The concert featured live performances from 50 Cent, Ludacris and Saving Abel, as well as taped performances from Kanye West, Kid Rock, Fall Out Boy, Nelly and more. There were also appearances from Ciara, Whoopi Goldberg and Eve.

    I used to like Anderson Cooper until the democratic primary when his white privilege started to show.

    Whoopi is still better and cooler than most.

  3. cause i said so

    Ciara now, no one can hate on you this time, you look super beautiful and natural and flawless, you have stepped your came up super major. And your outfit, accessories and hair is on point. you giving B, rihanna and the others around for there money with this look, Awww im proud of you , keep up the good work:)

  6. Beyonce Forever

  8. Nicky

  9. Ciara looks damn FLY.

    That’s a good look for her

  10. Miss. Tiandez Jones

    usually like eves style..on the fence with this look

    ciara actually looks stunning for once, she looks natural no weave (or is it), natural looking makeup, outfit is cute, accessories compliment it…she has stepped up indeed. lets see how long this lasts..

  11. Freemama

    You guys really amaze me the way you talk bad about people that don’t look, dress, wear 5 tons of make-up like the “over-exposed” people you are use to seeing over and over and over!! Like I said in posts past-WHO WROTE THE LAW THAT SAYS WHO IS BEAUTIFUL OR NOT?????

  12. kate

    ciara

    her new song ” taking back my love” with enrique inglesias is

    incredible

  13. FC

    I agree, I love Ciara, but she is looking like Ri Ri…

    Sorry CiCi…stay in your lane…you do look cute, but you look like Rihanna..

    And cleary another fad is coming into play with thes “Pompadore’ hair..Its all poofed up in teh front. Isnt BCater wearing her hair like this now.. Now Eve, and Ciara…

    UGH.

  14. obama08!

    yeah i thought Anderson Cooper was cool too until now. he started showing his true colors.

    what the hell Eve got on

  15. LaMarr

    what did anderson cooper say?

  16. THE HONEST CRITIC

    Ciara looks beautiful in this still shot. The looks more like nia long in this pic than any1 else. SMH at people saying she’s trying to be like Rihanna? how is that? Her hairstyle is COMPLETELY different and it’s obvious you guys don’t know the difference. Anyways glad to see Ciara gained some weight back. She looks normal again.

  17. Jazz

    I WAS THERE LAST NIGHT. IT WAS REALLY GOOD.

  18. Tonya Davis

    Ciara can never look better than BEE. BEE is a GIRL. Ciara is a boy.. Rhianna is manufactured by def jam to destroy bees career.. Guess what!! Not gonna happen

  19. Tonya Davis

    Ciara can never look better than BEE. BEE is a GIRL. Ciara is a boy.. Rhianna is manufactured by def jam to destroy bees career.. Guess what!! Not gonna happen

  20. JANIE

    Tony davis shut the fuck up. Bee’s pretty but I can definetley name some girls that are on a higher level. Ciara’s not a boy dumbass it was a rumor. Anyways ci looks stunning and fresh and she doesn’t look like rihanna there. Some people need to get their eyes checked. Whoop girl, what the fuck happened to you?? Luda looks good and 50, he looks like a monster like usual.

  21. Like Em Dark and Slim

    I’m a Vet and I must say that these Artist are only doin this Gig for promo and don’t give a damn about the cause or have any knowledge of what Veterans have been through.

  22. Dee

    Oh I see my Silver Fox was there (Anderson Cooper)

  23. dale23

    Damn Ciara is lookin good! And i don’t think she was copying Rihanna’s hair AT ALL.

    It looks like she has a ponytail in the back, and Rihanna…has no hair LOL.

    ^^^and yea. i personally saw her in the Sawgrass Mall back home and all i gotta say is…pictures don’t do this woman justice!!!

  24. peacekeeper00

    How in the world is Ciara trying to look like Rhianna. Last time I checked, Rhianna’s hair is cut short. Ciara’s hair is long in this picture. The hairstyle she is rocking has been worn by MANY females for years. Ciara’s look is very simple and trendy; nothing that Rhianna or any of your favorite artist started. Some of yall need to get out the house, and off the internet more often so you can see what’s going on in the world.

  25. *****Dame (It's Bee season)

    I loves me some AC and I will be watching this tonight

  26. kaykay

    i didn’t even notice ciara so that shows how unwarranted any comparrisons to rihana are, lol-they’re definitely not on the same level, ha ha! i just saw a commercial for this and they said Beyonce was performing too…what gives?

  27. SweetThang729

    CiCi and 50 ain’t fooling nobody dammit!!!

