Harvard grad huh? I guess that makes him ok.

Vapid celebs…

So, Bush graduated from Yale.

David wouldn’t have made it a semester at an HBCU.

I guess he made a good salary from I luv NY..maybe he get a movie role from this relationship

I like Jennifer, but wasn’t she just engaged to her longtime boyfriend just last year?? Now, she is engaged to someone else. Wow, I think Hollyweird is starting to take effect.

What happened to her high school sweetheart who she was engaged to last year after the Oscars!! I guess she left his behind in Chi-Town. I guess he didn’t have the staying power that a clown who left his job as a lawyer to go on a reality show to win the hand of some nasty chick!! Husband material!! NOT!!!

I see the Jet Magazine, but where’s the beauty?

Wish them the best,but Jennifer you better take a page from Star Jones and get that prenup.

This is why I love Jenny. She doesn’t give a rat’s azz about what people think about her or her situation. Kudos to her! She seems like a very confident woman, and by the way, he was on Oprah with her the other day and he does not look gay, but people are always going to speculate about something. Since I don’t personally know the man, I’m going to leave the judgments to everyone else.

You go, Jenny, and congrats girl.

Jennifer is so beautiful.. but maybe you will like more 18+ girls here — i n t e r r a c i a l c h a t s.c o m, it is a site for black and white.. spoil and have fun.

CONGRAT’S JENNIFER!!!!!!!

GOOD LUCK IN ALL THINGS AND I HOPE IT ALL WORKS OUT FOR YOU!!!!!!!

WASHINGTON – The world economy will slow sharply this year and next, with the United States likely sliding into recession reflecting mounting damage from the most dangerous financial jolt in more than a half-century.

The International Monetary Fund, in a World Economic Outlook released Wednesday, slashed growth projections for the global economy and predicted the United States — the epicenter of the financial meltdown — will continue to lose traction.

“The world economy is now entering a major downturn in the face of the most dangerous shock in mature financial markets since the 1930s,” the IMF said in its report.

The IMF now projects that the global economy, which grew by a hardy 5 percent last year, will lose considerable speed, slowing to 3.9 percent this year. It is forecast to weaken even more — to just 3 percent — next year, marking the worst showing since 2002. In the past, the IMF has called global growth of 3 percent or less the equivalent to a global recession.

The IMF’s projection was made before the Federal Reserve and six other major central banks from around the world slashed interest rates Wednesday in an attempt to prevent a financial crisis from becoming a global economic meltdown.

The Fed reduced its key rate from 2 percent to 1.5 percent. In Europe, which also has been hard hit by the financial crisis, the Bank of England cut its rate by half a point to 4.5 percent, while the European Central Bank sliced its rate to 3.75 percent.

Also taking part were the central banks of China, Canada, Sweden, and Switzerland. The Bank of Japan said it strongly supported the actions.

The financial crisis, which erupted in the United States in August 2007 and has quickly spread around the globe, entered a tumultuous new phase last month, badly shaking confidence in global financial institutions and markets, the IMF said. It has triggered a cascading series of bankruptcies, forced mergers and radical government interventions — such as the United States’ unprecedented $700 billion financial bailout — to stem the fallout.

The new projections come before a gathering of the world’s top economic powers on Friday and the weekend meetings of the IMF and the World Bank. The jarring financial crisis is likely to figure prominently in those discussions.

In the United States, the economy, which grew by 2 percent last year, is projected to slow to 1.6 percent this year. Growth would screech to a virtual halt in 2009, barely budging at just 0.1 percent. That would mark the worst showing since 1991, when the country was pulling out of a recession.

“With a recession now looking increasingly likely, the key questions are, how deep will the downturn be, when will a recovery get under way and how strong will it be?” the IMF asked. Much will hinge on how effective the United States’ steps to stabilize financial markets and get credit flowing more freely again turn out to be. Another important factor is whether these and other actions turn around U.S. consumers, whose retrenchment is hurting the economy.

The IMF — and many private economists — believe the U.S. economy will probably contract in the final three months of this year and the first three months of next year, meeting a classic definition of a recession. The economy’s last recession was in 2001.

The government’s bailout package is aimed at thawing lending by buying bad mortgage-related debt from troubled financial institutions. The idea is that the banks’ books would then be cleaner, putting them in a better position to lend and get the economy moving.

