That Hosea dude got a widow’s peak worse than Tito Jackson…what’s good???
Lisa Raye is a natural beauty indeed…but i’m convinced she only shops at White Sales.
Kiki?? Is that you?? Gentrification in Harlem put her out of work, but I’m glad she is looking and doing well.
Love, love LOVE Melinda and D-Nice!!! Black love at it’s finest!

Hold up……is THAT REALLY Vanessa Williams??!! I swear she looks a lot different from that, unless there’s another Vanessa Williams I’ve never heard about, yet.
Wow, I haven’t seen Sheryl Lee Ralph for a minute. Where’s she been? I think that she is a brilliant actress.

i watched america gangster twice and the 2nd time i paided attn: to rubydee’s part AND I SEE why she is nonminated for the oscar she nailed that scene. if you had of been denzel,would you of gonna ahead to kill that police officer? but the way rubydee spoke and broke it down to him he ended up going to church. she is my inside fav for it. no one has of what i have seen, the passion in turning a killer 360 degrees cause dezel was on his way to kill. great job mrs ruby

With the exception of Ruby Dee, why is Black Enterprise throwing an Oscar party for a bunch of people that can’t get decent roles. Some folks will show up for any photo op

What is little Ms. Pratt up to? She is a good little actress! What’s the deal with Dondre and Sallie, I think they are slept on as far as talent is concerned. Malinda and D Nice loves them!
I’m also very excited for Ruby Dee, although I liked her in the movie, she should’ve gotten the honor of Oscar for other performances. She is a living legend, I know Ozzie is proud.

I see that Tia Mowry (flawless as usual) never turns down an invitation. Good to see her though. I just wonder where her sister and her fiance’ are. I haven’t seen her fiance’ since they announced their engagement. Right??

I love Tia Mowry, that chick STAY fly.
Why does Kyla Pratt still look like she’s 16 years old? I mean I know she’s only 21 but she doesn’t look it. I guess that will benefit her in the long run.
D Nice and Malinda look so good together. Malinda, that’s my girl, people always say I look like her especially since I have short hair.
LMAO @ 33 HE SHO DO LOOK LAK MICHAEL!!

Kyla and Jennifer look like two high school girls posing like that.
Vanessa and Malinda Williams are beautiful. Loved them on Soul Food!
I like Taraji’s (aka Yvette) coat.
Oh, can’t forget about Tia. Her style is simple yet elegant… I like that. Can’t wait for new episodes of The Game to come on!!!

Is it just me or does Hosea Chancez looks like Micheal from Good Times in that pic?
____________
Yes, and he looks like he has on Micheal’s clothes from the show too. Why is his outfit so tight? And why does he have on a belt with pants with no belt loops — esp. a belt that added a hole — look at that last hole sitting over there by itself. I recognize those “mama added a hole with a screwdriver and hammer” anywhere.

I am just wondering why is Lisa Raye still popular. She has only done one movie, The Players Club, -she was a stripper. Then, The Two Of Us-she played the ex wife. Then she married a Prime Minister in the Turks And Caicos. I have heard that their marriage is on the rocks because he cheats and she is always away in California…Still pretty though . I was wondering if anyone else have heard this too?

Tia Mowry looks really cute. She flies under the radar alot of times because she basic, chic, and still classy.
I wonder why her sister won’t come out?
Vanessa Williams also looks very nice
Haha Kiki does look like Sister Patterson

Sheryl Lee Ralph did you walk past your mirror or is it broken and you now have bad luck? I don’t understand….SMH…..and Kiki Shepard, I didnt know they had medication that was so strong because you are still hanging in there. Maybe you rubbed the LOG @ THE APOLLO before you came out…..try again with the CAT FUR and DENIM….

It depends on what area of HR you want to get into. Becoming an HR Asst is the best way to get an idea of what area you wish to focus on. Are you in school?
