Young, Black, and Fabulous :: I Don’t Have To Make This Ish Up.: Updates: Lark Voorhies, Michelle Williams, & Usher

  • Posted on Apr 7, 2008 by Natasha

    Updates: Lark Voorhies, Michelle Williams, & Usher

    Guess who’s making a comeback?:

    Lark Voorhies. The YBF chick is set to star as “Kim” in the upcoming movie The Black Man’s Guide To Understanding Black Women that has just gone into production. What the film’s about: From a young black man’s point of view, the film chronicles the problems that exist in relationships by following the interwoven stories of three family-related couples. Nice. Loves her.

    Michelle Williams is looking for male dancers. Not the skripper kind…actually you never know. She’s hitting Hollywood on April 13th to book dancers who audition for her in various places around the city. And she’s taking them on her publicity tour for her upcoming Unexpected album. Details over at The Forums.

    Ursher hit up TRL today to do some promo for his new vid “Love In This Club” and album:

    And his biggest fan in the TRL audience damn near lost her mind:

    Aww. She reminds me of The Crying Girl from American Idol.

    Somebody please come help this child before she gets got by you know who…

      Michelle has some nerve to be auditioning dancers. She cant dance to save her life. Well, then I guess in retrospect, she has every reason to audition good dancers to take away from the fact that she cant dance. I see Mathew is using the Beyonce blueprint to use the auditions as a way to market Michelle. WHatever.

      Lark should have avoided foundations with SPF and/or titanium dioxide in them: the minerals/SPF reacts to the flash of a camera turning her face white - this is why she looks like a ghost in the face.

      I feel sorry for Usher, he doesn’t appear to be happy..but this what he wanted..I see he’s hiding that ring finger..

      Michelle Williams can really sing..I think she should have stuck to gospel..but go move in the Knowles Camp..this gives the other girls time to make 5 cents while B is on her honeymoon..

      Michelle’s bony ass is irrelevant. Her needing Male dancer’s is actually NEWS? damn I thought this was YBF?… C’mon don’t get mad, just be honest.
      On a LIGHTER note, Lark is so beautiful, I’m overwhelmed with joy to see her back. oh! I would not be crying over no Usher… to me marriage makes artists lose sex appeal. and If that was my child I would beat her.

      Natasha - thanks for this information at Lark. My mom wrote the book The Blackman’s Guide to Understanding the Blackwoman - Shahrazad Ali (probably everyone is too young to remember - google or you tube her)

      She has been in talks with him about just ganking her copyrighted book title which was out wayyy before this came about.

      Good looking out - I see she’s going to have to make some calls because obviously production is back up and running.

      Lark needs the airbrushed makeup on…Fortunately, you can still tell that she is cute.

      Michelle is too skinny but I like her as well.

      Usher fan: you kow that you have put a RANDOM guy on a pedastool when you begin an uncontrollable flow of tears at the sight of him. People, celebrities are just regular people with talent…well some celebrities are. Fortunately, Usher is a REAL celebrity. He looks nice too.

      2. I’ve never understood why people doo all that crying when they meet celebrities.
      3. I’m going to invite Michelle to my house for early Thanksgiving dinner…she needs LOTS of pie, turkey, chitlins, and dressing.

      What is up with Usher’s look…I know he got a nanny and is not up feeding that baby in the middle of the night! That’s what a new mom looks like going to the grocery store…all wrinkled and as Oprah says shumpladinka (can’t spell)lookin’!!! Anyway I saw him on 106 and Park and he seems so reserved and drained..don’t like the video either I want to hear some of his upbeat, dance stuff….Chris Brown, Mario and yes Omarion are giving him a run for his money with the ultimate entertainer thing. Even Justin Timberlake got him by doing songs with Beyonce and now Madonna. I’m still checking for the Usher that did “Yeah” on the MTV or BET awards…that was hot!!
