Who’s Your New Man Star?+Other Candids
Star Jones was spotted having an intimate dinner last night at a NY restaurant with a mystery man:




And while it does appear that dude (who is not bad in the looks department) brought some type of bag with him, I’m just not catching the vibe that this was purely a business dinner…if one at all. But I have to say that I have been told that the “mystery man” is a professional colleague. Regardless, I ain’t even mad at you Star. Work it out then….
UPDATE: The “mystery man” is Dr. Marc Lamont Hill–well known for being the “hip hop intellect” for several news media outlets. He’s also a professor at Temple University.
More celeb candids when you read the rest…
Speaking of couples having a night out to dinner, fab chick Mel B. and her hubby Stephen were spotted leaving STK in Beverly Hills:



And they got some tongue action poppin’ as soon as they got in the car. Nice.
Rihanna was spotted shopping and eating at the mall in L.A. yesterday:


I hear she got pissy with fans who noticed her and kept trying to chat her up. Even though she’s in a mall. I also hear no one even recognized her until her puppy Oscar started barking up a storm. Let me find out chick is getting too big for her britches that barely fit anyway. Rih Rih, you’re only getting shine time because of those “annoying fans” who worship you for some reason. Don’t get it twisted.
And Kobe Bryant was spotted leaving the game last night with his wife and kids:


He was also just named MVP of the NBA.

Hey now, they really need to leave Star alone. But whomever she chooses to date is gonna catch hell. Considering what we ALL know about Al.

if thats star’s man she definately did an upgrade. although i highly doubt it is. i wish she’d put back on some of that weight, she looks like a space mutant, and it aint cute. its weird and i dont know why but everytime i see her it reminds me of the movie coor pruple. go figure.
Rhianna look cute, i know your probably tired of all the attention and have lots on the mind considering i heard you lost a family member and that interview in elle mag.
Kobe family is real cute. better get that strap for when they get older cuz he goin have a real hard time tryin to fend off the fish

I am confused by Star YET AGAIN! that wig, those boots, that skirt… she needs to put somebody money into action then maybe she will snag a non fag or someone else over 4 feet tall
On May 6, 2008 | Reply | Quote
I really don’t like when stars especially musicians, disrespect fans. We MAKE you! Remember that!
Star needs to work out to tone up, but I love the boots. Outfit isn’t working for her though.
On May 6, 2008 | Reply | Quote
I just don’t get it these star have oodles of money access to all kinds of clothes and etc. They no the paps lurk under every bush, car,house, telephone poles waiting to get a shot of them doing something and the best they can come up with is a damn pleated skirt some patent leather boots and a freaking bedspread of a jacket I just don’t get it!

IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH KOBE YOUNGEST DAUGHTER
DAMN STAR CANT GO OUT TO LUNCH WITH A MAN WITHOUT THEM DATING

His name is Marc Lamont Hill I think. He is a professor at Temple University and spends much of his time on CNN, FOX discussing the 2008 Election.

Star looks bad and in the last pic, her hand by her vajayjay is not appealing, pose wise.
Mel B. looks awesome in red and she has great legs.
Kobe’s youngest girl, looks like a big doll sitting on his lap, His children are so cute.
On May 6, 2008 | Reply | Quote
Who is Rih talking too with that red ass hair???
Never liked Kobe much…didnt believe in the power of 5 when hes on the court, did everything pretty much himself. Congrats to him for MVP anyway…nice to see him with the fam.

Yes, we support the stars but we don’t own them. She has the right to walk through the mall and have lunch with a friend without being bombarded by fans. Yes, some of us take hero worship too far and invade on these peoples personal time. There is not a show going on at the mall. The girl is trying to lead a normal moment in her life. Go Rih Rih. Do you! I would get sick of the foolywang my-dang-self.
Kobe needs to take that youngest chile to the developmental clinic and get her tested. Can you say syndrome?
Star needs to find a low key spot and stop trying to get in front of the camera at paparrazzi flooded restaurants and events. She is a mediawhore to the ninth degree. And while you are at it Star, cover up those sagging knees. Honey, weightloss done wrong is not fashionable.
Mel B, we got it! You got a man and done moved on from Eddie. Stop staging for the cameras.

