    First time I’ve seen Alicia wear something that truly flatters her figure.

  17. Ummm

    Everyone looks nice. Great post =o)

  18. Dmoney526

    I Just finished this book and I cant wait to c the movie….

  19. erocka

    so far the movie has been getting good reviews and everyones seems to be focusing on Sophie’s roll there saying she was breath taking which i totally believe. did u see her in Hotel Rwanda. And their saying Alicias completely commanded her roll as June an proves she just as great on screen as she is behind a piano.

    But everyone looks good, ya’ll should have put the pic of Alicia and Nate together as well since they do play love interests.

  20. Ms Cali

    Dakota Fanning has really grown. Everyone looks nice.

  21. wow dakota is really growing up ,,,,, go jen power voice oscar winner hudson lol

  22. alicia keys looks absolutely gorgeous….and she isnt even all “glammed” up…love that freakin dress too

    queen latifah lost that weight…hmm,lookin a little “whitney houston” by the face in that bottom pic

    dakota looks so different

  23. MrsMantha

    Ok, nonone has said anything bout Queen’s new haircut!!!! It looks like a wig to me, the cut looks good on her. She reprents the best body image for larger women to me. Toned,tight, and fit, not like J. Hudd who just looks a mess to me. Her arms are soo flabby, there as strach marks on them and her stomach is way to loose. She needs to wear a gridle at ALL TIMES!!!!!

  24. Pinksorbet_08

    Ok I love Queen Latifah but I can’t help but notice her dry wig and no earings. She just looks like she rushed to prepare for this event. Ok I just had a moment. Again I love Queen but had to make that point.

  25. tancred.s

    She looks SO beautiful. I saw her personals ID on wealthy men for beautiful women site “”"”"”C e l e b C u p i d.c o m”"”" last week. It is said she is dating young billlionaire on that site. Is she single now?☆☆☆☆

  26. Talisha

    J. Hud looks great!

    Damn Dakota has grown up right before our eyes.

    I’m in the process of reading the book and I’m hype for this movie. This movie, the one that Jada is in and Tyler Perry’s newest one.

  36. www.5linx.net/lab

  42. tancred.s

    –She is my favorite. Just saw her on milllionaire personals site “”"”"C e l e b C u p i d.c o m”"”"”" last week. I am wondering what kind of relationship she is looking for on that site.Is she single again now?-☆☆☆☆——-

  43. MAK

    C-san’s LA life video on

    thebackpacklogic.wordpress.com

  44. ion care

    OH MY GOD!!!! Tristan Wilds is sooooooo sexy, def. on my “Rape Before I Die” list.

    damn latifah is bigggg :(

  45. the_one

    OMG Queen Latifah actually looks amazing for once. I cannot believe she finally looks like a woman and not a linebacker. I think Jennifer should show off her legs more and cover up the fatty arms or get with Alicia Keys trainer because her upper body is AMAZING.

    Look at little Dakota Fanning all grown up. She is going to be an interesting looking woman. I hope she remains grounded I think she will be one of the great ones. I hope Kiki Parker gives her a run for her money.

    Nat wooooooo I am have naughty thoughts….lol! Even political people get down…

    Sophia Okonedo is an amazing actress that is under rated in the US but well know abroad. I am going to see this movie.

  46. the_one

    @45 you need help, “rape” come on…that is a strong word that can never be used in a positive way. You need a bigger vocabulary sseriously. Are you a woman or man it doesnt matter its still disturbing.

  47. MySolisUrs

    Everyone looks realllly gooooood!! Dakota girl, she has grown up fast…

  48. TRUTHFULLY CUTE08

    EVERYONE LOOKS NICE…BUT MY GIRL ALICIA KEYS LOOK THE BEST, LOVING THAT COLOR DRESS ON HER! SHE’S JUST SO CLASSY!

  49. aysia monet

    FYI: That is NOT a wig on Latifah’s head!! She really cut it people. I kind of dig it though… it’s something new. Not to mention that new figure girlie is workin’, I LOVE IT.

  50. ashleigh

    oooooo tristan wilds is a cutie

  51. SUSPECT

    A keys looks great. THat color is perfect on her.

    Once again J-hud has on an ugly dress. That dress looks like a cover for a car. Her makeup is on point though!!

  52. SUSPECT

    I LOVE queen latifah, but She looks skinner on her jenny craig commercials! Whats up with that?

  53. philly

    ___Alicia Keys___to me is very boring…however i like the work she has done in AFRICA……

  54. philly

    okay…jennifer huson she need to work on her stomach and do some crunches..she looks like a penquin.__i m sorry.

  55. NO ID

    as much as I would like to support my beautiful sisters and even dakota fanning, you cannot drag me to any more white people being spritually saved by the black women movies. nor will you get me to watch how white woman loving black man equals harm done to the black man….noo way. the times for that are long past. you mean to tell me with all the black talent assembled including gina prince bythewood we couldn’t do better than that? I know its a book, but hell, black women have written plenty of those as well….

  56. KIM

    Alicia looks beautiful..

    J Hud and Queen Latifah look good..

    Dakota is a little lady,,

    Tristen looks sexy..

  57. the_one

    NO ID YOU NEED TO READ MORE BOOKS, IT WOULD BE GREAT IF WE COULD “WHITE” WASH EVERYTHING AND MAKE IT ALL ROSIE BUT ITS NOT.

    AND STUPID BLACKS THAT PREPETUATE THAT ISH, IT MAKES ME SICK.

  58. I WANT QUEEN TO GO AND GET DIPPED BACK INTO REALITY..BLACK REALITY.. THAT HAIR IS KILLING HER!!! ALICIA GO BACK TO THE NATURAL HONEY. NATURAL ……………….. IS QUEEN GAY?

  59. tia

    everyone looks great,that darn tristen is as cute as a button i swear….dakota know she growin up i pray for her sanity in hollyweird cuz shes such a talented young lady
