It’s About Time
Posted by Bossip Staff
Looks like Hollyweird has some common sense after all. Angela Bassett was finally honored with a Star on the Hollywood Walk Hall of Fame yesterday. It’s about time she was recognized. Here’s to you Angela – for holding it down (for real).

Topics: Congratulations, Hollyweird
first baatches
but seriously Angela B*****ett is a great actress this is something that need to happen 10 years ago, but I am glad to see it happen.
the most gifted black actress out there ….oh and second!
It’s about time. She deserved this years ago. I’m sorry I never understood how Halle Berry ever received anything before this woman. Angela looks beautiful and I see everyone came out to support her.
CONGRATS!!!!!! Well deserved!
congrats! she still looking good!
GO Angela! She gives consistantly steller performanaces, looks great, carries herself magnificantly and holds down a Hollywood marriage! She surely doesnt get the praise she deserves. But maybe the minimal limelight is what makes her so damn great!
she should have gotton an Oscar already….for palying the role of Tina Turner, even J.hud can’t touch her….politics I tell you!
Congrats! She’s awesome, they robbed her for that Oscar (What’s Love Got to Do With It). She’s still beautiful.
But I gotta say, I saw How Stella Got Her Groove back a month ago again, and watching it as an adult it is so hilariously cheesy. LOL
This is so overdue and late! She is extremely talented actress. This is further proof how Hollyweird discriminates against many talented black females.
Go Angela!!! She is a true talent and a cl***** act.
WHAT TOOK SO LONG !! ACTIN LIKE WE BE ON CPT TIME FOR REAL
bout friggin time!
she is so happy, haha, congrats to her! I saw her movie on casualpal.com, the casual encounters there enjoy it most, thanks! she is a nice lady, to be honest!
Gotta love Angela. This is long overdue.
Angela B*****ett is so beautiful! I’m proud of and for her. Hollywood took so long to acknowledge this woman’s talent because they are so enthralled with Halle. Nothing against Halle but because she was light skinned and mixed, they acted like she was the only “black woman” in Hollywood–the only one that was acceptable anyway. Angela acted her azz off in What’s Love Got To Do With It and was overlooked, hell, her performance in Waiting To Exhale was great too (I still remember how she lit the fire to his sh*t and the way she walked away…it was BAD you hear me?!) Anyway, congrats to her because it was a long time coming!
beautiful and talented and real….a triple threat!
CONGRATS!!!!!
I am soooooooo happy for her!!!!!! I always speak on how she needs to be mentioned more for her increditble talent!!! Go angie, now lets see if we can get u an ever so deserved Oscar!
@Lady A…you know Halle got that Oscar because of her looks and because she rolled around on that floor with that white man! LOL Halle is a good actress but I never thought she was Oscar worthy. But Ms. B*****ett is the ***** and she should have gotten that Oscar for “Whats Love Got To Do With It” All the photos were nice. She has a beautiful family.
She deserves accolades, but it’s worth being noted that the ‘nomination’ process is not really tied to talent, it’s tightly wound with promotion and someone has to pay the 25k$ fee to obtain the star. It’s not free.
congratulations angela!! it is LONG overdue. and all you black idiots hatin’ on halle, she won that oscar because SHE CAN ACT. i see you rather a black woman win an oscar for getting her ***** kicked up and down a movie screen by her drug addicted black husband, then for acting, huh? yeah, that’s a GREAT representation of black people. SMH.
angela b still pretty. good job. black women stand up. *no offense white women, yall sexy too*
love the twins!!!
WELL IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME!! GO ANGELA!!
Her and Courtney’s book is a must read…’Love lessons for relationships…and life’.
*applauding Angela*
Congrats Mrs Vance you deserve it and you are the best.
Morning everyones! Happy Friday!
DAMN, she JUST got a star?!?!? WTF?! I think I saw a show where they said Britney Spears had gotten a star on the Walk of Fame? But Angela is JUST getting one?!?!? WTF!!
On another note, Angela in Mr. 3000, that one scene when she gets outta bed…GOOOOOD GAWWWWD!! Aiight, had my moment for the day.
