I swear Beyonce’s hair was black yesterday, wtf?

Diddy is such a fool but so funny.

Jay-Z is aging badly. But his hair looks dope like that.

If Mary wears those boots one more time…..

Beyonce knows damn right if it wasn’t for Jay-Z she wouldn’t attend any of these things, hell, she would probably vote McCain.

OBAMA ‘08!

Inspiring Change

Tuesday, November 4, 2008 /

It hasn’t settled in yet that in a few hours we will now who the next president is, especially after campaigns that seemed they would never end. Obama is a great candidate for President of the United States of America. I believe in my heart that Obama will bring a positive change to this country and the world. I respect and appreciate Barack Obama and everyone involved to make this possible. I need for Barack to win this election, early on I said that I wouldn’t get emotionally involved, to prevent being disappointed in the event of an unfortunate outcome. But I have become so emotionally engaged, that I can’t imagine my future without a President Obama….I’ve been praying that voters turn out and support him in overwhelming numbers, and that those in charge of polling places, and counting the votes are fair.

But on a much lighter note its good to see these celebs are out in full effect, doing what they can.

You know I hate when my husband and I wear the same colors sometimes we come out of our closets and notice we have on the same colors, I immediately change but B and J look cute with their variation of the same color. But the camel toe oh no!!!!! Maybe Jay hit it the night before and the jeans are hitting that button making her reminisce. girls you know what I’m talking about LMAO

I voted early in NC the line was long wrapping around the building so I told my husband that if it didn’t move we would leave, but we stayed and the line moved quickly we only waited 30 mins or so and I am sooo glad I stayed because my vote counted stay focused people

Beyonce got them Ooochie Wally jeans on! Her oochie is SCREAMING wally in those things. She looks cute though.

I did my part & voted. My car’s head gasket recently blew, so Im outta a ride for a while. I took a CAB to vote. The poll workers were all hooping & hollaring when I stepped out, like GO HEAD MS DIVA!! THAT’S COMMITMENT. It felt good to have done my part.

I hope everyone else has done the same.

Tuesday, November 4, 2008 /

On the positive, I’m glad they did this. That was nice of them.

However, how many of them are registered and will actually vote? In 2004, it was stated nobody in DC was registered let alone voted. I think it also came out about Diddy. There were others they put on blast for making commercials yet were not registered or voted so we shall see.

Now, we all know that photographers photoshop the hell out of these artists but GODDAMN BEYONCE?!?!?!?!? What the hell is going on with those jeans. They don’t fit, they are unflattering, and is that a camel toe I see? She’s giving me a yeast infection just looking at her.

Just so you know! When you vote you can get:

* Free coffee from Starbucks!!!
* Free Donut from Krispy Kreme!!!
* Free Ice Cream from Ben and Jerry’s btwn 5pm and 8pm!!!

You did your job! Why not enjoy the rewards?

I went and got my coffee, my donut and when I get out of work I’m getting that Ice Cream! lol

Oh they also were giving out free egg and bacon sandwiches for the people on line, but that was only in my neighborhood…..sorry…lol.

Tuesday, November 4, 2008 /

wow . CL did you guys ever find the pic, vid, or anyhting that showed Diddy voting.
I remember on Def Comedy Jam when a comedian said White people think that they have to have some kind of hip hop to get black people to act on things that are important to us.
I’m not saying he’s right but it is suspect.
We will never change.
If in fact Obama does win keep in mind he is still a politican. Dont get you hopes up too high for too much change.
If he doesn’t win. PLEASE respect yourself, be civil and respect the fact that not everybody is voting Obama and some of us are cheering for the other side.

Remeber that it is Still America no matter who is elected put you faith in God, love and provide for your family, work in your community, and love life.

side note. For all of you people who say they will move if one person or another win plaese get you papers in order. Get a head start and leave on the 5th. that way we know you not just talk. That goes for Akon too who stated the if Obama loses he will move back to africa. That’s on man America can do without.

105.

NOT EASILY IMPRESSED

Tuesday, November 4, 2008 /

Go Obama! Anybody else nervous! I’m sooooooooooooo nervous! As for the rally, I love the way Mary is looking at Puffy in the first picture..like “Stop showing out!” lol Mary gets all my respect…she’s wearing a nice outfit, too…It’s a bit ironic that she looks like money but you know… As for Beyonce, she needs to stop the crash dieting. She goes up and down sooo much that it’s unhealthy! Luther died of diabetes-related illnesses, however, his incessant yoyoing exacerbated his condition. It’s hell on your body…Get one size Beyonce, most reasonably your natural size - what? a 10 or so? - and stay there! Stop going up and down! I love the pumps though I am a bit tired of seeing them (Spice, JLo, and Ashley Olsen have worn them in the last two weeks)

AHHHHHH..Look, I am glad to see celebrities rocking the vote. Why do we as a people always find a problem with everything? If none of these people promoted voting we would say, if they were so this and that they would have supported Obama. Why can’t we just be happy that they are showing their love and support to a candidate that will be representing us on some level? Wow.

