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.
Celebs Hit The Black Enterprise Oscar Week Event…And Is Malinda Williams Preggers?
Black Enterprise celebrated Oscar Week last night with an All-Star gathering to honor the fabulous Ruby Dee. And YBF snitches at the event noticed that Malinda Williams and her fiance D-Nice strategically hit the red carpet when many folks weren’t watching. And then suspiciously kicked this prom style pose which looks very much like they’re covering up a possible baby bump. Time will tell…
Ruby Dee was recognized as an icon who has paved the way for women of color in the performing arts. Nice.
And damn if that Star Jones isn’t looking less bobbleheadish every day.
President and CEO of PrimeTime Omnimedia Marilyn Crawford ricked an interesting choice of dress.
Joe Torry made an appearance.
Actress/Model Nahtasha Budhi clearly didn’t know this was an upscale after 5 event.
Lisa Raye was there in her signature white dress:
I know this chick’s closet would blind me.
Taraji was there in a bright blue coat.
YBF chicks Jennifer Freeman and Kyla Pratt kicked it at the event:
Fab looks for both ladies.
Shaun Robinson made an appearance.
Married couple D’ondre Whitfield and Salli Richardson were there.
Willie Mac was there.
Della Reese, Ja’net DuBois, and Beverly Todd came out to support.
What is your secret Kiki Shepard? No…really. She actually lookes younger than she did when I was 5 watching Apollo.
Photog: Turner
And Dawn Lewis made an interesting appearance.

4. I still don’t know how Diamond off The Players Club became the 1st lady of anything….not hatin’ just confused.
5.Why didn’t one person out of that whole crowd fix Ruby Dees shades?
Everyone else looks wonderful.

On Feb 21, 2008 at 4:54 pm | Reply | QuoteMs. Crawford’s skin tone does not work with the dress, first off. If you are that color, you need to stick with colors in the magenta, jade, blue, purple, coral family. And her mammaries are just too large — they are straining.
Now as for Starlet Marie, she’s getting there but the dress needs to be a size bigger. I can see the strain in the hips.

This Marilyn chick looks like she’s a contestant in the Little Miss Sunshine pageant. Seriously. That is the sort of get-up those scary little 8 year old girls with all the make-up and the big hair wear in those scary little pageants. Yikes

Salli Richardson is a Goddess. Love. Her. I can’t wait for the next season of Eureka! on the Sci-Fi channel. She rocks my world on that show.

Savannah had on a cream very maternity-ish dress on with a very suspect bump and you didn’t make a peep out of it. According to MediaTakeout it is ‘rumored’ that she is expecting ‘again’. Dang she jus has that last baby…
