LEXUS’S ARRIVING IN STYLE EVENT
Holly Robinson Peete and fashion designer Kevan Hall co-hosted “Arriving in Style,” presented by Lexus, at the Reagan Center in DC. The cocktail reception preceded a private showing of Kevan Hall’s 2009 Spring Collection and benefited hollyrod4kids, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for underserved children.
Cathy Hughes, founder of Radio One and TV One, and Dr. Michael Eric Dyson were both in attendance to help support this great cause.
I like both causes.
Dr. West honoring Big Boi?? Wow.
awww. holly robinson pete looks nice…
First!!! and this is my first post. Props to Holly–she’s been my girl since the Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper Days!
I really admire Cathy Hughes.
Cornel West is the shiznick…Love Outkast(Andre3000)!
I love Big Boi!! His acting skills are off the chain!!! I hope other 2 events were successful!
I’ll give $10, but I’ll take a Lexus GS 430h in red as a parting gift.. Thank you very much.
Oh…and something seems “off” with Kid Sister.
EVERYTIME I SEE KID SISTER SHE LOOKS DIFFERENT
I didn’t know Cathy Hughes was the founder of TVOne. I love that channel. I wish we had it at my school.
myeah i’m not quite on board w/West but now Dyson…that’s my man!
Good for Big Boi that’s an award I’m sure he is most proud.
I love any cause for the kids… I love the kids!
Go Cathy Hughes…. love it!~
Yesss @ 11
It’s like every time Eric Dyson speaks he’s spittin out fire!!! The man is one of the most intellectual I’ve heard in a while.
Everyone looks nice…
I LOVE Dr. West his album is amazing !!!!!!
Love Jimmy Jean Louis.. he is sooo fine!

Thanks for the Community of Vets link. It’s is well put together. That’s actually my job too. I assist veterans with making their transition from the military to civilian life. I work closely with our VA hospitals, Vets Centers and community outreach centers to provide the services they need. The site is an excellent source of information and filled with useful tips and resources. I forwarded the link to those who work with me and we will make sure our nation’s heroes get the information about the site.
I just wanted to thank you myself. As a vet and a member of this site.
Keep that good infomation coming. Peace in the Middle East.
Jimmy Jean Louis is HOTTT!!
@ #9 I agree….Kid Sister does look different every time….I never know it’s her
I might check into one of those MTV shirts
Holly always looks great
You guys are right, Kid sister looks different every time I see her, Congrats to Big Boi as well!
Congrats Big Boi! Holly looks so pretty.
I LOVE Kid Sister’s dress! Its HOTT!!!!!!!!!
Where u guys aware that Dr. Michael Eric Dyson has a brother serving life w/o the possiblity of parole in prison and of course its not a reflection of him and I’m not saying it as such. Just shows how kids in the same household raised by the same parents take on different paths in life.
ITS SOOO COOOOOOOLD IN THE D!!!!!!
lol sorry. i had to do it.
Kid Sister looked extra Caucasian…didn’t recognizer her at first. Holly looks very nice though. Cornel West may be a prolific mind, but irritates me at times.
I love Kid Sister
#9, I was thinking the same thing! I was like who is that?! Holly is in such great shape!
WAT IS UP WITH CONCRETELOOP ??? DAMN
^^^ I KNOW!!!….. WORK IS SO MUCH BETTER WHEN CL IS JUMPIN DURING THE DAYTIME, LOL. I ACTUALLY HAD TO ACT LIKE AN EMPLOYEE TODAY.
IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR, SO I JUST HOPE THE STAFF IS OCCUPIED WITH SCHOOL (STUDYING/FINALS) AND NOT SOMETHING ELSE
foorizal my nizzle
at #3, Hollly’s been my girl since 21 Jump Street! LOL
Umm…the day is damn near over and CL has YET to put up ANYTHING new…this site is the WACKEST EVER!
Holly does look good for her age, heck she looks better than me and im young enough to be her kid.
Whats up with slow needs CL? You could at least have done a post on Alexandra Burke, there are things going on in the world that the CL staff could post.
Please remember that your posts keep broke university students like myself entertained…
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Christmas must’ve come early for you guys. Or you have no power due to the weather. Either way i’m sitting at work bored and since they snatced away the YBF, you people are all i got, get it together.
