EVENT PICS: TONI BRAXTON ATTENDS & PERFORMS @ LUPUS LA ORANGE BALL
Friday, May 29, 2009

Toni Braxton and her husband Keri Lewis poses on the red carpet at the 9th annual Lupus LA Orange Ball at the Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons Hotel on Thursday night in Beverly Hills, California. She also performed at the event.
The singer recently started a twitter page and announced that she will have a special message for everyone. Most likely it has something to do with the new album she is working on.

To me, it doesn’t look like she had work done. She looks nice and young. I don’t like the wig, but that can be changed.

I love Toni!!! Maybe it’s because people say we look alike : )
But seriously her music is really good…her last one from back in 2005 (can’t remember the name) was really good : )

She has NO comeback! Not hating but NO ONe is THAT interested in her anymore. Sad but true!
Keri sure has aged… they need to get Mint Condition back together so that he has something to do!

Toni has not had any work done. She has always looked beautiful. The wig needs some work, but she is still a DIVA!

She looks beautiful not sure what yall are talking about. I could pass on the wig but other than that, she looks nice and still youthful. Damn if her and her sister cant pass for twins then I know something!

Toni looks really good. I love the colorful dress. I am glad to see she and Keri are doing well.
Uhhh… Jackie Brown (#2)… Toni has not had any work done. Can’t a celebrity look good and youthful without being accused of plastic surgery? You must be 25 with wrinkles… hater.
#5, I don’t like the wig either. Like Halle Berry, I think Toni Braxton looks prettier with short hair. I see Halle reverted back to the shortcut… Toni should, too.

Isnt Keri only 40? Is he prematurely gray? A full gray beard seems weird to me.
I thought Toni took out her implants after 1 busted? The right breast looks higher in her cheast in these pics.
I dont like Toni’s wig but obviously she does.

Hating is not a beautiful thing. Toni looks beautiful and those commenting about how horrible she looks I would love to see what you look like. To the person who said no one is interested in Toni anymore I beg to differ maybe you’re not interested but don’t speak for those who are because some of us like to hear people who can actually sing. Toni is 41 and still looks like 30, it’s not plastic surgery, it’s genetics which some of us have. Note for the day if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all, negativity is not cute. Even if Toni never sells another record she will still have way more money in the bank than those of you claiming no one cares anymore. I care and I think Toni is one of the most beautiful celebrities on the inside and out.

Daggums if you under 25, no one is checking for ya! lol If you gain a lil weight, you are busted! lmao Woo… we sure bring down our people and we call this a YES WE CAN YEAR. Get on your conscious grind… stop the foolery! Concrete Loop keep pushing those artist seasoned cause we need that, my staff and I are doing the same. Your’e not well rounded in this industry as media/journalist/bloggers if you don’t. I come through alot jus don’t comment but I had to drop some lines.
SOME of yall want artist to go away after being seen on tha scene, dropping albums in succession or endorsed. Like you go to your 9 to 5, it’s call paying the bills, gotta eat and I am all for MY PEOPLE to eat. Feel that? Let’s slow down on some of this JADE. Ladies… um ladies???? anyway I will call some of you ladies for GP- you all talk quick about lace fronts, she’s rocking a weave. I wonder how many of you would check your granny’s hair additions she puts on during the week for for Sunday Services? ( if she rocked them ) — none with respectful good sense. I know someone in your family rocks hair additions. The Caucasian Persuasian has been doing the rocking of hair additions for ages but their code isn’t to make it news… Who cares? Everyone rocking weave’s aren’t bald, and just cause someone’s been off the major scene doesn’t mean anything. Our Jaders don’t want to celebrate anyone with a longevity in their respective careers. Sad. Next, yall gonna be talking ooh we sick of CL and other media persons trying to make things happen for US. New form slavery, We’re a lil scared of the success some of these entertainment sites are getting exposing persons of color celebs. We shouldn’t be so scared though cause their people comment so bad on them, it’s not worth it ot elevate them in anything ( ie. more tasteful black movies, less cancellation of OUR shows on tv, and more ) See where I am going with this? More are coming here to check out comments of the other persuasion and happy indeed we keep putting OUR people down. Now those with foolery, hey, do your thing. Freedom of expression I am not knocking it but let’s class up a lil. My thoughts… I am remembering TI’s track
MY LIFE YOUR ENTERTAINMENT. Those with the focus will keep grinding. Concrete Loop/Angel you rock! Much respect for your hustle. My people will be in contact for a showcase of you soon. TONI, many welcome you back -BebeNoire

Toni is looking great to me too I don’t know about the first few comments that said she looks bad because I don’t see it. She looks young and refreshed now her husband on the other hand looks like he just let himself go he looks so weird almost like a totally different person from when he was the leading man in her video “he wasn’t man enough for me”. I see father time can be some people bestfriend (Toni) and other people worst enemy (her husband).

