Everyone looks good except for the HAM known as Patti LaBelle. Not nearly as bad as Ms Aretha though lol!

LL could definitely get it.

I hope that man’s for the keeping Sanaa, don’t start no drama now.

And.....(with 5 dots)

7/6/08, 11:40:am

Patti looks great and I know she shut the place down. LL still looks delicious. And what is it that Solange does again? She was HORRIBLE on BET’s pre-award show as a host.

Greatestloveofall

7/6/08, 11:42:am

…Oh, Sheryl Lee Ralph is fabulous.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, Al Sharpton needs to sit down somewhere. Him and Jesse Jackson don’t care about black people. They are just opportunists who don’t wanna help black communities RISE UP, instead keeping us down by telling us to continuously play the race card. That ***** ain’t gettin us anywhere. He claims to be concerned about African Americans, but he’ll never turn down a photo opportunity, just like when he appeared at the BET Awards with dose rappers.

7/6/08, 11:49:am

Solange looks absolutely fab! Saw the pics yesterday of her and Juelz! Too cute! Can’t wait for her CD to drop!

bree

7/6/08, 11:55:am

Adewale & Sanaa look great together..

Solange is weird for no reason..

Bill Cosby & Al Sharpton?..i don’t want to disrespect the elders, so i will just SMH!

LL Cool J is tired..

Patti LaBelle loves those Christian Loubotins(sp?)..i see her wear them once a month..

Sheryl Lee Ralph looks like she is in 1994 with those shoes..

is Hill Harper sick?

That is not Carl Thomas..yeah right!

I bet you 2 pennies Matthew Knowles was trying to manage someone in that group..

Jill Scott isn’t taking long walks anymore..

why did i think that was Tank & not Derrin?

jcc

7/6/08, 11:57:am

Yes, Hannibal is a hater!! Why would you write a negetive statement like that?

I'm Just Me (NOT WITH REDBONE N*GGAS)

7/6/08, 12:44:pm

They look awesome together. I like them. Solange actually looked very nice here. I am happy for them

But what happened to Carl Thomas? Not a good look.

Smell My *****

7/6/08, 12:54:pm

Sanaa Lathan is another W*****….She kissed a white man in a movie she was playing in…..She will 4ever be tainted

Jody

7/6/08, 12:56:pm

They look good together. Sanaa is one of the most stunning women out there. She is just sensuous

JUST4DAHELLOFIT

7/6/08, 13:15:pm

Sanaa is one of my favorite actresses. I hope she is happy with her Boo.

Solange’s hair finally looks decent. A lot better than that combed over poodle she’s been rockin.

7/6/08, 13:17:pm

I love me some Sanna and Solange. Werk it!

K-mia

7/6/08, 13:22:pm

Calling her a “W*****” is a little too ridiculous, dont you think? Besides the fact that she kissed a white boy on screen was the least offensive part. The whole movie was kinda racist. How they made black ppl with money look all uppity. Like we all do debutante ***** and say things like “dont talk to the help!” I’ve never even used the term “the help” in conversation.

But I still like Sannaa she’s a good actress and everyone does a bad movie

Suck My *****

7/6/08, 13:23:pm

Smell my *****

Howabout dinner and a *****? Sounds like you need to get out, smell the roses, have a nice candlelight dinner and then cap it with some all night deep *****in’

Gallo

7/6/08, 13:34:pm

There is nothing fab about Solange. The 20 pounds of makeup is not helping to covering up the truth.

Sanna is beautiful and far from a w*****. Good to see her and Ad are still going strong. It’s always nice to see two blacks dating in the entertainment industry.

7/6/08, 14:02:pm

What a cute couple!

smh

7/6/08, 14:07:pm

^^^you need a life. Unless you are their doctors then you have no proof that they have had nose jobs. It’s called contour make-up. Make-up can make your nose look however you want it. Besides Bey looks the same as she has always looked only she has blonde hair. So does Solange, her nose has always been pointy.

Sad when people are so jealous of you, that they look for flaws. I hope you are a picture of perfection “zeb”. That was so uncalled for. It’s some crazy people on this site.

smh

7/6/08, 14:12:pm

And how is Sanaa Lathan a w***** just because she kissed a white man in a movie? I take back what I said. This site isn’t full of crazy people. It’s full of IGNORANT people.SMH

ILuvYellaBoyZ

7/6/08, 14:12:pm

GTFOH! Contour make-up can only do so much! It can’t make your nose look “how ever you want it to”. Ppl often thin their bridges a bit, without doing much to the tip. Solange had a nose job, plain and simple! Doesn’t make a bad person or anything.

And dude Sanaa is dating is BORN AND RAISED in BROOKLYN, stop calling him Nigerian!

smh

7/6/08, 14:17:pm

^^^^^zeb is that you? Must be. Obviously you don’t know a thing about contour make-up. Go sit your ignorant ***** down somewhere.

