Here is your girl Lil’ Kim at a party over the weekend that honored the great Nelson Mandela. Are you feelin’ her “turned out” Hollyweird swag? New nose, check. New rack, check. Long weave, check. Skin lightener, check. Chin, maybe. SMH. Kim’s steez reminds us a little of the sad story of MJ. We are going to keep Kim in our prayers. Poor thang.

Alicia Keys and more under the hood

    PLASTIC!!!!!!!!!!

  • Yes Indeed

  • mcleod10

    she looks cute!

  • AU NATURALE

    Yeah she wanted to be white for a while. SMH. This is so damn sad.

  • getagrip

    Kim has had identity issues for awhile now. It’s nothing new. I stopped feeling sorry for her a long time ago, but y’all keep praying for the poor thing, ok?

  • hope4more

    What’s happening, are there any rappers left on New York anymore. Diddy,Kim, Eve, Faith all in Calli.

  • What’s In My Head?

    This chick needs to read a book about African/Black history so she’ll know that the real beauty is found within the darkest (skinned) people of the world. That’s why white people steal so much from us and try to be like us.

  • the_one

    If I was Nelson I would be angry they let this trasj box perform on my birthday sorry!

  • Moreaces

    Honestly, this is the nicest pic I’ve seen of her in a long, time, Not sure if it is a white look she is going for, but she surely don’t what to look like what God sent her here looking like.

  • the_one

    At least she word clothes this time.

  • mz.cee ♥

    I wonder if this chick still has some cash to her name, looks to me like its all been spend on those surgeries and the lawsuits! Truly a sad reminder of MJs story….

  • I go deep yes you fill it in ya stomach just relax

    looks like a tranny to me old kim was cute this half and half here is not.

  • PUSSYCATFUN

    LIL KIM IS SO “MANUFACTURED”….WHY SHE LOOK LIKE SHE CAME FRESH FROM THE ASSEMBLY LINE!

    UGH!

    ROBO KIM.

  • Ian

    She looks similar to lots of other famous young black women today, so whats the big deal? If you are hating on her, its just because you are jealous that you either can’t afford the surgery or don’t have the nerve……….Girl’s got talent, she can sing at my birthday bash anytime!

  • 303

    self hate,
    self hate, is a people worst enemy
    now look at little kim, a black sista, who change herself into a white/asian woman, bleach her skin to look white, she is ashame of her blackness, she change her nose to took like the the white person.
    why does blackwoman wants to be white, why do blackwoman copy white people, first the wigs, then the horse hair, skin bleaching, the color contact lenes, the straighten of the nose , and then blackwoman got the nerve to be calling white folks out their names, this is the reason why white laugh at the black race, we one silly race boy…we spend our money on plastic surgery, the biggest chain, the most expensive lace front and it goes on on on on….

  • smiley

    It is a shame that we as black people fell as though we have 2 change our skin color 2 be accepted this is the world we live n I hope that she will come to grips that she was beautiful before the surgeries!!!1

  • http://BOSSIPP real

    KIM’S ISSUES ARE NO DIFFERENT FROM THE REST OF HOLLYWOOD’S THERES NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIGHTENING YOUR SKIN,BOTOX,FAKE BOOBS,FAKE NOSES ECT SO WHY DO WE CALL OUT CERTAIN PEOPLE.THE ONLY THING KIM’S LOOK LIKE MICHEAL JACKSON IS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE.SHE LOOKS UNHEARD OF.I’M TIRED OF EVERYBODY PROMOTING PLASTIC SURGERY. DOP (DEATH OF PLASTIC SURGERY) EVERYBODY LOOKING LIKE CHUCKIE’S BRIDE.LIKE STUFF THE MAN ABOVE WOULD NEVER CREATE.

  • the_one

    Ian STFU, how do you hate on someone who hates themselves, you sound so stupid, I do not like Kim because she is a perpetrator of the worst kind, a self hating black female, who talks about b.s. She is not talented, if you think that is talent you must also worship the gutter trash boxes (you probably like Souljah Boy)because there is nothing about that tramp or your assessment of her that isn’t b.s. God made us beautiful how we are who the hell are you to change what he did plastic surgery are for low self esteem itches male and female. Shwe should have used that money on a good “black” therapist.