The IMF said this effort should help to stabilize markets but even so “the process of balance-sheet repair will be long and arduous.” Credit availability is likely to remain constrained throughout 2009, the IMF said.

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke warned in a speech Tuesday that the economy’s outlook for this year has darkened and the pain could last for some time. His remarks were seen as heralding the rate cut Tuesday.

Looking at other countries, Germany’s growth will slow to 1.8 percent this year, down from 2.5 percent last year. France’s growth will weaken to just 0.8 percent, compared with 2.2 percent in 2007. Britain’s economy will see growth taper to 1 percent, down from 3 percent last year. Canada’s growth will tail off to 0.7 percent this year, from 2.7 percent last year.

In Japan, growth will cool to just 0.7 percent, from 2.1 percent last year.

Global powerhouses China and India will see growth clock in this year at a robust 9.7 percent and 7.9 percent, respectively. Even if those projections prove correct, they would still mark downgrades from their blistering performances last year. Russia’s economy should grow by a brisk 7 percent this year, down from 8.1 percent last year.

Inflation around the world remains high, driven up by surging energy and food prices through much of this year.

It will be tricky for Bernanke and his counterparts in other countries to navigate weak growth and inflation pressures, the IMF said.

“The immediate policy challenge is to stabilize financial conditions, while nursing economies through a period of slow activity and keeping inflation under control,” it said.

Good luck Jennifer

I like David. Now that he has gotten rid of his process I don’t have a bad thing to say about him.

I can’t believe how he was weeping over New York & brown-nosing to get in good graces with her mom.

Him being on that show & acting the way he did says alot about his character…. or lack thereof.

Creeping around that house, gossiping like a yard bird, waiting on New York to give him attention.

The most sad & degrading part of those dating shows are when the contestants wait for them to come home from a date…sitting staring at the door, waiting on the stairs, lurking by their room….

Sad & scary. I’m surprised nobody got shanked.

He’s probably going to talk her into doing a reality show.

JENNIFER WAKEUP!

David or Punk is a flamer I’m serious he likes to use the backdoor and he’ll pretend to like using the frontdoor with you as long as his name is somewhere in the “Spotlight”…This is another case of JLo using Diddy to gain fame only gay BEWARE!

THIS IS THE NEW JENNY FROM THE BLOCK!!!!!!!

Go Head, J-Hud!

A woman who is happy with herself would not need to front with a Bi-Sexual/DL man. I present exhibits:

1. Terry McMillian and her Batty Boy

2. Star Jones and her Batty Boy

Slim: Waiting To Exhale, Stella Got her Groove Back author. Google her name of Wikkipedia her.

@ slim… Terry McMillian is an legendary black author. Tell me you playing, and you knew that? lol

Wait wasn’t JHud just on Barbara Walters special defending her relationship with dude she went to prom with? Wasn’t she defiant in her decision to marry what’s his face? That was a few months before Sex & The City came out right?

How long could she & Punk have been together & how can he afford a 5 carat ring????

Why does it seem like successful sistas are ok marrying beneath them?

1} Mary & Kendu {don’t know what songs he “produce” besides HERS}

2} Toni Braxton & her husband {Don’t even know ole boy’s name}

3} Comedian Monique & her husband {Who is He?}

4} now defunct Star & Ms. Al Reynolds {he was suppose to be a financial “wall street” big wig but quickly turned into a house husband after marrying Star}

@ladybug>>>I don’t know what happened to Jenny and James or whether she broke it off or not, but maybe HE couldn’t handle her fame. You know how some men are with their egos. Here she was in obscurity and now she’s well-known. Not too many mates can handle that. Who knows? We don’t know these people so I’m not going to speculate.

@ Aoki Lee… your right.

You know what it would seems a little better if they were just dating. But to jump from non-exsistent to almost married. Seems a tad bit desperate and un-perpared. I wont judge her, but on the outside trying to look in, it does seems a bit off.

well congrats to her anyway, maybe she know something we dont, but we’ll see…….

Aoki Lee(Check me out!)

