In related news, Taraji is currently filming The Karate Kid with Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith, a remake of the 1984 classic.

She look thicker to me. But thats ok. Karate kid seems strange to do.
It’s Aight. Nothing Special:)
Hmm, thicker… nice… or is it this NEW MONITOR i bought!!??!!
Lovely Lady !!!
kinda like she gained weight
Her hair is really cute!
i love taraji to death and i love the hair but um.. can’t get jiggy with the outfit. but she makes sure she keeps that hair flossy huuunnaaayy!.
I wonder why J. Dakar didn’t talk about how Precious was nominated numerous times at these Independent Spirit Awards? Cause these pics arent really big news.. at all.
nice looking!

1 TIME FOR ALL THE SISTAS THAT ROCK THEIR REAL HAIR!! That extra long weave she had was ugly.
Are these really the only interesting things going on in celeb world since Sunday?
Because I’m not even almost interested in anything that has been posted since Rihanna’s cute dress and heels, but still feel the need to contribute in some way, I’ll talk about something else.
The one thing I love about this site is the ability of free speech! There aren’t any ridiculous rules about you can’t offend the site owner or that crazy crap. The owner of this site is obviously professional and knows the workings of keeping a large audience. When you cut off people’s ability to say what they want, they’ll surely flee! Plus the overall design and everything is “dope”. I hate that word, but its the most accurate description. And there are articles that touch deeper than just who is ugly and who is cute. I’ll always be a dedicated cl reader.
But since the pictures are up here why not. Taraji has come a long way since baby boy!
GOOD 4 HER
cute
Thanks J Dakar I always enjoy checking out CL!!
her hair looks nice
I strongly suggest you go to sugarloves. c o m , where i have met many single sugar beauties and rich men, who love chatting sports vedios and nice music online .. .
She looks amazing. Love what she is wearing and (damn fade in ads interrupted my typing) her make-up……
Go head Yvette!!!!!!!!! That hairstyle looks better on her round face.
What ya’ll want the chick to be super thin or something?! Dang! She look good can you say that??? Give her her props alot of black women or not super thin! It makes me mad when ya” be like oh she putting on weight and the chick is still skinny. Thick but skinny! Skinny ain’g cute on everybody and TP look good today! You go girl!
*Side note* I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morining.LOL
TPH looks nice in these pics. Her eyes don’t look as “old lady” as they usually look. I love Matt Dillion…he’s one of the cuter white boys in Hollywood.
@ 17 – Don’t you HATE them damn pop in ads?? I know I do…
This is my GIRL! I love this lady. She is so pretty rockin’ her natural hair. Go girl!
Wow, she looks really nice. I think Tarji has grown so much as an actress she has really become a fixture in Hollywood and has gained respect from her peers. Kudos to you Tarji!
I love Taraji..the lil weight actually looks nice on her.
Wish she had a better and more consistent style team tho!
I am incredibly proud of my fellow SE sistah, doing BIG thangs in hollyweird.
She’s so cute!
No more updates though? Tiger Woods? He’s black… partially..
Taraji is my hero!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE HER because she is a fabulous actress, she is funny, and she is so deserving of her new man.
Keep up the good work.
I am glad she took that long drawn out weave out… Long hair ain’t for errybody and I wish she would fix her eyebrows just a lil.. Do they have to look like mini mountains on her forehead?
DC stand up!
I like the outfit, very classy.
Beautiful lady…but in those pics, Tarji’s looking like a middle school teacher at a prom…not really lovin the look. It is what it is though. Imma NEED her to find some middle ground in fashion. She goes from catwoman to a housewive style…make a choice.
These r the only updates u guys can come up with…smh! CL is slicking 4 real!!!
slacking*
Im heading to necole bitchies site!
She looks classy and very “Lady like”! I love it when she rocks her hair instead of those awful weaves.
I think she gained a lil weight to look like a mom for the Karate Kid Movie, I like it!
But she will always be EVETTE too me! Jodi my Jodi!
Her and Matt would make a lovely couple.
Now THIS is the Taraji we know and love. Completely Classy, Conservative, Cute and yet Sassy and Sophisticated. Thumbs up!
Moms come in all shapes and sizes LOL
True but not in Hollyweird!
idk what it is …the hair or the outfit (maybe the weight gain)… but she looks 10 years older. not a good look, Taraji. she’s gorgeous, i don’t understand y she’d cut her hair like that or put on that granny outfit (nothin’ wrong with being thick tho lol).
but its all good… i still love her!
Classy lady! I’m glad there are some celebrities that are keeping a good image by keeping their clothes on. She always looks classy with a bit of sex appeal without over doing it….no massive weaves and over done make up. She represents well. I hope she doesn’t change. I use to feel that way about Vivica – but we all know how she let Hollywood get the best of her with all the plastic surgeries etc. We love you Taragi!
the quality and quantity of the posts on here are both very low lately..
so boring..
most people like myself are going to other blogs..this just isn’t doing it..
like that girl said she had to go to perez hilton lol like..
what’s really happening CL..
and @11 concrete loop censors anything negative you say about the site in the comments, constructive or not.. so i don’t know what you mean by free speech..
they ban any email of anyone criticizing them to HELP them and then delete the comments, even when they know they’re wrong..so..
they’re obviously not too professional about the users..
other than that it’s one of, if not the, most professional black blog site out.
Taraji looks very classy…Love it!!
i love the extra weight on her it fills her face out!!!! her hairstyle is bangin and she looks beautiful!!!
Taraji looks nice
Damn Matt Dillon is looking old as hell now! What happened? lol
I like her outfit a lot. Her hair also looks nice
