    Jen over doing it. She not looking to good. Everybody not meant to be skinny boo. Word is hubby not digging new look. Some men like meat on they women bones. Being skinny doesnt mean your happier its about healthy living.

    • Class Act

      Stop hatin’! she looks good…..nothing wrong with being a normal weight. I’m pretty sure her boyfriend loved her big and he still loves her now that she is healthier.

    • THECONCRETELOOPIST

      STFU Passion!!! J-Ho looks great! Her body is smaller than Bey, now! Get it gal!!!

    I think Jennifer looks fine. She’s stated that she’s a size 6 on Wendy’s show, and at 5’9 she’s well-proportioned for her height. Any man that wouldn’t be supportive of his woman living and looking healthier has some insecurity issues. David probably thought he had it in the bag that although successful, J-Hud was too overweight for a lot men to be attracted to her. I’m still on the fence about him anyway. He will always seem shady to me since he once competed to win New York’s fame, errr…I mean, heart.

    Wow so the feud between aguilera and mary j is over I guess? You know Mary J couldnt dtand aguilera cuase girl was rude and was egocentric! Im glad now auilera with life experiences humbled herself! Eveyone looks fine to me!

  7. PhillYGurl

    So over JHud.. Ok she lost weight and she is living a healthier lifestyle. But please BYE GURL. And La La dress looks homemade. On another note everyone else looks nice, for a great cause.

    J Hud looks stressed, what littl kid made LaLa’s dress?, Russels Simmons needs to stop dating high school students when he’s pushing 60. Mary J looking a little hood and rough around the edges, Christina is looking thick for a white girl not that that’s bad just an observation, and Corrine looks nice but is it me or does she always have this spaced out, high as a kite, “whoa dude” expression on her face? LeToya Luckett was the best dressed and most presentable at this event HANDS DOWN. She looks so stunning and well put together

    love kerry washington’s dress! also I like Jill scotts new do- sometimes a change is necessary.

    So I didn’t even recognize Jhud- I think it’s great that she’s at a healthy weight, however I don’t think she’s dressing for her new size properly. I think she should get some more fun/flirty clothes with color to show off her body, and update her hairstyle -the long weave ages her IMO.

  10. Surprise

    Letoya’s shoes are hot. Mary J and Kerry have on the same shoes. Jill Scott looks lovely. I guess Russell Simmons will never dress like a grown man and when he does he still wears tennis shoes with his suits. HMMM. J Hud looks nice, but I’m stillnot feeling the hair. JMO

  11. getgot

    I luv this lady….she gives back and you can tell its not a front.

  12. NINI LOVE

    EVERYONE look great…SO WHAT U CAN SEE JENNIFERS EXTRA SKIN, DAMN WHO CARES DO YOU SEE THAT NEW BODY?! SHE KILLEN EM’ GEESH STOP WITH ALL THE ARMPIT SKIN COMMENTS, SO WHAT SHE WAS SUPER BIG AND NOW SHE IS SUPER SMALL SO OF COURSE SHE IS GONNA HAVE A FEW REMINDERS TO LIVE WITH OR DEAL WITH…WE HAVE ALL SEEN SOME “ALWAYS” BEEN SKINNY WOMEN WITH A WHOLE BUNCH OF ARM JIGGLE AND THEY WERE NEVER BIG! DAMN GIVE HER SOME LOVE SHE HAS BEEN THROUGH A LOT

  13. PHILLY__STAND UP...

    more black women needto lose weight like jhud

    • gg boo

      I think more black people should just live a healthier lifestyle overall, but dude you been to the hood lately? No banks, no grocery stores no nothing. Jhud is gorgeous but she also has access to a lot of resources. Your comment was meant to be rude but it’s ok.

  14. ken

    LeToya looks great!!!!!

  15. clemencizm

    corinne bailey rae looks, as usual, classy in her simplicity.

  16. Keepsitreal

    Is it me or does Jennifer Hudson starting to look like Beyonce? Out of the two Jennifer definately sings better and has more range. But after her weight loss she looks more like Beyonce than herself. You can lose weight but just dont lose yourself or bow down to the pressures of the industries. JILL has lost weight and REALLY looks good but you dont see her walking around with a TON OF HAIR on her head. She’s STILL JILL!!

  17. LIL MARY

    does anyone know what dress Mary is wearing? please email me if you can or jus reply right under this thank you!! lotss

  18. JDub

    Kerry Washington killed it, edgy and fashionable, Latoya looked okay, the dress is just the normal black celebrity gear look.

  19. Wow

    LeToya looks absolutely beautiful. I feel like her looks are overlooked a lot. I mean, she’s practically the black barbie…look at her! I’m blown away. I a little less makeup would have been cool but overall she looks good as hell.

  20. Beautiful

    GO MARY GO MARY! SEE U SOON AT THE 2011 ESSENCE MUSICAL FEST! JILL LOOKS REALLY GOOD. S/O TO J HUDSON BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMEN!

  21. Ethanmama

  22. MINDFUL

    lala looks a mess with that homemade dress on

  23. TARA (Rebel to the Madness...)

    Kerry Washington, attractive!
    Jill Scott, I like the new haircut.
    Corrine Bailey Rae, I have n’t seen/heard of her since last year with her last album. Nice to see her again.

  24. j-tay

    everyone looks good.. fyi j-hud is not smaller than beyonce..lets not exaggerate.. and next time you wana be flawless and classic.. dont do the lace front.. its looks soooo tacky..thanks in advance!

  25. KimmiBlanco

    umm Jennifer Hudson is smaller than beyonce. #ImJustSayin

  26. twesley

    @J-Tay,

    Jennifer is smaller than Bee because of her height. Jennifer is taller than Bee.

  27. bwill

    kerry(washington)looks hot as always. as long as she looks good then the show can go on.

  28. The Beautiful One

    I love Kerry Washington’s look, except the top half of the dress is a bit too revealing but it’s still cute.

  29. Smopsjohanne