WHATS GOING ON WITH THE POSTINGS TODAY ANGEL? SLOW MEDIA DAY?….
34 LOL! I feel your pain!!!! My job has blocked YBF too! I almost died when I found out that is my spot! They not only are up on top of things but they give you MANY pictures to look at and it stays updated. This site was my last resort. I don’t care for it much after being spoiled by YBF, but I do what I can : ) If they could keep ish going around these parts I might actually like this site. I don’t know much about who runs it but they are SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWW with the news..
#33 I love Alexandra Burke
I watched all her performance’s I can’t wait till she comes to America.
C.L.?????? Yall here today??? I done checked on this site 3 times today….
@37 and 34
My job blocked YBF pictures!!! but I can still read the hilarious comments. There have been about 5+ updates today!!! What’s up concreteloop? Ya’ll are my only hope, unless I go on the paler sites…
CL done came to a stand still!
Can yall just tell us before yall take days off so we wont go through withdrawls, im itching for a beyonce rihanna comment war! lol And knowing somebody else is being tortured by finals and the holidays will make me feel better :
um concreteloop is falling off i dont have no choice but to deal with the haters at ybf!
stay alive yahll!
Dang,, I think people would at least expect a posting about a slow news day, but nothing???
I would have been more than interested to read the comments after Jamie Foxx got into Terrence Howard’s a.s.s, but nothing?????
Please don’t be like my favorite bootleg dvd shop and shut down without notice…..
FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN BLOCK AT WORK FROM ACCESS google “website proxy” you should be able to get in undetected at work.
what’s ybf???
Really? Thats Kid Sister? Are you sure thats not Claire Danes?
Why the hell has my comment been removed!!!!? Anywazy, like i was saying, are you sure thats Kid Sister? Positive that’s not Claire Danes?
umm ok, nevermind, i tried.
Oh, so now your gonna post my comments, huh, after i already look retarted having posted 3 in a row.
Yall got me f#cked up with no post in a week–Concreteloop is my crack dammit! I’ll settle for anything–”Beyonce pats her weave in walmart,” “Rihanna picks her wedgy,” SH*t, I would even settle for “Latest pics from the Flavor Flave photoshoot”—ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This just isn’t right!
lol i’ma need y’all to not put me onto another news website while CL is on hiatus… never heard of the other guy til now. gonna check it out cuz they playin over here…
What is YBF? Is that an acronym for something?
#52: Ybf = Young Black & Fabulous
Checked it yesterday seeing as CL are sleeping at the mo!!
Wow, i havent seen a new post in about 4 days…..I think i’m getting withdrawl
@ # 50 You are too funny LOL!!!! But I feel yall I’m having a withdraw my damn self. CL leaves me no choice than me start creeping with another site. CAUSE I NEED MY GOSSIP FIX NOW LOL!!!!
By the looks at the comments I’ma try YBF…..I’ll check back later….
Good look CL on the Veterans support site.. My husband just returned home from Iraq after a 15 month deployment, so I know firsthand that networks like this are a must. Thanks for letting people know a little bit about our side of the world. Keep up the good work!
“Antwan “Big Boi” Patton, one of the most prolific voices of our time”
STOP IT, JUST STOP IT
okay….. it’s official
My comment (#28) was from MONDAY!!! Here it is WEDNESDAY and still nothing new… guess I really have to start working now
OH, to those who didn’t know – YBF is cool and jumpin… the comment section always reaches 200+ no matter who the post is on
Ummmmmmm Did someone forgot to pay their bills. NO NEW POST. WTF. What a way to start the new year..Isn’t Rihanna doing something today. NOT A GOOD LOOK. And i’m not even kidding. Not even somthing explaining the reason why you guys aren’t updating the site. You try to support black business and you get Sh!t product. What would happen if you go over to People.com and there site not updated for 3 days. I’m sure atleast an explanation will be given..SAD.
yall better stop mentioning other sites CL may ban you! I knew you guys would be discussing this. I was wondering if my work computer was acting up or if it really has been a couple days since a post….I gotta be careful my job already banned facebook. I guess the good thing for me is that there aren’t many blacks at my job so there isn’t really much activity on this website for it to be flagged by IT (as I am crossing my fingers).
