Eva Looks Good, she goin hard wit that lacefront, she always wears the best lace fronts that give a nice natural look and her body is fierce cant believe that girl used to be obese sometimes… smh… she is proof that with good diet and exercise anybody can get slim…
TUT @ Ashanti, not the feeling the peacock feather, that shissh is tacky as hell… and why is she arriving wid benny boom? is he her new Boo or somethin???
Concrete need to do some investigation on that ASAP…
Because Ashanti and Nelly appearances are becoming lesser and lesser and its startin to look like they broke up for real…
Ashanti is so irrelevent anyway, her music is stuck in the late 90s early 2000s.. she need to geta a grip… and settle down and have babies or somethin, nobody wanna see her ass no more

Everyone look good pretty much. I see the movie got a lot of support whether they are B, C, D list celebs, whatever. For some reason I thought it was a straight to DVD movie.
And to whoever said Eva use to be obese, are u sure? I could have sworn she said she has always been thin.
And what is up with Wood Harris, is he sick or on drugs or something? He’s looking kind of worn and tired.
Is Donald Faison fiancee pregnant? For some reason I’ve always pictured him with a sister but he got a straight white girl, not that it matters I guess.

And Eva looks much better with short hair or maybe the wig/weave whatever it is is just too full.

If you watched the series where she was in Americas next Top model you would know that she used to be fat, she even said so herself and the show actually showed pictures of her being fat…so dont try to go against me!
Shes jus proud of her weight Loss and dont want to look back to the past where she was obese, because she was at a badtime in her life then…
Some people really have short-term memories… LOL

What is going on with this where is Nelly don’t tell me they broked up for real I know I heard they broked up but I thought it was a lie Ashanti that whore get around she didn’t let the wound get heal at all I can’t believe it Ashanti and Nelly looked good together I don’t know too much about her and Benny looks kind of odd to me so I guess it was true Nelly did cheat on her but Ashanti needs to let the wound heal she move too fast.

Eva looks gorgeous, long hair or short. She’s a naturally beautiful girl and even seems to be pretty humble, something far less beautiful celebrity women should try to emulate….

Lol at the person who said Benny Boom is married….. AND!!!!! LOL
People you know Ashantis history…, Look @how she slept with Irv Gotti and had a relationship wit him for over 5 years.. and he was married wit kids.. That Gurl is caniving and Sly! Gettin involved wit a man that is married means nothin to Ashanti,Theres somethin Odd about them two…

Now that’s how u fill out a suit fellas!- talkin bout Benny Boom (I hope Nick C is somewhere takin notes)
Who is Benny married to? Imma need a pic asap cuz brother is fuyine and I aint the only one that notice. I see how Shanti all cozy, (are her an Nelly still together)
I usually dont really notice Ashanti’s attire but I like her look here because she looks fresh and stands out amidst all the drab gray and black (that girl in the pink dress looks odd)
Black love in the House! - That pic of Mike Epps and his wife is beautiful especially close up.
I usually love or at least really like Eva’s style and her and Lance together BUT not on this occasion. Her hair is TOO much for her petite face and frame imo it overwhelms her & lance look a little too space age or somethin for my taste. well her mostly.
Denyse is a beauty as is Larysa or whatever the girl in the white an gray dress. alright back to work

And nobody’s trying to hide or stand to the side, they right up in there front and center showing how much they love those Women !!! I LUV IT !!! Simply Beautiful. Luv to see Good Representation if you feel me.

Eva is stunning! To the person who said she used to be obese, I think you might be confusing her with Bre. Bre was heavy until she got to college and that’s when she lost weight.

??? Is Ashanti in this movie, if not then why is she arriving with Benny… Did I miss the memo. are her and Nelly still a couple??? Just wondering.
Eva - She looks great… I’m glad she got the butt implants… Her and Lance are Beautiful I cant wait to see what their future kid looks like
Benny - Is still FINE
Wood - Is so very sexy.
Lastly - Is that the Real New York from flava of love commenting… —- If so, let me be the first to say you always look a mess on these sites and the fake boobs was not a good look, they make you look fat… So talk about others real celebs if you must but please look in the mirror first… Buy your mom a mirror too… Call me a Hater if you feel but I’m speaking the TRUTH girl you look a H.A.M most of the time.. lol

WAAAAIIITTTT! Wood Harris is married?! I’m heartbroken! I always thought he was sexy! What, Darrin isn’t married anymore?? Woooow! He always looked fine on ‘Soul Food’. I can’t believe Chi is married to Julissa who used to be on BET on the black version of The View w/Kym Wheatly and Vanessa Bell-Calloway. Every time I see Clifton Powell, I think of him as Cutty saying, ‘Don’t you EVER bite the hand that feeds you!’

Ashanti must not be dating Nelly anymore. Eva is such a beauty. P.S - Donald Faison’s fiancee is also Jessica Simpson’s best friend Cacee Cobb (know that b/c she was on the Newlyweds a lot) I used to love that show

Everybody looks fresh, funky, dope! I like it! But why th ehell is Ashanti like the headliner of this event? Is she the producer, starring in it, or what? And why o why my baby, Wood Harris< gotta look like that?!

Awh Chi, take off the members only sweatsuit jacket please!
And Sticky Fingaz still holdin on out…Slam, …..let the boys be boys lol
Lastly, I see ol’ Donald luvs the white chicks huh, I’m not mad, just mentioning..he divorced one and on to another less than a little over a year lawd…go take care all them damn kids ‘ ol butt have lmbo

Definitely going to see this comedy just b/c I like Mike Epps and Wood Harris (Wood is a very fine brother
I like his flow)
But, when I first saw this I was like Damn who is Ashanti with! I did not know that Benny Boom was fine! And he and Ashanti look so good together. If Shanty and Nelly did break up she did an upgrade (not dissing Nelly) but I would have been upset if she got with Jay-Z’s twin or something. But, they do look GOOD together.
Everyone else looks good.
Oh, by the way Donald Faison has always been into white girls he even got a kid by one.

People kill me. First off everyone looks nice. IT’S FUNNY HOW PEOPLE CAN SIT BEHIND A COMPUTER AND TALK ABOUT CELEBRITIES (WHO THEY WANT TO BE) WHEN NO ONE CAN SEE HOW THEY LOOK. AND NELLY AND BENNY BOOM ARE FRIENDS HE HAS DONE 8 OF NELLY’S VIDEO’S INCLUDING BODY ON ME, STEPPED ON MY J’S. jUST BECAUSE THEY ARE IN A PIC TOGETHER DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARRIVED TOGETHER. SHE MORE THAN LIKELY ARRIVED BY HERDELF AND SAW HIM ON THE RED CARPET AND TOOK A PICTURE WITH HIM SINCE HE’S HER MAN’S FRIEND AND PROBABLY HER FRIEND TOO. RUMORS ALWAYS START TO FLY THAT NELLY AND ASHANTI BROKE UP JUST BECAUSE WE HAVEN’T SEEN PICTURES OF THEM AS OF LATELY. THAT’S PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY DON’T HAVE CAMERA’S WAITING ON THEM EVERYWHERE THEY ARE LIKE OTHER CELEBRITY COUPLES DO. i THINK NELLY AND ASHANTI ARE STILL TOGETHER AND WHEN A BIG EVENT COME UP FOR HER OR A BIG EVENT COME UP FOR HIM WE WILL SEE PICTURES OF THEM. aSHANTI MAY BE A LOT OF THINGS BUT I DON’T THINK SHE’S A HO.
