  1. I like Lynn Whitfield’s dress! Looks like she put on a lil weight. Definately a good look!

  2. Phylicia and Debbie are so beautiful! i wonder what Debbies husband looks like?

  3. Pretty In Prada

    Debbie Allen & Phylicia Rashad are such talented and sophisticated black women, real role models…
    Eartha Kitt still trying to keep a movement going…LOL (Yea Okay)
    Lynn Whitfield PLEASE stop …
    Pauletta Washington what the hell were u thinking ? NOT A GOOD LOOK…NEXT

    *Anika has the best look going… get it girl*

  4. I was looking for the update on this…….I love seeing Phylicia Rashad and Debbie Allen together. Love em.

    By the way, that’s Debbie’s son pictured with her in the suit, but the other two are not her kids.

  5. jones

    I said the other day or two that COOL MORGAN SMOOTH could pull women half his age…

  6. @ 5. Yeah I edited it because I remember her daughter didn’t look like that. I got an email saying that was Phylicia’s kids.

  7. TruthfullyCute08

    Phylicia Rashaad Looks Nice and her sis Debbie, whose the oldest cause it looks like Debbie is more older than Phylicia. Lynn Whitfield gained mad weight I didn’t even recognize her, the last time I saw her is when she was in “A thin line between love and hate” with Martin Lawrence and she was mad skinny back then but she look nice now, tho her face look swollen. Terrance Howard daughter looks cute awww, tho she doesn’t have his color eyes she’s still a cutie. But overrall everyone looks good. Eartha Kitt still looks the same. What happened o Grace Jones??

  8. The King of Meats

    Debbie should keep her son away from the niece and nephew! Phylicia’s kids look over exposed! [jk]

  9. The King of Meats

    Spike Lee look like Otis the security guard from the Martin Lawrence show! hehe!

  10. Anika on Fire

    Saw this last Wed. (was too young – didn’t know about the orig. w/Liz Taylor, but will check for it) and Anika (sassy and classy – OWNED that stage) did her thang! She, James Earl Jones (when he curses – whew!) and then Terrence Howard (comedic parts) are the whole play. Terrence kept “leaning” on the wrong leg, but it was cool.

  11. TiffanysWorld

    Does Paulette & Aretha have the same stylist? SMH~Neither can Never get it right~

  12. Aries_Dyme

    Man Debbie’s son can get it!

  13. Miss mikelah

    Debbie’s son is one handsome fella :) everyone looks great!

  14. cdnyc

    @6: You know it. My friend and I saw him in Memphis once and we were like, “Is that Morgan Freeman? Alright, now!”

    Everyone looks great, except Pauletta. That fur coat is toooooooooooo much for her.

    I’m going to see this play tomorrow night. I’m excited.

  15. Debbie Allen’s son looks good!

  16. #8

    Phylicia is 2 or 3 yrs. older than Debbie, but Debbie does look older. Phylicia looks like she stopped aging.

  17. CANDACE

    Phylicia is the oldest and Debbie was or is married to Norm Nixon and ex basketballplayer. He is quite handsome himself.

  18. @ 7 & 9 I know that’s not Phylicia’s daughter but I’m not sure if that’s her son or not, I doubt it tho. If I find out who they are, I’ll post it.

  19. Giggles

    I know this is mean but Terrence’s kid is not very good-looking, his great looks went to waste.

    Phylicia was always really pretty in the Cosby show (oh the memories)
    I could eat Boris kodjoe he is sooooo hottttt

  20. RI RI

    Nice lookin older crowd.
    Except for Terrence Howard….can’t stand his monkey ass.

  21. itzzzkimmm

    Debbie’s son is cute!!!

  22. MJ

    Yessss! I live for these successful people of color. Phylicia Rashad and Debbie Allen are PHENOMENAL WOMEN; I enjoy their work and their success has NEVER been compromised by any scandals or less than desirable roles.

    Yes black people, YESSSSS!!!

  23. shugshug

  25. Vibrant Virgo

    Spike Lee wife could’ve done better then that.Anika looks nice and Terrence’s daughter looks just like him with that yalla complexion.Phylicia Rashad looks great for her age unlike her sister or Bill!Black folk doing great things!If u like it I luv it dammit!

  26. something aint right

    let me get at debbie’s nephew, that’s too fine for me to handle!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  27. hood_shit

    I HEART Jeremy Piven… What’s poppin Ari Gold?

    Debbie’s SON and NEPHEW are the BUSINESS!

  28. MJ

    SHUGSHUG,

    it quite possibly could be him, I haven’t seen the movie in its entirety… I say it could be him simply because DEBBIE ALLEN did DIRECT it, so maybe she found a way to incorporate her son into it as well.

  29. TT

    Is it me or does Debbie Allen’s nephew look like a tall Katt Williams?? Everyone looks good though.

  30. Quiche-A

    Dang Pauletta, whas this premiere in the North Pole?

    all these comment on debbie son and nephew i just dont see it!

  39. Elle

    Boris? Ugh! Now, I don’t want to see it…seriously, he’s just ruined it for me… Anika needs a man that can be just as intense as she is onstage…I know Brick was beautiful, but they could have found a passionate, athletic guy who isn’t the male movie equivalent of Gabrielle Union or somebody…yuck!

  40. loFvdylk

    He is cool. But I am very cucious. Why did he post his profile on a celebrities and wealthy website named