BEAURIFUL BLACK FAMILY. BEAUTIFUL BLACK MAN. MAY GOD BLESS THEM.
@ T.J.
“it’s tightly wound with promotion and someone has to pay the 25k$ fee to obtain the star.”
So you tryna say I can pay a fee and get a star?!?!?
BEAUTIFUL BLACK FAMILY, BEAUTIFUL BLACK MAN, BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMAN, BEAUTIFUL BLACK CHILDREN. MAY GOD KEEP BLESSING YOU.
Angela is gifted, incredibly talented and cl*****y. She is wonderful wife and mother. A perfect role model. Get it girl! More success and happiness. God bless…
Congratulations! I’m so happy for her & her family.
God Bless her!!! I love her!!!
Would someone PLEASE explain to me how an airhead like Beyonce and Destiney’s Child got a star before this REAL star????? SMDH @ politics and money. Money can buy you anything!!!
Lawrence Fishburn need to lay off the ribs… he got a gut on him!!!
Angela is cl*****y and more beautiful than ever. Congrats to her and her beautiful children.
LISTEN UP PEOPLE. THOSE PICTURES SAY A THOUSANDS WORDS.
BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL.
Big ups to Angela, she deserves it.
I have to slap bossip on the hand for that one picture of her where she looks like she’s giving birth. Ya’ll should not have posted that one.
It looks like Morpheus needs to down load a fitness program or at least keep his shirt down.
@judge
lmao!!!
FINALLY!!!! Angela is one of my favorite actresses.
@ Lady Architect: She turned down the role in “Monster’s Ball” that Halle won an Oscar for. I think that she felt that the role would be demeaning to women. This is why I will probably always love her. She has integrity and conviction about her work. She actually thinks about the roles she takes, even if it means she may not receive the paycheck/accollades that she deserves. Praise Jesus for her and her talent! Oscar next!
CONGRATULATIONS……….
LONG TIME COMING……
SHE IS AWESOME TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dayg715,
You sound a bit naive. Halle go the oscar cause she can act? Come on you yourself don’t really believe that. She can act, but She really got that oscar cause Billy bob thorton screwed her while she screamed out his name. If anything Halle should’ve gotten an oscar for her role in “losing isaiah” She did way more acting there then Monster’s ball as the depressed widow screwing the white dude. Plz.
Congrats to Angela. She deserves it. In a day and time when anybody can be famous, and are being rewarded for any ole thing….I think this is perfect timing. *****ody can say she hasn’t paid her dues.
DH,
I heard that as well. I didn’t know if it were true or not.
@Judge Mabaline
I was wondering when someone was going to talk about Lawrence shirt and his taco meat hanging out! He really does need some hours in the gym if he is going to be jumping up and down like that in public! LOL
Surely there were more deserving actresses? Has Sienna got one yet?
It’s a lot of land *****e to waste on such a woman.
OMG…THOSE KIDS ARE TOO CUTE AND LOOK AT COURTNEY LOOKING ALL G DOUBLE O D GOOD!!!!
WHY IS RICK FOX EVERYWHERE LOOKING LIKE HE IS DYING? WHAT IS UP WITH THAT??
@Lady A…I also think Halle did an outstanding job in Dorothy D. I think that was one of her best movies. She won a ***** load of awards for that one!
@dayg715…Halle *****ing a white man in a movie got her that Oscar. If she would have been *****ing Denzel, she WOULD NOT have gotten that Oscar. And, so what if Angela was getting her ***** kicked in the movie. It was just a movie and she did an outstanding job. Much better than what Halle did in Monster’s Ball.
Hooray. Angela can act circles around almost anybody. Long overdue.
good for her. Angela B*****ett is the hottest old lady in the game right now.
So very well deserved. I am happy for Angela.
bout time she played her part in the Tina movie..
It is about damn time! This woman is the boss when it comes to acting…
She did roles such as Tina Turner and Rosa Parks, along with many others… Do you notice the diversity?.. Tina Turner.. Rosa Parks..
That is who, you know you are good.
* how
yo……rick fox look like that tall dude off Everybody Loves Raymond…
GET IT ANGIE!! GET IT ANGIE!!!
