Erykah Badu, KeKe Palmer, Jill Scott And More At The 33rd Annual UNCF "An Evening Of Stars"

Aug 15 | by _YBF

The UNCF brought out some great talent in R&B and black Hollywood last night for their 33rd annual gala. See pics of Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, KeKe Palmer, Estelle, Jill Marie Jones, Tatyana Ali, and more hitting the stage to raise money inside...

Last night, the 33rd Annual UNCF An Evening Of Stars gala was held in Pasadena with folks like Erykah Badu helping to raise money for college scholarships.

Jill Scott looked beautiful as she performed.

Keke Palmer was also on hand to raise money in this cute green and black cocktail dress.

Actress Tatyana Ali helped with the presentations.

"The Game" stars Coby Bell and Pooch Hall were also presenters.

"Girlfriends" actress Jill Marie Jones rocked pretty waves and a black cocktail dress.

And Shaun Robinson brightened up the carpet in her hot pink gown.

Chocolate drop Lance Gross looked amazing in a white suit.

Patti LaBelle graced the stage.

Marsha Ambrosius also performed.

Love Ledisi's voice....but all these ruffles may not have been the best choice.

Anthony Hamilton performed in a plaid blazer.

Musiq Soulchild entertained the audience too.

Estelle was also there and rocked 2 cute shiny looks for red carpet and performance. Fab turnout for a great cause.

Erykah Badu got body. Nice

Erykah Badu got body. Nice curves E! Jill Scott looks good! My my she is gorgeous! Ledisi is eternally country with her style of dress and I guess she always will be. Maybe it's because she is froma country part of Louisiana? She cannot dress but I do love her voice. Tatyana Ali looks very classy and lady like in that dress. I LOVE IT! Lance is too sexy and the guys from the Game are too. Estelle looks good to my surprise! WOW. I've never seen her look this good EVER. She should keep doing whatever she's doing.

Where was cutie patootie Larenz Tate? He's normally at UNCF Functions & why does the pic of Pooch Hall remind me of Roscoe standing at the door of Gina's apt (from Martin). Not fond of Jills eyebrows but I still love her :)

I'm sorry, they all tell the

I'm sorry, they all tell the story of why black men are dating everything else. they look like men in makeup and drag, in my opinion. tatiana looks halfway decent, I guess, a little darker than I remember but still okay, unless thats a wig. why do erikah baduh and lauryn hill dress like they put alot of effort into looking like that?

Some of the ybf captions kill

Some of the ybf captions kill me... "Keke Palmer was also on hand to raise money in this cute green and black cocktail dress." We can see what color the dress is, but it certainly isn't a cocktail dress. It's a mini dress. At the very least, name the designer--instead of the obvious color of the dress. And if you're not going to get the description right, why bother.

It takes a lot to call someone ugly. Hopefully you are a real stunner in person. But you are absolutely gross on the inside thats for damn sure.

when will Jill Marie Jones

when will Jill Marie Jones be known for something other than Girlfriends.. She left the show prematurely ..and she has never been able to move beyond it..

I can't figure out what

I can't figure out what everyone found so appealing about Jill Marie Jones' acting or character on Girlfriends. Toni was a gold digging, self-centered, selfish snob and JMJ wasn't that great an actress, playing her--perhaps that explains why you don't see her in anything else.

I see Philly (Jill, Musiq, Patti) was well represented at such a wonderful event. Marsha is transplanted Philadelphian, and Estelle is in the city as much as the natives. Eryka spends a lot of time here too. Philly stand up!
