YBF Exclusive: YBF Celebs Cover Black Enterprise Mags+ Rihanna & Robin Thicke Get It Poppin’+New Ish From Chris Brown & Outkast
YBF celebs are covering the upcoming December issue of Black Enterprise mag on 5 different covers:
For the very first time, BE hits newsstands with five exclusive consecutive covers, a first in the magazine’s 37-year history. The series of covers includes NBA superstar LeBron James; hip-hop phenomenon Chris Brown with gospel powerhouse Kirk Franklin; Queen Latifah; platinum chart-toppers Wyclef Jean together with John Legend, and tennis ace turned fashionista Venus Williams.
The BE HOT LIST is comprised of ultimate achievers under the age of 40 from media, music, entertainment, and sports. “These celebrities have shrewdly leveraged their fame to build multimillion-dollar empires that will sustain them beyond their careers in sports and entertainment,” said BE Editor-at-Large Carolyn Brown. “Plus, this year’s list delves outside box to include business executives, top-ranked money managers, and medical researchers whose impact on our world is undeniable.”
Rihanna and Robin Thicke are getting frisky in the new issue of GQ magazine:

Hot indeed.Speaking of Rih Rih, she was spotted at LAX airport the other day laid back and makeup-less:

And Outkast and Marsha Ambrosius have a new leaked track called “Da Art of Storytelling Part 4“on DJ Drama’s new album Gangsta Grillz: The Album. Definitely the hotness.

I LOVE this publication and appreciate the variety of celebs they’re featuring. (Especially b/c they do such a good job featuring “regular” folks, I don’t mind these celebs so much at all).

Anyhoo, not feelin’ the Rhianna-Robin Thicke shoot.
1. He’s married, and his wife is way mo’ fab.
2. Not hatin’ on Rhianna, but I’m starting to experience the “Beyonce Overload Syndrome” with her.
3. Honestly, from a photographer’s standpoint, the pics aren’t that well done. Are these pre-Photoshop? (Me and my hubby are photogs, so I’m not just being a beyotch LOL.)
SO glad I have a BE subscription!!!
Uh-oh Andre Benjamin is back…do I hear real hip-hop on the horizon?

He’s really growing on me, i been seeing alot of him. I’m on team Breezy sky’s the limit for him. I see big or rather bigger things for him.
~~Hmmm. I do like those photos with Rih and my boo Robin. He’s married but i’m almost positive he wouldn’t have done the photo shoot if she wasn’t comfortable with it first. On another note…Rih looks HOT! i’m not a big fan of hers…but damn she needs to be model for somebody.

On Nov 21, 2007 at 7:18 pm | Reply | QuoteUnless you are a messy person, who likes to spread unnecessary gossip, than you would read way too much into those pics, than what they are. Because, Robin is looking totally awkward in those pics, like he’s uncomfortable, and by the looks of those pics, they have zero chemistry. And Robin looks so uncomfortable , once again. So, those pictures are so not risque, not in the least, and I’m pretty sure, his wife, was like whatever, baby, make the money, because I’m so not phased by a little girl. Cuz, his video Lost Without You, that was chemistry.
And BE, of all the black men and women that are apart of the science world, economics, business, environment, international politics, etc, the editors chose to do another idiotic cover story on some entertainers, who do nothing to empower the world, or create a better life for our future. What about the first woman president of Liberia, or Kofi Anan, Obama, the black doctor that is a famous internationally acclaimed. People of importance.

White folks been embracin their whiteness to the exclusion of all other races for years so b!tch please, sit down and study your history. We black folk are only making up for the years when we were made to feel like being black was something to ashamed off.
And, “young white and fabulous” just does not have the same ring to it. What you doin on this blog anyways?
Its the Millienium of the Black Person so I’m afraid you’re just gonna have to deal with it.

They dominate EVERYTHING, but when another group wants to acknowledge and appreciate themselves then its questioned. We owe no answers to a group that continues to ignore our real accomplishments (beyond cooning), intellect and beauty.
Like Chris Rock so eloquently put it, “If they losing, who in the hell is winning, cause it sure ain’t us.”
That is the best way to look at the false claims of reverse racism.

As for the Rihanna/Robin Thicke pics, they are just promo pics for a magazine, people. Y’all read way too much into things, serving as the morality police. Yes, he’s married…AND? He’s an artist, and this is what artists do. It’s just promotion. Next week, someone’ll say that he’s left Paula Patton and Rihanna’s having his baby.

5–i like chris, but hate the song and video. he had too many other good choices for singles on the album. this song has been done WAY 2 much already(irreplacable, hate that i love u, good girl gone bad, etc). vid puts me to sleep. sorry breezy.
outkast’s song is decent. and i’m done

That’s not a real tat on his neck, this vid was shot a while ago and now that tat is nowhere to be seen. There is one behind his ear though. But the one shown is not real, look at the “This Christmas” vid. They were shot within the same time frame.

Pick-up a copy of the publication and read it before you offer an ignorant judgment of the title alone. You will find a shining example of a community which, in 2007, still faces bigotry by the likes of yourself.
