Go, Alicia!

And Tyra looks good too.

Fab!

Say what you want about Vivica, but she ain’t broke and she is looking good, too.

Keyshia where is Frankie? That’s my girl….she don’t be playing at all…lol Everybody looks decent.

I am loving Tyra’s dress!

She looks gorgeous!!It’s said that she had a personal blog on Interracialchatting.com with her hot pictures and blogs, a private site for diversely ethnic singles. The blog is updated very often. I think it may be ture.

For a nice change, Viv looks abosolutely gorgeous… all the ladies do for that matter…

Keyshia looks as glamorous as she can with the big ole tat. I’m impressed. Viv looks the best I have seen her look in a long time. Age appropriate is not a bad look for her. I would have like to see wear a more glamorous dress since everyone else did.

I would have like to see Jill wear a more glamorous dress since everyone else did.

alicia’s hair doesn’t fit her look

Everyone looks nice; however, I have seen Jill look much better on other occassions…but she is still my favorite female artist.

Vivica is looking good!

Not feeling Alicia or Jill’s hair.

All I can say is WOOOOOOW @ Alicia! That woman is amzing. Tyra looks great too. Vivica not feeling her face & Keyshia’s dress is ugly. Kerry…..

Why, why, why do women put these huge, ugly tats on their arms?

Keyshia could have on the prettiest gown in the world and it wouldn’t matter because that tattoo is just plain awful.

Alicia’s asian look is not cute. Tyra looks nice for a change but the feathers on the dress are a lil scary and Vivica looks decent not too plastic.. even tho we know the real.

alicia looks and vivca looks good as well keyshia cole looks uncomfortable in that dress

chingy’s face is a hot ass mess lmao

Blair looks great and Chingy is so cute!!!

And as for the rest… well, I won’t say anything at all….

Keisha Coles hair looks uncomfortable!!! ewww… so not cute.

Keys is in a Greek Goddess dress, thats not hot …she still beautiful.

Everyone looks fab! Congratulations to the award recipients

How come every time I click on the pic of Tyra to get a close up of the dress, I get a pic of her, Kimmora, Beyonce and Jay at a basketball game? BTW, Jay looks bored out of his mind with those cackling women. lol

Vivica looks A.MA.ZING. for a change. Keyshia… would have looked much better without that tat. eww.. just looks dirty, like… “you have something on your arm…oh wait, my bad, that’s your tat”

Why do women do that? So unattractive, not feminine at all and it shows that you lack class. Just eww

Idris is my baby!!!

alicia looks gorgeous!! i think that keyshia, kerry and vivica shoul’ve all swapped dresses in the back..they look uncomfortable to me..and is Jill Scott wearing hospital booties?

Alicia Keys kind of looks like Josephine Baker in her hey day.

alicia looks horrible. the “feminine” look does not work for her.

What was Cornell West honored for? Hair and beard? We know he is smart, but he needs to stfu

she looks like a boy in a dress. and the dress is ugly, too.

I am so proud of Alicia. she has done more in 6 years than most have done in their entire careers. To be honored this soon is amazing.

Everybody except Chingy looks fabulous!!! Idris & Blair KNOW they could get it lol!!! LOVE to see beautiful Black Men doing positive things. I have to say for once Keyshia Coles ACTUALLY looks classy!!! I love her music, but the rest of her look…er… And Vivica toned her sexiness down & stepped her game up!!! LOVING IT ALL!!!

Alicia is looking fabulous! Go go, girl!

Keyshia looks like she just got off the 5 train from Flatbush with that big ghetto ass tatto on her arm.

Everyone else looks ok.

Thank God TYRA got rid of that damn bang!

Alicia, Tyra, Both my DREAM GIRLS looking super FINE!!!

Alicia looks spectacular, everyone else looked nice except Chiny who apparently did not get the memo mens wear house sells, nice affordable suits.

Alicia looks like she’s been embalmed!

who dahell even invited Chingy?

Viv does look great…I hope that wasn’t her in the tape, because I don’t know how she could show her face otherwise.

Of course AKeys looks beautiful, as does Tyra.

#1- Why was Chingy in the house? Did Luda give him his ticket?

Follow up– Why wasn’t he dressed appropriately?

Alicia looks a mess and why is her eye always looking lazy? lol

Tyra hairs finally looks un-trannyish

Kiesha’s dress is nice

Vivica looks normal again

Akeys I expect better, who told her to put pounds of make up on? And take classes on how to pose you ain’t grow up that hood!

