Chris Brown and Rihanna smile for the camera during Clive Davis’ Pre-Grammy party on Saturday in Beverly Hills. The party included special performances by: Alicia Keys, Fantasia, Akon & Wycelf and Leona Lewis (who was Clive’s special guest for the night). Check out who sat with who and what not behind the scenes at the party.
FANTASIA REHEARSES HER PERFORMANCE
Fantasia rehearses for the Clive Davis Pre Grammy Party where she sings “I’m Here”. Talks about her new hairdo too.
ciara iz successful dunno wat she gotta do wit this nwayz
lil mama steppin her game up, everybody looks good really
why are so many black ppl so obsessed with the whole “she looks too skinny go eat something” phrase? riri is not anorexic looking. not everyone wants to be heavyset /chubby/”thick” (i put thick in quotes b/c ppl who are indeed chubby keep calling themselves thick and misuse the word) so stop acting like the girl even wants to be that.
anyway i’m not feeling her look. usually i like her stylist’s work but it seems like her stylist doesn’t have a real style. she’s just random nowadays. if riri was a hippie chick or a vintage type chick then i’d understand but to go from glam punk to dominatrix to sophisticated to hippie/vintage in a couple of months is just strange. that’s also why i still don’t believe that this is who she truly is.
sanaa is just beautiful.
lil’ mama FOR THE FIRST TIME looks good. i’m very surprised. she should do this feminine look more often
steph jones is not cute to me sorry
whitney used to be gorgeous but that crack has not been kind to her
Yall know I love ‘Tasia! Everyone looks good tho’. Black is beautiful!

Everyone looks classy. Can’t wait for the grammys.
Rihanna must of got the message the little pink curled up dick doesn’t get it done
Whitney lookinj GREAT! WHERES BIG RERE?
Rihanna looks so different these days, she looks way grown.
Chris Brown is a little cutie.
Love Alicia.
Missy’s fly.
Whitney needs to sit down.
Mario..UH..
Ashanti’s looking pretty these days.
Nelly is sexy.
Janet aint cute.
Jermain looks a hot scruffy mess.
WHERES BEE AND CiCi??
AND..Rihanna’s dress is not werkin out, someone must of lied to her behind.
And Lil’Mama looks so beautiful, and refreshed.
Solange is looking better nowadays and I like her outfit.
Fergie needs to go somewhere.
Rhianna is stunning – and she and Chris look good together.
Praise GOD Whitney is looking healthy and happy – and Wyclef is much more handsome with a short cut. Beautiful folk having a good time.

BESIDES heres the white man w/ his foot on my neck i got my blk bros and sisters trying to smoother me w/hate envy and jealousy.[ WAKE UP CALL] KEEP IT UP. see where we as blks end up because the mexicans are GAIN’N—– ON YOU. A REEEEEEE BA .
Love Fantasia, Rihanna looks weird I don’t like her for Chris Brown I think she’s a bad influence (maybe the old Rih but the new one uh no- she’s gone forever like Jay-Z said..) ASHANTI AND NELLY NEED TO HAVE A KID PLEASE
i JUST REALIZED
I JUST REALIZED the fans’ job is to make celebs make money, stay home to watch them live lavish lives and win awards, and watch them have fun- wtf thank God I try to live like a celeb lol everyone please live ur life to the fullest travel and hang out with friends as much as u financially can
LMAO the reason Rihanna look weird is cuz this is the most skin she’s shown from her forehead (fourheads) since her last album lol! I knew somethin was different
the caption for Janet and JD’s pic should be:
JD: “You ashamed of me cause I ain’t shave?”
Janet: “Jermaine sit down- you’re embarrassing me!”
JD: “Woman I’m leaving”
…lmao!
Lawwwd Mario! You are an acquired taste..I want ya!
Rih..that dress is interesting for you…
Whitney..hurry up dammit! Wouldn’t it be nice if she had a surprise performance???
Alicia..you are flawless!
No ‘Tasia that hair gots ta go…IMMEDIATELY. Its unexplainable…beyond reason and without a doubt unflattering. Dro come get ya girl…
I don’t like Rihanna’s dress…and she has never been a thick chick but Ri-Ri is looking close to pin thin lately. Ri-Ri just say NO to the Hollyweird diet…
I see Hip-Hop’s cutest couple is still holdin it down…I love Nelly and ‘Shanti together.
Whats the deal with this Leona chick? Looks like she is killin it judging by that picture. I might have to check out her Myspace and hear some tracks lol…
@70 you need to sit down somewhere. i think whitney has one of the most beautiful voices the world has ever heard but it doesn’t change the fact that she’s not the same whitney due to drug use. i don’t care which one she took, maybe it wasn’t crack but it was something. and i’ve never questioned her talents or achievements so idk why you had to list them. i also don’t know why i’m wasting my time answering back b/c i think you might be a little crazy
Lol what up wit the malcom x all da time? just b/c black people comment about artist don’t mean they are downing there own race its called freedom of speech damn people feel different and not every1 is gona like an artist b/c of there race. and 70 I love whitney God knowzz I do. still play her joints. but hell I aint loco yes mami did a lil drugs. that dosent take away from her history of music, but damn let’s be real.
dat pic or riri with crhis breezy is so funny 2 me i think its da luk on her face she kinda luks lyk she retarted just slighty lyk her mouth is froze or sumfin and he is just 2 cheesy 4 words
Alicia Keys looks much more happier with the girls than she does with the man.
Solange is a pretty girl, I don’t give a damn what you haters think……she’s hot.
Matter of fact……..everybody is looking good
Is Chris Brown old enough to drink wine?
I thought I would let anyone who wants to know that there is a party at fan-tasia.net they have her realperformance up from last night and she blew it up.
also her pics are up for tonight already!!!!
I got to get back to the video…she is a sanging fool…the one here is not her performance but rehearsal. Bye
I love Fantasia that girl is ahead of her time.
SANG, gal, SANG IT!!!!
HATE the ‘do, though.
OBAMA JUST TOOK MAINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GO BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nia’s smile lol
chris looks soooooooooooooooooo CHEESETACULAR!!!!!
Omg the GRAMMY’s is on and Rihanna is EMBARRASING!!! eww why did she perform?!?!?! where’s beyonce?? janet?? ciara?? SOMEBODY!!!!!
Ri Ri is sooooo damn fab!
Chris Brown- looks cute
Ashanti and Nelly- Adorable!!!
LiL Mama- She looks good. She actually looks feminine for once.
Steph Jones- Sexy!!!!
Rihanna looks like an African queen….she and Chris are adorable together…..I wish them the best to combat all the hate…..two young hustling hard working people keep it up!
The fact that Sanaa, Serena and Nia are available says a lot about the quality of brothers in Hollywood…or maybe period….but on the other hand, women in Hollywood no matter how beautiful can be crazy, too. (SMH at Eva Mendes going to rehab because she has body and self-esteeem issues…what???)
It’s always nice to see black folks looking good, doing their thing….
Go obama! I’m go on a hunger strike till he win anybody wit me? lol Just saw riri. when she first came out I was like 1 hit wonder. then her secound cd I was like 1 or 2 good songs, but hell good girl gone bad was solid. so proud of her and her voice gets stronger the older she gets y she got that it factor I love so much!
that is indeed a beautiful crowd and is that steph jones i see making a come up lookin all light skinned and good? DAMN THAT BOY IS THE NEW SEXY!!!!
After the Fantasia performance all of the little “singers” (Riri,Cici, Ashanti, Solange, etc.) should fall back because Tasia can SANG!
RIHANNA you better WORK! I’m really lovin this child. I forgot the designer of that dress, but I love it. Only a tall chick/model can pull that dress off and she’s done just that! SOME of you in here that’s clownin that dress I bet are the same chicks still matchin their shirt/belt to their shoes. LOL Wouldn’t have a lick of fashion sense if it hit them in the nose and ain’t never stepped foot in Bergdorf’s,Saks, Barneys or any boutique for that matter. Or your idea of designer shoes are Prada/Louis Vuitton SNEAKERS! Eeeeew, Hate you! LMAO!
Oh yes, Mr. Johnta Austin, YOU ARE SOOOO FINE! And I don’t do red skinned guys but GAT DAYUM! I would throw that right out the window if I saw you. Too fine.