Jesse Helms

7/6/08, 14:47:pm

I stand by my disappointed groan

Sanaa sometimes feel like a lick and sometimes, she feels like she needs some *****. Like most black w*****s, she’s confused and conflicted. Best to avoid when possible.

justrealitic

7/6/08, 14:49:pm

Sanaa’s man in foiiinneee. I’d do him…LOLz

Sanaa

7/6/08, 15:09:pm

hi Sanaa,

Have you read that book, “Interceptions” ????

I thought of you when I read it- cause you were in love and Basketball. And if they make Interceptions a movie, you should play the main girl. The book is SOOOO good! You should read it. I forgot the author, but it’s about a girl who dates a guy in the NFL and it’s really good- cause it goes behind the scenes and really talks about the war between good girls and groupies!

WordtotheWise

7/6/08, 15:31:pm

No Jesse Helm, it says that since you replied, what I said must pertain to you. How about that? If you read my post, you would notice I didn’t say ALL Bossip readers, just some. Got it?

Jesse Helms

7/6/08, 15:34:pm

WordtotheWise

The only thing i got, was your false sense of moral superiority.

WordtotheWise

7/6/08, 15:40:pm

Well Jesse Helms, the only thing you should’ve gotten was just what I wrote. If you choose to read something more into it, that’s you. Talk about moral superiority – that’s the pot calling the kettle black considering you just called Sanaa a black w*****, confused and conflicted. Unless you know her, you just made a moral judgment about her. Thank you. The end.

Jesse Helms

7/6/08, 15:53:pm

WordtotheWise

I read what you wrote and responded in kind – And yes, we’re both guilty of moral judgement in some form or another. Let us stew in that black kettle together…Afterall, we only know what she puts out there and what the tabloids are able to druge up, being a public figure an’ all, which is more than what you know about me and vice versa…So on second thought, why don’t you stew in that kettle alone.

Racism Is Alive and Well

Adewale and Sanaa look beautiful together and I think Solange look pretty. Who is that corpse smiling w/ the shades on…oh that’s Carl Thomas, damn.

They look like a real sexy brown couple but I get the feelin she dont like him too much.

Jill Scott ***** is bigger than her head!

The Truth Has Spoken

7/6/08, 18:02:pm

that Solange is one ugly looking bird- poor thang just don’t know what to do with herself that she took to painting each one of her nails a different color. She must be so lonely.

Sanaa is so beautiful, she takes after her handsome father. Blessed with good genes.

7/6/08, 19:14:pm

Solange looks really pretty in the pic!!

Til You Do Right By Me...

7/6/08, 19:17:pm

Yeah, they do look good together! Yeah, I’m gonna have to cosign with Bree’s list….as much as I hate to on the part about Sheryl Lee Ralph’s shoes….but it’s true:-) Dang, I haven’t seen shoes like that in a good minute. I guess it’s her take on vintage!

People, Hannibal is a FOOL! She only makes those comments to get a response……I’m sure you all know a FOOL is best ignored.

Alyssa

7/6/08, 19:27:pm

Cute couple!

I could have done without the pic of Al Sharpton and Bill Cosby though. I’m not feeling Solange’s hair, she looks strange. Bree’s list pretty much summed up everything I was thinking.

Bill “Uncle Ruckus” Cosby was there with Al “Perm” Sharpton. I wonder if they were spreading more black self hate or was Bill trying to give more women shots of date rape drugs.

Sanna Lathan is so gorgeous, she is definately one of the prettier ladies in the hollywood scene. Solange Knowles looks nice but that wavy, straggly weave has to go. Patti is a legend, and she still looks good, she might want to ease up off the oil on those legs though!

Reggie Bush needs to talk to this brother here…Here is Adewale with a beautiful intelligent talented sister…Sanaa Lathan…and SHE IS MORE BEAUTIFUL than that *****y ditz Kim.

This brother is PROVING that you don’t have to go all “swirly” and “downgrade” to a “pink toe” just because you are a pro-athelete. They make an absolutely beautiful couple. Sanaa should have hooked up with him instead of getting with that “ti-red a$$” Denzel

RobbieRob

7/7/08, 10:04:am

Sanaa is beautiful and completely underrated in Hollywood….would like to see more of her…

Love Patti for what she’s accomplished and survived over the years – but why is she looking more and more like the drag queens that imitate her?

Solange looks prettier than I’ve ever seen her – love the new ‘do…

Jill Scott’s got an air of self-confidence that any woman, any size, should be proud to have…love her!

WHOA!

7/7/08, 10:56:am

Oh my gosh ADEWALE is soooo fine…I’ve had a cdrush on him since I saw him in Essence. GOT DAYUM! Sanaa hold on to yah love girl…lol

Man, I just don't care

Solange ain’t lookin bad but ain’t feelin the hair
