Alicia, Jay-Z, Iman, & Diddy Hit The 4th Annual Black Ball Concert+Eve & Christina Get Candid
YBF folks hit up the 4th Annual “Black Ball” Concert for “Keep A Child Alive” at the Hammerstein Ballroom last night:



Ms. Keys and Iman stay looking fabulous.


Bored much?

Alicia chatted it up with Bono.
Russey Simmons brought the new girlfriend around again:


And Iman looked ridiculously fab as usual:



Cute.
So Beyonce done went and joined the Ethiopian Orthodox Church?:

Apparently they honored her while she was touring churches in Ethiopia last week. And People is reporting on how well she performed her girlfriend duties at VH-1’s recent taping of “Jay-Z: Life of an American Gangster” taping. *Gag* Just jokes…kinda. Speaking of Bigga, both of them are headlining a New Years Eve show in Vegas to celebrate the 40/40 club opening there. Nice.

Madame Tussad’s in NY unveiled Biggie’s new wax statue yesterday. Very interesting.
Christina Milian was spotted on the streets recently leaving a business lunch at Mr. Chows:




Eve was caught by surprise recently at the spa. It could have been worse…

And Papa Kravitz and Zoe hit the streets to shop recently. If she’s not her mother’s daughter…

I need Alicia’s outfit.

Third? Alicia is looking damn good these days! Jay Z has on something…looks like a ghetto prom fit. Learn something from Diddy please?!

Alicia looks gorgeous..And Natasha is right about Eve! It could have been worse, but she actually looked ok..just a few blemishes..
Also Christina Milian is not relevant anymore..She should really consider another career path..NO ONE buys her records..and sadly she’s too short to model like Rhianna. She’s a so/so actress..Maybe she should open up a restaurant since she spends so much time in them..having “business lunches”..lol..Something..

How the heck is the Beyonce thing about her supporting Jay even newsworthy? Do they expect her to break up with him for telling an off-color joke?
smh

Russell Simmons’s chick is BANGIN’!!! she’s givin Kimora Simons a run for her money … except wen it comes to money.
Christina Milian is sexy as hell with no effort.
Why are Lenn Kravitz’s jeans tighter than his daughter’s jeans???

@Lord Hannibal IMO- Russell Simmons’ girl aint got Shit on Kimora, she is not an ugly woman but when I look at her I dont see anything special she looks like an FBI/CIA agent, she is not FAB at all and at the end of the day that is all that matters to Kimora so I doubt very seriously is she is hating!!!!!!
Alicia is really pulling it together I like the hair, tired of the typical long weave with the loose curls.
Iman’s hair looks so good
Why does Beyonce look like she on some Michael Jackson Ish, with the skin.

Ok first things first, Alicia Keys, what can i say she stay fabulous lately!
Christina Milian is so fierce in that little beige outfit. I love that color. She never ashy out here in these streets.. And what kind of shoes are those??
FAbulous! Everybody else aint worth mentioning!

I really like Ms. Keys outfit, but I think the dress was too short especially with those cankles.
On Oct 26, 2007 | Reply | Quote
Jay Z looks horrible. Alicia Keys has some thick thighs…and her eyes always look sleepy in atleast one of her photos. Russell S. girlfriend has a big ass head. Cristina Milian and Iman look beautiful!
On Oct 26, 2007 | Reply | Quote
Alicia’s looks amazing. I love the shoes and the dress.
Iman is the most fabulous model ever.
I like Christina’s suit,shoes and bag.
How much did Diddy paid to have Madame Tussad’s because the folks who run Madame Tussad’s have no idea who Biggie was.

There’s only one thing that made this post worthwhile for me:
LENNY KRAVITZ
*dies*
I heart that man so much!
Oh yeah, Beyonce, touring churches? Did she sing Freakum Dress and Kitty Kat up in the pulpit?
Great images all around

Ms. Keys is lookin too cute! I love the dress!
Oh and just for the record I am completely jealous of Christina. She looks effortlessly fab all the time!

Beyonce’ is the luckiest girl in the world. She should write a book called “How to be like Bey”. When I joined a church all i did was sign a book and recieve a tithe envelpoe.

