    Keyshia Cole doesn’t look good in that pic, don’t know if its the teeth or the gum. And T-Pain needs some teeth whitening cream.

    Love T.I., did anyone read the Sister2Sister magazine this month, he did not want to talk about prison at all (LOL).

    Kanye – (straight face) Sick of him
    Keyshia – I love her… But I don’t like her teef. To me there was nothing wrong with them at first. What’s wrong with a gap? Hell I have one. Now her teef look like square chicklets and her gums look like bubble gum.
    Venus Williams – LORD JESUS WHY!? What n da hell was she thinking doing her hair like that. I mean I have natural hair and have braided blond braids in my hair but it did not look like that! She does have money RIGHT???
    LOL at Tanya for saying “And T-Pain needs some teeth whitening cream.” TOO FUNNY AND SO TRUE!
    I love REAL AND CHANCE especially midget mack REAL!

    Kanye I’m over you. Angel, how much did he pay you to put him as the background of this site? Please get rid of it.

    Keyshia looks cute.

    Venus looks a H.A.M. but I’m sure she doesn’t really give a damn about what yall have to say about her. She probably would be a lil pissy about the jokes about her Momma tho lol.

    Lol @ Taye’s wife lol. Smh

    Chance and Real *sigh* Embarassments. I have never seen their show either. I just can’t take anymore of it.

    Tom Green w/ T-Pain is hella odd. Idk what that is all about. I’m getting tired of T-Pain’s gimmick too. The top hat shit and grills are annoying the hell outta me.

    Oh and I would LOVE to have T.I. perform for me. Damn!

    I will purchase this Kanye cd seems like he will be pushing the envelope once again…. I’m sure it’s hot because he brought in so many new elements and it’s from an emotional pov which is always easy to relate to.

    wow @ Keisha… Pharell is handsome… T.I. is a cutie

    hmm@ Venus and Mom

    hmm @ Taye…. ok T-Pain…

    I dnt even know where to go with this one.

    TI, admire u bits. God bless u, u look clean

    Kanye – love this new style. The Jacket is the same as the one from the AMA performance. CL should do a when did he rock it best.

    Keisha – not a fan

    TPain – fan of the music, disgusted of his style. But I must say, he is making a name, and a signature for himself. His style may one day be iconic, just like prince.

    As far as Taye diggs, wife, dont hate yall. Im a black female but she is a VERY talented broadway actress and he has been with her a LONG time. Its time we just worry about who wants us instead of who doesnt want us, you feel me? Im in love with my man and he’s in love with me so it doesn’t matter to me what every single black guy likes or doesn’t like.

    Glad Kanye is staying strong after losing his mother. Must be a sad time for him around the hoildays. People don’t understand how much it hurts to lose ur mother.

    TI this is his year. He has really turned his life around.

    Real & Chance glad VH1 capitalize on these two brothers. Whatever U may say about them. At least there milking there 15 minutes of fame. They are entertaining & funny.

    @10 – I totally agree with you. Nobody trynna look cute when they travelling, so I understand why Venus isn’t in full makeup, etc. BUT THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THAT TORE-UP LOOKING HAIRDO! Venus, sweetie, if you’re gonna rock braids, at least make them the same color has your natural hair (DUH!). Keyshia’s outfit is cute … I think it’s just a bad photo angle on her face. Real and Chance are are just 2 clowns. I can’t even take them or their ridiculous show seriously. (Real’s hair is to-die-for; it would look great on a woman, just not on him). It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that Jessica Szhor is part black … her hair and facial features are definitely not 100% European. As for Taye and his wife, they’ve been together forever, since they were both starving “nobody-actors” doing off-off-broadway theater. I just can’t hate on that kind of long-term love, ya know? Plus, I’ve seen them in-person, and Idina is actually a very attractive woman.

    Keyshia’s fam-oriented and that’s cool but it’s much too late for her to play the sophisticated card..what’s with the personal chef and speech therapy (obviously she’s had it..she pronounces things much differently now.,.she’s learned and un-learned stuff)…this means she exploited her former lifestyle…like every other person who talks about the hood for $ while living in the burbs

    Taye could have done better? Please. Idina could do so much better than Taye. She is actually talented and doing things for herself. I know she is a white Jewish woman and this is a website for Black people, but that doesn’t take away the fact the woman is ridiculously talented. Taye is lucky they met and feel in love when they were younger because I feel like the 13 years they have been together is the ONLY reason her ass is still with him. She definitely doesn’t need him.
