The Great Debaters New York Premiere+Nick Cannon & Friends Get Toys For Christmas+Halle B. Hits the Christmas Streets

Dec 21 | by Natasha

The NYC Premiere of The Great Debaters went down last night: And YBF chick Jurnee is still bringing the fabulousness.

She kicked it with producer Harvey Weinstein. Fab. Co-star Nate Parker was there: Along with co-star Denzel Whitaker. Yes, that's his real name. Denzy brought along his wife Pauletta of course. And Lynn Whitfield made an appearance: Still working it out fabulously I see. And of course co-star Forest Whitaker was there. Nick Cannon hosted the "Young Hollywood Club" Christmas Party and Toy Drive at LAX yesterday: His celebrity friends came out to kick it: BFFs Tamala Jones and Daphne Duplaix were there. I don't know what it is but there's something different about that Tamala. Maybe that's what dating Big Gipp does to a chick. Nick still thinks he's swole. Carl Payne was there. So was actor Dan White. And Terry Crews. Cutie Brian White made an appearance. Tony Rock is still silly. And the HB was spotted taking a Christmas basket to her friends in LA yesterday: She wears pregnancy well.

Her sense of style is terrible. That shirt is hideous. The hair is not flattering either. Sometimes I think Denzel plays down his 'fab factor' to make her feel more secure and comfortable. She should really get an image consultant!

What's up with Halle? Wearing

What's up with Halle? Wearing pregnancy well - yeah okay. Is there a rule that says you have look frumpy and not wear lipstick when you're pregnant? Hollywood goes to people's brains, she dresses as if she's self conscious about ther body. As if it's something wrong with not being a size 5 when you're pregnant. INSANITY.

Seriously Natasha we can not ....ok lemme speak for myself, I cannot make out the dark font...I would have thought you would make the font white or silver if the background was darker. Maybe also checking over the post would have spelt out the obvious, otherwise the deep colour is much more interesting and engaging.

If I Hadn't Already, I Would

If I Hadn't Already, I Would Have Suggested Jurnee Change Her Name To "Trés Chíc" There Is Nothing More Beautiful & Elegant About A Young Woman Who Dresses With Age Approprateness..!! I See Lynn Whitfield Dressing From Ungaro's Ready-To-Wear Collection.. But I Think The Silouhette Is WRONG For Her.. Everytime I See Lynn, I Get Flashbacks To Her Stabbing That Cake ((A Thin Line)).. LMAO!! Tamala's Boobs Look Very "COSMETIC" And I'm Being Frank.. Denzel Looks GREAt Per Usual.. And If I Left Anyone Out It's Because I "OBVIOUSLY" DID NOT Notice Them.. NO SHADE..!! LOL !

Great Debaters=Great

Great Debaters=Great Movie Jurnee & Nate were simply performances Great Performances from the "Denzels" as well And i second that Nate looking like Henry Simmons comment, Nate is too cute. i saw the movie twice cuz of him. lol. Brian is cute too..and yea he looks a lil suspect sometimes though..but oh well. Ms. Pauletta needs to get it together,i wondered if she dressed Denzel that night. That is NOT the way you show up to a movie premiere. come on now. as for Tamala. those boobs are new. if you couldnt tell. she was as flat as a piece of cardboard. but hey. i can't talk. just saying. Halle is still beautiful even though it looks as if she's been taking fashion tips from Mary Kate Olsen....lol and finally... Ms. Lynn's dress was very unflattering...but that dosen't make her UNFABULOUS! or does it? everyone is entitled to a fashion mishap right?lol.

Can't he afford to get her a stylist, or couldn't she have asked someone else's opinion before leaving the house...looked in the mirror or something?

Why does Nick Cannon have his shirt off? Does he think he's 50 Cent or somebody? Much respect to Mrs. Pauletta Washington, but what does she have on exactly? And lastly, I LOVE YBF! I hope the corrections are forth coming because I'm a YBFAddcit! Thanks! Happy Holidays Natasha and to all...

Am I the only one who does

Am I the only one who does not think that Jurnee is all that pretty? I'm not trying to hate, she is attractive, but I think she takes away from that with those over the top "hollywood" poses and expressions. The slight sqwint of the eyes, the puckered lips or the slightly open mouth is all getting a little old for me. I think she looks prettier when she just smiles naturally, not with these rehearsed expressions.

DANG!!! There are some haters

DANG!!! There are some haters in here this morning!!! Jurnee has no implants...if those are implants then all I got to say is "I didn't know they made them that small"...She looks natural and beautiful, I hope she never gets implants. Denzel..he is fine and all but that top button is looking a San Quentin Prisonish all that's missing is a hair net! Que Pasa Homes! Brian is too damn pretty...SUSPECT! Tamala..it's about damn time her azz bought her some titties, and I think with the tatas the weight gain is proportionate, and she looks good, I like the weave it looks natural. Cause ya'll do remember what her azz looked like in "Booty Call" OK?! Nick Cannon is a cutie I'd do him for about a week or two. Pauletta, clearly she and Denzel do not have stylist. Cole is looking handsome, he needs to get some work, cause er'body loves them some Cole! As for Lynn...I think Natasha said Fab simply out of respect, cause that Shyt right there? Ain't cute, maybe she was sleepy or something. LOL

I am like YBF is slippin if they was gonna let Denzel wifey off the hook for that whole style. What's up with her? I mean can she ever get it together. Especially with fine azz Denzel on your arm. Oh and Lynn Whitfield looks crazy as hell with that dress, shoes and stockings. I swear Tasha sometimes you are trippin when you call people fab. Why does Nick look like he is hurtin cause of that breakup he needs to go somewhere and heal. Sh*t we all been there poor thing. Fix the damn text on this site before I need bifocals :)

did anyone else notice how

did anyone else notice how Denzel has and affinity to the two young male actors in he Great Debaters? On Oprah he rarly if ever made comments about Jurnee and then he only appeared on 106 and Park with the young men and never made a reference to her. Also Natasha and YBFers you guys NEED to read Denzels interview with Elle magazine. I mean I love Denzel, but damn.

Lynn Whitfield looks like she

Lynn Whitfield looks like she is wearing freaking silver trash bag and for the record it is not fabulous. Nate Parker is fine but to damn young to drool over. Nick Cannon needs to disappear with his boring ass. Denzel’s wife entire look is whack. She usually looks great but she missed it on this one. The braids don’t look right on her and that outfit is F’ed up all the way. But I give her a pass on this one because Paulette usually is on point. I don’t know what Denzel is going through but he needs to unbutton that damn top button on his shirt and tuck the sucker in. I love Denzel but he should consider trying to preserve his sexy (per Diddy) by dressing fabulous like he knows how to do. Denzel boo snap out of your ‘I don’t give a damn’ look. PLEASE. Page owner: If you are going to do the dark purple background you should use white writing because the black is impossible to read. I was half through the post before I realize there were words with the pictures.