This is a great post! Iman is a vision in that dress. and um…I don’t get the Lohan joke…

Christina’s outfit was very cute, and the shoes are off the chain…
I thought that Zoe looked just like her daddy in that pic…

-A.Keys looks simply amazing
-So does Jigga and Diddy
-Christina is a beautiful girl, but this outfit looks cheesy, the shoes should match the entire unit like that.

EVERYONE LOOKS NIOE! SHE DIDN’T JOIN THE CHURCH EITHER, THEY WERE SIMPLY JUST HONORING HER PRESENCE WHILE IN ETIOPIA. SHE ALSO VISITED THE ORPHNAGE, AND HELPED PLANT SEEDLINGS TO CELEBRATE ETHIOPIA’S NEW YEAR. THIS WOULD HAVE MADE A GREATER IMPACT HAD IT BEEN PUT UP LAST WEEK. IT’S AMAZING HOW THE BLOGS CRAB ABOUT HER STATEMENT ABOUT WISHING SHE WAS LATINA, YET SHE IS ETHIOPIA AND IT JUST GET’S THROWED IN ON A POST,WHERE HE NAME ISN’T EVEN MENTIONED IN THE TITLE, GO BLACK PEOPLE, WE ARE OUR OWN WORST ENEMY!

I LOVE this website! First of all, Iman is such a lady, she always looks so gorgeous! But i’m a little confused as to what is cute about christina milians forever 21 skirt suit?? She looks as tacky as can be, and needs to up her style game before she’s taken seriously in the industry! Her outfit looks like it straight fell out of 1997 and slapped her in the face.

Russells girl looks a lil’ like Rhi-Rhi but OMG is her head LONG or what???? I’m just saying. We could watch a serious movie on that 8-head. Definately not an upgrade from Kiki its a downgrade in my book.

Orthodox - Is The FIRST - Alpha.
(Seeing Byonce “Big DUH Country” sitting up there kinda ruins it - not like a princess with that weak expression, more like a girl who is used to being told what to do how to move, where to sit - but respect to the “priests” who show Love on All. )
I love David and Iman they are so good together and Iman is such a timeless dignified beauty.
AKeys Atreetrunks & Acankles - man!
Zoe is so cute! Look just like her Mama. Her dad is well a little Pretentious a bit if a Poseur - hi music is okay.
Me Loves Bono….
Okay, plastic Biggieee Freakyyyyyyy, Yikes.

*Beyonce looks stupid as usual sitting on that stage amongst dignataries…here me I say DIGNATARIES..but she looks pretty nonetheless.
*Iman needs to eat..she looks way too sickly
*Alicia Keys need not to wear that kind of dress that clearly shows that she has no breasts
*ok, I’m done with my hate for the day

I saw the “off color” comment. It’s about Lindsay Lohan…a known crackhead. No different from what hundreds of blogs (and some “legit” newspapers) say everyday.
Christina Milian’s outfit is cute, but definitely not appropriate at a business lunch. Unless it’s a business lunch with Hustler magazine.

Jay-Z looks a mess. I appreciate his effort but he failed miserably with this one. and Russy betta keep his chick away from Diddy!!!!!………Alicia needs to ALWAYS wear jeans or long dresses. Her legs don’t match her body at all!!!!! I can’t talk with my little chicken legs but hers are like tree stumps. Her make-up is always always always on point…. Christina Milian looks amazing. She has always been a cute girl. Acting in her forte’ not singing. She must hold stock in Mr Chow’s as much as she eats there. Is it just me or do her legs look a bit hairy in one of those flicks?!?!? ……. Every country Beyonce goes to she always adapts to the styles of that country. She is fabulous!!!!!! …. http://www.stylerazzi.blogspot.com

And damn Eve trying to get her R&R on and the paparazzi all up in the spa?? WTH?

CHERLYNNMIAMI,

But thanks for the info. I read the church honored her…which is in and of itself a dichotomy, but it’s cool she’s getting so much love
especially from the Motherland.

