Zulay Henao is so pretty. Colombia represent
I’m glad she’s getting some exposure in Hollywood; she’s also starring in Jennifer Lopez’s film Feel the Noise about reggaeton and stuff like that. I want to see more Latina actresses in Hollywood.
I swear if I could look like anybody in the world, I would look like Vanessa Williams. That woman is eternally gorgeous!

I am just doing a dance over here, because Aretha FINALLY wore a dress that covers EVERYTHING, and she is BEAUTIFUL!!!! (*frantically clapping hands, eyes welling with tears*)……..
Yolanda is SMOKIN’!!!!
We all know that Vanessa Williams is a beauty…………
Who in da heck wants to see all of Diana Ross’ kids?!? LOL They look nice, though.
Everyone else looks nice, although Aretha’s fiancee looks mad for some reason……

I see y’all dissing Aretha’s dress, but y’all have to admit…..you’d rather see her covered up, instead of her “girls” all exposed and hanging out, right? LOL

Umm.. Aretha… Her dress looks like the curtains Darra wore on Charm School!.. then Aretha gon pull down the drapes from the bedroom to hang over her arms?? no ma’am..
Ciara? looks …. pale? I dunno. And I don’t like her hair.. makes her head look big.
but HMMM.. I was the one to say that Ciara had on a push up bra at her bday party, but this looks like it is SO not the case.. I don’t know when she had time to get something done to her breasts, but i’m puzzled on this one??

The dress that Terrance Howards girl has on is the same green dress that Beyonce had on at the awards. who rocked it better

Aretha does look better - no feathers, and she is covered up…. but does she have to have the entire set of draperies as her gown? Even her fiance is looking like - what in the world — although she could be saying the same thing to him.
Very nice looking family. and the oldest son is really handsome, but Tracee looks older than Diana.
Ciara has definitely “evolved” this past year or so… she is a beautiful and talented young sister.

because these surgeries don’t have the same recovery times…she could have had the ones that go in at the nipple (the scars of which, you’d obviously never see)…plastic surgery is so advanced now, you really can’t say who’s had it..Ashlee Simpson’s nose job was a nonsurgical job…meaning, no cuts…imagine that and it’s the best nose job of this generation. The little girl from High School Musical, the Tisdale girl just got a nose job… People aren’t getting butchered anymore…all plastic surgery doesn’t leave you gnarled and scarred like Lil Kim.
I’m telling yall Beyonce is getting it on a regular basis…I think she’s getting mesotherapy, the injections that amount to liposuction and body contouring…it’s just an invisible prick with a needle and voila!!! check the picture I posted in the “Movie’s Rock” topic.

UGH….Aretha looks nasty with her three chins….It is not sexy to be unhealthy…I dont care how muh Black people try to make it ok to be “thick”…she is a fat pig.
Her dress is fab though.
Everybody else looks great, esp the men…Terrance Howard, Robert Dinero, and Ms. Ross’s sons all look yummy.

Ciara looks like a man and has definitely NOT “evolved” and has no talent.
Jordin Sparks is a fat ass. She needs to lose some weight before she balloons into the Michelin Man.

Word Robert Dinero has jungle fever! I’m loving it…I Love Tracey’s dress but she looks like she needs a bra…regardless she looks nice and Diana’s son (not Evan) is a hottie!
Everyone looks fab..including Ms Aretha…gotta give it to the woman in a world of plastic surgery, she has chosen to be the woman she is..can’t say the same for Miss Diana and Vanessa Williams!

@XXXRATED
Who is Carlissia? And why do you think someone has to be the same person in order not to like Ciara? Ciara’s music is a waste of vinyl, and not everyone has to like her.
You better calm down or your ass is soon to get BANNED!

I know that of Diana Ross’s kids got her eyes but why must Chudney look like some kinda cracked out owl or sumthing. Tracee’s eyes are big too but she’s pretty. Evan still looks gay to me but Rhonda is the prettiest one. Congrats to Diana but she needs a new stylist
Everyone else besides Vanessa n Terrence looks messy. Jordin looks decent I wish she come out with some better songs though

Ciara is looking so extremely beautiful .You guys should post more of the pics with her in doing different poses. She looked great last night. She has finally stepped it up.Now if only she would go back to the black hair. Then she would be perfection.