Yo, Rhianna’s friend, sister, cousin needs to kill that hot azz fragglerock mess. It just looks so cheap.
On May 6, 2008 | Reply | Quote
Im going to need for Star to leave that Scottish comotion of an outfit alone and throw that wig into a fiery furnace! Thank you very much.
Rihanna killed it at her concert in Houston friday. She is a very good performer despite what I previously thought. Her and Kanye have a great tour going on. Loves it.
And I am I the only bothered by Mel B’s husband? He looks like a creepy old blue eyed devil. Anybody who changes their last name to Bellafonte just because he thinks he “looks” like Harry Bellafonte scares me. How creepy is that? Yuk..I dont like that guy at all. what does he do?

People trip me out saying Kobe’s family is cute. Please look at the mother and youngest daughter again. Look closely. For those who believe having less melanin (lighter skin) makes a person cute, get a clue. The youngest girl looks slow in the head and the mother has such hard features. Just becasue they pass the “paper bag” test doesn’t make them cute.

I agree with your comments about stars and fans, but you know what to expect before you get into the business. Fans make musicians, no fans equal no sales, equal no success. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. Imagine how a true fan would feel if their once in a lifetime opportunity of meeting a star is shunned away with disrespect. Be nice, not rude

That’s Marc Lamont Hill with Star! He’s a professor at Temple, a writer and correspondent. That was definitely a business/industry dinner. He blogs over at The Root. He may have been interviewing her or something. Trust me that was no date.

There is no such thing as a “normal life” when you are an entertainer! Her “rights” are not being violated! She should have expected fans to notice her and want autographs if she is bold enough to walk through a mall like she is one of us. She isn’t… because I don’t know about you, but I can’t plop down $1000.00 for one bag. So no… she cannot have a “normal life”!

I know Rihanna may have seemed pissy, but DANG celebrities are entitled to a little privacy too. It must be strange and a little scary to have people you don’t know running up to you all the time. And now they think they know you because they might have read stuff about you on the internet. That’s a weird reality.
Star Jones looks good. Congrats to Kobe, cute little family! Mel B and her husband look like they are having a BLAST! Good for them.

You know I hate to kick a sista when she is down, but what was Star thinking when she picked that outfit and hairdo? I really liked the tone down wigs she was wearing after she lost all the weight, but I see she is picking that old habit up again. Also, that outfit is not working.

I need to vent:
Kobe is a dick…nuff said.
Star needs to take a timeout, she married a golddiggin’ fag! (I know that’s harsh, I’m trying to get better) And, she did it for publicity. There’s absolutely nothing cute about that. It’s VERY unattractive and so is she. Scary Spice looks nice but she “also” makes the worse choices in men. Maybe she and Star can figure out some shit together.
Rhianna is a cute, talentless, trip! She acts like “she thinks”, “we think”, she can really sing. I want her to give the egyptian sandals a rest. I also need her friend to stop wearing that Bozo red hair…immediately!! It hurts my eyes and I need my eyes.
Thank you for this opportunity in allowing me to vent. Now I won’t have to cuss a m/f out today. I hope.

I usually quite like Star. We all make mistakes, sometimes horrible ones that we’re ashamed of. Star just unfortunately, makes hers under media spotlight.
HOWEVER, on saying all of that. I must say this: Star looks horrid.
I’m sorry, but she does. Those legs in those boots with that skirt… No.

Star looks terrible. The wig is horrendous, and even though she’s lost weight, her body isn’t right for that outfit. The outfit is also terrible, and it’s too young for her old ass.
As far as celebs go. Like other people have mentioned, you lose your privacy when you become a megastar. You will NOT be able to do the things normal people do without being asked for an autograph, it comes with the fucking territory. There is no need to be nasty or rude to the people who have MADE you. Rihanna should also stop the nonsense, it’s not like she’s going to be around 10-20 years from now…

sorry but kobes younger daughter isnt cute at all. she looks like a muppet.
star jones is ewwww-that guy looks a little fruity but cute. i heard the lady is hella smart so maybe thats why all these guys are drawn to her? b/c it aint her looks
