Robin you are a very beautiful person, stay true to you. Mary you paid for you wear it. Peta need to be sued so they love animals what gives them the right to damage anyones property,say what you want freedom of speech. But they have no right to touch anyone or there property. Terrence.

    @112 Hateful Black Women
    Nepotism -It is favoritism shown by somebody in power, to relatives and friends, especially in appointing them to good positions.

    And who is being negative? I’m stating a fact. If it weren’t for their fathers name and their uncles business it would have taken them years to get into anyones office.
    It is a Dynasty meaning no matter how talented someone else is, how hard they work, they could have more credentials, skills and degrees they could always be bumped by a Simmons family member. It is still an act of nepotism.

  9. MAI03

    Raven, Gabby, Mary & Jurnee all look beautiful

    I guess Terrance learned the hard way that perm & salt water dont mix and had to cut it all off! lol!

  10. cdnyc

    @103:”Mr. T Howard’s suit looks like something my Pastor would wear. As a matter of fact, I think he had something exactly like this but black last sunday… ”

    Ok, why did I think the same thing about that suit. I really do think my Pastor has a suit like that. LOLOLOL!!!

  11. Angels' A Hater

    Angel arent u the fat somebody that was wearing a aluminum foil dress with a dry ass-long bang to boot….? so why are trying to come for Gabrielle Union when she is only telling the truth about you and the many other “black”, “urban”, or “ghetto” blog sites? You all are catty and vindictive…. Get over it and keep it moving…. stop making remarks about her cause you look bitter and petty and your a fucking mess to top it off… Goes to show you that you perpetuate the sterotypes about black women tearing down other MORE successful black women, step your game up and stop hating, you loser ass no life having, let me sit behind a computer and throw dirt on someones name, lil ass girl… You apparently have no class and you act as if you deign to post stuff about her, which is a lie, you like the drama and you like that you can say certain things about people and they cant say anything back….

  12. Jameslyn

    Journee!!!!! I remember her with Megan Goode in Eve’s Bayou….

    Terrence….say what you want but that dude stay flyiiiiiiii

    Mary J…..those boots are FIERCE!!!!!!

    Raven…..grown, sexy and still a great role model!!!! Her momma need to write a book

    Holly….love the necklace with the kid’s pics in it….

    Vanessa and Angela…..hey-da-det

  13. Too-Life

    Raven looked maaaad good in Dr. Dolittle 2, body and everything. Ever since then…she gained weight

    …she still has a pretty face tho.

  14. RUBYGIRL

    I love it that Raven and Jurnee are two positive young women, but ummmm Raven is not cute (and she needs to lose some weight) Yea Jurnee looks a whole lot better then how she looked when she was younger (cause she was a ugly kid) but she’s not pretty(and we all know why yall praising her the way yall do but whatever) she looks like Tisha Campbell. Holly looks okay, Mary looks uncomfortable as usual, Jay-Z looks a hot mess(I still love his swagger), I guess when Beyonce is sitting/standing next to him she makes him look better. Angela & Vanessa Simmons are two girls that I admire, I feel they carry themselves very well and they are very ambitious (kudos to them), Gabrielle looks lovely without makeup and Terrence Howard looks nice too ( I love his calm and smooth personality)

  15. Jurnee is gorg!!! But it’s not so surprising– she was always a cute kid. Dammit if she don’t look EXACTLY the same *minus the body lol*

    dueces :)

  16. Hey It's Me :-)

    1. Does anyone else remember that show with the Smollets from back in the 80′s? It was the whole Smollet family. They were supposedly oprhaned and were trying to support themselves. I think Jurnee was the baby at the time. Anyway, it was cancelled after a short time. They all look JUST ALIKE!!!!!!

    2. About this “black bloggers” thing. Do we have PROOF that EVERYONE who posts on blog sites run by blacks are really even black????? We just assume. You know what they say about ASSuming. (make an ASS of U and ME) – i know that was corny but it’s true.

  17. I agree with Gabrielle Union in respect to her comments on the media. If we cannot feel the passion in what she says and understand or make sense of what she is saying then we are lost. The black media and bloggers need to be outstanding and respectfull in what they do and particularly in what they say about fellow African Americans in the entertainment industry. I recall the comments about Sanaa Lathan’s pregnancy, a blatant lie, yet I have seen no retractions. You guys did the damage and have taken no responsibility for your actions. WAKE UP…

  18. cdnyc

    I’ve been reading the comments about Gabrielle Union and how she feels the black blogs are too negative. And she made the comment about them not “checking facts” and it’s not responsible journalism, etc.

