Branford Marsalis made an appearance.

So did Hill Harper.

Estelle posed for the cameras before going inside.

Whaaaat? Leon brought a chick along? I'm shocked.

Lynn Whitfield's looking nice.

Star Jones is still working it out I see.

And Sherri Shepherd was there as well to support the YBF cast. Fab times.

I love that even though

I love that even though Denzel makes millions on the big screen he still works at and perfects his craft in front of a live audience. Sheryl Shephard needs a breast reduction. It would really make her figure look better though then she will have to do sit-ups and stuff to keep her middle flat because she won't have the breasts helping to detract from them. Leon, what's going on? Not his cutest look by far. Everybody else looks pretty decent including surprisingly Star Jones whose weave is a mess but the style is flattering if you get what I mean.

August Wilson's "Fences" is

August Wilson's "Fences" is such a great play! I read it while I was in college. I'm sure Ms. Davis and Mr. Washington are excellent in it.

Note to Jasmine: 1. Please

Note to Jasmine: 1. Please gain about 10 pounds. It will fill your face a bit. 2. Either take a master class at MAC or hire a makeup artist for the red carpet. No more do it yourself makeup jobs without proper training. 3. Please take thyself to Damone Roberts promptly. He will straighten out the eyebrow situation. I don't mind a thick brow but the color is too dark for your skin and hair color. These tips are meant to help you look 10 years younger. Miss Whitfield is a good 10 years older than you and y'all look the same age. Just sayin'

Jasmine has aged terrible. I

Jasmine has aged terrible. I heard that she drunks heavily. I just met her about 4 years ago and she did not look anything like this in person, she looked quite close to her old Whitley Gilbert character. Even Lena Horne aged beautifully so you cannot blame this necessarily on being lightskin. I think it's bad living.
