YBF folks hit up the NY premiere of American Gangster last night:
Anthony Hamilton and Questlove came out. Let’s follow the activator and curl juice shall we….
Jiggaman hit up the carpet.
Something’s changed. Nice suit though.
One of the sexiest men in Hollywood Idris Elba was there. Hot.
Rev. Perm was in the place.
Anthony Hamilton brought his wife along.
And the sexiness that is Common kicked it with Grandmaster Flash:
So Cuba’s decided to rock a suit with more room in it then usual:
Finally.
Denzel hit up the carpet with Pauletta:
Still playing that marriage role I see. If body language doesn’t speak volumes…
Judge Hatchett was there.
Oh Method Man:
The things I would do…..still.
RZA was pimpin it too:
Ruby Dee.
Diddy was in the place.
*Sigh* Evan.
And over at the afterparty:
Common had some words with the movie director.
Ice-T, RZA, and Cuba kiki’d it up.
And y’all know Playboy Barbie is never too far.
Sat, October 20, 2007 3:58 AM
Common looks so good and from a distance I have to Jigga his props. He is continually flyy but the face..i’ll leave that with no comment. Evan Ross obviously won’t be needing a Halloween costume. LOL. He should keep the ATL fade and lay off the shlack. And Lastly Cuba looks like he finally realized he has the money to get a suit tailor fitted and Common is so sexy!! O how could I forget Method Man is still fine as all hell!!
Sat, October 20, 2007 4:15 AM
WHAT, besides all the bling, does Bey see in Jigga? Yuck. And, does Cuba ever bring his wifey out of hiding?
Sat, October 20, 2007 4:18 AM
Something does look dif w/Jay. He actually looks young or something. Can’t put my finger on it. Tooth whitening…new grill…chemical peel? Meh, whatevs he looks a lil better. Meth is the hotness, he looks like he can lay it down.
Sat, October 20, 2007 5:02 AM
Wow am I in the top 4!? Im honored! Ok onto my comments: Common is d most daper I have seen in a while. I mean teew stylist has stepped his game up extremly (ie Bet Hip Hop Awards). Denzel I am worried about your mariage. Jay-Z there is something so different!!?? What could it be?
Sat, October 20, 2007 7:13 AM
JIGGA has been using some of the BLEACHING CREAMS,i see,not a bad look.
Sat, October 20, 2007 7:18 AM
Best dress goes to the jigga man. luv’n the suit and the cut of his collar.
guess he wins that slot by default now that TI is locked up.
runner up slot goes to diddy
Sat, October 20, 2007 7:25 AM
Jay does look rather nice. I am wondering if that person in the thid pic is hiding behind the poster.
Evan definitely should keep his look from ‘ATL’. It suits him better than the slick back that he’s rockin’ now.
Sat, October 20, 2007 7:27 AM
I meant to say slick back that Evan was rockin’.
Sat, October 20, 2007 7:29 AM
anthony hamilton- i hate the entire look. he should of tossed everything and started again from sqaure 1
evan ross- looks to much like a pretty boy, tone it down some. maybe a baseball cap would of helped
rza- thanks for not being afraid of bringing a date who looks like the under represented black woman
common- while he naturally ozzes sex appeal i’m not feeling the velvet jacket
cuba- looks ok but loses points for no imagination with his gear, all one color? and gray at that? stop playing it safe, the white people will stil love you even if you switch it up every now and again.
ladies- looking good for ya age
Sat, October 20, 2007 7:33 AM
opps, big ups to anthony hamilton for also showing of a wifey, no less, that looks like the under represented black woman
Sat, October 20, 2007 7:39 AM
denzel’s still got it. hope wifey is nailing down the hatches
Sat, October 20, 2007 8:09 AM
I LOVE ANTHIONY AILTON AND HIS WIFE 2GETER U ONT C IVES OF CELEBS LOOK LIKE HER!!!!!!!!!

Dang Coco looks decient(sp) for once
Sat, October 20, 2007 8:58 AM
LOL yeah Coco had to tame it down…. & Jay Shape Up is Crooked
Sat, October 20, 2007 9:07 AM
no method man aka big pappa from karrine
why does evan ross look so not straight
i cannot wait to see this movie
micheal jordan did the divorce take a que denzel?
diddy go away forever, please and take aubrey and kim k and cassie with you
Sat, October 20, 2007 9:21 AM
It’s his teeth!
Sat, October 20, 2007 9:34 AM
Everyone looked real nice. Even Coco looked like a real woman..
Sat, October 20, 2007 9:38 AM
Diddy is #1. Hottest man on the planet. Jigga should sit down. Anthony Hamilton and his wife should have consulted a stylist. Common, Meth, & RZA are hot. Ice T is a sell out and should not be supported. He is foolish. Coco is whack, tacky & doesn’t have any class.
Sat, October 20, 2007 9:47 AM
Yeah, there something different about Jay-Z alright; it’s called a lip reduction. Same thing Jill Marie Jones aka “Tony Childs” had done. Get it right, get it right, get it tight.