  • the_one

    Black Gold, LOVE YOU!

  • mali

    LMAO, im sorry but the REAL story here is Miss Aretha Franklin!!! what in the hell is going on with them boobies, WHY WHY WHY hasnt anyone banned her from wearing “spaghetti strap” ANYTHING!!! I know shes the Queen and all but come the f*ck on yall, Poor josh groban (spelling?) looked embarassed & horried HAHAHAHA…OK ok ok on to Kimmy, we all know she has major self issues, the damage is done in terms of physical (she cant reverse) lets pray that she comes to recognize her beauty & love herself as she is..lets also give a lil encouragement & credit, this is the best she looked in a min, prolly the best since changing up god given features, so good on ya Kim…work what u have

  • Brooklyn, Stand UP!

    Looking Good Queen Bee!!

  • http://BOSSIPP 1of50

    Skin color , this chick have been through the works.It don’t start or stop at skin color.so why are people stuck on the skin color thing out of about 50 different types of procedures.

  • Just Sit And Be Pretty

    Aretha…are u serious??!?!? Beyond ridiculous!!

  • Angee

    Ohh Aretha,

    Spaghetti straps are not your friend!!

  • Monica

    Whatever! I met Lil Kim and she is the sweetest!

  • Monica

    This can also apply to all the people who say black men wanting black women doesnt effect anyone..Well here is your proof

  • soulJourneys622- India said a butterfly is a soulbird…watch me fly

    Kim is half Native American so I can’t comment on her wanting a Spanish chick to play her…maybe that was the closestshe thought Hollywood would allow. She actually looks much better in these pics…IMO I think Ms. jones may have gotten the hint she was fine just as she was.

  • Redd Foxxx(Pretty Wings)

    She looks similar to lots of other famous young black women today, so whats the big deal? If you are hating on her, its just because you are jealous that you either can’t afford the surgery or don’t have the nerve……….Girl’s got talent, she can sing at my birthday bash anytime!

    LMMAO @ this statement! What makes her ashamed of being Black? Surgery jealous please!! Kim is a rapper! Not a singer! Why would anyone want to change their appearance i.e nose job because they are brainwashed!! Look @ MJ Again I say what makes you ashamed of being Black!?

  • soulJourneys622- India said a butterfly is a soulbird…watch me fly

    now Aretha….she needs intervention…she is huge…I am afraid for her health…we do not need to lose another African American great.

  • http://BOSSIPP pop

    As far as Kim K we all seen the UNPHOTOSHOPPED picture of her that leaked so her real look and real body is no secret.So get over Kim

  • ILuvNeyo

    I saw the show and she Lil Kim and Cyndi Lauper were horrible. Alicia and everyone else did great..

  • Kigali-INTERdependent Black Woman) RIP MJ

    Its so funny how you females react to Lil Kim obviously trying to look like some she is not as being self hate but when you even sense that you believe a white woman wants to be or look black, you never call it self hate. Lil Kim looks like most black females out there on the street except that she has had surgery. So the next time you accuse some white woman who takes a trip down to the tanning salon remember Lil Kim and every other black females who racially tweak.

  • L bka Mrs. Philly

    TRAGIC

  • rebecca

    she looks good to me but that top looks like something beyonce would wear while performing…lol

  • This Long Distance is @ work :(

    MJ wasn’t trying to be white. He had a disease in which he used cream to even out his skin tone. Would you being the most famous man on the planet want to walk around looking like a zebra?

    Lil Kim has issues..

  • http://bossip miss dior

    Kim…ENOUGH of the surgeries.

    LMAO @ the denial MJ had a disease (No direspect to MJ) but you are in denial hun MJ bleached himslef. He wanted to look white sorry I know the truth hurts. He was a beautiful man but he couldnt see that because of what he thought was beautiful! SMDH!!!

  • bcan

    she does look the best she’s looked in a long time here since she’s got on the PS train. i feel sorry for kim & i hate that she believed every hateful thing that someone must have told her when she was coming up. its really sad & again, I fault the people around her as well. I don’t care how much celebrity you have, there has to be someone there to tell you this is too much, this is not right for you. you need to go to conseling, something.

  • holy rola

    damn! is there more than one person in Areatha’s dress/tent?

