  7. datdude

    Damn Queen Latifah losing mad weight, soon she gonna be as slim as Monique. I hope she don’t lose her thickness. When is Queen Latifah gon be on the front of King Magazine, brothas all around been waiting to see dat ass. Hell yeah, old school dyme piece right there.
    Also i’m seeing some hitable snow bunnies roaming about, i won’t call any names, b4 CL females start catching feelings.

  8. Intrigue216

    Queen Latifah is loosing some weight, but that face still big though. Big old man face, lol. Shante does look classy for once, but she still ghetto.

    Don’t have HBO, so I can’t watch the Wire. And I can care less about some lesbian L word show.

  9. jones

    The Wire is hands-down the best show on television BIG-Up to B-More!Didn’t know Kima had two kids.I hope they fry Clay Davis shhhhhhhhit!

  10. jones

  11. Big M

    Looks like Snoop’s wife is picking her weight up again

    #11 Denzel Whitaker is not Forest Whitaker’s son – his Mom just gave him that name

    Pam Grier and that jacket…no comment

  12. SÑÖØP IS SÖ CUTÉ 2 MÉ, WHÅT IS IT?, LÖL… SÖRRY, BUT PÅM DÖÉS ÑOT LÖÖK UP 2 PÅR…ÄÑD WHÖ R DÅ RÉST ÖF DÉZÉ PPL?

  13. Jake Steed

    #8, No homo but bruh, Queen Latifah is one of a few female African American entertainers who is looked upon as being a role model because she doesn’t have to stoop to such a level to achieve success in a chauvinistic industry.

  14. I love “The Wire” and am so happy it is back. I waited all 2007 for it’s return!
    Damn Namond got FAT? Wow
    Never watched the “L word” before….

  15. lady lora

    tristen wilds is so adorable. as for Mr. McCullum lay off the twinkies plzzz

  16. e-ka

    Wow Sonja Sohn daughters are very pretty

  17. trinib

    Snoop and Shante been together since high school….and she is/was his manager…..obviously whatever they have..it’s working better than the regular Hollywood mess
    Love the L word and Elijah Kelley….
    * aside….hate movie critics…all of them…never acted a day in their life but love to critisize…..

  18. Dame

    Snoop has to bring Shante out the house since the show started. The lady in the pic with the guy with the white tie has on some bad shoes.

  19. I am probably the only black person that have not seen “The Wire” I guess I have to check it out….

  20. Snoop and bring out his wifey….. Wonder how long that will last??? I like his show it’s too funny….

    Queen looks good!

    Pam G should have done her hair differently.

  21. @20 i never seen that show either, but i am a fan of the L word. and that girl that plays tasha (rose) on the show is cute here.

  22. Ms. Maye

    Man, I’m not a lesbian, but that show, The ‘L’ Word, is on point! You know what’s odd… my boyfriend put me on to that show, lol. Why does Pam Grier look high?

  23. keishe'

    I love me some Snoop. He sooo funny.

  24. I like Shante and Snoop together, I hope they last, they’ve been in it for a while. By the way I LOOOVE the Wire and I’m glad everyone looks nice.

  25. I think Shante and Snoop are cute together. I saw 2 episodes of their reality show and I love it. High school sweethearts…how cuuuuute!

  26. WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I THOUGHT THE GUY IN THE 2ND PIC ON THE RIGHT WAS IKE TURNER FOR A MIN, I WAS LIKE WHAT THE HEYELL

    AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO DID LOVEEEE THE AMANDA SHOW???
    AMANDA PLEASE! :)

  27. Martinique_fr

    Snoop and Shante have something most of those Hollywood couples don’t have, and it works for them. Snoop is so funny on his show … I see him in a different light now.

    Amanda Bynes is cool.

  28. mstmevans

    I had never watched “the wire” before, but I watched the entire 4th season in the last two weeks and I’m hooked. Glad to see the new season is on, I’m caught up with all the current characters, but now I gotta go back to season’s 1 thru 3 to see what happened back then! Why didn’t anybody tell me this show was that good?!

  29. Allen_J

    Man I’ve watched the L word before and I was hooked when i could watch it does anyone know when it comes on now?

  30. BEAUTY SCHOOL DROP OUT

    awww look @ Mz. Shante wit her boo Snoop…i luv their show Fatherhood….Snoop is a trip and his family is beautiful….even though he wasnt faithful to her you can tell he looovvvvvvveees his wife and his fam is his world…now his other child and his mom is trying to get some fame and air Snoop’s biz…smh

  31. BEAUTY SCHOOL DROP OUT

    oh yea….and i luvv the wire the first show was tight and im sad its the last season…i hope they do a spinoff at least or something

  32. kennedi

    Oh my God! “Namond” from ‘The Wire’ done got thick as hell…WTF?????

  33. Lady Architect

    Loveeeee the wire…been watching it since season 1 and never stopped loving it…Nahmean has gained a lot of weight I see, but everyone looks great….don’t care for the Lword…not entertained by lesbians kissing in feeling on eachother…no matter how good the story line is…thats my opinion and my interest so dont gang up on me for it.

  34. D.Vida

    sonja sohn and her daughters are so pretty! i guess when you get used to seeing her dressed like a dude on the wire..that’s how you always expect her to look. that julito boy looked like he gained a lotttt of weight. is he even on this season?

  35. tia

    snoop and his wife look very classy…i like that look on them no lie…i was jus watching the show sunday night,snoop is a mess lol.