    No offense, but when I think about journalists or “responsible” journalism, I do not think about these celebrity blogs. I think about The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The LA Times or the Chicago Tribune. The people that write for those publications are professional and experienced JOURNALISTS. ANYBODY can start a blog. You can get a crackhead off the street to start a blog. (no offense CL)

    I think Gabrielle may be expecting too much of these blogs. I know her main complaint is about the comments made and they can get pretty harsh. But unfortunately, when you have a place where people can anonymously comment about people and things, you are bound to get some negative ones. And sometimes they are not so much negative as they are brutally honest opinions.

    I am sorry that the comments hurt Gaby’s feelings but unless they are hurting her career…she is going to have to develop thicker skin and keep it moving. I’m sure she has heard harsher things from people in the industry (black and white) and she’s had to deal with it.

    But for the record, Gaby if you read this site: I think you’re fantastic. You’re a talented, intelligent, beautiful woman with too many goals to accomplish to get emotionally bogged down with what people may or may not say about you on some blog. Keep it moving sister. Keep doing you.

    I REMEMBER THE SHOW. THEIR PARENTS WERE KILLED OFF AND THE OLDER SIBLINGS WERE CARING FOR THE YOUNGER ONES. YES, THEY ALL DO LOOK ALIKE. THE LITTLE BROTHER PLAYED ALONG SIDE JURNEE IN “EVE’S BAYOU.”

  20. Hey It's Me :-)

    @139

    YES! Now I know I’m not crazy. LOL!

  21. SEABREEZE (M.I.A)

    GABBY, I am your fan. You are a beautiful talented BLACK woman that gets props from me anyday.

    I think overall what Gabby was saying, is that yea people are going to talk, but it hurts even more when it’s your OWN. Some of yall comments about her…I would’ve sworn she spit on you! It’s not that serious.

    And Gabby your skin is glowing. Great skin!

    Mary, If PETA splash yo azz with red paint I’d be the first one to laugh! Not to say I don’t wear leather, but fur…if you see what happens to those animals, it’s absolutely horrendous.

  22. CHRISTELLE

    here we go again, because we are black, we should think that anything that a black man or woman is doing is good. I don’t think that is how a society can progress. To progress, we have to challeneg every time. Gabrielle is not to me a oscar actress period. i actually think she is like a nice looking girl that got some role because of her face (Halle berry also i agree however, Halle show that she can plays different roles when she is not always the sexy mama). I don;t realy care about, Gabby, I just don’t understand why we should suppoert people like Gabby when some of you don’t even help our grandma that are carrying heavy bags on the street. I see that yesterday, she was so old and they was nobody to help her. So whay cannot we support talent, intelligence also and not only BEAUTY. The way we choose people to represent us, is the way people are going to see us so basically, I don’t know what else to say. AND TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE TALKING ABOUT ALL THE CLICHE, THAT IS NOT TRUE BECAUSE i AM BALCK AND I DON’T DO ALL THIS STUFF LOL. CLICHE AGAIN, JUST LIKE A WHITE PEOPLE WOULD DESCRIBE US SO SAD!!
    And to conclude, even white people criticze their folks, it is just how society is supposed to be, we are not some kind of lambs that think the same way ?? The last time i checked, we are not living a a dictatorial country?!

  23. anole

    I don’t know who Gabby is supposed to be that nobody is supposed to talk about her. The blogs main stock in trade is calling everybody out on cheatin’,so it ain’t even like anyone is focused on her. Everybody get’s dogged non-stop, around the clock, people hating every which way. But she the only one crying about it.Like she and you think the blogs are gonna’ stop writin’ bout her dumb ass just cause she says she doesn’t llike it. Oh yeah, that’s sure to work. That sh1t is laughable.

    Jurnee is beautiful? Yeah. Now would you still be raving about her if she had the same face but several shades darker? Yeah I know.

    The Simmons sisters are talented? Be real people. You know damn well there are millions of people with infinitely more real talent and more capacity for honest hard work who will never have any success because they don’t have a famous father. So please stop with the praise of their non-existant talent because that is insulting to millions of truly talented, hard working people who have put in years of study and sacrifice trying to bring their dreams to fruition but never will. Call them lucky if you want to, but their success is based on nothing more than an accident of birth and I don’t see how that is deserving of any praise.