Is Cornel West wearing the same suit all the time or does he have more than one. I hope he isn’t getting an award what has he done?

Black people looking good and supporting each other; good look.

Tyra looks pretty.

Blair and Idris both look scrumptious.

Kerry looks ravishing.

SHE LOOK VERY NICE!!

BUT

WHY SHE ALWAYS SMILING LIKE SHE HAD A STROKE!!

alicia is clearly the best dressed woman out of this set of photos. she looks radiant.

What has Cornel West done? He’s only one of the most prominent scholars and thinkers alive today. I don’t agree with all of his philosophy, but I appreciate what he’s contributed to try and uplift us. If BET can honor rappers, certainly they can pay attention to a public intellectual.

For those of you who have asked “What has Cornel West done?,” add a visit to the library or bookstore to your life once in a while. Or maybe watch some

news commentary.

we need more cornel West and less ching-a-lingz

back in the day the our representatives were civil rights activists dressed in

suits and ties

and now are representatives are pimps and hustlers dressed in

clownish garb

there’s a place for everyone but we need to choose better representatives

BET Founder Slams Obama in South Carolina

By Katharine Q. Seelye

Updated COLUMBIA, S.C. — Robert L. Johnson, the founder of Black Entertainment Television, who is campaigning today in South Carolina with Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, just made a suggestion that raised the specter of Barack Obama’s past drug use. He also compared Mr. Obama to Sidney Poitier, the black actor, in “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.”

At a rally here for Mrs. Clinton at Columbia College, Mr. Johnson was defending recent comments that Mrs. Clinton made regarding Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. She did not mean to take any credit away from him, Mr. Johnson said, when she said that it took President Johnson to sign the civil rights legislation he fought for.

Dr. King had led a “moral crusade,” Mr. Johnson said, but such crusades have to be “written into law.”

“That is the way the legislative process works in this nation and that takes political leadership,” he said. “That’s all Hillary was saying.”

He then added: “And to me, as an African-American, I am frankly insulted that the Obama campaign would imply that we are so stupid that we would think Hillary and Bill Clinton, who have been deeply and emotionally involved in black issues since Barack Obama was doing something in the neighborhood –­ and I won’t say what he was doing, but he said it in the book –­ when they have been involved.”

Moments later, he added: “That kind of campaign behavior does not resonate with me, for a guy who says, ‘I want to be a reasonable, likable, Sidney Poitier ‘Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.’ And I’m thinking, I’m thinking to myself, this ain’t a movie, Sidney. This is real life.”

A former Clinton campaign official in New Hampshire had to resign last month after he publicly suggested that Republicans would probably use Mr. Obama’s drug use in his youth, which he first wrote about in his memoirs, against him.

We’ve reached out to the Obama campaign for a response.

@playlist – cosign!!

All the women’s dresses are gorgeous!

oh, GOD, so nice discussion ,but would you love enjoy something new…? it would be more interesting…sweet, hot….Wow writing words is not the same as catching my eyes and enjoying the hot video across the room and smiling interracialsingleonline.com

oh, GOD, so nice discussion , i am a movie lover, who is sweet, hot….Wow writing words is not the same as catching my eyes and enjoying the hot video across the room and smiling would you love enjoy something new…? interracialsingleonline.com it would be more interesting..

You guys are stans. A.keys look terrible. That sweaty oily face and bad makeup. That terrible bejewlwed dress! Just bad

I have seen Alicia in better gowns, and this one by farmost is the worst. It just doesn’t suit her. And that half smile that she makes is not cute either. : (

I like her music, but she doesn’t look that glamourous to me. It’s as if she’s trying too hard.

Keisha Cole needs to wear a dress that will cover that hideous tatoo. She, too, doesn’t look glamourous. Those bracelets and long earrings don’t compliment that dress.

Sorry…

alicia don’t look good from hair to makep even her dress is wrong, not feeling it at all. Vivica looks fab for a change, Keishia trying hard but that tat is not hot, i don’t know about Tyra, she pretty but theres something about the dress thats not quite right. Kerry looks lovely in that dress and although I love Jill, that dress and shoes is not what’s up.

Congrats to everyone honored. Miss. Keys looks regal. Aunt Viv doing the fab look. I guess chingy didn’t get the memo that this was a formal affair. Idris knows that suit is tailored perfectly, and I’ll be damned if Blair doesn’t get better with time. What the hell is up with Jill’s shoes?

I love Alicia and most of her garment choices….but not with that damn make-up. She looks like an old wax figure. I agree about K. Coles tatoo;it throws everything else off but she looks pretty nice. Idris and Blair are delicious (as always) Everyone else looks nice.

