VANESSA WILLIAMS IN EBONY MAG
Sunday, April 6, 2008
“Ugly Betty” star Vanessa Williams is covering the May issue of “Ebony” magazine (cover after cut). And because May is the month Mothers are celebrated, Vanessa also pose with her children - Sasha, Jillian, Melanie, and Devin and mother Helen Williams.
Snippet from the upcoming issue:
For a woman who says “I love being married,” being twice divorced has been devastating….”Divorce is the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through in my life. It’s like a death, and it doesn’t get easier either time. Because it’s a dream that dies, and it’s heartbreaking,” says Williams.
“….So listening to sad music, crying all day, not wanting to get out of bed. It’s a grieving process. You have to feel the pain in order to process a big part of that is also forgiving the other person and forgiving yourself for feeling like you failed,” says Williams.

Rick Fox should have done right by his family. Vanessa is still a beauty. She’s better off without him.

Correction #7, I’m a little younger than Vanessa and over 40, and there’s not ONE wrinkle in my face. It’s not about age dear, it’s about genetics and while I’m the same complexion as Vanessa, I didn’t inherit the white folks propensity for wrinkles at a young age.
Don’t get it twisted again, Black don’t “crack”!

Ashanti, Tina, and Shia are on the cover of the May 2008 issue of S2S Magazine. The magazine cover reads, “No Irv Gotti, no Ja Rule and a halted music career, Ashanti falls back on family for her next move.” Check out a preview of the cover below. Thanks to Jenna! The magazine is on stands now.

@ # 37 Kiss my black ass. I wasn’t sharing the news with your dumb ugly no life having ass. I was sharing it with ANGEL so she can post it. If you don’t like it you can go deep throat a dick and hating on Ashanti aint gone make you any prettier so go look in the mirror at yourself and then start to point out all your faws before you try and judge somebody else. Any hey ANGEL girl please post that news about Ashanti & Family on the cover of Sister 2 Sister Magazine thanks girl.

#41 is so ignorant! If you want to share news about Ashanti and her fam, then your ignorant ass should send the tip directly to Angel’s email or the contact CL link. There is no need to post that info in this post. Obviously, everyone here clicked this post to read about Vanessa Williams and her fam. You are a spammer, who is trying to promote an S2S story on CL. you should be banned, Salesha

Beautiful family! Her mother looks like her sister! Sasha looks like a young top model Eva. Her son Devin looks just like her ex husband Ramon. I have always admired Vanessa since I was a kid. Such a strong woman. Ebony is WRONG for that WEAVE article!!! Blacks are not the only people who wear them. Instead of empowering Black women just one more thing to knock Black women down. What we do with our hair is our own business. I haven’t read Ebony in years because I think their articles suck and this just proves I still WON”T be reading it!!!

Beautiful family and I’m glad she is real about her divorces and not trying to act like she was the superwoman who just bounced back. Overall she keeps herself together and I’m glad to see that she gets along with both ex husbands.

Vanessa and her family are beautiful. I like the fact that she is really honest about her feelings. She never bashes her ex-husbands and that takes a lot of self-control especailly when you have been hurt. She always keeps a job and have been able to hold her head up since her crown was taken from her. Vaness knew she was going to endure that BS. And she did.

I really,really hate Ebony, but I admire Vanessa for her honesty. Her family is beautiful.
# 60 her father is a light skinned black man, it is not common but sometimes blacks produce multi-colored eyes. I knew a couple who were both brown skinned and had two little boys and one had blue/yellow eyes and the other had hazel eyes. Genetics are unpredictable at times.

Both of Vanessa’s parents are black. They all look alike, Vanessa, her parents, her children and the men she has children with. They’re all black people that look mixed. lol
Her first three children all have the same dad, her first husband. The youngest is Rick Fox’s child.
There are a lot of black people with light colored eyes and even many with blue or green eyes. Like someone mentioned before, it’s all genetics.

Vanessa is biracial, her mother is obviously black and her father was white he died a few years ago, she gets her blue-eyes from her dad
I thought everyone knew she is biracial

They are a beautiful family. Why do people have to critique the looks of everyone? I understand it’s a blog, but is it really necessary to discuss how cute or not cute her daughters are or what she needs to do to her sons head? Just appreciate the family and keep it moving. Goodness.
