Role Playing
You can check out the behind the scenes footage from Urshmeka’s Essence cover shoot. Tis all.
Beyonce hit the streets after leaving the Spotted Pig restaurant this weekend:



Loves the Fendi bag. And she and Jay were caught leaving Bar Pitti last week too.
Hip Hop old heads and other folks hit up the Talentrity Hoops competition during Hip Hop Honors weekend:

Papa Knowles, Chubb Rock, Grandmaster Dee

Somebody PLEASE tell me where Papa Knowles came from.

Juelz Santana kicked it with Grandaster Dee.

Common was there. With his lil scrumptious self…

Sanatana and Swizz Beatz kicked it.

I see Melyssa Ford’s still doing ass shots.

I’m definitely feeling this Teyana chick’s style.
Look who infiltrated the scene:



Boo.

Somebody’s trying to keep the “Chicken Noodle Soup” kids relevant.

Dawn of Danity Kane switched it up to some dark hair…finally.

Chrisette Michele performed. Chick stays on the road.

And Cassidy made an appearance.

Tamia and her family’s new addition is all up in the new People magazine.
And Baby Z was spotted being a daddy’s girl at the airport:


Too cute.

Finally! We've got a few pics showing glimpses of Halle Berry's and Gabriel Aubrey's Baby Nahla. No tabloid money for these folks...they're showing off their baby old school style.

Boo @ everybody else
Oh and I like the new site.

On Oct 8, 2007 at 8:04 pm | Reply | Quote^There were damn near 100 pictures posted today and 3 were Beyonce. So who’s really the one focusing too much n her? I posted 5 of Golden and no one said anything. People always find something to say….
And nothing has changed about the comments section since the new site kicked off so I don’t know what your complaint is.

Santana looks like he is 16
Grant Hill and Family look happy
Brad is fab and you can tell he really loves Baby Z who is too cute
New York…. I have no idea what to say
Beyonce looks nice sans makeup plasterd on her face
Chrisette Michelle is doing the damn thing… at all types of events
Dawn looks so much better with dark hair
I’m feeling Teyana’s style too, since Sweet 16… different but cute
COMMON… one word… SEXY

Grant and Tamia’s kids are also precious. Men, all these cute babies.
Tameka was a biotch at the photo shoot.
Bey looks so nice here and she always looks drag-queenish when she has all that mess on. NOW I see what all the hype is about. She’s a pretty girl and she covers it up with layers of make-up.

anyhow, i love seeing him and zahara together. fucking adorable.
as for teyana, i have no idea how you are feeling her butch style, especially since all she’s wearing in that photo is a lakers uniform and a really good hairpiece.

2. @NYC Grant did “spit” that oldest daughter out, she looks nothing like Tamia at all.
3. I have to admit that it will take some time getting use to this new site, I would say I liked the old one, maybe cause I was use to it.
Did anyone watch the Hip Hop Honors.
I wanted to cry when I saw Malik(Phife dog) from a Tribe Called Quest I had no idea he was sick.
Whodini they were cranking but they all looked a mess, I remember when Extacy would wear those leather booty shorts with the blazer with no shirt.
Why does Tracy Morgan look like he weighs about 115.
Snoops daughter is cute.
I hated Pepa’s nose.
Busta look like he Stink!! he looked like a clown
It was a really good show and very entertaining

Bey is looking real plain like we all do on the regular.
B-ball game looked like some wack shit.
Luv Z. She is the most consistent thing on this page. Always adorable. And to answer somebody’s question. She is always carried on someones hip to help her congenital hip dysplasia. So Brad’s actually carrying her the wrong way.Her hip needs to be abducted as much as possible. To keep the bone in the socket.
Grant Hill wouldn’t dare go on Maury P. She is the spitting image of that nigga.

I’m so soo sooooo over Ush and Meka.
Whoever me is complaining about the number of Beyonce pics/posts needs to get a life . . . better yet, become a photographer or publicist and have one of your celeb favs do something, stand somewhere and take a pic, sing a song, do SOMETHING. If you don’t like Natasha’s site and who she posts pics or info about, don’t check it. Better yet, here’s a novel idea, start your own black celeb website, do something other than complain and make dumb comments about who pays rent for who, its not cute.

On Oct 9, 2007 at 3:07 am | Reply | QuoteBaby Z does NOT need surgery. Some tabloid put out that shiz story to sell mags. Brad’s people came out and denied the story and even said the tabloid contacted them, were told Zahara is fine and still printed the lies. Shame on them.
Brad Pitt’s publicist Cindy Guagenti has officially denied the surgery buzz that is going around, saying this:
“It’s not true, and I told the magazine that printed it - but they chose to run it anyways.”

I practically live on your site–every time I need a break from studying for the bar exam, I come here; HOWEVER, I hate this new format:(. I sooooooo prefer the old look….this site is NOT easy on the eyes.

On Oct 9, 2007 at 10:17 am | Reply | QuoteNatasha…not to be critical but… is there a way to tone down this site a little? Its a bit busy and very bright; much brighter than it needs to be. You might wanna have your design people just bring it down a notch or two. I think most of your readers would appreciate that.
And on the commnents, the text is kinda small too. Not sure why.

On Oct 9, 2007 at 10:19 am | Reply | Quote@Nia… you asked why “theybf.com” ?
I’m guessing that since someone else already owns the domain name ybf.com ,they’d probably want to charge a grip of money to sell to to Natasha if she wanted it .
So sometimes you just have to take what you can get….
