Sanaa Lathan, Sean “Diddy” Combs, and Audra McDonald laugh it up at the Sundance premiere of ‘A Raisin in The Sun’. The movie was selected last year to be screened (out of competition) at the event and it was the first time that a broadcast network film was featured at the celebrated festival.

Puiffs mom is a HOT MESS.
I AM SORRY, I do not know who is worst Ms. Combs or Sister Patterson.
I am for real, the blond wigs and contacts. OMG, can someone send her to BLACK PRIDE OF AMERICA, because I think she lost her way.
U ARE BLACK, not comblasian, like Tiger I AM NOT BLACK Woods, both of you need a WAKE UP CALL.
the one has spoken, now shut the BACK Door…

Diddy ala Puffy or aka Sean John or whatever he wants to be called these days needs to stop worrying about his name and get him Mom’s a stylist. I mean GOODNITE. He claims to be all of that and his mama always looks a hot GHETTO mess.
I love Sanaa….everyone else looks good……..even Diddy

Everyone looks great except (of course) P. Diddy’s mom. She must have done something horrible to him as a child for him to let her leave the house like that.

Janice Comns is wrong on sooo many levels. She is a nice looking woman but it seems she looks in her closet in the morning and says, “what is going to make me look tacky, old and cheap?” Great! That is what I am going to put on. Eveyone else looks very nice.

I am so proud of them for remaking this movie and putting it on a major network tv…we never get to see authentic movies about black culture anymore.
..and, hate him or love him, Diddy is constantly raising the Bar when it comes to hip hop artists engaging in other mediums other than music. He has received countless accolades and is weel respected in the Fashion industry, starred in an Oscar nominated movie, of course singlehandledly created the Ghetto -Fabulous hip hop culture, produces one of MTV’s most popular shows..Making the Band, and is is a household name pretty much internationally!! He is truly a universal player in the entertainment industry
I just wish he would just help Mama Combs out a bit, because she look a hot one….Is that a spandex/lycra jumpsuit she got on?? Cause I swear I can see a cameltoe…lol!!!

You can’t tell Diddy’s mom she ain’t the shit….
The lady on the far left in the first picture (too lazy to scroll up to look at name) looks a little Mc Lyte-ish…

How is it possible for this man (diddy) to be so critical about the way his artists (if thats what you call them) sing, dance and present themselves but then he let this MONSTROSITY of a woman the house looking effed up? Mama Combs needs a real friend in her life cuz its obvious her friends or her SON will tell her the horrific truth about her looks

Phylicia Rashad is aging very well, she still looks good.
What the hell is Diddy’s mom wearing? She just don’t give a damn.

Puffy’s mother needs an intervention STAT! I’m so tired of seeing her look like a clown-but she always looks a mess! And the thing is,she more than likely takes time to put her assembles together. I’m sure that’s not the look she going for(tacky)but that what she looks like. Oh, if you happen to read this thread Puffy….oh well! It is what is-maybe Misa can help her out.
I can’t wait to see the movie…..

I am going to put Diddy’s Mom on the prayer list at my church. Does she really think she is cute in that get up. Come on Diddy, don’t you check your Mom before she leaves the hotel room. I mean it is bad enough that the wig looks cheap and played out, but the spandex catsuit just adds to the horror that is Janice Combs. Diddy needs to do better. he shops and Neiman Marcus and she shops at DOTS…why? anyway everyone else looks good.

Why does “Sean John” keep letting his momma come out the house looking like that. That is totally unexeptable. I know they’re rich but that’s no damn excuse. And she needs to take of them ugly ass wigs. Goodness.

Still Tragic

I am glad to see Diddy trying to do a poignant role, but its hard for me to imagine him in a role previously played by great veteran actor Sidney Poitier.
But like I said it was a nice move. Maybe it will broaden his horizons more.

UM...I GUESS

I had the oportunity to see this play when it premiered in NY I thought all the actors were good but the play itself is just depressing. I am sure everyone will see it because of P Diddies status. I warn you a head of time drink lots of coffe you will need it to stay awake. For the super sensitive bring tissues.

I guess foolishness prevails at any age because Sean’s mother looks a mess….And I’m blaming this ish 50% on Puffy because there is no way in hell I will ever let my mom out the house looking like she does even if she insisted….I swear these celebs are so self centered and only care about themselves because he obviously didn’t give a damn about how him Mom’s looked.
Mrs. Rashaad looks amazing…I can’t believe she’s aging so well and it’s looks so natural…You can tell she haven’t had any work done and she still looks good and skin is still glowing…Love her…

Anybody remember that rumor about Diddy’s mom liking younger men and messing with a young up and coming rapper… Remember? They said the dude was taking her for all she’s worth and Diddy found out about it and was pissed? I don’t know if that’s true…but it sounds ridiculous enough to be true of Mama Combs.
44.
Such Magnificence
Thursday, January 24, 2008 /
Lol @ #41…truestory.
Why must Mama Combs ALWAYS look the fool? She dresses sooo damn gawdy and who is wearing long blond weave anymore? Only rock blonde if you got a bob cut or something like that…damn Diddy got too much money for her to look like this.

Puff’s Mom has been a Hot mess for over a decade now lol I bet Janice thinks she’s the hottest thing walking too lol Puff is a hot mess in his own right too, so it’s only right his momma would look like that.
Sanaa looks nice. Phylicia has aged so beautifully. It must be good genes b/c her sister Debbie still looks good too.

I PRAYED…that when I enlarged the picture of diddy and his mom that my eyes were playing tricks on me. I said “I know this woman is not wearing a cat suit” I just cant believe it. The sad part is she has too many humps, lumps and bumps in the WRONG places for that outfit. If she had the body I would be giving her props but umh!! she doesnt. OMG and those shoes honey. I cant say anymore
DIDDY get yo MAMA!! she is a hot ghetto mess