LMAO @ num1dominicano
yo……rick fox look like that tall dude off Everybody Loves Raymond…
wow!! congratz!!! .. that ‘news’ made me feel good..
shes so talented & beautiful…
i wish her all the best.. bigger n better things to come… her babies r so lovely.. ^<<positive vibes<>>now for scandal>>> is that boy forrest’s child?? looks like him doesnt he?
plz inform me for i dont kno!!
Congrats to her.She looks great and she is a natural beatuty. I have seen some pictures on interracialromancing.com looks like her very much–it is a niche interracial dating service. Maybe you want to check them.
yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
OMG!!!! congratulations!!
matter of fact, this woman is dued an Oscar!!
she is one of my favorite actresses!! no one can handle emotion in her characters like she can. I always believe her when she acts.
ANGELA DESERVE MUCH PROPS N RESPECT
EVEN THO STELLA WAS A BAD MOVIE FOR GUYS
http://WWW.MY*****E.COM/THAGRINDAHOLIC
CHECK THA NEW TRACK “GRIMEY”
I’ve lost a lot of respect for her because of her choice to star in the Biggie Smalls movie. How dare you attack Halle for playing a character who has a sex scene with a white man and then turn around and play the mother of a gangster. In tyler perry’s movie she’s playing the mother of a crack dealer. I think the stereotype of the incompetent black mother is much worst than the stereotype of a black women being in love with white men.
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!
I just love Angela B*****ett. She’s just so beautiful, talented, and cl*****y! Her and her husband, Courtney, are so wonderful!
Go ANGIE, GO ANGIE!!!!!!!!!!
Lawrence Fishburne is gonna regret that jump lol…
But I love him too! lol
Oh man, how nice! I am very happy for Angela. She is talented, cl*****y and beautiful. I am very happy that she is getting such a special honor.
Angela B*****ett looks amazing…I tell ya…black don’t crack.
Everybody who love to cry racism on this site should be on here giving my girl her props that people are recognizing her for her raw talent and gifts!!!
might I add that she looks absolutely ravishing in that Chanel dress!!
Its about damn time! Congrats Angela!
“might I add that she looks absolutely ravishing in that Chanel dress!!”
@ Jahpson
Doesn’t she though?! She just glows from the inside out. One of the many reasons she’s is one of my favorite actresses.
Ummm hello???? people!!!! Celebrities have to pay for their own Walf of Fame Star…with a “donation” of approximately $10,000 or so to a committee. So I guess what you could say is maybe it’s about time that Angela got her cheese up to pay for her own star. LOL
My bad “Walk” of fame
I think that she should have had one way before alot of people, but from what I’ve read, it’s not very difficult for them to get a star. Why did it take her so long?
Great, I’m proud that she got the recognition she deserve.
CONGRATS and I can’t wait till I get mine…remember I told ya’ll that!
I love Angela she doesn’t get enough credit.
Angela is always so cl*****y. Her star is long overdue.
@ Fabulous
correct but incorrect. the company (record company or film studio, fan club) are the ones that foot the bill. the fee is actually about $25,000.
plus, an actress/actor has to be NOMINATED for the star. when they win, they decide when to have the ceremony.
If it was that easy to get a star (just paying 10 g’s) then more people would have one dont you think?
Congratulations to her i LOVE that woman and i’m IN LOVE with her work and her physicallly too with those sexy ***** lips,her and Nia are the hottest MILFS in the game to me.
@ Jahpson:
Da point I’m making is, that celebrities aren’t just so fabulous, wonderful, creative, artistic, and talented that the city of Los Angeles GIVES them a Star on the walk of fame. It has to be PAID FOR by the celebrity in some form or fashion. And they probably use the guap they paid as a tax write-off.
Congrats Angela!!! I love how she always exudes such poise, confidence, elegance and cl*****. Such as cl***** act!! And absolutely beautiful too!
She deserves it greatly. Angie had me won over when she played Tina Turner! Give it up to my sistah, she’s mad talented!
angela always plays some weird angry black woman…that’s not acting to me.
