looks like she’s eaten Jenny Craig. I know this is mean…but I’m a bitch today…well really i’m a bitch everyday.

    is nas really that short?

    Monique did make a statement that she loves herself big, but she understands that there are health concerns with big women. I believe her. She grew up with her parents constantly telling her how beautiful she was. They told her every chance they got that she is a princess. She knows that she is a beautiful person even if she is big, but she admits that she has a personal trainer because she is aware that big can be dangerous.

    Nothings wrong with Tyra’s weight now or then. She’s beautiful. I truly believe that Monique is happy with herself. Tyra is working on it. But she is definatley one of the most better looking celebrities. I love her style. Those pictures that were in the National Enquirer were fake. She went on TV a couple of days after that issue hit the stand with the same suit on and didn’t look like they had her looking in the magazine.

  30. Monique_RealTalk

    I could see Queen losing about 20 lbs but anything past that she’s going to look wierd. Star Jones.

  31. Christy

    At first I thought that second pic of Nas was Tracy Morgan. And “Miss Joan” looks cute without makeup, she looks alot younger. Love, love, love me some Maxwell.

  32. LAY LAY

    Nick Cannon thinks he’s so vicious….. please……

    Tracee Ellis Ross has always been my favorite character

    Taye Diggs is cute just not with that wack outfit!

  33. ytac

    Oh, MAXWELL big daddy bring it on home, sugar! I don’t know if Maxwell has any chemicals in his hair in that picture but the man does have naturally curly hair so I’ve heard. “That do’ gro’ is doing it’s thang!” No hair, hair whatever that’s MAXWELL!!! He can sing to me anyday. I’ll rub the jerry juice on his hair if he needs it.

    Nas’ looks like a mess and is for putting an album out with that title but then again, he might have some positive messages behind it…

    Hmm, I don’t see anything wrong with the way Tracee looks she’s just wondering why someone is taking a picture of her. I’ve watch a few of the episodes this season of Girlfriends the show is good. They are now focusing on all the characters including Lynn. They’ve really grown her up in some much needed areas. But Joan still has some growing to do. Mya just about lost her mind. Moncia and William are actually really funny together. And William is always the one that gets the most laughs of the entire show, always has been.

    ytac- punching and sticking

  34. FOXXX

    @89

    Yeah..actually he is, he was here at Lucky Lounge in Atlanta recently, I’ve always been a fan of his music, but seeing him in person convinced me not to find him attractive anymore, he still is like the best lyrically though.

  35. Nas, dude pull your pants up you’re in your damn 30s…..NOT COOL!

  36. jamal

    nas is my dude, cant wait for the alb..

  37. cass

  38. aquarius0124

  39. Queen looks nice. Love the hair.

    NAS. BOO. U LOOK DA FOOOL.
    U ARE TO OLD TO WEAR YOUR PANTS DOWN LIKE U DON’T HAVE SENSE.
    I KNOU WERE DRINKIN BUT DAMN!

    LET IT GO.

    Kind.

  40. JSCENE

    @90

    You just educated me because i never heard Monique admit that her weight was unhealthy; i’ve always heard i say “im just as healthy and can do anything a skinny bitch can.” But hey, i didn’t buy her book, so i could definitely be right. Sounds like her parents really gave her a good foundation as far as her image of herself.

    P.S. I didn’t say Tyra looked bad…however, i only brought her up because she’s a prime example of a woman who CLAIMED to be very happy with her size, and yet she diets all the time….she claimed it didn’t bother her that some people called her fat, and went on tv and said “kiss my fat ass i’m not fat,” and then promptly went on a diet….also, i dont believe her photos were retouched, i believe that was her actual weight…you said she went on tv later with the same swimsuit on and she didn’t look that big…um keep in mind that came weeks later after people were taunting her about that photo that she went on live tv with the actual swimsuit on, were in that time, models know how to lose weight fast (it’s nothing to lose 20 lbs in a few weeks if you know what to do – models have unlimited resources in this field, and they starve themselves, get colonics that can rid you of a bunch of weight, go on liquid diets, trust, she made some adjustments before putting that swimsuit back on….She should feel good about herself, i think that’s a good thing, but having contradictory behaviors, saying one thing and doing another is just a plain lie…my mother always says, watch what people do, instead of what they say, cause what they say is what they want to be, but what they do is who they actually are…

  41. I Luv GB

    Queen’s makeup & hair look fab. Big fan of Maxwell. Girlfriends has not been good this season. I tried to watch it for the fashion, but that has not been that good either. Still dig tracee anyway, she’s fly most of the time. Luv Nas, my fav rapper lookin sexy and fly wearin that Dsquared. He does need to pull his pants up, lol, but still looks good. Thats a real dude, they hard to find these days.

    That episode was wierd to me because she was crying and she said “Kiss my fat ass!” I forgot if she said if the pictures were doctored or not.

    I think Monique stated those comments on one of the BET awards shows she hosted. I haven’t read her book either. I like her, but I can’t relate enough to read the book.

  43. gdlywoman

    Queen, you are absolutely LOVELY!!!

    Yeah, Max, where’s the album?!?

    Love Taye’s “worn” jeans……tres chic!

  44. Temptation

    woooo nas don’t care bout anyone else…lol