Tyra looks gorgeous…im loving the hair

FAAWWWWW & Geanie: SHUT IT DOWN!!! LOLOLOL!!

i can’t figure it out: does AKeys have a lazy eye, stroke eye or embalmer’s fluid in her eye?! OR, IS SHE A HOMO AND WINKIN’ AT ME???!!! eck!

^^^snoop and i look a lot alike!

A Keys dress and hair are simply elegant, but she always manages to smile croaked. It makes her appear slightly inebriated.

Tyra looks beautiful and so does VIVICA! Viv should try to capture that classy essence every time she steps in public.

Dr. Cornell West is an intellectual, so I don’t make jokes about anything he does or doesn’t do. The man is BAD!

I agree about women with those disturbing tattoos looking ridiculous. You’d never see someone like Michelle Obama’s wife sporting that. Why? Because she’s clearly a woman of grace and class. Only “ghetto” or “street” girls find that cute.

Everyone else looks nice… =)

Sorry, but I must say it again, that Vivica looks REALLY beautiful.

^^^Jan 13, 2008 – 3:56 pm

*starts sharpening spear and teeth*

Vivica is giving it up in this PIC!!!! Go VIV!!!!

alicia looks weird in that pic. i’m not feeling her dress and hair. i know she was going for elegant but its not working imo.

vivica looks so beautiful. i haven’t seen her look that good in a minute. i love the hair and the color of the dress

keyshia cole shows why big ass tats on normally exposed places like an arm are a really bad idea. she would look so much classier and better without that big thing. it’s not feminine at all.

everyone else looks really nice in their black tie attire

I think perhaps Alicia Keys’ gown is TWO pieces. Grecian women of noble birth used to wear these bejeweled collars over their gowns (I actually have one made from Pearls that is a family heirloom). i am thinking the gown & the bejeweled collar are separate. Either way I still like her total look but maybe that will help clear some things up.

Blair and Idris both look fine as hell and amazingly HANDSOME. John Legend is nicely put together.

Ok Chingy…decent attire but honey you are way underdressed. I guess he tried.

Neyo – Lose the hat. Mario…ummm I’m just not understanding what the hell is going on with what he has on

Alicia is such a pretty girl. I would wear that dress. Love it. I would love it even more if the sparkle at the top was thinner. It’s just too wide. Not feeling the hair though.

Jill…you are beautiful sweet woman but the hair, dress and shoes could have been better. Somebody messed my girl up.

Dr. West look as crazy as ever but that’s ok because what I appreciate and admire about him is his intellect and literary work.

Lastly, Vivica…well done ma.

Oh wait, I forgot about Keysh…it’s just not working from the hair to the stance. The dress would look better on someone who knows how to wear it and work it.

I studied under doctory west for 4 years. It is so good to see him getting the credit he so rightfully deserves. Especially after the harvard debacle. Please read race matters

@TJ…Lucky you. I’m sitting over here with my bottom lip stuck out mad jealous.

Race Matters. Excellent read and recommendation.

@FryeStarrter…

Gone on girl! Alicia’s dress is beautiful. I love the color.

alicia’s whole look is just a no … the hair is too old white lady and the dress would have been better without the bejeweled breast plate lol ..and her makeup makes her look like a corpse .. TOO MUCH! all the way across the board..Kerry’s dress is bangin .. very glam. suits her she should have done something different w/ the hair.. this is the BEST ive seen vivica look in a long time. this look is definitely workin for her.. tyra looks gorgeous. a lil black barbie.

Hey Pixie, yeah i love her gown & the colour is simply beautiful. I clipped & zoomed the photo because I kept thinking her adornment looked familiar & then I went & pulled out the grecian collar my Great Aunt left to me & BOOM it hit a sista lol. The dresser even took the time to pin the collar to the dress so if she moved it wouldn’t move. LOVING IT!!!

Sigh, I wore a dress similar to the one Kerry Washington has on to Phantom of the Opera in Vegas back in September, the memories from that gorgeous night. MAN I LOVE the theatre!!!

@FyreStarrter

Don’t make me have to take a trip to raid your closet.

lol gyrl most of my stuff is packed up in crates waiting for the movers to come move me across the country in 2 weeks lol. BUT you are welcome to try lol. How are YOU doing anyway?

Vivica’s MUA’s skills are on point! Personally, I don’t care for Alicia’s look, and from the looks of her facial expression, she probably didn’t like it either. I have seen STUNNING pics of her, but this ain’t one of them.

