Beyonce Meets Her Match+The Raisin In The Sun Cast Kicks Off The Publicity Trail+Key Key Hits TRL

It’s official. Beyonce’s performing at the Grammy’s with her idol Ms. Turner in a few weeks. And now that the Writer’s Guild isn’t picketing the Grammys, B won’t be in for the major backlash she was bound to get if they did picket-since her people said she was performing anyway. I hope she doesn’t make the mistake of trying to upstage Anna Mae like she “accidentally” upstaged Prince. It won’t be pretty.

Remember Aneesa Ferreira from MTV’s “Real World: Chicago” and all the “Real World/Road Rules” Challenges? Yep, she made a random appearance at D-Wade’s b-day party at Karu and Y a few nights ago in Miami. And I can pretty much guarantee that’s her girlfriend in the pic.

The cast and crew of the new Raisin in the Suntv movie sat for their portraits at the Sundance Film Fest: Producer Neil Meron, Actor John Stamos, Actor Sean Combs, Actress Audra McDonald, Actress Phylicia Rashad, Director Kenny Leon and Actress Sanaa Lathan. It’s most of the same cast and crew from the 2004 play revival and the tv movie’s getting screened at Sundance this week.

The movie from back in the 60’s is one of my faves so I’m excited to see this one. Great cast.



Sanaa is looking fabulous.

And so is Ms. Audra.

And of course, so is Phylicia.
Keyshia Cole hit up TRL yesterday:



She does have a pretty eclectic look. And for that, I do like her style.


The makeup’s cute as usual.
Stay tuned…

Finally! We've got a few pics showing glimpses of Halle Berry's and Gabriel Aubrey's Baby Nahla. No tabloid money for these folks...they're showing off their baby old school style.

anyway, i’m glad that beyonce will be able to perform w/o the added drama of being called a “scab” for crossing a picket line. …can’t wait to see what/how she performs w/ ms. tina. it should be another memorable performance akin to the one w/ prince a few years back. love key-lo-lo’s clothing,but not really feeling the “donald-trump-esqe” sweep over. and ms. sanaa, is that a baby bump i see??
natasha…keep up the good work. i have made ybf my home page!

On Jan 23, 2008 at 12:00 pm | Reply | QuoteI don’t think Beyonce is out to upstage Miss Tina but probably feels its an honor to be able to even be on the stage with her. I think it’s great to see one generation hand the baton to the next one. It’s nice to know that we still have entertainers who can follow in the previous generation’s foot steps who are genuinely talented and Beyonce is that. No one can take that from her. I’m 48 years old and really, can barely tolerate some of today’s talent. Beyonce and Keyshia Cole, I take my hat off to. I love them and blast them in my car everywhere I go. Yes me, mother of a 30 year old and 25 year old with six grandchildren loves me some Beyonce and Keyshia. I can’t wait to see it. For me, it will be the must see of Grammy night. I will be tuned in.

We are young only once and for not our ancestors we would not be here. Tina is ICONIC, she lead the way and broke down some doors for Bey to shine today. Bey, is still working on the legend part, only time will tell there. I look forward to a QUEENLY proformance from both and pray Tina Turner gets the applause well deserved…..

I AM GUESSING YOU MISSED HER TRIBUTE TO TINA TURNER AT THE KENNEDY HONORS A COUPLE OF YEARS BACK! I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS PERFORMANCE. I REALLY DON’T SEE WHY SO MANY PEOPLE BUY INTO THE HYPE THE BLOG OWNERS START. WAS THE “UPSTAGING” REALLY NEEDED IN THIS POST? ONLY TO START DRAMA! BEYONCE DOES WHAT SHE DOES ON STAGE, THAT’S ENTERTAIN! SHE HAS MANY TIMES SAID TINA TURNER WAS HER IDOL. SO WHY ARE PEOPLE HERE PITTING THEM AGAINST EACH OTHER. DO YOU THINK THE STAGE WON’T BE BIG ENOUGH FOR THE BOTH OF THEM?

That was all I was saying not totally B free but let us look for it for a minute. She - B is talented that is undeniable BUT like you said
“Beyonce is not the only female performer on the planet, and she’s certainly not the best.”
and as for the comments that she does not have to copy other people - look at her track record every female or song that gets attention she moves in takes their style (new black do/ rih rih) beat (no money in the bank/get me bodied) even her own girl - Kelly on the last awards show could not even keep the spot light in HER performance and NOW she is recording a country record. Please I am not a hater just pointing out the way I see it.
I never heard any DIVA talk about her behavior though- must be alot of confidentiality contracts in place.