Tuesday, November 4, 2008 /

Okay, so i voted this morning and im so happy. The wait was not that long. It was about one hour. U could tell everyone was voting for Obama. Even the 2 white ladies behind me. Lol. Beyonce looks pretty. I dont believe she went to the Hudsons funeral. But i could be wrong. I hope all these celebs are voting and not just being phony for attention.

@#55 - Lauryn - WHERE’S Beyonce’s RESPECT???

You make NO sense!!! She paid her respects..she did not have to, she CHOSE to do so. Rather then giving her credit for leaving her obligations, you chose to insult and question her integrity.

She is fighting for CHANGE. This is an election that chould shift not only the US, but the world.

Mad respect to Beyonce for not only giving offer her moral support to Jennifer, but offering her voice for this election.

Don't Argue With Me It's Just An Opinion

Tuesday, November 4, 2008 /

I’m sooo nervous! I really want him {Obama} to win!!!!

Beyonce looks real nice. She’s annoying me slightly less (but it’s probably because I haven’t been on the loop in a few weeks lol)

Love Mary to death… but she just can’t get enough of those boots no matter what the occasion is.

Either way, this is a wonderful cause for the celebrities to gather for. I KNOW that if you all are posting comments on the loop that everyone of age has voted right… :) Happy voting today!!

Someone mentioned being nervous today, it is a little nerve racking,
here in NY there are many “watch” parties tonight, at just about every major
restaurant/bar/club - me and my baby will pull an allnighter hanging out with
all of the supporters.

Now that some black leaders feel the election is a done deal, they are BACK to telling black people not to expect anything from a black president, and that we MUST do for ourselves EVENTHOUGH WE PAY TAXES like everyone else for protection from federally funded offices like:

police protection
Just courts
Equal opportunity in employment - EEOC
Equal Opportunity in housing - HUD
Equal Opportunity for loans
Equal Opportunity to make a living through LEGAL means regardless of harrassment from so-called Black christians
Equal Opportunity to wear the clothing styles of our choice
Equal Opportunity to fair treatment in the schools for our children
The right to shoot to kill to protect ourselves and our homes just like they give white folks (i.e. Texan who killed 2 black men)

The right to walk around and demand dignity and respect instead of having to face the KKK ALONE, and resort to Jim Crow to survive.

We could have gotten that kind of treatment from a Republican Administration.

The federal govt has THE POWER to SHUT DOWN and eradicate these hate groups, and to demand equal treament for us with prosecutions and major fines on our behalf.

If Obama doesn’t do this, BLACK AMERICANS WILL NEVER BE DUPED INTO VOTING FOR NOTHING AGAIN.

Beyonce is such a follower. She is only campaigning becasue her husband Jay is!!! If Jay wasn’t out their campaigning, then she wouldn’t be either. (monkey see, monkey doo!). She doesn’t seem like she has a mind of her own. Her entire career she has been lead by her parents and now by Jay!

Everybody on that stage combined is worth a small country. Why WOULDN’T they have security (bodyguards) when attending an event as big as that? The word ‘fan’ is short for ‘fanATIC’ which means that some people don’t know how to stay within the boundary of sanity when it comes to famous people.

Looks like they were having fun. Yeah, Bey’s pants are hella tight, but who cares..it was for something great! Obama 08! Waited a lil’ over 2 hours this morning, but i’m glad i voted!

132.

Reason

Tuesday, November 4, 2008 /

^__________________________^ @ all these people making something NEGATIVE about this post. This election, believe it or not, is BIGGER than how Beyonce’s pants look, or the Bodyguard on the stage, or the color of her hat, or whatever trivial things people come up with. And I’m pretty sure Bey didn’t mention her album or anything, so I’m not sure how she’s “promoting” it.

BTW i voted yesterday :D

Oh and everybody get out there and make Obama PRESIDENT!

I voted and I’m so ecstatic. Never have I seen such large turnout at my polling station. Tonight should be interesting. I will cry tears of joy and pain; cause Barack just makes me want to do better, treat myself better, give more, serve more, and just be a better human being.

I know many have their doubts; but I will do my best to remain positive and rejoice in the amazing accomplishment of what this man has really done.

@ 142–Lauryn “Where’s beyonce Respect”

I’m sorry, I refuse to think that just because some I work with has suffered a tragedy, I should be down and depressed. Im sure Beyonce as well as the rest of the world prayed and weeped when we forst heard of what happen, but no need to question’ this girls respect. But hey, thats your opinion.

At least we agree on 1 thing….OBAMA needs to wim.

at # 17 I understand that you feel it will be the same old stuff but on the other hand we must BELIEVE that God will use Obama to change things and it will become more better 4 black americans.

People who are worrying about bey tight pants get over it WHY do you crazy people worry so much about her. She is being her