    I hope when Raven is suffering from diabetes, stroke, hypertension, heart disease, and all the other ailments that black people suffer from in higher numbers, I hope yall will remember how you praised her looks instead of warning her of the need to start an exercise/weight loss program.

  24. Fall Back Black Bloggers

    I really need for these gossip sites to fall back off of Gabby. She is a classy woman that represents black women. How are you going to hate on her when we got New yorks and Superheads out here. All she did was tell the truth about black gossip sites you are the ones tearing them down when you should be supporting them.

  25. Marysfan

    MARY STAY KILLIN IT WIT THA COATS!

  28. tia

    wow it is sooo the simmon sisters fault they were born into a good life…how dare they……smh get over it people,and they are talented enough because they designed those shoes alone…….angela is doin the magazine thing because of her father yeah…but you better believe her father is not running her magazine she is….and vanessa is a model and a actress on a soap opera for God sakes…ya’ll act like she won a oscar….yes they are priveledged but it takes talent to continue to do what your doing…and nobody in their right mind is gonna let those girls continue to do what they do if they were some fuck ups!!! shit their own uncle stay yellin at them and blazin them…..it is what it is,its not their fault that their father got connections…wish mine did.

  29. Harlem Mami

    EVERYBODY looks great! And the reason why Jay wears BAPES so much is because he has a stake with the company! And Pharrell is a good friend of his so why not? Anyway I am loving the tattoo idea.

  30. Whoa! That close up of Raven is scary..She’s a beautiful girl,but she looks like a PIGEON in that pic..talk about a bad pic day.

    I love Jurnee. So cute! BUT ONE ? CAN U EAT SUMMORE.

    Jay,Angela& Vanessa….NO COMMENT

    Terrance Howard…..SUCH A WASTE OF A FINE BLACK MAN. PLEASE IF HE WOULD ONLY GET A WHIFF OF MY BROWN SUGA..CHOCOLATE THUNDA.. ~LOL~

  31. yabaybgurl

    @ # 15 she was on full house she was michelle tanners friend her name on the show was denise shes grown up to become a beautiful woman wow that show has made alot of stars

  32. Gem

    To all of you who thought my comments were harsh and senseless…I don’t care. Sorry, but I don’t. Of course I could have been more tactful, but that wouldn’t get me far when making anonymous, automatic comments on some blog. I don’t find Gabrielle to be a great actress and I think she’s lying: she isn’t mad because people talk about her stealing men and serial-dating, she is mad because people talk about other people stealing men, serial-dating AND OTHER THINGS. I think she expects MORE: dogging and praise and more dogging and more praise and more dogging, too. Like Beyonce or somebody. GASP lol I really do.

    Anyway…she’s wrong…read these posts and see how many people seem genuinely proud of Jurnee. Black people support each other but we have sensibilities too, ya know…

  33. Tealeaf

    Raven looks nice, I hope Jurnee has a long career, I like the Simmons sisters they seem Level headed..T.Howard has on a nice suit, but I still don’t like him.

  34. mrmarcus08

    Raven needs a target weight loss…can you say celebrity fit club?

  35. Jurnee is a bonafied STUNNER!!!

    Terrence, get a got damn edge up nukka!

  36. Gotta_live_life

    Jurnee Smollett is so pretty
    Terrence Howard is fine
    Everyone looks good

  37. me

    Angel, I think you will soon be vindicated for her comments. She shouldn’t trash all black blogs and put them in the same category. Puff is a fan, Kanye, and a bunch of other celebs, and not to mention all of us that see your site as being pretty credible/responsible.

  38. PLEASE!!!

    Slikkbak Ivanhoe finally CUT THAT HAIR!!!! YAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY! LOL

  39. FLATBUSH

    The Smollett show you guys were talking about was called On Our Own (in the 90s)
    HERE IS THE TRAILER
    http://www.youtube.com/wa...BHook&feature=related

  40. FLATBUSH

    FUCK all of yall Gabrielle Union is the shit!!!!!!!!!!