@ Lady Shady
she wasn’t angry when she portrayed Rosa Parks.
no one has been holding her back from getting this *****!! you buy it yourself. sometimes family members buy it to honor the celeb. she bought that star people!!
congrat! btw she looks stunning!
OH MY GAAAAHHDD!! CONGRATS GURRL!!
CONGRAT’S ANGIE!!!
YOU CAN’T SAY NUTHIN’ BAD ABOUT THIS!!!
IF YOU DO… YOU’LL BURN…
Damn!! that’s my future wife right their.Chick finner than *****.
Halle and Jamie Foxx only received stars, because they won Oscars.
Now, Jamie did a GREAT job in Ray, so I’m not going to crap on him.
But, Monster’s Ball? Puhleeeeeease!!!!!!!
Nonetheless, this honor is definitely well overdue for Angela. She is one of the most cl*****y, talented women in Hollywood.
Fake- A hollywood star means absolutely nothing- it shows that you have $5000.00-any so called celebrity can submit an application and pay the fee of $5000.00 themselves and you can get a star. Just like Beyonce and all the rest she paid for hers
Angela was robbed for ‘What’s Love Got to Do With It’. The star is long overdue, but she deserves more.
what took them so long she been deserved that
YES!!!!
THIS IS PAST DUE!!!!
SHE IS MY FAVORITE ACTRESS OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!
IM SO HAPPY FOR HER!!!
and y’all talk about gabrielle union not working, when was the last time this chick was in a movie?
yeah, she wasn’t held back. those “stars” are paid for-you have to be nominated for one, usually by your own team, and just have $5000. if she doesn’t have one, it’s because HER TEAM held her back all these years.
@southernbelle
yeah, keep telling yourself that. would you be saying that if angela DID do “monster’s ball” and won an oscar? i don’t think so.
black women love hatin’ on halle berry.
i’m not taking anything away from angela b*****ett-she is one of the best actresses (black or white) in hollyweird PERIOD. but so is halle. she got her oscar, believe it or not, because of her performance in “Dorothy Dandridge”. problem was, it wasn’t a theater release, so hollywood had to wait until she had a worthy theater release to award her, which was “monster’s ball”. everybody is quick to wanna believe she got it for her “sex scene”, yet no one complained that denzel won for playing a crooked cop, instead of for “Malcolm X”, the role that he SHOULD have won the oscar for. angela’s success is well deserved, but so is halle’s. she had to fight just as hard (even harder) to make it in hollyweird.
and fyi, halle just got her star on that walk of fame THIS YEAR as well. so while people wanna compare and contrast these 2 women, instead of celebrating the moves they made in a racist and sexist industry, hollyweird looks at both of them the same.
@ dayg715, just to correct you, Halle got her star last year in April of ‘07, she was not pregnant when she got her star.
CONGRATS!!! ANGELA!! DO THAT! Show them what real talent is
she’s one of the few good black actress….but she hasn’t done enough to deserve a star on the walk of fame.
I love this family. They did it the right way. Love, marriage, baby carriage.
Not like that stupid trick Halle, who is SOOOO overrated and immoral.
Laurence Fishburne, do some sit-ups.
y she look 20 sumtin tho
CONGRATS! SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED….ITS SO LONG OVER DUE…. HOWEVER….WHAT THE EFF IS GOING ON WITH HER HAIR?
I SO HAPPY ABOUT U, CONGARATS ANGELA U THE BEST COOLEST ACTRESS PERSON!!!!
She is so sexy and pretty.I saw her in millonaire dating site”WealthyLoving.com”.I am wondering is she single now?Is she really has a baby aith the little sexy boy?
and actually dayg715…what planet are you living on???? constantly here people debating on the whole denzel in malcomn x/training day and halle in losing isiah/monsters ball…as a matter of fact I wrote a paper on that in my ethnic studies cl***** after it was discussed in the cl*****room numerous times. From my teachers to even my family that is a very discussed topic…
and please…I love Halle…but I do not think she has very much talent in the acting department…maybe more than the average theatre student but on Angela…never!
