Young, Black, and Fabulous :: I Don’t Have To Make This Ish Up.: Naomi Gets Nekkid+Garcelle’s Balance Game Is On Point+JD Dishes About Janet

    Naomi Gets Nekkid+Garcelle’s Balance Game Is On Point+JD Dishes About Janet

    Na Na Campbell is all over the pages of i-D magazine:

     Some pics NSFW…

    And only she could pull off artsy nakedness like this:

    Interesting. 

    How Garcelle maintains her balance is beyond me.  She hit up the Hollywood premiere of Gone Baby Gone last night:

    Twins my ass.  That’s 3 kids minimum.

    Kanye says he’s about to design his own jewelry line. But no worries…they won’t be ALL diamonds.

    So this Football Wives show is still in limbo over at ABC.  But you can check out some of the episode and cast pics:

    It looks like the extra dramatized version of The Game…and I love it.  Gabby Unionstars as a model turned wifey of a star wide receiver played by Brian White.  And Holly Robinson Peete plays the mother in law.  The YBF chicks are looking uberly fab.  I’ll be watching…An excerpt from Jermaine Dupri’s new memoirs Young, Rich, and Dangerous: The Making of a Music Mogul has been leaked.  And y’all know it was conveniently about Ms. Jackson:

    CHAPTER 12: WE BELONG TOGETHER gives readers a glimpse into the author’s personal life, and his relationship with longtime love Janet Jackson.

    Things have always been so easy between us. There was none of the usual pressure I felt with my girlfriends in the past. Like me, my girl was deep in the business from day one. Like me, her family was always involved. Like me, she was constantly traveling and working. She understands how your work can take you away. She does get jealous, but with her I’m not always on the defensive, trying to explain how it is.

    It wasn’t long after we got together on that dream vacation when I met her whole family. It was Thanksgiving weekend when they invited me down to L.A. for a gathering. They don’t do Thanksgiving, but they get together for a big family dinner.

    I was real nervous. When it’s a girl with six brothers of course you’re gonna be intimidated. I was thinking the worst and worried they would ask me all the hard questions of life. I knew they’d be real protective of the baby in the family. But they didn’t grill me at all. They were just real gracious and nice, joking around with each other and saying, “Pass the biscuits please.”

    I couldn’t get over how normal the whole family was. The Jacksons were just a regular black family with black people [stuff] going on! They play board games together. Jan’s mom is even more competitive than I am. She can’t stand to lose and she won’t give it up to anyone. The kids all argue and tease each other like siblings do and throw down when it’s time to eat. They tease me too. La Toya’s always making fun of me and mimicking me on the phone. Jan finds it hilarious.

    The Jacksons let me in with open arms. When they were all going through it over Michael’s trial, I spoke up for them. I wanted to defend the family’s honor. They’re just nice, loving people who deserved better than getting raked over the coals in the media. I also did it because it was important for Janet. The trial was rough on her. She and Michael were always so close.

    Getting together with Jan was the first time in my life I felt like I was with a woman who’s also a friend and a partner. I feel like I can breathe around her. Now I have someone who is more than my equal and who I can bounce things off of. Jan will give me an intelligent answer. She’s educated and she knows stuff.

    Life with Jan is just real normal. When we hang out, we hang out at home. She’s a homebody. We don’t want to be out on the road all the time.

      Please note that I DO have the latest browser on all my computers and indeed none of them change the layout of this new site. There is an issue and it’s not entirely with us. I would rather see the old layout if this is going to be the case. I understand that there’s always a kink in the chain when switching over, but this is crazy. Good luck with it.

      Hey Natasha,

      I am an avid YBF reader, however, I must say… I do not like this new look. It’s not the web browser, because I do have the latest (and considered the greatest) version. I am all for new things… but if you do not have it right yet, go back to the old version.

      It’s annoying to read. I would go back to Bossip & C&D for my scoop. Those sites are easier to read… All this white space and ads are killing me. It looks like SPAM-villa.

      Please do better before you lose your loyal readers.

      Best,

      M.

I view your site often on my phone and had no problem in doing so w/the old blog-site; but now that it’s an actual website and not a blog-site anymore, I’m having all kinds of problems!!! All of the other “gossip/news” websites have mobile versions… please advise, thanks so much!

      Natasha,

      I don’t like this site at all. I understand the need for change but this site feels like every other celebrity blog. There was something about the old site that seemed more homey, more personal. As a visual artist (painter) the colors are a little unbalanced. Can we at least do something else with the font and colors?

      Hi Natasha

      I’m not feeling your new site either, When I first logged in I thought it was a mistake or maybe someone took over your site or something. who ever helped you designed this you tell them to give you all your $$$ back, and then you can ask one of these high school children that knows what there doing to help you design your blogspot for a little bit of nothing. I’m sorry I’m just keepin it real. Or if it was done for free I see why, you get what you pay for

      Peace and Blessings

      hey…I like the change…and if you have to do ads..do you …

      all i ask is just scoot the postings over just a little bit so that it all aligns at the top, rather than scrolling down half the page. Thats all I ask. I like the change, but I know you can do better. Its not the browser, boo.

      also they seem to be a collective from…the fringe i guess or maybe they just don’t have any friends-not to mention it’s not as black as YBF and I wouldn’t be surprised if fools are lying about their race on there.

