Alicia Keys’ “Teenage Love Affair” Video+ A Mary & Jada Spotting
Check out Alicia Keys‘ brand new video for “Teenage Love Affair”. Jackie Long, Derek Luke, and other folks all make appearances. Very cute. By the way, now there’s video of 50 blasting Alicia about her “gangsta rap” comments.
And Mary J Blige and Jada Pinkett Smith visited the Carol’s Daughter store in the Westfield Fox Hills Mall in Culver City, California yesterday. They were there for a meet and greet:
Unfortunately, I see Jada’s serious about this new hairstyle.

JADA’S HAIRSTYLE MAY NOT BE THE HOTTEST. TRUE INDEED, BUT SHE’S STILL MUCH MORE NATURALY BEAUTIFUL THEN MOST WOMEN IN THE INDUSTRY ARE NOW A DAYS. SO WE CAN LET HER SLIDE ON THE ONE.

Oh my…Jada is an example of When bad hairdoos…happen to good people..
that wig is horrible…..horrible. it looks like the same one Remy Ma had on…..
On Apr 23, 2008 | Reply | Quote
Hate her hairstyle also!!! It’s too overwhelming for her small frame. What surprise me is that Jada use to rock short hair cits backi in the day which was always on point. She’s grown and sexy for this stupid sh*t right here.

Yea right…people saying she should cut the side burn, cut the bang, she should cut the boufant in the top/front…..all the cuttin would make for another DAMN wig….and thats just what she needs to do…cut the ugly wig into a cute one……And for that one person that thinks she cut her real hair…..uuuum, thats a WIG…sweetie

50 needs to fall back, and speak when spoken to… actually dont speak at all. he’s such an ignorant stupid ass fool. didnt understand what alicia was sayin just like with Oama he just wants to say his peice since he cant rap no more(THANK YOU KANYE for blowing him out the water with cd sales and makin him stick to his promise). maybe he should make a track, create juice instead of water anything but shut the f up when it comes to real life issues and focus on his baby momma who aint finish takin cake off his plate. i hope she do.. the man has all this money and still a fool.

Carol’s Daughter often offers free shipping, check out their website. Also, you can find Carol’s Daughter at some Sephora locations, and natural hair salons. I love Jada (my hometown girl). Her style has been flawless since A Different World.

Not feelin Mary or Jada’s hair at all! The bangs on Mary’s wig are too big and that style doesn’t fit Jada’s small face
I love the Alicia Keys video…School Daze was one of my favorite movies back in the day! Derel Luke is sexy as hell…too bad he’s married
Oh and please stop giving 50 shine w/ his stupid ass A. Keys comments? Thank you!

Alicia is still the baddest, while repping women of Christ in the best way. The School Daze theme was to cute. I’m smiling at the fact that some people still make good, wholesome music. KEEP IT UP MS. KEYZ!!!

Yeah S.D they definitely switch up the concept! Cause we all know dap didn’t want no cream in his coffee…it’s funny cause I didn’t catch the video from the beginning and thought everybody at the rally was looking at her cause she was light skinned, LOL! But I still luv it (how they changed it up)!

I’m a big fan of Carol’s daughter. In the first posting of Jade’s picture the other day, It was kind of dark in the back ground and hard to see. But now its clear and in the open and I really dont like it, I think her stylist do some more cutting.

They BOTH look crazy. Like Janet and Chrissy from Three’s Company.

The hair - while not suited for everyone is abs FLY!! Garuntee b’s will be rocking versions of it. WATCH!!
Those Balto B’s have ALWAYS had the MOST forward style - they just have ALWAYS SEEMED to be on top of and in the lead of it styles; clothes, trends ALWAYS. maybe it’s b/c the city is both Norh and SOUTH.

Did anyone catch the show that told the story behind Carol’s Daughter? I think it came on TV1. It was really inspirational.

This song is my favorite from A Keys’ CD! I am far from a teenager, but I sing the lyrics like I’m still in middle school.

