I saw Jasmine in LA in Ralphs on LaBrea and 3rd late one night. She had on no makeup and was dressed down.. Her figure is phenomenal. She obviously keeps in shape, plus she was a dancer, so I'm sure that helps. But I must say, when I saw her face without make-up, she bout scared the crap outta me. I was like Damn! I just think she just wasn't on the lucky side of the melanin track unfortunately for her. Angela Bassett looks incredible, but Vanessa Williams is aging a lot in the face as well. Halle Berry is aging well, and think Nia Long, Sanaa Lathan and Gabrielle Union are on the track to a great aging process. I know women in real life that are 50 that are aging wonderfully. I say all this to say it's the luck of the melanin draw! But I commend her for not running under the knife and looking crazy like Vivica Fox and Lil Kim! They look horrible now and they didn't even need the surgery!

[quote comment="17100"][quote comment="17084"][quote comment="17059"]I too agree with DD and the likes. We women bash eachother harshly when we begin to age. I just turned 26 and I already feel that my young days are gone. The older women I work with are so angry with their ages. Most of them are like 40-45. Some are as young as 35, and they are so unhappy. They each make $50,000-90,000, and have beautiful homes and drive BMW's and stuff; they have families. I don't see why they would be jealous of me when I am fresh out of college and a newbie in the workforce. I am looking at them admiring their progress and success. I now understand why they are angry and that is because I am 26 and they are 40 and that is stupid....I aint got nothin'! I am working very hard to attain some real ish, but they have what I am working for. My thing is I will be 40 one day too. Should I not be proud of myself and appearance then? Should I not look at myself as a beautiful lady then? What about the 18yr. olds today, should I hate them? We get caught up in youthfulness and the sad thing about that is that WE WILL ALL BE OLD ONE DAY! I think a mature lady with some business is the BIZNESS![/quote] I SO AGREE WITH THE JEALOUSY OF COWORKERS...I DEAL WITH THAT ISH EVERY DAMN DAY.[/quote] I don't think that it is jealously about your physical appearance or age. It is that you are at a point in life where you are free to make choices that they no longer have. They have to care for children, pay mortgages, and car payments on that BMW. Not saying that you don't have bills too. You are just at a point in life where the choices you make will influence the rest of your life. They may have regrets about the choices they made at your age. It's not fair or your fault, but they are experiencing "shoulda, woulda, coulda"[/quote] CCCCHHHHHHUUUUUCCCCHHHHH!!!

Jasmine kinda looks like eartha Kitt, a little bit. I love me some ERYKAH but that wig looks HOT & ITcHY as hell!

Jasmine Guy is 45 years old and looks GOOD! You (all of you) put your picture on the internet and let somebody else scrutinize it!!! Compare Ms. Guy to Vivica Fox and Lil' Kim who walk around looking like clowns on the regular. I'm happy she hasn't had anything done; you should be proud of what you look like at any age and at any shape. What are we comparing Jasmine to? Beyonce, or Gabrielle, or some one else in their 20s and 30s. We saying all this, and I bet Jasmine could still pull a dude in his 20s/30s; maybe even YOURS... i'm out..

[quote comment="16962"]Those HIGH YELLOW BEETCHES crack fast. This comment is the epitome of the foolishness that is the light skin/dark skin feud that continues to divide women and men within the African American community. Now I am light skin and the majority of my mother's side of the family is light skin and I must say that the older women have aged very well. Yeah...I agree black don't crack...as fast as white folk do but it damn sure cracks...so to all the hatin asses that thinks that comments is funny instead of a lil disturbin...you many need to check ur inner selves for some deep seated lingering issues against us PROUD LIGHT-SKINNED BLACK WOMEN! I didn't ask to be the color I am but apparently my damn near white great grandaddy like him some dark meat because HIS WIFE my great grandmother was a beautiful dark complexion and she never looked her age.

SHUT UP SWEETHUMBLE PIE U sound like a yelllow lite brite uppity a$$ bi@#! Just shut up and sit down. AND THAT COMMENT WAS FUNNY. GET OVER YASELF

Dammnnnn Chris is hotttttttttt!!! Ummm Shanti..... keep ur head up girl!