  41. ddmack

    gem, ur right. union goes to an exclusive, private pharmacy here in los angeles where she buys the most potant skin bleaching cream you can buy at $1500+ a tube every month- thats an inside scoop

  42. CheyenneLenoire

    Beyonce and Jay z are the most beautiful couple I have ever seen. gorgeous. Raven. I cannot wait for that movie she is in with Martin Lawrence. Alicia Keys??? I wonder about her?? first she is tomboy sheek now she all glam. and that is not her REAL hair yall. can we say weave. Why dont sister just flaunt their real hair. I was blessed with long thick naturally sandy blond hair and in my 24 yrs never seen a track or weave, get it together sisters.

  43. oooh nasty

    At least you admit if it werent for their family they wouldnt be nowhere. And thats where my whole statement was directed.

    They aint stepping on my toes or taking my money, until they start writing books it don’t make me no nevermind what they do and they aint messing with my money. The effed up thing is that if one of them were to delve into writing and come out with something people would most likely buy their stuff before they bought mine becuz of their fame/name. What I am still saying, just because they have a name/fame that they were born into don’t make them more talented than the next man. It makes them lucky. Period. Just stating facts.

  44. oooh nasty

    That was directed at Tia #148

  45. mary gets on my nerves..she always seems unhappy..very nonchalant about everything…ugh!! and i wish she would get over her damn past…i thought u had a breakthrough…get over it…kci beat ya ass, u were on drugs, u hated yourself…blah blah blah…
    _____________________________________________________________________

    Mayne this is exactly how i feel about Mary. Do i dig some of her music? Definately. Do i think Mary is one of the most whiny, wailing, angry FOR NO REASON, bitter,insecure, miserable shrews that ever stepped in front of the mike? Mos def.
    Honestly Mary should be the poster child to all little black girls on how not to live you life.

    Raven’s been chubby but cute for a while. She looks very beautiful here.

    I am so holding my tongue about *that* Gabby person!

    I HEART Holly! Wish she had more tv/film roles. Yay Holly!! lol :D

  46. Nicole

    Raven looks big & nice.

    Mary looks nice but the boots are doing to much they look like leather cast.

    Jurnee grew up to be pretty.

    I think Gabrielle and Terrance should hook up.

  47. Tayda

    at tyra #17 juss a hater hatin on mary thats yo opinion keep it 2 ya self wat if u was on drugs and some dude beat yo ass that shit aint even much cool dawg 4real and mary dont care bout da haters shit bump u 2

  48. say2

    Did Gabby bleach her skin? It seems like she is gettin’ lighter, I remember she use to be closer to chocolate and now she’s getting closer to brown skinned. I like Mary but since she has string features, she looks better w/o makeup. Angela n’ Vanessa are not pretty to me, and they got what they got because of their Daddy’s name. it is what is. Holly look, um happy. Raven looks like a bird or dinosaur in the face but I RESPECT her hustle; no booty shaking or rumors of her giving ‘favors’ to get ahead. She is gettin’ big but if she likes it, then I love it. lol

  49. say2

    Oh and Journee is not pretty to me either, no hate, but she looks like a sweet girl.

  50. halcyonc

    @TANYA…Mary doesn’t copy anyone’s style because she actually has her own. People like your precious Beyonce wait to see what Mary’as doing. You may not like her or her singing,but that chic always looks fly.

  51. halcyonc

    I must be the only one who doesn’t think Jurnee isn’t all that attractive. Plus,I hate chicken legs just as much as tree trunk legs.

  52. CheyenneLenoire

    who in the Hell is arching raven’s eyebrown can we say FIRED

  53. PROFESSIONAL ME

    FOR THOSE NEGATIVE PEOPLE WITH NOHTHING NICE TO SAY ABOUT THE BEFORE MENTIONED: “MARY”, “RAVEN”…. etc.

    RELAX and GET A LIFE:

    I’d like to see at least two of you take on these ENTERTAINERS JOBS: having experienced things such as weight gain, drug abuse, domestic abuse, insecurities, etc. Manifest that all and present yourself to an ENTIRE WORLD and endure the EVIL comments like these, the press, the media. As 1 person taking that on, you have to be strong and really do what you feel is best for you.

    However you IDIOTS hide behind comments and a computer screen talking S***. WHY because those that don’t CAN’T. You only appear miserable and full of insecurities. DO you and I guarantee you you’ll find at least 2 issues that you need to work on yourself.