Chick- you must be out of your rabbit ass mind to think for a millimeter of a second that Russ’ new chick can compare in any way shape form or fashion to Kimora!!!!! Kimora has it all…. this new B*TCH is some random chick that is obviosuly good looking but she DOES NOT have the total package. Look at her outfit, Tasha I am suprised you didn’t clown ‘ol girls outfit…-with the tights and those ugly as pumps + what the F*CK is the point of that damn leather jacket????? she’s lookin like she is going to somebody’s 9-5 job. Kimora is the BOMB!!! and no chick can step to her. She has a presence that commands your attention. Plus, she has his heart, money, and kids. No new Biotch can get w/ Kimora. so lay off of her because you wont win.-Boo

yea christina, i dunno where in the hell she was goin wit that skimpy behind outfit, lol, what kind of business meeting was that? her shoes are fierce tho…n that wax sculpture doesnt even look like biggie that much, sumthin about the eyes…iman looks gorgeous, and so does alicia…eve actually doesnt look that bad, she looks comfortable and relaxed n its cute, a lot of which i havent seen from celebrity females

my comment was to ms. Teena who was talkin ish about Kimora, Teena you must be tacky or old to think that this new biotch is even comparable….

Russell’s girlfriend is pretty, and she do favor Rhianna. I don’t know why Kimora fans are acting out like they were personally attacked. Strange. It’s not that serious….unless you are her, hmmm…
Christina’s outfit is banging! She’s a pretty girl.
Diddy is always dressed to impress.

To all who dont know-that IS Alicias real hair! Its hella long and she IS biracial.its very natural and possible for her to have that hair!lucky butt. But Beyonce? Damn what DOES her real hair look like?Why is she afraid to sport her natural texture?

I dont wanna be mean or attack beyonce, but shouldnt we, for once, praise and look up to an african american woman who LOOKS or wants to EMBRACE her African features.the majority of black women dont have light skin, light eyes, and long wavy hair-those are anglo features. I just wanna see a superstar black female that looks like a black sista!Can i get a amen!

I got it…I promise… Still, I just think the whole business of celebrity worship is foolishness… I understand paying attention to them, I understand their popularity… BUT the whole idea of bestowing these ridiculous honors on them…ugh!
But, I get you…you want to see black people exalt someone who actually looks black…or who celebrates and embraces natural African features…I get you… But you’ve got to understand, while it’s a hard, cold truth, the truth about Beyonce’s celebrity is that she looks like SO MANY BLACK WOMEN WANT TO LOOK: light skin, keen features, large almond shaped eyes, coke bottle shape as opposed to the pear shape of most African American women… The truth is, if she didn’t have those features, she wouldn’t be so famous…

In response to the Bey comment and wanting a black woman with black featuers to represent..I agree wholeheartedly however Beyonce did not choose to be born light skinned with European features. Her father is blacker than the aces of spades..she just so happened to resemble her mother. Regardless of her skin color she is a beautiful girl. Do we need to see more chocolate sisters praised..YES..but at the end of the day she can only BE BEY!!

I think Alicia Keys is the bomb! She shows that you can still be flat chested and have a great shape!I’m so glad she didn’t get implants. I love her legs..yes they are thick but she is not ashamed. In a Hollywood where there is so much pressure to be thin, even among, black entertainers, she is maintaining her own. She is so natural looking to me, even her weaves are natural looking. She is a beautiful girl, she doesn’t get nearly enough praise…..

She was born with a weave, blonde hair, and lash extensions? Yes, I said she had “large almond shaped eyes” and “keen features” but I was speaking of her image, period… It’s obvious that she both emphasizes and creates what most consider “European” about her looks…
I should stop, I don’t mean to argue against her, really I don’t…I just don’t get the fascination with her…she is a beautiful girl who makes illiterate music…??? It’s crazy…ANd, I guarantee you that her new CD will not be a departure from the silly norm, as opposed to making good music in ‘08, a solid record with meaningful, artistic tracks, she’s only going to diet excessively and work out until she’s not as bloated as she is now because she knows her celebrity is more about her looks than anything else… And, it’s a shame…it is pathetic that she should be such a fixture in the black community…
Other races celebrate kitsch and nonsense, but they’re just partying…it is only our race, though, that tries to almost canonize the silliest, most moronic people… there is simply NO REASON a pretty woman should be so revered, no reason… those Ethiopian representatives look like fools…

- I love Christina’s shoes! The outfit is cute on HER! She worked it out. It fits her petite frame. I will admit a splash of color would have been nice though.