  • CAT EYES

    How sad that Kim hates herself that much to chop herself up and bleach herself.She was a very pretty woman before she did any of this.Self hatred should be a sin.

  • 6 Figgas

    Try as she may to jump ship (and much to her dismay), Lil’ Kim will always be a negresse. Guess we all have our crosses to bear…

  • Wendy

    See looks like sheis trying for the Kim Kardashian – Vanessa Bryant (Kobe’swife) look

  • starlite

    I remember reading an interview in some magazine years ago,(before she had all this plastic surgery), and her repsonse to one of the questions,( I think the ques. had to do with men/dating,I can’t remember). Anyway she said she always felt that men (black men) were always attracted to the European look, she felt that that image was desired by most men. So I guess that was the start of her journey into transforming herself into a European. I believe she is attention seeking and also has identity issues. It almost seems as if she ‘believes in her head’ that she is Kim K!!! She sees the attention Kim K(who is not that pretty IMO) receives and she just went to town with it!!She may be a tad bit delusional as well. So sad to see black men and women morph themselves into something that they are not, just because society creates these images that white is right. It’s disgusting.

  • sexylexis hates michael vick

    I can’t believe Kim did this. This does not rep BK.

  • Speaking the truth…

    Actually she looks really really pretty in that pic with Cyndi Lauper…BUT..this whole lightening your skin???What is that all about?

  • devils advocate

    she’s the female michael jackson (r.i.p.)

    Wooooooooooow!
    And that is SO sad!!
    NO WAY, i want to alter my body nevermind SKIN TONE to appease other people! I’m fine just as God made me! So sad the psychological struggles that some weak-minded, easily influenced people have to go thru!! One thing i’m incredibly greatful/thankful for….my SANITY!!

  • Just Me

    @ Monica

    Whatever! I met Lil Kim and she is the sweetest!
    _________________________________________________

    What does lil kim being “sweet” have to do with her self image?! It is OBVIOUS that Kim is doing the exact opposite to her body that God intended. I dont have to go thru the check list of things she changed, but yes, people talked about her before the surgeries but not as being ugly, they criticized her raunchiness. Now people can criticize her raunchiness, tackiness, and looks.

  • NB

    Cyndi looks great for 50 or more she looks betetr than Madonna does who will be 51 in August and is so into her looks and fitness.

  • Caramel Cat

    I’ll admit, Kim actually looks very pretty here. But, she doesn’t look like herself. So, that takes away from her appearance because we all know what she USED to look like and it’s so obvious that she wants to skew her ethnic features away. Kim, sweetie, if you are reading this, you look good, but you truly don’t look yourself…..

  • http://www.makemoneylikemenow.blogspot.com Diva

    I do believe that Lil’ Kim has self hate issues with being black, but you cannot sit her & say that she doesn’t look good! She has finally got her look together the way she wanted it to be. Unlike Joan Rivers or Barbara Waters (one of them white hoes) Who is starting to look monkey-ish! I think Lil’Kim has grown up & is more mature now & she has her new body,face skin to prove it!! Stop hating!!

  • DR.FUNK

    Kim’s rack & liposuction game are on point.I’d hit it.

  • dee

    I’m a white chick on this site and I think Kim is beautiful. She looks great and she is still a black chick. Nothing will change that, she’s a knockout. BLACK, WHITE OR LATINO it doesn’t matter, just love yourself and be a good human being. She’s beautiful and talented, be proud of her. It’s hard to be in the business she’s in. I’m sure she takes care of her family. BE PROUD BLACK AMERICANS…….

  • HOOD DIVA

    @DeE….gurl you deserve a round of applause.

    Nice gravie Hannibal!

  • Hannibal

    @OSHIE

    THANX! CAN’T SAY THE SAME FOR YOURS LMAO!!!

  • YanB

    Personally, I don’t mind Lil’ Kim because at least she seems to be a little more open about her uncomfort. Now if you say Beyonce who has clearly demonstrated odd behavior especially with the Feria Ads…everyone gets all defensive and those stupid “stan” people come out of the wood-works. If you will talk bad about Lil’ Kim then why not Beyonce or Ciara etc etc etc.

    Just my 2,3, & way too many cents.

