#34 Jackson Pollock, your comment about Jordin Sparks is wrong. You have to remember that she is 17 years old. She’s a young woman and at least she’s not dressing all wild and unappropriate.
That’s all I’m saying nothing to be upset about. She’s a kid so tone it down with the insults. I’m not into name calling so just be nice to da kids!! You gotta love da kids!

Oh, everyone looked nice and ok.
I see snuffleafugus and bigbird were on the town.I know Aretha’s back is in some serious pain. Girlfriend has got the biggest dag gon bajungas ever! Her cd is the jam though.
Robert Dinero is the man. Got him a beautiful black sista. Go on head playa!

I don’t care what anyone says, I agree that atleast Aretha has covered up those breastasis this time, even if she do look like a rainbow skittle. I think she look better in this outfit then the one where she had here ‘friends’ on display with her pearls that got lost in eternity! Look at that stance she got going on in the second pic of her..Aretha knows she fine. lol! Atleast she confident because not all woman are nomatter what shape they are. I remember she was talking about who she wanted to play her in a movie about her life and she named Halle Berry, lmfao!!! Halle could play her as what? The fetus? Don’t get me wrong I know Aretha was smaller back in the day, but her ass was never that small. Aretha stop it girl!
Yolanda, Vanessa and Ciara look great, lmao at what someone said about Ciaras feet though! I wonder what size shoe she wears.
The Ross family looks nice, but some of their eyes scare me. I mean, I think big eyes can be someones best feature, but Tracee’s and the sister in the pinks dress eyes look like cartoons. They are both pretty but could probably see what was going to happen 30 minutes ahead of time with them eyes.

aretha’s my soror and all, but let’s keep it real-she gotta do something about her weight. i’m worried she won’t make it to 2008:(
love tracee’s dress. she lookin’ old though
poor jordin. i heard her album didn’t do as well as expected. she would be a great model for colgate or even covergirl. she has a great smile!
terrance tryin’ to bring to back the conk! don’t!

It’s good to see black people recognised and acknowledged like that; and their fellow black people supporting them. We need to see more of this.
Vanessa looks ravishing. She’s one of the most beautiful women in the world.
How old is Smokey? He seems to have kept himself in good shape over the years.
Robert and wife suit each other.

1. What the hell @ Aretha. Like looking like a beached whale wasn’t bad enough. I was on her side from the jump when she was talkin’ about losing weight and ish but the woman looks one frosted donut away from the big fat farm in the sky, real talk. She needs to get it together.
2. Yolanda looks great. LOVE DeNiro!
3. Ciara looks great except for the dress imo, and yes her chest does look suspect. Killin’ the hair game though!

deniro has always dated and married women of color. big ups to deniro for being man enough to be public with his wife. many white actors married to black women are not seen in public with them.
aslong as terrence isnt with a caucazoid im good. latino.dominican panamanian. brailian. puerto rican. jewish. italian. all good just as long as she isnt blond hair blue eyed and of european decent. besides.colombian women are just as black as theafrican american woman. they love hard and will pour grits on ur ass if u piss them off before a black american woman will! haha! my sister in law is colombian. love them to death!

That is probably just what Terrence needs. He’s in for a shock.

Everyone looks lovely. Maybe it’s just me, but Ciara’s dress seems out of place for this type of event. Could see it the MTV awards, but not feeling it for the Kennedy Center Honors.

Columbian woman are not all black. They have black people over there, people coming from Africa but it is a minority. Stop your fuckin ignorance go to see how they treat black people over there!! But of course, they were some mixture but i do not consider colombian people as black just like i don’t consier all latino as black, you have indians, white, black and mixed! they are not mixed like some of you want to think!!

@20 i think terrance’s girlfriend rocks it better it’s more flattering to her thin frame, Beyonce is too thick and it’s not flattering to her voluputus frame. RERE look a hot mess and Robert DeNiro’s wife (no it’s not Phylicia Rashaad) is working that fur coat!!!!

i think ci’s dress is gorg. and the shoes sets the outfit off witht he red bottoms. hot. but i disagree about her hair. i don’t like it. it looks like one of those disney character wigs. also the makeup may be too light for her face but ci is a lighter brown tone anyway. lol at the haters. you’ve got a long way to go.
can’t wait to see ciara’s diana tribute

Kudos to the Boss, but err ummm… just a quick question?
Who does Lady Di’s makeup? Make them stop please. She needs her Lady Sings the Blues glam squad back.
Note to the Queen, lemon yellow, is not a royal color. Love you both though.
Diana’s fam is gorgeous. All those big pretty eyes. They can probably see the future.

CHRISTELLE,
You really need to study the history of other countries before you comment and curse others out. Ignorance is the death of people.
First of all, most most Colombians have African and/or Indian ancestry. That is a proven fact. I have studied the history of Latin America/Carribean for years. you need to reference the Genetics Bazaar. You also need to understand that lineage is more than Spanish slaverowners and their forced culture.

I have seen a show about the columbia of today and they are fuckin racist over there especially towards the Black (real one) community, that is why i said that. And you may have noticed than i say that there are some mixture in Columbia but i do not believe they are all african descent, they also have indian descent and europeans also (you forget it) so basically, we agree!! And again, regarding the latino american, we also agree, you have white,indians, black and some of them are mixed but not ALL. If you have ever been to Brazil, you would know that so basicall again, you are just saying the same thing as me

Vanessa’s dress is very pretty…I love the dolor and design….
And in yesterday’s post when i was referring to Will Smith not aging gracefully, but mentioned Denzel has an didn’t feel like thinking of others that i feel has…..Terrence Howard and Vanessa have aged well…Again, I’M FEELIN HER DRESS. That is cute…
Robert Deniro….I knew he liked black women but i didn’t know he was married to one…Nothing wrong with that, i see you Robert….

@127
Because she’s a slut who can only do sexual favors for men (including 50 Cent and Bow Wow). Why is it that she has to use a rapper and a football player in her videos to get people talking about them? First everyone was blabbering about her dating Reggie Bush then next everyone is talking about her dating 50 Cent…that was done to hide her lack of talent and obviously the stupidity and hype has gotten to you.

I saw some presidential program Ciara performed at with a choir to back her up. Ciara sounded terrible. Her voice was so weak, and the choir, made up of little kids, drowned her out- and they did not have microphones. Imagine a shaky, weak voice trying to amplify into a microphone- YIKES!!!!

Well, I’ll be….. Robert Deniro got a different sort of black woman this time… His last wife looked more like Samuel L. Jackson’s wife. She was a chubby, darker skinned woman, but coincidentally she dressed just as the new wife is dressed in the photo. Hmmmmmm. He was just with the old wife last year, right? What happened?
And, #90…I think Diana would want you to say only one of her kids is black (actually she didn’t even want her to be black…the girl only found out she wasn’t biracial a few years ago). Anyway, Diana got what she deserved…she’s an infamous self-hating idiot…and I’m glad every single one of her biracial kids look like weeping sores.

Blacks is the only race that discriminate against each other. You guys are no threat to white american. This is why we are not taken serious in the business world. Ciara got great review on her performance. Ciara will be nominated for an OSCAR so lift the GOODIES QUEEN not tear her down.