Jasmine Guy looks like 'When Cheap Plastic Surgery Goes Bad.' If she's 45 then she needs to quit it cause it is not a good look or a hood look. She looks a hot azz mess and it's a damned shame!!! Cause I always liked her as Whittley.

I mean... you could have found a shot with a better angle though... ;)

Damn Whitley!!!! She look old!!!!!!

OH and MARY??? OMG! LOOOOOVE me some Mary! She has been through it... everyone knows it... and there she is... Standing tall and proud like a golden goddess! UGH! MARY IS THE POO! Anyone who hates on Mary has no soul!

"i know my parents love me!!... Stand behind me... something something... it's a different world from where u come from!" Love that show and Whitley!! :)

Jasmine looks like she hasnt worked in ages....she'd probably look better if she had a job..Ashanti (who cares)Erykah (too fruits and berries for me) MTB 3&4 wrap it up diddy already copped his check from mtv for you guys he is not going to mess with ya'll....again

Thanks for further adding to the low self esteem of black women. yes Jasmine looks older because she is older. She still looks well. We have no idea if she's grappling with chronic illness or other issues, what do you suggest she do - go under the knife, put a bag on her head or gracefully allow her face to become what it is destined to be. What is the message for our young women and daughters. And those in middle age women who may resemble Jasmine or Dr. West, or Aretha or Patti. What is wrong with us, who are we and what are we becoming. Thankfully, Rosa Parks, Coretta King and Dr. Shabazz did not subscribe to the notion that who they were and what they looked like needed to be quantified by European/Hollywood standards. I love ya girl, but the comments about the folks over forty are getting tired.

ugh, Ashanti's privates. Yeah, Jasmine Guy needs to invest in some anit-aging cream for real

Does anyone else think Jasmine Guy looks like a black Teri Hatcher? Both haven't aged too well, but in Jasmine's case I think a less harsh lipstick shade and better makeup would help.

I agree with DD. I'm young, 24, but I still feel for older women and the way they are criticized. Seems like America is obsessed with 18 yr olds, and calls anyone over the age of 30 a hag these days. Everyone can't stay young and beautiful forever. That's life. But, they shouldn't be made fun of.

I think Jasmine is one of the last few standing actress that denied the plastic surgey boom.... We have become so conditioned in this American society that we actually demand someone who's over 40 to look 25. My goodness there are so mnay shallow people in this world. I say go Jasmine and continue to remain what GOD created you to be.

I agree. I think she considering that she is 44 and has not had any plastic surgery, she is looking really good. Let's see how some of y'all look at 44.

Please just get over it already..."it is what it is", and obviously Ms. Guy (Whitley) is happy with herself, which is what counts the most. As for E. Badu, gotta love her...she is original and could care less what others think!!! Go on Ms. Badu, show 'em what ya got and for those who've never seen her in concert, get over the look, buy a ticket and check Ms. E. Badu out...pure fiyah!!!! Can't wait for the album!!! Chris Brown is too cute!!! VA stand up!!! I'm out...

Couchie slip, that's golden.. literally.

[quote comment="16967"]I’m TIRED of Mary J telling the same old stories about her past personal issues. She needs to talk about that no good ugly husband. MJ appears to be a NASTY BEETCH and could get GHETTO real quick, if necessary. Stop giving the DOG you married your money. Wake up GIRL. That man is nothing but a CHEATER. Another DUMBAS Kim Porter, I see.[/quote] Do u know MJB & her husband personally..............

I always thought Jasmine guy had a little tweaking done and that's why she looked like that. Guess we'll never know. Anyhow, she doesn't look too bad to be 45. I really think some lighter shades of eye and lip make-up could make a world of difference. Maybe we just caught her on a bad day. Ashanti ... I really liked the lil negligee looking outfit in the original posting, I thought it was cute. (Not to be worn on the street of course, but if she's performing, what the hey?) That was before I realized she was showing her goodies to the world. I don't know about all that. A little inappropriate. Mary looks fierce!

-remember when Whitley was hot?? Has nothing to do with age because Lisa Bonet and Marisa Tomei (both from DW are still looking good). -Is that sweat or glitter spinkles on Ashanti's thighs?
