Here’s a little bit of Bey for your morning enjoyment. Peep these pics from the set of Beyonce’s new flick “Obsessed.” Let’s hope she stepped up her acting skills for this one (but honestly, we don’t have our fingers crossed).

To top things off for Beyonce, word is her privacy had seriously been violated. Click HERE to learn about this official breach and what’s being done about it.

More pics from the set as well as a tender lil moment between Beyonce and her nephew Daniel at the Essence Music Festival are right under the hood.

    1st….i really don’t like red hair on her.

  • SWEET CHEEKS

    I Need Answers…

    I concur… I dont like that ish either!!! : )

  • RICBLEU34

    SHE IS THICK! #3

  • Lady Architect

    I don’t like the red hair they should’ve gone with black to tone her down. Smh at acting skills. She really has none, but when you are the producer than many time you will be the lead of the film cause you put up a lot of money for it. The plot of the movie is probably good and Idris Alba is great, but she should pick a real actress. One of the many great actresses we have out there.

  • Envy Me (Established in 1983)

    i like the red hair and the matching brows,something different for a change, i mean come on its only for the movie, we all know she’s no red head

  • ESMUYBONITA

    He has really grown up !!!

  • I’m Just Me (I AIN’T WITH RED BONE N*GGAS)

    IDRIS CAN GET IT!!

  • Envy Me (Established in 1983)

    @lady architect

    i do agree though, they should’ve picked a real ACTRESS for the part, their are many great actresses out there

    What happened to my boy Idris Elba’s butt in dem jeans????? Where did it go??? I too hope Beyonce stepped up her acting skills.

  • kai

    Me thinks thats really Beyonces child unexposed…Solange was made to be the cover lol…that or dna is really a wonderful thing…

  • http://aol ebonieladi

    At First I Thought That Was A Picture Of Her Mother

  • Jd

    She looks old.

  • Chaka

    Beyonce has the potential to act, but she needs a lot of coaching and work with her speaking voice.

  • Lou in the Chi

    beyonce brings in sells. That’s why she has the lead. All of her movies have been box office leaders in their open weekend (yes, even the dumb pink panther, and fighting temptations where in the top five). So as long as it makes money it makes sense.

  • WordzOfaProphet

    it might not go straight to DVD cuz Idris is her lead man and of course all the ppl obsessed with Bey no matter how bad she acts. The fighting temptations was a long time ago, and Carmen don’t even count cuz even her acting effed that up and most of the damn thing was singing…maybe she done stepped up, but anyways Im goin 2 c it cuz Idris will be on screen

  • dayg715

    why does she look so old? she looks about 40. and her acting is laughable, at best.

  • dayg715

    pink panther would have made money regardless; it’s a old classic, and it was steve martin. austin powers is already a money making franchise. she had nothing to do with those movies’ success. nobody even remembers she was in them. she needs to stick to singing; she is nobody’s actress.

  • I Need Answers..

    LMFAO @ pisces princess.

  • Anonymous3 – the fire sign

    that first pic of her looking directly at the camera reminds me of Mama Tina aka Spicy Creole….I predict the older she gets the more she resembles her mama and the older Solange gets the more she resembles Papa Knowles

  • African Princess

    Bey should take from Naomi Campbell. All the weave she constantly has on her head will eventually catch up with her. I wonder if Jay-Z has ever seen her in her natural hairdo. I won’t want to bump into her in the middle of the night that’s for sure.

  • Madame Enigma

    She is really starting to look like Tina these days….

  • Anonymous3 – the fire sign

    yeah, Ima have to say straight to DVD or heck maybe even straight to VHS and in the trash with this one…even the still shots look low budget……did she not learn from Whitney’s (Nippy)lack of acting skills…just cause you can sing does not mean you can act…contrary to popular belief acting is difficult…time will tell…I mean there is still the movie of her pretending to be Etta James that we have to deal with as well…..

  • sweet_lies

    that wig is not a good look… or maybe it’s the makeup… she’s looking very screaming-yellow-tree-monkeyish like her mom… new cosmotologist needed on set asap!

  • crackas mad right now

    hate, hate, hate

  • JUICY

    WHY YOU GOTTA GO SO HARD ON HER? IS IS REALLY THAT SERIOUS?

  • Lou in the Chi

    pink panther would have made money regardless; it’s a old classic, and it was steve martin. austin powers is already a money making franchise. she had nothing to do with those movies’ success. nobody even remembers she was in them. she needs to stick to singing; she is nobody’s actress.