  36. Snoop’s show on E! looks very scripted and it’s boring…I’ll admit i watch it but only bc there is nothing on tv…On the episode where Snoop and Shante were at dinner and he asked her to “hussle” and get her a business venture (he used exampled of Kimora and Russell) she seemed somewhat lazy…I know that having childen is a job but it’s not like their kids are toddlers….Being a stay at home mom is nice but when your kids get to be a certain age, don’t women get tired of being at home all the time or not having anything to occupy their time besides the home life….My mind is always full of business ventures and i wish someone would just give me money to start a business (I already have one but would like to do more)…Kimora urks me most of the time but i respect her hussle…She didn’t need to work bc they have plenty of money but she took advantage of what she has to start her own (of course with the help of Russel)…

  37. tiff

    #1, That is Snoop’s wife, and they have been together since high school

  38. tia

    also maybe him having to bring her out more often will bring them even closer together who knows….i know they had some issues in their marriage before but this show could make them have a tighter bond ya dig

  39. hood_shit

    Love Tristan Wilde and Sonja Sohn. The Wire is the shit!

    WTF was Pam Grier thinkin with that coat?

  40. GEM

    I was on my way out to workout the other day and caught a glimpse of Snoop’s show…when the “honorary son” was doing that oh-so-scripted thing about telling the older son how to meet girls… Well, I saw the little girl telling and even though it was probably all scripted, it was sooo funny… So, I must admit…I was like 15 minutes late, trying to watch that show. And , I must say that Snoop and his wife interact in such a cute way but boooooyyyyyyy do I not envy her… I have seen him on TMZ footage trying to get at a girl, talking about ***… And, during the video shoot when he was calling the video “model” a “classy lady that you had to work to get at”…. COME ONNNN! Later, he was like “game” so I’m pretty sure he tried to holla at her. All in all, they’ve got gorgeous kids but that marriage…I feel sorry for her…sure she’s “#1″ and “getting the money” but that most really work on a woman’s self-esteem, maybe that’s why she’s gauche/ghetto like Keyshia Cole.

  41. KSH

    I hate The Wire is in it’s final season! The first episode was better than I expceted. If they top last season they are going out with a bang!

    DANG!

  42. KSH

    Julito Mucullum “Namond” has gotten buff since we last seen him! I didn’t know who he was at first! He is still cute!

    Michael is such a little cutey!

  43. 2_CENTS

    I like Snoop and Shante together.
    Never really watched the wire.
    Can’t wait ’til the new season of the L word.
    …are those tassles on the bottom of Pam Griers Jacket??? Don’t know how to feel about that!

  44. Ninagirl1

    I’ve been watching Snoop and his wifes reality t.v. show. Its not all of that but its def interesting. I would have never imagined Snoop to have such a nice and regular home life. Guess thats what keeps him grounded.

  45. i LOVEEEE the L word. Jennifer Beals is sooo pretty and she’s soo good on the show. gotta start watching it again :)

  46. delish01

    I didnt even recognize Namon.. I used to love that damn ponytail

  47. Tia Mia

    I straight STAN for the L word! Been a fan since I found out about it before season 1 even premiered!

    @ 30 Season 5 premiered on sunday night. It comes on Showtime at 8pm CST.

    Thanks Concreteloop for throwing the L word out there into the mix. This STAN surely does appreciate it!!!

  48. angelat704

    @ #15 Yo i was thinkin the same thing, whats really goin on

    I thought kima was gay i guess it was just her character she looks pretty on here

  49. emma v;s great-granddaughter

    Everbody looks nice.

  50. Ajah

    OMG.. I love love love Tristan Wildes! He has such a beautiful smile.
    Julito, uhm.. not so hott.

  51. Bernice

    L-Word that is my show. OMG that show is so great. I’ve never watched the Wire before. I’ve been told I need to get on it though

  52. Barrister

    Umma need Shante to get up outta though hose, though!

  53. miss brown

    @ 11
    Denzel Whitaker is not Forrest’s son. His last name just happens to be Whitaker, and his parents named him after Denzel. He did play Forrest’s son in the Great Debaters though…

  54. Too-Life

    Damn, Snoop is mad tall…

  55. Ashley

    I watched the Critics Choice Awards last night and I was so happy that the cast of “Hairspray” won for best acting ensemble. I also thought that Queen Latifah looked beautiful as always. I’ve seen a few episodes of Snoop’s reality show and I love it! It’s really sweet how Snoop interacts with his family on a daily basis. There are times when I may not agree with everything he says or his music but I love how he respects his wife and kids.

  56. lea

    PLEASE!! did anyone see DL Hughley stink up the place, with his tired ASS black jokes! everything was a racial joke. Brad and Angelina honorary black people! I mean those people dont want to hear that mess! And you wouldve thought he wouldve stopped when everytime he made a joke he was the loudest and only laughs heard! PLEASE! this guy! everytime i watch Kings of Comedy I actually skip his segment!

  57. leat

    LOVE, LOVE,LOVE the WIRE! just lost digital cable but downloaded episode 1! however Julito is kinda chubby no longer cute! sonja john isnt really homosexual!!! couple of scenes i didnt think i straight woman would do no matter the money! LOVE her though, great actress obviously!!! BEST show on TV, why stop now!?!?

  58. Allegra

    I’ve been watching the wire since it first came on R.I.P Bodie (spelling). I agree with most of the comment Snoop show is Entertaining, however his house is not up to par. For somebody who has been in the game for over 15 years he should have a better crib. Him and his wife look nice together but she might wanted to review the footage of herself, when do you stop dressing like a tinny bopper? The braids are awful as well, not flattering. Overall they are okay, why is sister lurking around as well, and what does she do in addition to being Snoop’s wife? Queen Latifah looks good, a little sick but good. I guess Jenny Craig is official!
