Do you need a prom dress for Spring 08? Mama Tina and B are trying to lace you with a Dereon Prom Dress from their new “upscale” Prom dress line. Can’t wait to see the bedazzled foolishness walking up in hotel ballrooms in the spring…

Cee-Lo and JD were spotted at Cee-Lo’s “Cee-Lo and Diesel” Love atlanta party at the High Museum in the ATL last night:

This chick is determined to remain stylish big pregnant and all. Loves it.

Not really loving this lil outfit but I must applaud her for stepping outside the box with her style game these days. If only she could do the same with her talent. Or lack thereof…

Rosie P. made an appearance at “The Ritz” Broadway Opening Night at Planet Hollywood last night:

She’s starring in the play.

And Maxwell popped up randomly too. I’m still waiting on his triple disc cd set that was supposed to be out like last year.

The Randomness:

  1. Mychal Bell of the Jena 6 is back in jail after the judge and DA were determined to rail him on some previous misdemeanor charges. I guess a year in adult prison just wasn’t enough for Opie and Co.
  2. Be sure to check out the brand new YBF Forums and the YBF Chatroom to talk even more about celebs and anything else. Even more celeb pics will be posted over at the Forums consistently.

    *Rihanna is killin’ it right now… but it’s a trip how she’s getting ownership to the bob Kelis and Cheri Dennis were rocking last year, Beyonce had in her Me, Myself, and I vid, and just about every chick had in the 90’s. Guess like Tyra said, “You can steal it, but you must make it YOUR OWN!”
    *JD’s arm looks like it is holding an invisble crutch and his hand is missing…

    Firstly, Janet’s Fab comes effortlessly.

    Second, Dereon + Prom = FABOO.

    And, Lastly, Natasha I’m loving the new setup but I agree with glam0urgrl we can do with the read the rest links.

    STAY FAB!!

    two words for Ce-lo Heart Attack(look at Kanye’s skin and eyes - that is healthy)

    whoa - nice stab at Ri-Ri

    Stay political and active everybody - don’t let stuff happen TO YOU.

    How many of y’all were so angry re: Jena but - How many of you/us wrote to our local rep or the local reps in LA to make yourself heard??!! (sigh most of us don’t do anything until something happens to us)

    This happens and will continue to happen - ’cause we do not act. It happens in every city all over the USA/World- to Many, many, many, many young black folk, poor folk. A LOT os us are in the prison industry system. And the industry is growing.

    Remember - you have a voice - and should you choose to, you can use it…..

    -Janet is the most fabulous. She always looks classy. I like Jill Scott but she looked a mess next to Janet.

    -Halle is showing just because you’re preg doesn’t not mean you have look busted.

    -Rihanna’s talent is modeling. She is more model than any of the girls on ANTM.

    -Kelis’ plain pants. LOL

    -JD make a little friend in Cee-Lo

    I like the site and I know the owner has the right to say whatever she pleases, but after seeing Nastasha, I am a bit surprised that she continues to heavily critique others and tell people to keep trying or give it up. She went on national TV frumpy and messy! The nerve??!!

    Rih outfit..loving it but the jeans needed a little more around the bottom..perhaps a defining hemline? Acid wash aint my style..but the cut was nice..

    Kelis…love the scarf..skip the pants..but do what you do.

    Beyonce…work it. I think the gowns might be nice..afterall..how many other black people are designing formal wear..HELLO..NEW MARKET = Mo $$$

    Usher..hot mess. New Album pls.

    Rosie, Maxwell…umm..random?

    Lastly..Kanye…that’s the way more people should see him..getting recognized for something positive…but I love him cause he can flip the script….

    i’ve been reading and supporting this blog since it’s inception..and i have never made any comments before (never felt the need)..but DAMN IT ALL if i am not tired of people complaining about growth…it’s called an upgrade..bigger, better things…how can you call yourself supporting the blog and the people who make it, if your goal in life, it seems, is to keep the site in the 17th century..get a grip on life people! dell is selling computers for 300 bucks and high speed internet is $25 a month..that solves it ALL..if you can’t afford that, then you need to be working harder and not reading blogs online..TASHA, keep doing what you do, the blog defines FABULOSITY!

    Jill’s album is BANGING..it is definitely for the grown folks. I don’t care if Janet never puts out another album, she has done her thing and is still doing it!!!!!!! I wish Halle would go back to her short hair…she is too pretty to have all that unnecessary hair. If a woman can look hot with no hair then she is a banging chick..Rihanna’s hair cut is hot and she is reinventing the bob. I love Beyonce (fellow Virgo) but it is just too much Beyonce right now..pull back some..all you YBF or Oider YBF people, have a wonderful, safe and bless weekend

Anywho, the read the rest, don’t really bother me; however, sometimes I don’t want to read the rest and just read the comments but the rest of the page loads when I click on the comment link, and I can do without that, at times.

    ————————————

    I understand where you are coming from, but one of the reasons I looked at YBF to begin with is b/c the other blogs layouts sucked. Navigation was difficult, so I gave up on a lot of them. My computer is upgraded, and I still have difficulties with the new site sometimes. I have to do a lot of extra clicking more so than the old ybf, and I still have to get used to the white background..its not so easy on my eyes :( But, Tasha is still Tasha in that the content of her posts is still fab and hilarity ish indeed!

    Rih be ON IT with her style, funky, just how like it.
    Beyonce is stll the shit and I will be buying one of them dresses.
    Miss Janet is finally acting her age: 20 times 2. Good look.
    Jill Scott is the ORIGINAL flyy girl. dont hate. Appreciate.