    That maybe so, but what about The Fighting Temptations and Dreamgirls. So, whatever you may believe she is still a big name money maker. And that is why she will continue to be offered roles. She may not be able to act but she def has the it factor. And all of entertainment has lost the quality of skills, its now all about appeal and making money. So, my point stands.

  • creolediva

    who is she playing in the movie, tina knowles??

  • creolediva

    ha ha…she wasnt “offered” this role..she created it..her & mathew are producing this straight-to-dvd sh*t…and if her “appeal” was all that, she would have been offered the part in Sex in the City(that she wanted)….

  • JUICY

    they ain’t gone puther in sex in the city, because they don’t want her taking away from the main characters. especially jessica parker’s old ass. bey look better in a pair of manolo’s.

  • Wanjiru

    …there are several things Beyonce cannot do, and acting is up there at the top of the list…

    …why doesn’t someone tell her already…

    .

  • JustMoi

    Her Daddy is pushing & paying for her to get that Oscar that J-Hud “stole” *LOL She and her father are the exec producers on both of her tired ass movies. She should stick to T&A and stop trying to play pretend actress. She lacks the depth and life experience to be real sooooo why would anyone think she could “act” real???

  • Lou in the Chi

    Sex and the city was not a lead role so who the f*ck cares. She has more money than all four of them wheffas combined. Damn, why can’t we ever be happy and support our own. Haters make me sick.

  • JustMoi

    Wanjiru: EXACTLY!1 Madonna had to learn the same thing and Maddi is still worth 600 mil sooooo obviously sticking to what she knows has paid off ;-)

  • creolediva

    one has to wonder, where does she go from here? stage plays??

  • JustMoi

    ICK STANS, gotta loath them. Look retard I dont think anyone is hating on your chick, she CAN NOT ACT PERIOD!! and just because a person is black that doesn’t mean we automatically should “support them” there are times we should know when to shut certain foolishness down….for example

    1] R. Kelly

    2] Flava Flav

    3] Beyonce [the actress]

  • JustMoi

    Bey would be perfect for Broadway.

  • creolediva

    Sex and the city was not a lead role so who the f*ck cares. She has more money than all four of them wheffas combined. Damn, why can’t we ever be happy and support our own. Haters make me sick.

    *************************************************

    my point EXACTLY…WHY would u assume that i suggested a “lead” role for her?? that part is basically what she can do-support…yall trippin if yall think she can carry a film…and im not hating, im a fan, but it is what it is…she aint fooling nobody…she did a better job acting like she wasnt married…her acting stinks…big time…shes always the same character/person…one dimensional and SOUTHERN in every role(not by script)…love her or hate her, i dont think she’ll be taking an oscar anytime soon…and MONEY isnt everything…she would kill to trade places with SJP and be the respected actress that she is…SMH…

    not feeling that hair color at all, very fake looking

    she needs to stick with weaves that fit her.

  • $m♥K.E.Y.

    Beyonce CANNOT act

    but i love her singing and performances, why not do broadway

    she is a good performer, but her acting is below subpar.

    Gurl stick to the stage and music, you are a diva there!

    Maybe a musical….remake to the “The Wiz”???

  • http://lcrump127@optonline.net lolo127

    IS SHE WITH CHILD?????????????????????

  • Lou in the Chi

    I am not a stan. But I def ain’t a hater. There’s plenty of nontalented people in every aspect of the entertainment industry, and most of them are white. So why hate on how she’s making her money. If you don’t like her don’t go see it. I can’t stand them phony sex and the city broads. There wasn’t a black in the show and only one in the movie, so screw them, I’d never support it. I know the girl can’t act, but I can see the appeal and why she gets the roles. And all of the people you named you have no power to shut them down. They’re made. And Beyonce is not in the same category as a perverted criminal and a dumb ass buffoon. So yes I think when one of us are doing major positive things we should support them.

  • BENNET

    I think Beyonce improved in every movie. I really enjoyed her in dreamgirls. im from texas so I know how hard it is to try to speak without that southern twang..you never even notice it until you travel outside the south. I dont think their is even the slightest chance a movie starring Idris and beyonce will be going straight to DVD..

  • S

    At least she’s not doing another movie about a singer. Oh wait…

    And I’m sorry, but this chick looks 5 to 10 years older than me. I’ve never believed she’s the age she says she is.