I cannot wait till Beyonce and Rihann turn 40 and see what they will look like. I know it won’t be as pretty as Toni.
Plastic surgery? Who cares Toni’s looks great she hasn’t gown overboard. Mariah, Whitney, Janet, Beyonce, Kelly Rowland and more have all had some type of surgery. Get over it, it’s hollywood. Even Angela Basset had some. It doesn’t take away from the fact that Toni Braxton is a beautiful woman and very talented and I am glad that she’s married, not acting crazy in the news, and always positive. Some of you haters need to learn from her instead of being negative all your lives. Keep doing your thing ma. Stop on them haters #2 with your expensive shoes while #2 Jackie Brown is still working at Kmart eating up all the snacks.

IF YOU THINK THAT TONI AINT AD NO PLASTIC SURGERY, THEN YOU AZZ IS BLIND AND IN DENIAL…
NO WAY DID TONI LOOK LIKE THIS IN THE EARLY 90S
SHE HAD HEAVIER AFRICAN AMERICAN FEATURES…
MIMI YOUR PIX SHOW IT ALL
SHE IS ANOTHER LIL KIM (NOT AS DRASTIC) BUT A LIL KIM STILL.
SHE ADMIRES WHITE/HISPANIC FEATURES AND GETS MAD SURGERY TO IMMULATE THESE WOMEN..
ITS HEARTBREAKIN THAT THESE WOMEN THINK THAT LOOKIN BLACK MEANS LOOKIN UGLY…

MOST celebs had work. So who cares, find something else to hate on if you’re going to continually hate. It’s old reading the same comments from haters like yourself.

So happy to see Toni and I was just playing “The Heat” CD last weekend. We need our REAL singers to come back and I am happy them coming. Monica, Brandy, Toni…all we need now is Tamia & Debra Cox to come back. Especially to show these others how it’s done.

The wig is a disaster for someone that wore her own short style so beautifully. I don’t think she has had any work done. I just think she’s got good genes. i can’t wait to see what she brings to the table with her new music. She’s very talented and I am sure it will be great. When people get older the subject of their music changes. See if Bey can sing Single Ladies at 40 or even 30.

Anyone notice that Keri Lewis looks like the BEAST from Beauty & the Beast and Toni looks like BEAUTY from Beauty & and beast,
Look, its so obvious from his hunched back to his facial expressions and slick pony tail he so badly wants to base his looks on BEAST!

Toni looks so pretty. I have to admit I don’t like the wig though lol. Can’t wait for her new album. I’m sure it’ll be good. She’s consistent.
@8 Speak for yourself. I see why your screen name is “Hood Shit” lmao. Honey real talent will always be desired, and Ms. Braxton definitely has that. That’s the real reason urban radio has died and is about to be bought out because people are tired of hearing the same old ish. They crave quality R&B and Hip Hop. Real music fans have abandoned black radio and have either made their own mixed CDs, bump old CDs, use their ipods and satellite radio to get the real music when they want since urban radio plays the same over exposed artists all the time. So what you just said was nonsense. Actions have finally spoken louder than words and trust if urban radio wants their listeners back they’re gonna have to start being fair and display a variety of real artists with vocals again like Toni Braxton.
@52 Deborah already came back in ‘08 with an album called The Promise which is good. But she was pregnant around the time the album dropped so I think that’s why there hasn’t been much promo for it. Tamia will be on tour with this summer but I forgot who it was with. If you use a Google search I’m sure you can find the info on that. Both Deborah and Tamia are on independent labels now so they don’t have the luxury of being promoted everywhere like major artists. So it’s up to us music fans to stay updated on them because the music industry is so messed up right now many don’t have the major platforms for advertisement like the girl group on CL’s background have right now (Rich Girl).