  28. ja

    I hate to point out the obvious, but is the concert just to sign peitions. This sound like a plot to use Vets to get ratings to in turn make money. There are already programs and health care, and an a$$ of money being spent. ( you guys would be surprised)
    Maybe someone needs to send a link over to MTV (http://www.va.gov/) so they can maybe donate some of that money that they will make to one of the programs or a VFW and lets please take note that the website behind this event all but endorses Obama.
    If you read the peition( which most people do not) The things asked for are in progress are have been in progress for year.

  29. kaykay

    mkay i’ve looked at ciara. rihanna doesn’t even wear her hair in a pompador and no celeb including rihanna has the lock on that sytle or is even credited w/popularizing it. ciara does look cute, much better than she did at the bet hip hop awards last night.

  30. Joja86

    Ciara looks nice! Ugh, I was supposed to go to this =(

  31. caper

    well where was d.l. hughley? somewhere defending the republicans cause he got a show on cnn. i can’t believe this guy says the republicans [quote ]‘i’am not going to villify a republican. but at them mccain campaign rallys them folks can call for the head of a sitting senator holler kill him , and this man says i won’t villify them. well when you got on jay leno in that picnic table looking shirt and tie and disparaged them ladies from rutgers in front of a world audience looking like andy gump, and now you want to take the high road. how low will you stoop to keep your cable on? like its been said i won’t throw the first punch but i will throw the last. all my life a republican ain’t meant me no good period. yea republicans can talk all that coded race lingo and you better believe mr. hughley i’am going to have a rapid response back. that man begging mccain at that rally was like a slave begging for a white man to do a black man no good and you damn skippy that was enunch weak. man you’d be surprised the people w/that house negro slave in their blood. but then again those beholden to advitisers,sponsors,and supporters, like that ol man on car wash said yea seems like you stoop just alittle lower ………. now don’t we. by the way i don’t have cable and before i’d stoop i wouldn’t want it.

  32. HALCYONC

  42. Jammie

    EVE I see you! Love both of their hairstyles!
    Uh huh 50 and Ciara both there and at Bet Hiphop Awards but they arent a couple… sure!

    Lol, Thanks CL cant wait to see this!

  43. Corey

    @41 THNX you DEE!!! She doesnt not look like her!
    I think RIHANNA IS SOO SEXY and CIARA IS SOO SEXY!
    Now haters do hate on my decision. Both rocking them and killin it! Face it they are and one isnt copying another or anything. Go Cici!

  44. Jammie

    @ # 28 EXACTLY!!!
    50 and CICI playing theirselves thinking we are stupid lol…we know the DEAL!
    @30 Yeah I havent seen Rihanna rock the way Ci does it! I must admit both are SOOO BEAUTIFUL. Why cant people just leave it at that?

  45. buffyuna

    OMG Ciara looks soooo pretty. She reminds me of Lindsay Lohan circa 2004 with the rock look. She really should keep the dressed down look cause it compliments her. Oh and her new song with enrique eglacias is HOT. I heard he is releasing “Im taking back my love ft ciara” as his second single so hopefully it will be on her album as well. U cant believe it but I actually like ciara doing international pop songs…her voice goes with it really well.

  46. Just because

    Aww, Ciara you did it with this one. you look like a for real super model, you stepped your game up totally. you look speechless. Usually you have ALL PLAYERHATING aSs COMMENTS BUT NOT THIS GO ROUND, THATS BECAUSE THEY CAN’T EVEN HATE ON YOU THIS TIME. GO CIARA. 50 other girls can’t even hate with comments on this one, ahhh huh

  47. Can we leave Robyn and Bey out of ONE post?! They need to send yall a check for how much yall interject them into every little thing!

    Ciara looks great, I guarantee if yall saw her on the street yall would double take! Just bc she decided to leave her lace front at home for one day dont mean she is jacking Rih!

    And #32, please, fall back. DL knows how to take off his Democratic blinders to make a correct analysis of politics, which is why he has a show on CNN. That is whats wrong with America, politics is to polarized. Even Bill Clinton said that, and he’s a Democrat! neways I’ll be watching his show this weekend yall do the same Obama ’08

  48. Theo

  51. NOT SO EASILY IMPRESSED

    Ciara is lame…she really shouldn’t be doing anything, anywhere. She and Ashanti should buy some land in Alaska and build bridges or something…

  53. blksiren06

    AC 360 IS SEXY…..LUVS HIM. KEEP KEEPING ‘EM HONEST!!!

  54. martha focker

    co-sign #53.i been saying ciara is the new ashanti.came out hot but now played the fuck out.next year she wont even be on these blogs like ashanti.

    the reason why people are saying shes trying to look like rihanna is because rihannas style is edgy,cute rocker girl.and ciara is trying to look like it too.

  55. imani b.

    aah anderson cooper … too fine! :) i could watch his show all day

  56. CZStar
