Robert DeNiro looks too comfortable,lol..I love that dude! Naomi was doing way too much with that dress, not for a 90th B-Day of Nelson Mandela :(. Everyone one else looks great!!! Mr. Mandela looks half his age, mark my word….he is going to be around for a couple more years!

You guys need to chill about Nicole and Naomi.
What do you mean thye have no business being there? Like YOU ALL have more rights than them to celebrate Nelson Mandela’s B-Day. They are famous. Famous peeps get in wherever. They they had no business being there the security would have turned them around at the door. Apparently Nelson didn’t have a problem with them being there.
Quit hating about how people getting into shit and get a fackin life. Talking shit on the net will never get you in the face of Mandela.

Mandela you are a traitor. When you were locked in prison for decades, did any of these shady white folks bother to try and set you free? all they wanted was diamond from SOuth Africa. It was the BLACK Africans and your ex-wife ( who you divorced) that kept your name alive and your flame burning. Now that you are free, you ditch your people to go and dine in London with those evil people. SHAME!!

Who cares? Big deal? Amazing… I found brintey spears had a personal account on on the wealthy dating club RICHLOVING.COM for hot singles to hook up for Hot Love and Sexy Dating. It’s said Charlie Sheen has found his love there last May.

First of all, for all of you hating on Nicole, she is there with her man. Yes, that black dude is her man. There is nothing wrong with that.
Second of all, for those of you that said she haven’t done anything to deserve to be there for Nelson’s bday and those that said she doesn’t even know who Nelson is, please gtfo. It’s because of ignorant comments like that we look so uncivilized and uneducated. I mean would you just want black people to honor Nelson or do ya’ll want people of all race to honor Nelson? Which is better? I mean get a brain and think about that.
And lastly, for all my sistahs that she she is a whack ass hoe, y’all just jealous she looks better than ya black lard ass sitting around ya cheap ass computer. Rael talk fatty.
Quit hatin’ ya f**kin’ double standard ignorant assholes

wow #97
i knew before long their would be some ghetto uneducated blk man who try to talk down and belittle blk women. firstly, as alot have said why is nicole their and also naomi so it has nothing to do with hating(guess we hating on our own kind to) its their wondering what her attendance their
is about and as a blk women mentioned she was their with her date who yes is blk. but its apparent that you personally have a problem with blk women did your mom not treat you right or did one brake your heart. its funny how the white and latin men i come across treat me with more respect than blk men and then they wonder why i turn them down for not being my type love the double standard read a damn book, then familarize yourself with your computer so you know how to use the spell check.

First of all, I’m more educated than a lot of my people. At least I got a high school diploma and I’m currently attending college. I’m trying to make the most out of life because I have a reason to live. The last thing I want to be classified as is a “whack nigga” like most of my peers. Most black people my age would drop out of high school and live with their mothers sleeping everyday until afternoon not to mention being unemployed. I did not reread what I wrote because I was in a hurry explaining all those nonsense. And by the way, you have a lot of errors as well so why point out my errors when you’re just making yourself look bad with your errors.
Second, Nicole was there because she was with her man. Her top is not that bad at all. Sure, she could have worn something different but it wasn’t foul. At least she’s not revealing her cleavage by pushing them out. Naomi on the other hand was there for a cheap publicity stunt only. Naomi looked like a cheap shank yet most CL readers make a bigger deal out of Nicole. That definitely seemed like it was race intention. Someone even said “what is that white bitch doing there?” Just for the record, Nicole is only about a quarter Caucasian. She is mostly Polynesian. And by the way, blacks do hate on their own kind often. You see it everyday at school, work or randomly on the street.
Third, sure my mother was there for me. She taught me what’s right and what’s wrong. Something that most single black mothers should teach their kids so they don’t end up crowding prisons. It’s a fact that black males degrade women the most as you see in music videos and in everyday struggle. I’m not like that at all. I’m not the aggressive abusive type of dude. I love my black woman but the problem is all they do is hate, hate and hate even more. I have never seen creatures that insecure. In order for a change, the men will have to stop degrading women and the women should stop being so insecure by hating and accept live to the fullest. Now that’s real talk.
