    LisaRaye can really retire the white. It’s not a hot color on her.

  7. Stenz

    woooooo!!!I came acorss a great hot PLACE.

    If you put “A G E” and “M IN GLE” together, then you will get the url.

    It’s a nice and free place for Younger- Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends

  9. who?

    Keith Sweat can still get it!!!!!!

    I see his ex-wife is there as well

  10. WillPwr

    I enjoyed Friday night = Janet straight killed ‘em!

    I don’t know how in the hell Raphael Saadiq was allowed on the main stage and who invited Uncle Charlie back again? He was just there last year doing the same set, same clothes, same dances, etc.

    Essence please bring Stevie Wonder next year. *kneels to pray*

  11. Chase

    Wow Micheal is getting big.. he wasnt always that size .. Was he??

  12. skinnyredchick(NEWORLEANSBOUND)

    Michael Ealy is looking so sexy..face wise.

  13. Beihardcore

    lol @3… ok shonty graham! :-)

  14. Kyla

    Boris is looking fine but Michael Ealy .. what movie is he going to be in?
    Michael is not looking good right now.

    Tameka “Raymond” …

  15. Beihardcore

    angel should do a “who rocked it better” between me and ruben’s wife.. i mean, I aint no celebrity..but i BETCHA I would get the most votes..

  16. luvbug

    OK EVERYONE, THERE IS MICHAEL EALY FROM “BARBERSHOP”. NOW PUT HIS PICTURE BESIDE NAHLA AND U WILL SEE WHAT I HAVE BEING SAYING ALL ALONG. LOOK AT THE EYE COLOR AND THE NOSE. GIRL EYE COLOR IS THE EXACT SAME COLOR AS MICHAEL’S. TOLD YALL I BELEIVE THAT CHILD IS HIS. HALLE WAS DATING THAT BOY AND SNEAKING AROUND WITH HIM WHILE SHE WAS WITH GABRIEL.

  17. luvbug

    Everybody looks great, can’t believe I am seeing Keith Sweat and Al B up there. Shame you hardly ever see Al B with his son. Letting P Diddy lead his child down the wrong path. As for Rueben, it is amazing how quick you can snap up a cute wife when you have a little money,lol. Even though Rueben is handsome, that country bumpkin wouldn’t have looked his way once if he didn’t have a little cash.

  18. luvbug

    Nope, Michael’s and Nahla eye color is different…….does that matter? Do white people kids have different color eyes? I don’t know. Maybe she is Gabes, lol.

  19. Tiff.Will. [Tiffany.Williams]

    “Comedian” Lil Duval? Could’ve fooled me. He is so corny.

    LisaRaye is always wearing white. Love her.

    Michael Ealy…that’s all I have to say.

    Niecy is obnoxious as hell. Her voice is so piercing..but I like her.

    @ANGEL

    Under NeNe’s photo you put “Tameka Raymond”

  20. Ladyssolady

    Keith Sweat and Raphael Saadiq are nice looking older men. I’ve see RS live and he looks great. Ed is sexy. Ruben’s wife is pretty. Kenya and LisaRaye look good.

  21. Mrs. sk8board p (ak & bk stan)

    @ LuvBug.. that little girl looks exactly like her father… except she has Halle’s nose. She looks nothing like Michael Ealy.

    NeNe needs to get another hair piece. Switch it up.
    Boris looks good.
    Lisa Raye always looks the same. I like her shoes though.

  22. Jazz

    I would like to see LisaRaye in color for ONCE! She’s ALWAYS wearing white.

  23. hmmmm

    Ruben looks great with his new weight loss. his wife is cute. everyone looks great. i love al b sure still. Ugh Nene Leakes why did you mess your nose up?!?!?!. You looked great before . now you trying to be hollywood with the nose job. ugh!

  24. kay

    lisa raye’s shoes are hot diff would wear thoes :-) , keri is so pretty

  25. Flo

    Al needs to be sure he goes on a diet. Omarassa could be Tameka’s mom or older sister or suninin (lolol)

    Boris’s wife better watch him. Keri is pretty young and no children. Im sure he’s enjoying that “innocent” hug.

    Kenya is so pretty but that weave takes away from her terribly

    I don’t like to gossip. lmbao

  26. Smonty1227

    yeah but BeiHardcore she at da party! lol. (not at you)

  27. tata

    Ruben is my inspiration…

  28. NOTE:

    Everyone looks like themselves…its nice.

  29. My Soul Aint For Sale

    OMG LISA RAY’S SHOES ARE GORGEOUS!!!! CAN SOMEONE PLEASE FIND OUT WHO MADE THEM????

  30. ILUVMESUMBORIS!

    ~~~~~~~~BORIS~~~~~~~~

  31. Surprise

    Lisa Rae: Shoes on point with out the white clothes always.

    Shaun Robinson: I think she’s too thin

    Lisa Wu Hartwell and hubby: Look nice but I bet that made for an uncomfortable night with Keith Sweat there. LOL

    NeNe: Shoes on point

    Ruben: His wife lost alot of weight too, and so what if she got her dress from TJ Maxx is that crime, just because they have a little bit of money.

    Everyone else looks nice

  32. Mr. Brown Eyes

    All party and no business. I don’t get it. I wouldn’t go to it. I wouldn’t even dress casually. I’m from the slums. Are you frickin’ kiddin me? People are fake and they need to be clipped. Robinson thought she could hustle an Arab leader. She was dead wrong. You don’t hustle a king. Especially a drug king. Easiest way to get blown up.