Can’t believe how yall are tripping over Jada’s hair style. It could be a wig or tracks, the only thing we know for sure is it won’t last…just like most styles in Hollyweird. She is still a cutie. Plus that wig piece that Mary is wearing in NOT the bizness for so many reasons, yet Natasha won’t dare say a thing about it. Natasha, could Derek Luke at least get a mention, seeing as how he’s the co-star of the video? Sheesh!
On Apr 23, 2008 | Reply | Quote
ok…. I don’t know what that is on Jada’s head but whatever it is needs to come off asap!
And I have to say Mary is the only woman I know that can rock a blonde wig.

Go A. Keys. Loving the video, loved me some School Daze. Mary does her so well. I think Jada is channelling for a movie, lol. Who I don’t know, but she’s def from 1989. Carol’s Daughter is really not the move to me, maybe they reformulated their stuff since starting out in Bk. 50 is a physical mass and nothing else. He should just take off his shirt and shut his effin mouth. He and and his yes men need to go some where, poor Lloyd Banks looks like damn now I can’t like A. Keys cause he don’t like her or I’m gonna get kicked off G-Unit. But funny enough I don’t think gansta rap when I hear 50…but yet no other gansta rapper seems to give a fat one about what A. Keys said or didn’t say. Hmmmm…wanna be starting something…

I like Jada’s hair it’s fun and sassy and looks good on her face. The plain long straight look aged her a bit. I appreciate something different, I am so tired of the same boring look, the same weave the same lace-front. Remember when everyone wanted to look different.

Carol’s Daughter’s stuff is Pricey, but worth it.
Ladies in the NYC/NJ area, please do hit up the Carol’s daughter in Jersey City, NJ at Newport Mall…. Its the Ish (and NO! I’m not an employee…)Jada looks nice. Alot of ya’ll aint Diggin the hair but I like the fact that its different. Its a breath of fresh air.

Ok. Um. I love this song but am so disappointed by the video! I know Ms Keys is tryna get her acting thing on but um their OLD ASSES are NOT believable as teenagers! WTF? I was hoping she’d be more like narrating the story of some younger, fresh-faced actors. Still love the song and still TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH DEREK LUKE!
On Apr 23, 2008 | Reply | Quote
Alicia Keys’ video…yawn. I’m saying, School Daze is so old and she is far from believable in this video–teenage love affair? Well aren’t college students considered adolescents? I don’t get it either way. And how is it we’re talking about a good cause in Africa and then pledges are walking out in the middle of the thing? I don’t know about you but where I’m from, stuff like that wouldn’t happen (they would at least wait for the end of the even to do a probate). Just not a believable video on all fronts. Foolywang material indeed. The R&B game is so blah right now. They should just shut it all down and start over.

I like Jada’s natural hair a whole lot more than that blonde monstrosity that MJ insists on wearing. How are you going to promote a hair product when you always cover your hair??? I say leave Jada alone and let her rock whatever hairdo she likes. At least she’s busy just being herself–a real respectable black woman, mother and wife.

I have spent so much money on Carols Daughter hair products, they are fabulous. I can’t decide between Carols Daughter, Miss Jessies, and Oyin Handmade hair products so I use them all!!! I am just grateful that there are products on the market that let black women show how beautiful their natural hair is! These products have turned my nappy hair into beautiful curly hair!!!

On Apr 23, 2008 | Reply | Quote
I know Jada fancies herself a rock chick but I just cannot stand that hairdo on her. It’s just too much hair and I just don’t agree that it’s her natural hair. And I USED to love Carol’s Daughter back in the day but now they’re so corporate, have cut a lot of products and scents that I loved, have scaled back the sizes and packaging. I just don’t care for it too much anymore. I buy only the hair products because I can’t find anything like them elsewhere and I just deal with the smaller sizes(lower value).

I think she’s testing the water a bit more.