  • YanB

    BTW, Fair & Lovely Skin Bleacher is now being sold in London. Selling off the racks just it did in India. Not how they used to do it in Jamaica huh?…With the real bleach. In any case, it still makes you hate yourself and hurt yourself all at once.

  • Amazed

    I’ve always thought Lil Kim was the piture of self-hate. She didn’t need all of that work but I guess she thinks she did. Today’s mainstream standards of beauty may be hard for everyone to achieve and sometimes we all need to find our our standard of beauty.

  • southern sway

    Let kim do her thing she can do what she wants to do no one is paying her bills or living her life to talk shit…………It’s not just a black thing u have a lot of other races trying to be everything else except for what they are meant to be but as long as they are happy that is all that should matter. It’s not just a black issue it’s every race issue. Every race have people that want to change something about themselves…white women do it all the time with the botox, sun tanning, bigger breast, lips, and butts and no one has anything to say about it until another race does it

    On Lil Kim = Over her and her issues long ago. Just another statistic to Eurocentric propaganda.

    Now ARETHA…that breaks my heart. She doesn’t look healthy at ALL. Aretha…I say this as a caring fan..

    Quit putting hamhocks in every damn thing you eat. I make a bomb salad, Ms F. My greens with turkey..my door is open! Ummm..use the back yard sliding one. The front is kinda narrow.

  • Elle’

    Wow. This is self hatred at its best. She was gorgeous when she first inroduced herself to the world but now she is a PLASTIC nightmare.

    Its sad to say but there are thousands of black women that have been convinced by the mainstream media that those big lips, hips, thighs and noses are not beautiful but they are and you should love the way GOD made you because you are unique!

  • YanB

    @Mr Straughter

    I am going to have to agree about 100%.

  • Sit yo 5$ ass own before I make some change ( Usher-Tamecka=a 1# Album)!!

  • DATPHILYGIRL

    @ IBAN you are so right…people always wanna say i you would look….like treach told lil kim when she first came out that she would be cute if she did some sit ups……so on the Mary j Blige song i can love you she mentions that she is physical fit…people don’t understand that somtimes the bullsh*t that comes outta there mouth is really hateful…..

    and a lot of dude say that to big girls….i like if i lost the weight i would look better …who is to say….cuz i have seen some heavy mf lose weight that they really needed all because someone said yeah you’d be cute if this n that….

  • cdotnik

    Lil Kim has some serious self esteem and color issues. She always wanted to be light skinned and now she is doing all she can to try to portray herself as such. Even her make up is horrid. Ugh she need’s the Lord and an excellent psychiatrist.

  • rachel

    Actually, she has her color back now so she looks great , about a year ago she was pale as hell , dont know if she was going through skin peels back than,,,she did look real bad, but now with the darker skin she actually looks real cute even with the over knifed up nose,,,but she’s ok.

    on some real sh*t, as long as she’s not hurting anyone, I can’t be mad. I think she was just very hurt over Big’s death and this is how she’s dealing with it.

    On an opinion based part though, I hate weave. I hate makeup. I have anything false to enhance yourself. The only extra stuff I condone are braces.

  • KaL

    I actually saw Kim in person at this very event,because I was serving as a freelance reporter,in person she actually is about a shade or 2 darker.

  • Color Contact Lens….Check

    Cheek implants….check. Geez, what didn’t she have done?! I thought she looked better when she was black. But, she just kept feeling like her darker complexion didn’t look right with the platinum wig. And she was right! Hell, my lighter complexion wouldn’t look right with a platinum wig.

    At least she got her knifed up face corrected to look better than the botched job they gave her before. And I’m soooo glad she got rid of that Chester Cheese makeup. I had now idea that you could buy foundation in the Ooompa Loompa color.

    My heart just breaks for her. She doesn’t realize that she was already beautiful before she did that to herself. Does anyone else think the timing of her “transformation” coincides with those whole ‘stomach pumping’ stories a while back? …

  • parisienne

    The people defending her must be doing the same thing to her skin. She was never dark but she was brown and has gotten all manner of nose jobs to get that michael jackson style nose not to mention cheek implants, 4 foot weave etc.. its sad. however as someone mentioned why keep focusing on sellouts like LK? why not talk about other blacks?
