Is That You Lauryn Hill?

Apr 19 | by Natasha

Well look who's joined the red carpet world. The usually recluse Lauryn Hill hit the paparazzi line at Plaza Athenee in NYC tonight looking fantastic. She made an appearance for the Tanzania Education Trust New York Gala hosted by President Jakaya Kikwete of the United Republic of Tanzania.

I'm uber excited to see her out and about as we all know this is a rarity. And for that reason (and that reason alone), I will ignore those eyebrows of hers that look like the entire cast of "Survivor" lived in them and had to fight their way through to live.

More pics of Ms. Hill when you read on...

She kicked it with Anthony Hamilton at the event. Good to see L Boogie again...

Hate the new site...but had

Hate the new site...but had to comment about Lauryn. LOVES her. MISS her. Her music is timeless. Her lyrics are heartfelt. She has a presence like no other. God given talent. With that talent is an artistic flair for a uniqueness all her own. Its ok to be different! I think she looks absolutely gorgeous. There is a freshness about her. A...I'm OK....look. And a collab w/AHamilton would be PRICELESS!

Facially she looks beautiful and there's a peace in her smile that was missing for too long. Presentation, she looks like aunty, but so what good to see her out and about. Must be hard stepping out when you've been off the scene a long time and you just know ppl are gonna make something of it.

Tasha too bad you didn't stick to your words and not mention the eyebrows knowing enough ppl would comment, (so lame). Glad to see Ms. Hill out and about. Hopefully, we will be graced with some new music from her.

She made her eyebrows look

She made her eyebrows look like that on purpose. You have to go out of your way to make your natural eyebrows look THAT bushy and unkempt. Do you Lauryn, do you gal. I know you are NOT crazy. Your REAL fans know what the deal is.

Man, when I saw both Anthony

Man, when I saw both Anthony Hamilton and Lauryn Hill I immediately thought "Great duo idea"! I hope they make that happen, even if it's not a new album just release a song for us. I too am very happy to see her out and looking happy, BUT there's no way to ignore that make-up. People are complaining about those eyebrows, but the first thing I noticed was that lip-liner and lipstick. At least she has nice skin. :-)

Funny thing is, even with the bushy ass eyebrows, Lauren still tops most in looks, including those who would hate on her sideways on a blog.

Why is it when celebrities

Why is it when celebrities decide to leave the game, they get dumped on? She may have her problems, but she is at home raising her kids, and that is more important than any new album. She looks great for her age and is very appropriate for the event, which is more than I can say for a lot of stars. When she is ready to perform again, she will. Just cut her some slack, folks.

I'm not sure why everyone's

I'm not sure why everyone's complaining about her eyebrows. They honestly don't look that bad, and they take nothing away from her beautiful face. She clearly likes them that way, and perhaps has her reasons as to why she won't groom them. It's good to see LBoogie looking happy & healthy. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill was easily the best album of the past decade. Love her!

Oh and I'm tired of everyone

Oh and I'm tired of everyone talking about "all that Lauryn has been through", she's not the first chick to get cheated on. She chose to stay and not move on and get a real man in her life like, I don't know, Halle Berry, Monica, Juanita Jordan, Shaq's ex-wife,you, me...Her grown-ass decision. She gets no sympathy from me and I'm so tired of her victim status.

"Hill soon became pregnant by

"Hill soon became pregnant by Marley, who himself was already married. She kept the information about the identity of the baby's father a secret to almost everyone; Jean assumed the baby was his when he first visited her in the hospital" I AGREE!! She sounds like she got caught up bein the jumpoff and then entered into a complicated lifestyle just to have children will "royal" Marley blood... egh