I’m not too fond of Ciara’s hair. What’s up with Diana’s Rainbow Brite choker? All of her daughters’ eyes seem to bubble/pop out like their suprised about something. TMZ was clowning Aretha’s Lemon Lime Sprite Curtain Dress. She looks like Ursula from the Little Mermaid.

Ciara looks very Pretty, just not feeling the shoes.
Love Robert Dinero and his wife Grace.
Yolanda Adams is such a Beauty
Love Vanessa Wiliiams.
Aretha needs to wear proper clothing to fit her body, NOT THAT!!!
Love Terrance Howard, Ms. Zulay Henao has Sexy Curves.

Isn’t Terrance Howard a half breed? If he is, doesn’t that mean he’s dating INSIDE his race - one of them anyway?
And it’s nothing new anyway, his wife was White.

Diana Ross looks good! Diva Extrodinaire! As for her children…well Chudney always looks out of place and lost, she is so funny looking. Evan reminds me of Micheal Jackson. Barry Gordy’s daughter look good (she’s had her off moments, but has it together in the above pic). and of couse Tracey aleays looks great (well usually).
Aretha looks like a hot ass mess! Luv her to death but she is a hot mess!
Ciara looks cute, something about her is different though, can’t put my finger on it, but she looks good.
Yolanda Adams looks good as usual (I’m dying to know who does her hair, because it is always on point).
Grace (Deniro’s wife) looks good, but I heard she is a mean bitch! Just what I heard it could be a lie, but she looks good, at first glance she looks like Phylicia Rashaad.

Aretha Franklin, is wearing my front room curtains.
Ciara, is dressed for the VIBE awards.
Diana looks younger than Tracee.
On top of “Old Smokey” Robinson.
Robert DeNiro went Black…….and can’t get back.
And visa versa for Terrance howard’s happy ass

Oh and the chick Terrence Howard is with has on that same tight ass dress Beyonce had on in an earlier post in green. I guess that’s just the look of the dress cause I thought Beyonce’s was just too tight…it looked like she couldn’t breath, and this chick looks the same so…I hope this is the last chick that I’ll see wearing this ugly ass dress!

Not taking anything away from the Legendary status that Aretha Franklin has but she really needs a stylist! I can’t remember the last time I saw her in something appropriate for her size, skin tone etc. This is just too much! I love her still…
Yolonda Adams is a beautiful woman and looks stunning.
Tracee Ellis Ross is extremely fashionable she always looks elegant and sophisticated and age appropriate, she is a fashion template for women in their 30’s.
As for Ciara and her “evolution”…. obvious boob job lol I ain’t mad at her, but it would be foolish to deny that it wasn;t done. I know lots of women who get them done and trust you can get them done and be back out and about in week! At least she didn’t go overboard w/ the size and she went the small subtle way that way it wouldn’t be too obvious. I’m just sayin…

Dang, I didn’t even recognize Ciara…I was wondering who that was. I wouldn’t have known it was her if I didn’t click on the pic. She looks good though. Her skin is absolutely flawless.
Aretha…she needs to lose some major weight, but she does look better, I’ll give her that.
Vanessa looks nice, as always.
Tracee is aging…but she still looks nice. That girl has a booty for days…

You can tell who has never seen pics or the show…as far as the Kennedy Center Honors go (jokes on the rainbow colored addition)…I mean…Smokey Robinson has on one…
Duplicate comments on Terrence’s date and Bey havin the same dress…ya ya ya..blah blah blah
I was like “what?!!!” when I found out Deniro’s wife was black…that’s what’s up!!! (years ago) She’s pretty.
Oh, yes, I concur….I am thoroughly upset with Miss Franklin’s attire…now, some months ago she claimed to be on a diet so she can slim down to fit into her wedding dress…then I read a week or so ago about her eating on fast food cause it’s too hard for her to eat right…so….she can’t afford a cook? It’s too hard to eat a salad and walk instead of driving 2 feet to the front door…come on now, living legend….

Ciara looks like a man with those big ass feet and people can dislike her all they want, this ain’t no communist country.
She can’t sing, she can’t write music, she can’t produce. So what is her talent exactly? Attending events and galas seems to be her only talent these days huh?