  • kelis

    Love it! Beyonce give the haters something to talk about! This movie will be a success the same as all her other projects. Can’t wait to see Cadillac Records too! Beyonce will drop a movie every other year. She has that “IT” status. Some folks are just born with it!

  • kelis

    FYI, Nothing Beyonce does will ever go straight to DVD! Her name is worth millions!

  • Vinandi

    @ kelis

    so is J-Lo, Jennifer Anniston, Meg Ryan to name a few and that hasn’t stopped some of their wack movies going straight to DVD! its not about what you’re worth, its whether or not people can be arsed to go watch the damn movie!

  • Earth Sign

    Wake up People!!!

    Those of you that have 401k or IRA’s we are in trouble:

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve is considering giving squeezed Wall Street firms more time to draw emergency loans directly from the central bank to help them overcome credit problems, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said Tuesday.

    For those of you that dont know what this means is that certain companies you and I have stocks and bonds with are taking loans from the FED, yes the Federal Reserve. That means our hard earned retirement money is invested with these crooks. Which means the Federal Reserve owns virtually everything.

  • kelis

    @Vinadi,

    Um, Beyonce draws crowds!LOL That’s not even an issue. Haters will be lined up, so they can come on the blogs to talk trash, and her fans will be there! Brand Beyonce has been built to last! She has a strong following of haters and supporting! She’s just a star!

    I’m interested in seeing what the plot of the movie is about. Who knows, it could be decent.

    I’m not a fan of Beyonce, but I do love her shape. I’m glad she’s representing for the hourglass figure- not fat, not skinny, but just right!

  • stay down

    LMAO at JUICY

  • SMH

    @ gimme a break

    You are the definition of ignorant if you dont think Beyonce can sing. Even her biggest haters can admit that much. Have you never heard “listen” or “dangerously in love”. And Beyonce was the biggest star in Dreamgirls so that “megastar” theory is bs.

    Beyonce is on top of the game as far as black female artists go and that’s a fact. She was just in Forbes, she is the most talked about black female artist, and she done had more success in this decade than any other black female artist. So go cry about it.

  • Q

    hottest chick in da game

  • SMH

    Wow I love delusional haters.

    Beyonce was the biggest star in DG and made everyone go see it with all that promotion she did.Yea Jennifer got her Oscar but have you heard from her since. She played someone assistant and was not even a big part in SITC. In fact a lot of critics said she wasn’t need.

    Beyonce didn’t get the Oscar but she is the one in Forbes and she does have two movies coming out and she is no one assistant in any of them. So Beyonce gets the last laugh yet again.

    As far as her singing goes, you must be deaf. I wonder who you think can sing. Janet,Madonna,and just about every female artist shows skin and dances so I guess you dont like majority of the female artists out there either. Or is it just Beyonce you have a problem with? LMAO Give it up. Beyonce must be doing something right or you wouldn’t be here commenting on her right now.

  • ethang

    Beyonce stans are ridiculous. Beyonce is nothing but mediocre talent marketed by the media as something bigger than she is. Vocally she doesn’t compare to Mariah or Whitney or even Christina. Her acting is far worse. She has one expression and her speaking voice is terrible. Her only claim to fan is her looks and as you can see above, they’re starting to fade. She’s morphing into Tacky Tina. You delusional stans need to get over yourselves and stop trashing others who don’t fall for the Beyonce hype.

  • SMH

    ^^^^says the Rihanna stan.SMH I dont take anyone who is a stan of a no talent like Rihanna seriously. You defend Rihanna to the bone and you cant keep Beyonce name out your mouth. Therefore your opinion doesn’t count. You are dismissed.

  • ethang

    @ SMH

    The difference between you and I, is that I recognize that Rihanna is on the same level as Beyonce…mediocre. However, she’s fresher and hipper than Beyonce and that’s why I like her. I would never compare RiRi with someone like Whitney, Erykah, Jill Scott, Mariah, etc. Beyonce is nothing but a product developed by Papa Knowles and styled by Tacky Tina. A puppet that can’t even speak for herself. RiRi is currently stealing her thunder. You can’t deny that. Beyonce is slowly but surely fading away. Just like J.Lo did. She won’t be around in 5 years.