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

That means that all celebs should only date celebs. That would make for some very slim pickings for them. None of the men you named are scrubs and David is not a scrub. He is a Harvard educated lawyer who is currently employed. Al may not be making a million dollars, but he is a college professor now that he is forced to work. He’s not some scrub that couldn’t earn a living without his wife.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

@Aoki Lee

Because love doesn’t know salary requirements.The only couple you mentioned that are not still together is Star and Al and thats because he loves men more than she does.The other 3 women seem happy with their choices.

@ Bird… you made a good point. But why does it seem like after they break up the guy tries to seek financial support. For example, that is exactly, what terry mcmillian husband tried to do. and so did star jones husband. I guess they got custom to the better living. But I agree with you, that their not dirt poor, but I dont think they had it as good as they did when they were with those women. But still good point.

He bought that ring and she will pay the bill.

He is an opportunist and he plays the game so well.

it’s really sad to hear young people with so much jealousy and hate in their hearts. think about it, this young, beautiful black talented woman is living out her dreams and all you all on this site wanna do is judge her on how she lives her life. always look in the mirror before you look at others. peace.

@brio..

I think that was a tad unfair to claim. If anything she’s getting alot of praise, and more concern then anything. I speak for myself and I’m sure some others would agree, J.Hud is not your attetion seeking, over-exposed, half naked celebrity. She shows alot of respect for who she is and what she represents. I would like to see her happy myself. It’s not hate. It’s the fact that if she was a sister, friend or relative I would still make the same comments. She seems to be on the right path, but who is engaged to a man who just left “I love NY” which is full of attention seeking, stupid baffons. So if anything, I want to see the sista excel to the highest level possible and hope this dude that came out of nowhere, has her best intrests at heart, like some of her fans.

I would hate to see her go thru what Terry McMillan, and star jones went thru. Who are OLDER women. You tried to blast everyone because you assume we are young, (which I am, same age as Jen) but look who made the foolish mistakes in marrying these GAY GOLD-DIGGING MEN.

Nice try…….You have a nice one

Sheeeeeeeeeeet!

NOT winning AI was probably one of the best things that’s happened to her.

Shut ‘em down girl!

Shut ‘em down!!!!!!!!!!

@ Nina knows–

I would tend to agree with your comment just above mine.

I might also add that–trying to be an up and coming entertainer, taking on projects that will keep you busy for months at a time, ending one relationship while so quickly engaging in another one sooooooo soon–

Well, that can spell disaster! It’s any one of them itself that can be emotionally draining!

If I was her mother, sister, or older significant positive female in her life–I would tell her to concentrate on her career while she’s young. She can make business and personal decisions that can affect her future.

HE CAN AFFORD THE RING BECAUSE HE WORKS FOR A VERY WELL-KNOWN PRACTICE IN CHI-TOWN (HES A LAWYER) AND I DID SOME RESEARCH.. COME TO FIND OUT.. THEY GREW UP IN THE SAME PART OF CHI-TOWN AND KNEW SOME OF THE SAME PEOPLE… AND HOOKED UP THRU FRIENDS

ANY MAN…ANY…WHO CALLS HIMSELF ‘PUNK’ OR ALLOWS HIMSELF TO BE CALLED ‘PUNK’ (WHICH MEANS ‘QUEER’ WHO TAKES IT UP THE ASS IN JAIL OR ‘SUCKA’) IS GAY GAY GAY.

NOW I THINK JENNIFER IS JUST ANOTHER FAT GIRL (STAR JONES) WHO FEELS SHE CANNOT DO BETTER THAN TO PLAY HERSELF WITH A KNOWINGLY GAY ASS MAN. THAT OR SHE GOT ODY IS A TURNED OUT BY ALICIA KEYS AND/OR LATIFAH WHILE FILMING ‘BEES’.

SOMEBODY IS A QUEER.

I still can’t understand how Jennifer won an oscar just by acting like a black woman; there are so many wonderful African American actresses who have way more talent and have been in more challenging roles than playing a black woman who picks the wrong man for the wrong reason, gets used, than gets angry. And speaking of African American roles in movies, when are we going to get our movie producers to start filming epics about African American history beginning with the dawn of man, Egypt, black inventors, etc. Instead of all these silly, ignorant movies which doesn’t even begin to showcase our impact on society, nor the abilities of our actors.

To the fellas,

Did yall see the beauty of the week from Tupaloo, MS(sp?).

God Dammmnnn