AH HAH
OKAY
WHASSUP
SHUT UP
aaaaaaaaw suki suki…did yall see the look on Jay-Z”s face when Rihanna grabbed his hand to go on stage. he was like “uh oh”. There was so much chemistry between them…Beyonce was probably like “whaaaaaaaaaaa”
lol jay was like damn my ass busted! aww shytz beyonce bout ta ring da alarm
Everybody looks nice.
i was lookin at some other pictures of ashanti from this event and i have two questions…..
-why doesnt she have her usual huge smile on???? (i love that =[ )
-why is she lookin extra tiny…..
i was and still am in love with her thick thighs!
ugh i wish she lived here in Atlanta, i would tear her little sexy self up! =P yum
get at ya gurl
ooooooooooh lawd. When Herbie Hancock won album of the year..I thought Kanye was gonna get on stage and start kirkin!!!!!!!!! I was scurred!!
my boo [ashanti] lookin HOT as eva.
Lil Mama looking chic? Wow. I actually had to click on it to see who it was. Didn’t recognize her. Keep it up!
Nia and Sanaa stole the show from the musicians.
Missed the Grammys, was it an upgrade?Worth talking about?
Love Alicia’s Dress !!
#100 and 101
Ya’ll obviously wasn’t paying attention. As soon as Rihanna grabbed his hand he let it go and he didn’t wanna go up there but Rihanna dragged him. Besides technically that was his award anyway since she only won 1 out of 6 nominations because of his verse aka collaboration. Rihanna’s obviously not that great or she would have won 5 in one night like Amy, Beyonce, Alicia, and Lauryn. LOL
Normally riri is on point, but this style thing is going too far in this one.. I hear she did’nt stay too long, too many real singers and too many cuties was there old and new…..
Everyone looks good except for Solange….WTF??
Lil’ Mama is bringing tears to my eyes…she should’ve wore that dress to the grammy’s and she looks so pretty….
Alicia and Rihanna once again rocking the baddest dresses of the night
And I see you Whit
And Shanti looks good too, Nelly ain’t too bad himself he does clean up nice
Whitney looks like she is at church feelin what the pastor just said or what the choir is singing….I’m feelin her reaction to Fantasia….The girl has a powerful, soulful, strong voice that will give you goose bumps…
Both Nia and Sanaa look beautiful…..
Alicia Keys looks gorgeous!!!
Solange looks like a retired figure skater…Lol!
Fergie’s chin looks like someone’s butt. Sorry,but she is in no way attractive. I can’t beleive that ugly fuk stick on Entertainment Tonight picked this cracked out looking b*tch for best dressed. She looked ridiculous in that ugly ass dress she performed in as well.
Nia’s smile is so PLASTIC…
Why was Ashanti even invited? Nelly shouldve kept her non singer a$$ in the car.