  • @@@

    please dont mention

    alicia keys and beyonce in the same sentences

    cause beyonce can never sing like alica keyes

  • SMH

    ^^^^like I said before. Says the Rihanna stan. Your opinion doesn’t count because you must be blind and tone deaf if you think Rihanna is stealing Beyonce thunder. Oh really? I didn’t see Rihanna in the top 100 on Forbes. Is Rihanna even platinum in the U.S? Oh yeah just barely. Does she have two movies coming out or is she executive producing anything? Is she talked about for anything besides her clothes that her stylist picked out? I think not. Talent>>>>Style any day. LMAO at you putting Rihanna on the same level as Beyonce. Only you Rihanna stans would say something crazy like that. Even Rihanna was influenced by Beyonce, she said so herself, so I doubt even Rihanna would say that ish.LMAO

    @ give me a break

    I didn’t dismiss you. I was talking to Ethang. But hey I’m just trying to pass time at work so this discussion is no big deal to me. We can agree to disagree.

  • kai

    @ Earth sign with what damn money? The borrowed money (i.e: the money borrowed from foreign nations who give us supply) has been funding this country for too damn long…Our retirements are safe. Now— your kids, they may have something to worry about lol……

  • kai

    Where the hell you think our stimulus packages came from? Certainly not under the government affiliation Federal reserve…lol

  • Q

    Beyonce sings better but alicia is the better musician.

    You are being biased.

    Stop hating on B.

    They different artists but they both doing their thang.

    I was talking about their looks anyway.

    I said they were the hottest chicks.

  • wigswigswigsandmore

    ooh wee t-shain..see what i just did, i just paused u..now u are no longer aloud to talk to u are no longer in my ear area!!!!! Dont believe the hype!! just ask Letoya and Lativia and Farriah and Michelle and her best buddeee , KElly!!

  • SMH

    ^^^LOL. DC is best selling female group of all time thanks to Beyonce so they should be greatful that they can say they was a part of such a successful group.

  • SMH

    Rihanna has all these singles out and all this promotion so yes she could have been in Forbes. It was people in Forbes who are younger than her. Obviously she not making no money because she not a big name like that.

    As for Beyonce and Alicia Keys. They are both talented but its a fact that Beyonce is the better singer. Alicia Keys was straining on No One. She cant hit certain notes that Beyonce can. As for Beyonce songs, they sell millions so I guess her fans dont think they sound the same. And FYI Beyonce has several charities so she does give back. You dont know what you are talking about.LMAO

    Another hater with no good reason for not liking Beyonce.SMH Moving on!

  • Lady Architect

    SMH,

    You are correct in saying that Beyonce and Alicia Keys are both talented. To me it’s not fair to say one is better than the other because they are completely different artists. B is a pop artist and sings music that makes you dance and have fun. Alicia Keys music is more emotional and if you look up artists like Billie Holiday then you’ll see that the strain Alicia does is actually an artistic singing tool that many old school people know about, which is why you only hear much of the younger crowd complain about the strain when really she’s straining emotions rather than a strain that Rihanna or Cassie does.

    I agree with that. I am a fan of both Beyonce and Alicia Keys and have both their c.d’s. I didn’t know that was a singing tool that Alciia used. I also agree that they are two completely different artists.

  • SMH

    Madame Enigma no I am not Solange. I am just trying to pass time at work. I usually dont even comment. This discussion is no big deal to me. As soon as I get off, I’m going back to my life. I’m just passing time for right now.

  • ethang

    @ Madame Enigma

    I’m not hatin. I’m stating the truth. Beyonce can’t sing or dance. If you call lip-syncing or having seizures on stage in underwear, singing and dancing, then sugar you need to scope music outside the top 40. I’ve come to realize that Beyonce fans consist of the 6-13 year old bracket so I shouldn’t be too hard on you kids. In 5 years your music tastes will change and you’ll laugh at what you considered good music. It happens to all of us.

  • Lady Architect

    Yeh my aunt had to play some billie holiday and some other artists for me to understand cause I thought she was just straining also. I saw Alicia in concert and you tell it’s like a switch that she just turns off and on during her performances.

I think they get Beyonce and Rihanna mixed up.LOL We all know Rihanna fans are usually white teenagers. It was evident at the BET Awards who is NOT her audience. Especially since people were texting during her performance.LMAO Meanwhile Beyonce gets a standing ovation after all her performances. Just an observation.LOL

  • ThatsBull00

    You are a hater cuz u on here trying to convince people your hateful evil thoughts are facts.

    I can’t think just because she’s a great artist people will continue to let her have lead roles. They must see something that you clearly can’t see because you hate her so much.