      So kaykay(kay), some C+D commenters asked you not to use a gay slur out of respect for the handful of gay people who regularly visit the site, and this means that they are less black than YBF? I’m sure the regulars at this site aren’t a fan of the word fag either and it doesn’t make them less or more black to feel that way. Can you post a picture so we can see what your foolish ass looks like?

      Yeah it’s pretty terrible. The color scheme is BLAH, the dark purple to white contrast hurts my eyes, The fonts are a terrible choice. The “READ THE REST” is absolutely TERRIBLE. I hate clicking a million times just to read an article. Short ass articles and posts should not have a “READ THE REST” button. That’s just straight up stupid. I’m glad there is a new site, but damn, did you not have any say so in the design? It’s like you just blindly let someone deliver a site to you, and then you put it up with all kinds of kinks. I think you should update it ASAP. Better color scheme, better fonts, remove “READ THE REST,” and make it suitable for IE 6+ because many readers look at the site during work and are unable to update work browsers. From one blogger to another. Peace.

      Your new site is awesome and its much faster.

      I think the show is based on a BBC show called Footballers Wives. It is about the wives of Soccar players. It is a cross between sex in the city, desparate housewives and melrose place. It is all that and if they can successfully pull it off it will be big!

      Kudos! Kudos! I like the creativity that you tried to capture. However, a milder or calmer color would be soothing to the eye. It now looks like a gossip column instead of reading your friends letter. The other site was more accomodating. When appealing to a mass or commercial audience, sometimes it can take our true essence away. And your essence still remains.

      For everyone who is bashing Tasha for what she is doing. Send some money when you’re making your requests to revert back to “old” way of things. It is highly entertaining and worth more than the tired mags you have at your local newstand.

      So until then GET A GRIP!!!!

      Hey, I really love this site. I stumbled across it while looking up a pictures for my project. I love it alot though…. however this format is not whats happening at all. I like the other one better it was cute and had style. If you are going to upgrade- do it bigger and better and you know thats what you’re about. I am still gonna be a faithful visitor though, and keep doin you.

      I’m so NOT feeling the new site look. But I’m still loving YBF! That said, Naomi is perfect. She is the epitome of beauty, style, fierceness and perfection in a diva. Her body can’t be touched by any woman on Earth!

      Garcelle is such a lovely pregnant lady, but even I feel uncomfortable just watching the bulge she is sporting right now. She’s getting ready to pop for real though.

      I still don’t think JD and Janet make the best couple.

      I have to agree…Me No Likey, either! I’m all for change but - this ain’t the business! The information and your comments are still FAB. I know it was a lot of work but…Maybe you can reconsider?

      I don’t like that I have to click to see the rest of the post.Other than that, the new site is fine. If you plan to keep the “read the rest” part, at least split up the post so that we can read the beginning of each topic and decide if we feel tat it is worth the click to read the rest.

      ^Thanks that was helpful. It shows what I said before, unless you have the LATEST browser software (like IE-7), u will get the white space. It takes 5 minutes to upgrade and it’s free.

      Hi Natasha -
      I am not a hater, and I love me some YBF…been reading it for darn near two years, but this site is not an improvmement. I will not go to any other site. I love me my YBF,but the color scheme and overall layout looks amateurish compared to your other site. The other layout and color choices were much better. It would not be considered a failure to go back. Please take the majority of your readers’ wishes into consideration.

      WE LOVE YOU AND YBF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Natasha, pleeeeeeeeeeeease go back to the old site!!! In all honesty, its not cool to have to click to read more! What most of us liked about your page was the user friendly readability. This seems like it WANTS to be hi-tech and fancy and it not getting it. Too much hassle, too much white; you were so fabulous before… no need to change a good thing!!! we won’t be mad if you go back…

      The Football Wives show is an adaptation of the British show “Footballers Wives”,except its about soccer.And that one is really good, it comes on BBC. Hopefully this one can be just as good.

      Natasha ~ I have to agree with most people the website is nothing like before - BORING!!! I don’t enjoy reading YBF anymore b/c new layout distracts from your random pictures and lack of information.

      why is it that when someone doesnt like something,they are immediately identified as a ‘hater’ can’t you just genuinely not like something or someone and not be labeled as ‘hater’ or accused of ‘hating’ it’s just lame. If I say someone is unattractive, I am not hating. I’m just xpressing an opinion. Also, what sorority is Natasha a member of? Please educate me

      She’s a member of delta sigma theta (she went to my school)….N-E-Ways….I’m not a hata (hell I’ve been addicted to your site for awhile now) but I must agree with some things. I like that you updated your site but I too liked how you did longer posts and everything just flowed so easily. Its what really made your site stand out to me. I think everyone just is scared that ybf is starting to look like other sites when this one always stood apart as unique. Just my 2 cents.
