Feb 27 | by Natasha

TheYBF.com was on the scene at the recent Black Women in Hollywood luncheon hosted by Essence Magazine and sponsored by Lincoln. We caught up with all of the fabulous women who hit the gold carpet, including all 4 honorees--Jennifer Hudson, Viola Davis, Loretta Devine, and Angela Bassett.

Check out our exclusive red carpet video coverage to find out if Serena Williams will be returning to "The Game," what shocked the hell out of J-Hud, and who Lauren London is a huge fan of, when you read on...

YBF's L.A. video correspondent Kalia snatched some face time with some of the most fab chicks in Hollywood on the BWIH gold carpet at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Peep our exclusive video above for celebs like Tia Mowry, Lauren London, Laz Alonso, and hilarious Gabrielle Union gushing on their fave celebs.

Oh, and Gabby cracks jokes about constantly getting mistaken for Sanaa, Brandy, and any other black chick in Hollywood. Check it!

And pics of celebs chillin' in the Pepsi We Inspire photobooth and the sexy Lincoln Lounge with Moet right before the event:

Funny girl Serena snapped some cute pics in the photobooth.

And she moved inside the Lincoln Lounge to laugh it up with Kimora, Tia and Tamera Mowry, and Niecy Nash:

So fab!

And celebs like Boris and Nicole Kodjoe rocked photo opps with Moet.

Honestly, I enjoyed Tia’s

Honestly, I enjoyed Tia’s speech regarding Jennifer Hudson; I thought the Speech was genuine and was from the Bottom of Her Heart…Tia is such a beautiful, sweet, and refined lady; I have nothing, but, admiration, respect, and love for her and her sister.

Yes, bring Serena back on

Yes, bring Serena back on "The Game!" I agree with her. It's the best show on TV, actually one of the best shows EVER. I don't care what anyone says. Tia and Tamera are just beautiful. Tia is just a beautiful, glowing mom-to-be. I'm so proud of these young ladies. I'm actually proud of all those sista's representing. They are beautiful and deserve the honors.

I could be wrong but Boris looks like he is tired of Nicole. Men, you know the look that I am talking about. It's the "wanna be in love look but can't fake it anymore"

I can't wait to see Jumping

I can't wait to see Jumping the Broom. I love Paula, Angela, Loretta, Tasha, Mike Epps. The rest I'll endure because I know this is a film that needs to be supported. The Game is pure ratchetness ever since BET has taken over the reigns. But I'm glad Tia is working. Viola Davis hands down is one of the best actors (men and women) working today. Her talent is unparalleled. She's in a league that only Meryl Streep occupies, that's how talented she is. Although I'm not a fan of JHud musically or acting wise, I admire her spirit, strength of character and resilience. She is an inspiration.
