Concert Fab: Kanye, John Legend, Lupe & Janelle Monae+The Street Kings Premiere

Apr 04 | by Natasha

Tyra Banks and other YBF folks hit up Janelle Monae's first performance as an official Bad Boy artist last night at Blender Theater in NY. Looked like fun times for everybody...

Diddy and his new artist were spotted backstage getting ready: Very fab chick. I really hope Diddy doesn't do his usual and work his way onto a remix of hers. Anthony Anderson and Terrance J were spotted in the crowd. So was Andre Harrell. And Sway. Amanda Diva and Q-Tip were there. And Diddy kicked it with the Retro Kids. Kanye performed at the Murakami Exhibition Opening at The Brooklyn Museum last night: He was spotted kickin' it with Kristin Davis. And Murakami himself. Selita Ebanks was there too in a refreshingly springish look:

Hot. I'm torn on the white undereye liner but I'm leaning toward a yes. Can somebody please tell me when John Legend started performing shirtless?:

Really Johnny? He performed at the 50th Grammy Celebration Concert Tour in Chicago last night. Estelle and Lupe Fiasco both performed at a BBC2 Music Show in London yesterday:

There's something so cute about that dude. Over in Hollywood, the Whitakers hit the red carpet for the Street Kings movie premiere: Umm... No worries peoples. I Fed-Ex'd some greens and cornbread yesterday. I still liked her outfit though. YBF chick Naomie Harris (the other uncrazy fab Brit of the same name) was there with her man actor Chris Evans. Loves this chick. And Lisa Raye hit the carpet too: Classy chic.

And Terry Crews brought the fam (including his wife of 17 years Rebecca).

Funny Ms. Whitaker isn't a vegetarian but she looks very famished; Forrest is the grass eater but he looks likes he sneaks more burgers than she does. You are too skinny when you start to look bobbleheaded - STILL FAB though.

awww Diddy's artist... poor girl. You're not gonna make any money with him. Maybe a 50K advance check, minus the taxes and his cut sooo.... 10 dollars total. Why do these up and coming artist fall into the "Trance of Diddy". He's like a talent vampire.

Keyshia does look really thin.... I Love her shoes and the dress though. I Love Janelle Monae's style, and I hope she does well over at Bad Boy. I think Selita has on TOO much white eyeliner. It does open the eye, however hers is too much. Come on, Tyra showed us how to do this on the show folks...

Terry's wife isn't white. She is a Black chick. She was in SISTER SISTER magazine with him with her natural hair color and she is. When you're light skined and go that blonde it does make you lighter. Maybe that is the affect she wants.

[quote comment="62399"]Forest, get you wife some help boo! Obviously there is a problem. Black women don't look like that unless it's crack or that othr thangy, Anorexia. But then again, maybe she's just tall for her weight. Please speed up the greens and cornbread.[/quote] Well we do have some sisters who are very thin naturally. Look at sisters from Africa, many of them are very thin. The only reason we are so big is because of the food that we eat and our portion sizes. Keisha has always been thin but she looks to have lost some weight. I can't get over how she seems to be flaunting her bones in that little dress thought.[quote comment="62445"]Janelle looks like the female Farnsworth Bentley.[/quote] True but she has major talent. She puts me in mind of singers fromt the 50's. When you had to do more than look preety(beyonce excluded). Naomi also dated Orlando bloom for a while. Rumour has it they broke up because a lot his fans did not like him with a blk girl.

WOW, two people, count

WOW, two people, count them...2 who spoke about Estelle! I am shocked that no one talks about her hair, her short hair cut and how its changing the game like Rihanna's short do! OH WAIT...its because Rihanna looks like Barbados Barbie and Estelle looks more like Siely in the Color Purple! What jokes some of you are!!!

Doesn't Naomi Harris kind of

Doesn't Naomi Harris kind of remind you of Oprah. Although she's extremely gorgeous she just has that look. Love Chris Evans, he's a cutie.. Naomi doin it big. Kanye West looks great. love him great definition of a performer. Lisa Raye looks beautiful, although the close up on her hair was wow. curls looked kinda dry like they need some spritz or water. styll fab WTH cant Selita just get it perfect 1 time just 1 time. if she had lost the stupid white eyeliner she would have looked so Gorg (get it right) who the hell wears white eye liner. Tyra's face looked pretty and her dress. The wig/lacefront was not doing it. a bit to weavelicious for me, than again i am a hater because for some reason she just irks me and seems so phony.. maybe its when Ashton punked her and caught her true diva ways anyhow to much writting spent on her.... Retro kids no comment Diddy looked fab but please the girl looks like a nice young lady don't rape her money just pay her.. she's just 1 person i can see why you dont wanna pay danity canencuz theres 5 lol everyone looks basically Fab. Great post Natasha

Lisa Raye looks

Lisa Raye looks gawjuss. Selita (even though i despised her in the beginning)...looks great! Naomie Harris FAB! Kanye looks yum yum yum (etc.) Tyra's glue on baby hair looks like spider legs. Janelle needs to cut that look the hell out because it is NOT cute. And lastly, Dear Keisha Whitaker: If you do NOT eat those FedEX'd greens and cornbread, I will personally fly out to whatever city you are in (with fatback in tow) and shove it down your throat. You look like you would fall over if someone sneezed. Anorexia is NOT cute!

There are photos of Keisha Whitaker from 10 years ago and she's not that "naturally skinny." Her weight loss is disturbing to witness. She's the first celebrity to wear one of those Leger dresses that doesn't cling anywhere.