    People think she can act well enough or else they wouldv’e kept hiring Mariah for more roles but they realized she couldn’t act.

    Financially Beyonce and Halle gets paid around the same amount to do movies. Beyonce go paid 12.5 million for her last movie DREAMGIRLS

  • SMH

    Lady Architect

    Thats nice to know. I hated No One when it first came out because I thought she was straining. I kinda like the song now. Her first album is still her best album though.

  • Lady Architect

    I agree SMH that’s always on rotation.

  • SMH

    But Beyonce is not taking anything from these other actresses. She is executive producing and paying for this herself. This is her movie. As for Rihanna, I have never liked her because people like her get record deals yet there are more talented people probably in church. I dont like Cassie either. I’m just a fan of REAL talent like Beyonce and Alicia Keys. I dont give a damn how well Rihanna dresses. She is suppose to be singer. But to each his own I guess.

  • Z

    Well I am sorry, but I have to agree regarding Beyonce is a better singer than Alicia. Honestly Alicia hurts my ears. I have to turn the station when she comes on.

  • ThatsBull00

    I am glad Beyonce is not considered a dancer. She is a singer!!

    All those people you named aren’t dancers they are singers. Because the peple that teach them those dance steps are dances and wuld be mortified by your comment

  • SMH

    Ciara is a booty shaker too. Did you see the BET Awards? She reminds me too much of Janet. Beyonce is a great dancer to me. There are all different types of dancing. She doesn’t just booty shake. Even if she does booty shake, she hits every note while she’s doing it.LOL I dont know any other female artist out there that can sing and dance at the same time like her.

  • ThatsBull00

    Sorry typos******

  • ThatsBull00

    Thank You SMH….

    She said she thought Riahnna did good. LMAO

    The song consist of two different notes she better had been able to do that!!

  • Lady Architect

    79 close enough. I’m an 80s baby and I was discussing with some friends about the beginning-middle of the 90′s era how that was the best music time for me. When you have people like Karyn White, Monica, Brandy, Faith, Whitney, Mariah, and groups like SWV, Total, Xscape, Envogue, Brownstone, Jade, and TLC. Music made me go crazy back then I had so many tapes and records. To me on an honest tip I enjoyed destinys child, but had some of those groups still been together we would not have known Destinys Child or Beyonce atleast if you were born before the 90s. I do think Beyonce can sing though. She sings very well for a pop singer, better than most pop singers in my book, but she couldn’t hang with those women cause many of them were actually songstresses like Tamia.

  • SMH

    Lady Architect I have to disagree with you on that one. I dont think people give Beyonce enough credit to tell the truth. She waters down her talent to make money and sell what sells (i.e Bday)but she is more talented than people think. Have you seen her Grammy performance from 04 when she did DIL? Or how about Listen on Oprah? And did you know she could paint too? She had an amazing painting in that Destiny’s Child book. And I think DC sold better than all those groups because they stayed together. I love Envogue,Total,etc. But the thing with DC3 is that they can not only sing but they never gave up and kept going. Really I think it’s not fair to compare them to the 90′s groups because their more pop. Again Beyonce is very talented but she just dont show it to the fullest sometimes.

  • ThatsBull00

    I love Tamia’s voice.

    She actually opened for Beyonce’s tour back in 2004 once, I was so hyped.

    I support her cuz her first CD like the last 6 songs were R&B she des sing alot pop because she wanna make that money. But she also loves to dance and have fun. But she can definately sing

  • ethang

    @ Lady Architect

    I’m a total 80′s baby. None of the music from today compares to the stuff I grew up with.

  • SMH

    As for Ciara, she is not all that a great dancer to me. Janet and Aaliyah were better than her. And yes I have seen Beyonce do some of the stuff Ciara has done like the back bend. Have you seen Ciara sing and dance in heels like Beyonce has? But again to each his own. Different strokes for different folks.

  • SMH

    Oh and DC did sell more than TLC. Watch on youtube the 2005 World Music Awards when they honored DC as the best selling female group of all time. I love both groups though.