THOSE CRACKERS NO DAMN WELL ANGELA SHOULD HAVE BEEN GOTTEN THAT STAR A LONG TIME AGO BACK WHEN SHE PLAYED TITO’S MOMMA………………………
She been got her star..Been in the game 4 a hot minte..COngrats ANgie..Finally giving her props when due..Can’t wait to see “Meet the Browns”
My bad I meant to say she should’ve been got her star..STill to dam early!Later everyone.
Thats GREAT!! Angela is one of the best actresses ever. I’m not going to go on and on about her getting under paid compared to some lesser, whiter actresses, or the fact that people like her never get seen on the cover of Vogue… I’m just going to say that she deserves it and I’m gald she’s getting the well deserved recognition.
i think Halle is not a bad actress, i measn she was excellent in dorothy dandridge for real! But she is where she is also because she has this looks!
Angela B*****et is also a wonderful actress! But Halle is good too but the hype is only due to her looks! Lets be real! Angela B*****et is a very beautiful woman and she was even more pretty when she was younger But…!
Congrats to Angela, and about damn time!
Halle got the Oscar for finally baring her ***** onscreen, which is what white male movie execs all over had been waiting for for years. In Swordfish and in Monster’s Ball. Halle finally shows those *****, and *presto!*, she gets an Oscar. For playing the same damn character she played in Jungle Fever and Losing Isaiah.
*****ody figured that out???
Congrats to Angela…It will rain blood on these hoes lol….
FINALLY !!!!! She deserves IT
She is brown
She carries herself like a lady and with CL***** Which can not be bought. It is something you are born with……
She’s a LADY enough said
The epitome of cl***** she is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cannot for the life of me understand why so many people hate on Halle. This is a post about The B*****ett Queen FINALLY getting her long overdue star on Hollywood Walk of Fame, yet there are some idiots on here who keep on mentioning Halle.
Lets be honest, u guys are only *****ed at the scene ‘cuz it was with a white dude, as opposed to how graphic the sex scene was. That is hypocrisy.
Halle is an accomplished actress, whether or not you want to admit it, and she more than deserves her fame/money etc. There are other numerous less deserving and a whole less talented white actresses out there, yet no one mentions them. This crabs in a barrel attitude that so many of us black folk have is ridiculous.
Can we not celebrate what is, in essense, a truly glorious woman, without denigrating her fellow black woman in the process. Or are we only allowed to have one sista whose career is going well?
In my mind, the only actress in hollywood right now who can in anyway step to Angie B. whether black or white, is Meryl Streep, but I’d stil pick The B*****ett anyday, with Streep a close second. Instead of attacking Halle, how about the other top paid actresses in hollywood?
Drew Barrymore- She’s nice and all, but she only ever was a post-child star. Not very cute nowadays.
Reese Witherspoon- Has that Americas sweetheart thing going for her, talented enough, but her-top-of-the-pile position is going to be shortlived.
Angelina Jolie- The only hit she’s ever had were the Lara Croft films, which was due to its teenage boy/game fanbase, and Mr. & Mrs. Smith, which was due to the fact that she was banging Brad Pitt. The woman is box office poison. Additionally, she is now more of a celebrity/tabloid star, than a bonafide movie star(she never really was, Julia Roberts is the only one).
Cameron Diaz- She’s not pretty (forget what they tell u), and most women don’t like her (although, I am an exception as I’ve always had a soft spot for her).
Nicole Kidman- If u wantanybody to watch your films, keep Kidman out of hit. She’s not cute, has no fanbase, and is probably no.1 on the list of box office poison.
Jennifer Aniston- Granted, she’s probably the most succesful T.v. actress alive today, that is where she’s had most success. Fine, she may have had hits in Bruce ALmighty and Along came Polly, her latest hit was The Break Up, which was due to the fact that everyone thought she was banging her co-star. She also has that Americas sweetheart thing going for her, but she has not ben able to transfer it to big screen succes.
Julia Roberts- When last was she in a film?
Charlize Theron- Her only truly desreved award was for the serial Killer one. The rest, bull*****. Think of it, if a black actress had played those parts, it wouldn’t even have registered on most critics radar as anything significant.
So, why not criticise any of the above, including Britney, Paris, etc., instead of throwing all sorts of Hate Halle’s way. And this is Angela B*****etts moment, PLEASE let her have it!
