Because All Black Folks Look Alike?+Celebs Make Appearances

Feb 16 | by Natasha

The March '08 issue of InStyle magazine passed over several editorial desks, and this mistake was still made:

Larger Pic Damn. Sad yet so understandable.

{Thanks Tichanda}

Chrisette Michele serenaded couples for Valentine's Day while Celebrity Cupid Lisa Rinna granted their wishes at the NIVEA Garden of Love yesterday.

Nice. And celeb hit up the MAGIC convention in Vegas this week:

DJ Sivuplay was there with Lil Fizz. Where you been Fizz?

LL was spotted at his booth.

And the Simmons girls looks fabulous as usual.

Mr. Jackson is covering the Village Voicepaper. For all you Fabolous fans... Have a fabulous weekend!

I second that Chrisette

I second that Chrisette statement, just something about her... I'm glad i'm not the only one... Her music is just ok and her vocals are just ok too, we have our Jil Scott and Alecia Keys, where in the world does Chrisette fit in... I did like her one song about her father and all but her album was a flipity flop rocket... I am excited bout the new dew, but she if she is going to be serious about being in the game, she needs to stop being stingy with that advance money and book some studio time with some reall producers, songwriters, and hit makers. Al this really come out of love, right now, it seems like she's trying too hard not to care and as a struggling artist who has a chance to make it, we need you to get happy about life! Get into it! WORK!

In defense of magazines,

In defense of magazines, mistakes like these do happen. But in defense of Black people, magazine editors who are usually white are notorious for "confusing" Black people. Even when you the Black person, tell them that...that's not Meagan Good, that's Christina Milian...they will argue you down (true story) and then when they look the fool, the first thing out of their mouth is...ohh, they look soooooooooo similar. B.S.

Chrisette Michelle is so

Chrisette Michelle is so pretty! Good luck, ma. The Simmons girls are FAR overrated, (and not stunningly gorgeous, although pretty)- they really don't have any personality IMO. But they do keep it classy. Do what it do.

Poor Kelly. I never knew

Poor Kelly. I never knew Chrisette played the piano...aren't we just talented all the way around. Those simmons girls are fly & fabulous. Way to be anti-brit/paris/lindsay. I'm surprised Ang didn't spend V-day with her boy Bow. That trench she has on is HOT though. LL and those beautiful dimples. He's what 20yrs. deep in the game? && could still get it. That's how you preserve your sexy.

Good Lord!!! The whole

Good Lord!!! The whole Michelle Williams/Kelly Rowland thing was probably an honest mistake! John Mayer is on the cover of a magazine and the name under his face is "Josh" Mayer. Stop trying to make EVERYTHING RACIAL!!!! Chrisette Michelle is cute! I love her eyes and her sound is starting to grow on me. The Simmons girls can do no wrong in my opinion. They are some of the future business leaders of America!!!

I don't think the mistake was

I don't think the mistake was made because all black people look alike. They simply confused two group members from Destiny's Child. It's an honest mistake that wasn't fact checked. It happens. I'm sure they'll correct it in their next issue. No biggie.

I actually like Chrisette's hair like that.If anybody knew she was rocking a shorter hairstyle before anybody knew who she was.