  • Lady Architect

    SMH,

    I never denied that Beyonce was talented. I think she sings very well and I enjoyed both of those performances that you mentioned very much. I still think that she would not be able to hang with those women though. You are correct in saying that DC sold more because they lasted longer. Mathew was on top of his game with replacing the 2 girls quick because DC went through what every group goes through which is a breakup point. The only thing with DC is that it happened early in the game. People were already used to Envogue when their breakup happened and their fans were salty about accepting a “Dawn replacement.” Other than that like I said Mathew was smart in marketing those girls as pop artists cause then you have a broader audience. Vocal wise DC can’t hang with any of those R&B groups but they can knock out all the pop groups. I understand you say it’s not fair which shows that DC never really had any competition and with acts like Ashanti and Rihanna neither does Beyonce. Bakc then there was so much competition that it was hard for a group to outsell another by thousands.

    Lady Architect I can cosign that to the fullest.

    Can DC sing as good as groups like En Vogue? Heck no but DC is a pop group and they sold more because pop sells more than rnb.

    My only problem with Beyonce is that she waters down her talent in order to sell. She is so much better than stuff like Bday. I was so dissappointed in that album. Now DIL is a classic for me. I hope she does another DIL for this new album but I doubt she will. Unfortunately pop is what sells, so she has to go that route to make money.

    Delarocka who is attacking anybody? We are just having a little discussion. Nobody is taking anything seriously. Geesh.

  • SMH

    ^^^LOL at ThatsBull00. Thats exactly what Beyonce did at the 2006 BET Awards. She caught the holy ghost, fell out on the floor, and everything.LOL

  • Lady Architect

    lol ThatsBull00,

    You are so correct. Did you see that performance with Yolanda on the Steller Awards when she caught the holy spirit while singing. I loved it. Mary Mary does well with that 2. I’m just going all off topic sorry.

  • blah

  • DeLaRoCkA

    @SMH

    thats what i thought

  • kelis

    Oh, I know folks in here are not trying to put Rihanna on the same level as Beyonce. PLease! She’s on the level with Cassie, Ciarra, LeToya, etc.

  • SMH

    As for Bday, I think she was trying to go in another direction but her fans were expecting more from her. Unfortunately for Beyonce, people have high expectations. And even though Bday sold well, I think it was a disappointment for some of her fans.

  • SMH

    Yeah I’m about to get off in the minute too. It was nice typing to you. We agree she can sing and perform so we can leave it at that.LOL

  • DeLaRoCkA

    its a rap

    i am out

    blunt blazing time

  • DeLaRoCkA

    arighttttt !!!

    you got it

  • kimmy

    Beyonce’s real fans loved B’Day. I know I did.LOL

  • CJ

    Beyonce is a legend. There is a reason why they pick Beyonce instead of cospirator specialist Alica Keys and these other sad excuse of R&B debacles like Ashanti and others. Beyonce has overall talent and star power. Alicia has more musically creative talent. Beyonce is just out right GREAT!!!

  • SHOCKED

    I am really shocked to read some of these comments. I mean their is some artists I dont care for (janet jackson) but i would never fool myself and say she has no talent..I read several times on here that beyonce cant sing…IM PUZZLED??

    i seen her live and I promise if u leave a beyonce concert you will have a new level of respect for her talent..she can sing and run across the stage in heels without missing a note (no lip synching involved)

    I am not the “stan” or her biggest fan, but she is one talented siter who is definetly here to stay.

    p.s I liked her when she played deena in dreamgirls.

  • stacey

    what does SMH mean?

  • SHOCKED

    shaking my head

  • CriticXtreme::

    I love it when they put these whack movies together. They always cast people who never look like they belong in a family. The guy doesn’t look like the kid, the kid doesn’t look like the guy and Beyonce?? A better choice would have been Nia Long!

  • http://www.myspace.com/samuel_g_2008 Luminous Phenomenon

    I don’t like the red weave either but whatever. I still feature her music.

  • hot tamale

    i was at the festival!!!

  • http://www.myspace.com/ocky_j Octavia

    Apparently, she is so pretty that people just wait for anything (a bad pic, a bad dress, a bad weave) to knock her. I’m not a huge fan of her movies, but damn, I’m not gonna hate right off the bat.

  • NY2CaliLvn

    She looks exactly like Tina Knowles Jay gotts him a prelude n case he aint know

  • thisrighthereaintnothinbutbs

    She caught the holy ghost….Ummm excuse me??? I doubt that seriously…maybe something “other” kind of sprirt…she said so herself!!!!

    can’t live without you

    I trust you, I trust you with every ounce of me

    Just teach me boy teach me just take me

    When we make love I can feel all your spirits

    Deep inside of me yea

    Baby you’re so pure oh

  • thisrighthereaintnothinbutbs