I have the utmost respect and admiration for Dr. West, but he looks like he’s about to whip somebody’s azz. Look @ his pic. His jaws are tight, teeth clenched and fists balled up. He looks like he’s about to tear bark out of a nicca up in the BET Honors…lol.

I’m not sure if I like the pic of Idris. Hold up–is that a bulge in his slacks? Damn, Idris, you got it like THAT??

lol yeah I had to check the photo again too lmao . Yeah I am relocating to the west lol, so I can stay at home more. What ends up happening is I travel overseas & then end up having to fly back to the Western US instead of where I am at now so I am NEVER home lol. Lots of clients there. So a sista got promoted & asked that common sense prevail lol & I be allowed to relocate. Boss agreed, movers came to pack me up on Friday & then they come back to ship my stuff on Wednesday. I AM OUT OF HERE lol!!! AND SO ready to go. On topic, yeah I HAD to check that photo of Idris AGAIN (and again, and again…) lmao!!!

Alicia’s hair and makeup are way too severe.. too audrey hepburn looking but without the effortless appeance. On the other hand that’s the best I’ve seen Vivica look. Jill coulda done much better and KC looks surprisingly good here and not super ghetto especially with that tat.

Congratulations!!! Sometimes a lot of traveling can be tiring and stressful. At least now, you will have more time to enjoy your home and take some time to stop and smell the roses. I hope.

BTW…Tyler Perry has a new play out.

Tyra looks good she’s getting heavier though. Vivica looks good. Jill Scott looks really rough.

Vivica has on a bad ass dress definately best dressed!!

Tyra looks simply marvelous. I don’t like all that makeup on Alicia, but she looks good. Vivica looks decent for a change. Uuugh!!! What’s up with Keisha and them nasty tatoos. I hate when women mark up their bodies. That’s not gonna look cute when she turns 50.

Alicia looks great, Tyra looks marvelous, even Viv looks great for a change…Keyshia looks ok..but she needs to wear some sleeves cause that tat looks the worst….people please think about the places you are putting your tats before inking your body….cause hers look a mess.

My favorites are Vivica and Tyra, they look so good.

SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL MS. KESHIA TO HANG THE CURTAINS UP ON THE WALL. PLEASE BE INFORMED THAT THE HEM ON YOUR DRESS SHOULD NEVER BE THAT THICK.

yall are some trips alicia looked like that lady form star wars i swear she could have did a WHOLE LOT BETTER WHOEVER STYLED HER NEEDS TO BE SHOT!!!!!!!!!!! im her biggest fan and i want to encourage her to hire someone else fast

Everyone looks lovely. I like Vivica’s dress and colour.

Alycia looks like a figure from the wax museum!

Dang!!! Why does Alicia ALWAYS have to look so damn gorgeous. Lol. She is stunning. This is the first time in a hot minute that I’ve seen a pic of Vivica where she wasn’t looking old and tired. She actually looks really pretty in this picture.

Note to Ladies: Them big ass TATS (see Kesia Cole) will never look good in formal attire.

Wow. Black Exploitation Television has loads of award shows.

I applaud Alicia for taking a risk, but that didn’t turn out well. She and Kerry “The Fashionista” Washington were in the “I Want You” video together. She should tag along on Kerry’s next shopping trip.

take the pic of lil’ kim’s cooch down!

Can someone please tell Dr. Cornel West that the “Linc” look (The Mod Squad) went out of fashion in the early seventies!

i can never forget watching vivica on ’90210′ and ‘out all night’ she is so beautiful. Vivica looks good.

Keyshia, hmmmm the hair does not match the dress and she could have worn something that would go with the tat, although i like the dress sans her tat and hair.

jill, hmmmm me no likey

Alicia, alicia alicia. ok, with the morals and intelligence you win, hands down. but ah my girl please please please, let me dress you, i am a stylist and i turn heads going to the grocery store when im wearing my dont giva clothes. my girl, i would love to be your stylist. say bet that you would be on instyle.com everytime yuh touch di road. lol. I still love you alicia. No one is perfect I guess.

@ dayg715 I Agree With Ya Some pretty girls look better as Studs then fems….ciara looks better as a stud 2

To me everyone looks good…Keyshia is looking extra lovely… is she still on tour she is racking up some good talent for her label too… I hear little comment of the hair and dress and working for her or the hem her on the dress should be like this.. the average person ain’t looking at all that.. Let’s just sit back and be proud of our brothas and sista doing their thang..
