Weekend Fab

Russell Simmons and his girlfriend Porschla Coleman hosted festivities this weekend in Miami. And celebs hit up their Art For Life event at The Bath Club: Ming Lee and Aoki were there with their daddy. Ha. John Legend and his girlfriend Christine Tiegen were there. Along with many of other folks. Lots more pics when you read the rest... Porschla looked fabulous in a bright purple strapless dress. Her skin is amazing. Dwyane Wade was there solo. Tracey Mourning, her hubby Alonzo, and their son Tre hit the red carpet.

Um, is that a shiny pewter suit Wyclef? It's not OK...whatever it is. Also this weekend in Miami, celebs hit up the Sony Ericcson Lounge at Gansevoort South: Uncle Danny! Julissa, her man Larry Johnson, and his mom were there. Everybody was rocking the laid back look.

Fun times. Kelly Rowland was spotted visiting children in the UK while she was performing there last week: During her current United Kingdom tour, Ms. Kelly took time to visit very special patients at the Great Ormond Street Hospital. Sweet. Kidada Jones hosted the showing of her "Art of Pooh" line with Disney at The Evidence Gallery in LA:

I'm with Fatman! Jully Black is one of the most underrated canadian R&B artists, check it out peoples! Also, I was looking at these pics and i'm just wondering where the mocha and chocolate mamis are at. I guess being "of the darker kind" is not sexy in hollyhood huh?

I was also wondering why they have all never been pictured together but Kimora, her man, and the kids r in photo ops all over the place...[/quote] You know guys take longer to get serious Russell probably don't want her thinking he ready to be a family with her yet!!!!

[quote comment="63870"]Everyone wonders why Porshla is never seen with the kids. I think it's because she's a young, 20-something chick who ain't trying to play momma to Kimora's bad-ass kids. And you know they're bad. You can see them trying to act like grown people on the show, talkin' to adults like they are adults...[/quote] I can really see that too!!! LOL

[quote comment="63945"]I am a strong advocate for love, but these black hollywood/athletic/musician dudes and these light bright chicks get me. I am not hating on their relationships, but I always ask myself the question , did they ever give a sista a chance? Vanessa Williams is a great inspiration for those who fall from grace and bounce back better than ever! And even though Kimora is happy in love, she ain't feeling ol girl, I can almost bet.[/quote] I feel what you are saying but don't let it bother you too much because it is going to continue to happen. Also, just remember there are ALOT of Black men who date and marry sistas.

[quote comment="63891"]Porschla Coleman do have a radiant skin, very Rihanna like. She's cute and strange at the same time. Maybe it's the face with small european features on the very athletic body with large shoulders.[/quote] "the face with the small european features"... (sigh)... don't know what to say. SMH!

I don't watch the show but there is no doubt in my mind that these little girls are running more than their mouths. And from what you are saying, they run those mouths very often! Somebody needs to tell those girls to stay outta grown folks business before it's too late!

All I see is HAIR...when will people realize the more hair, the more FAB you are NOT...BUT the more COUNTRY you look...[/quote] So I guess Beyonce, Ciara, and tons of other black celebrities look country based on your analogy. I can show you pictures where these two are wearing waaaaay more hair than Cherish.

Russel's new girlfriend is

Russel's new girlfriend is stunning! I think she may be a little better looking than Kimora!! Those girls are a little rude I don't know if I would wanna play momma to them either. They seem like they would be putting marbles in the woman's shoes and then run to Russel cause she's "yelling at them for no reason" Chile please!

I am not hating on their relationships, but I always ask myself the question , did they ever give a sista a chance? [/quote] Well I agree with you up to a certain point. The amount of melanin you have does not determine if you are a sista. However, it seems like the same type of women keep cropping up...as though it is pre-destined: if you make it big, you are awarded a particular type of black women. Unfortunately, these type of pairings (those that go beyond a personal preference/attraction) will continue to occur, until we can move past our color, body and hair issues.

ok maybe all that hair looks

ok maybe all that hair looks "overwhelming" on Cherish because its four of them instead of one. But why am I thinking "we" wouldn't see a problem if they were four light skinned women with lots of hair. I mean really while we're calling Vanessa and her family gorgeous (I agree they are a nice looking family) on the same post how do know none of them are wearing extensions, weaves etc...?

Ah COLORISM much? Did all

Ah COLORISM much? Did all these lighter sistahs have to pass some sort of paper bag test to get these men? I swear 99.99% of black men in hollywood are too simple, shallow, and singular in who they "randomly" fall in love with.

why does LJ have on that hot

why does LJ have on that hot ass jacket in Miami? maybe it was cool at night, but it just seems funny when everyone has the laid back and easy breezy vibe going on. Porschla (what is the origin of that name anyways) is interesting looking. Great look for Russ tho. I want her to loose the tight bun and do her hair for once. Maybe that's her signature...but i'd like to see a 'do.

I may have been hallucinating

I may have been hallucinating due to the fact that I need to go to bed, but is PORSCHLA WEARING THE SAME PURPLE DRESS AS KIMORA??? A couple of weeks ago (or maybe a month ago) I read on this site that Kimora was at some kind of event being held in St. Louis or something and I was sure that she wore the same purple dress as Porschla. If this is true, will we be seeing a WHO RAN THIS with RUSSELL'S EX and CURRENT LADY? If so NATASHA, I would love a shout out for being observant...lol.
