first baatches

but seriously Angela Bassett 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 class 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 Bassett 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!

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 ass 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.

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 classy. 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!!!

LISTEN UP PEOPLE. THOSE PICTURES SAY A THOUSANDS WORDS.

BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL.

@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. Nobody 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 space 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??

Hooray. Angela can act circles around almost anybody. Long overdue.

good for her. Angela Bassett 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..

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.MYSPACE.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 Bassett. She’s just so beautiful, talented, and classy! 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, classy and beautiful. I am very happy that she is getting such a special honor.

Angela Bassett 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 classy. 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?

@ 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 class. Such as class 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.

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 mutha.

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 classy, talented women in Hollywood.

Angela was robbed for ‘What’s Love Got to Do With It’. The star is long overdue, but she deserves more.

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 bassett-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?

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 class after it was discussed in the classroom 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!

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 Basset is also a wonderful actress! But Halle is good too but the hype is only due to her looks! Lets be real! Angela Basset 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 breasts 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 tits, and *presto!*, she gets an Oscar. For playing the same damn character she played in Jungle Fever and Losing Isaiah.

Nobody 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 CLASS Which can not be bought. It is something you are born with……

She’s a LADY enough said