Sat, October 20, 2007 10:37 AM
I don’t know what in the heck ya’ll are you looking at but Jay-Z STILL looks a complete and total mess. He has to be one of the most unattractive men on the planet (Flavor Flav and his moms top the list). If he didn’t have stacks, Bey would be sniffing around someone else…for sheezy! In fact, the only way I can look at a photo of him is if I keep telling myself he’s rich..sin and ashame…sin and ashame. I’ve been looking cock-eyed at Meth since I found out he was the “Papa” Superhead was referring to in her book. Maybe after he’s been dipped, stripped, and rinsed…then I can give him a better once over. And Coco & T, umm…I’m sending in a special prayer donation just for them. T looks like someone’s grandpa walking around with an old stripper.
Sat, October 20, 2007 10:46 AM
Jay-z looks good because he is dressed nice. If it was based on his face alone, that would be another story.
I agree with the comment that was made about Anthony and his wife. [Not hating] but it’s nice to see a black man in the industry without the typical look.
Sat, October 20, 2007 10:52 AM
Yeah. Jigg been getting morelght skinned. Hmmm
Sat, October 20, 2007 11:12 AM
Hi all, first time, LOVE THIS SITE! On to comments: Are you SERIOUS on the BLEACHING CREAMS not being a bad look?? I hope to God he’s not bleachin. Bey is enough of a disgrace to the race with that ish.
Anthony Hamilton and wifey are a lovely sight!
Sat, October 20, 2007 11:25 AM
I agree with you in that Method Man comment. Mmmm, mmm, mmm… Lol!
Sat, October 20, 2007 11:34 AM
?est Love has a missing tooth?? Anthony Hamilton!!! NICE TIE!! Hova Is the man but he can afford a better Barber. Al Shrpton: Find a tie that stripes would ATLEAST match or match with the shirt….perferably white!!! Denzel Is the man!!!! The cameraman took the picture before he can get his sexy look out!!!! Method Man is fly …. when he aint high. lol!!!
Sat, October 20, 2007 11:37 AM
wow. looks like fun. can’t wait to see it!!

i hate when negroes make stupid comments like this. wtf does him bringing his wife to a movie have to do with presenting and announcing a dark skinned black woman to the world of hollywood? yall are some ignorant asses. do better.
Sat, October 20, 2007 12:10 PM
Either Jay-Z has a warped head or his barber messed up his line. But he does look nice. Come on people give the man his props yall know he’s not so CAMEL looking today…
Sat, October 20, 2007 12:20 PM
I usually dont write comments neither do i read them but im glad i read these here…. I am praying that i will see the day that us brown skinned people no matter what shade will believe that we are all in the same boat and will unite to be a strong force like the jews do it. We are in shambles cuz we do it to ourselves. Let me tell you: I was born and raised in Germany. My mom is white and my dad is african. Now i am the same colour like Tracy & Evan Ross and check this out in Germany nobody, I REPEAT noobody looks at me as if Im black. I have a white mom white grandparents and speak fluent german so nobody ever thought of me anything different. So when i came to New York 7 years ago all of a sudden I was “black” and i didnt even know what that meant. I am me only. I didnt think I was white but I also didnt think i was black or asian or whatever else catagory they have here … I was just never confronted with to MAKE UP my mind about which box to check off to identify who I am. i didnt know that in the USA by the way I look, I am suppossed to check of african american while I am anything BUT african american. If anything i am african, if you really wanna go by the book. I drew my own little box named it human and checked that one off. So I am begging you all to accept ourselves in any shade. If celebrities date/marry in your eyes lighter skinned black women, try to look at it this way: at the end of the day she ALSO has to check off that race check off box: african american. Love who you are and someone will love you the same way back no matter what shade. xoxo sandra
Sat, October 20, 2007 12:31 PM
Denzel looks GREAT in that first picture! Common looks sexy…but only when he wears a cap, the bald isn’t working for me; and I don’t know what Jay Z is doing, but he’s def. lookin better these days.
Sat, October 20, 2007 12:43 PM
Hov has some make up on, and looks as though he’s using the same barber as Jamie Foxx, We know you have grays Jay! No disrepect but it seems like Rev AL is everywhere black people in papparrazzi are. Minus the camera’s and he’s not there. I always wondered about him. I live in Texas and theres many racist things going on down here and our station 97.9 the beat with host comedian Ricky Smiley is our voice and mediator. I have not seen Al or any camera’s dawning light on our situations, even though he’s been called. Oh, and it looks like Jay is holding eggs in his cheeks, or has it always been like that?
Sat, October 20, 2007 1:18 PM
Yeah why does ?uestlove look like that???
Sat, October 20, 2007 1:42 PM
Even though Jay isn’t cute…he manages to look fly most of the time..
Evan Ross resembles MJ sooo much…it’s waaaay to scary..
Meth….OMG he is just tooo fricken sexy…*fans herself*..lol
Sat, October 20, 2007 1:49 PM
Common is so damn fine, he actually made me tear up! That’s a whole lotta sexy going on! I hope I never see him walking down the street in Brooklyn! I cant be responsible for my actions if I see him! LOL
Sat, October 20, 2007 2:00 PM
What are you talking about? Are you complaining that i pointed out he’s not afraid of showing off a dark skin woman or are you suggesting the point of the preieme from his perspective was to introduce a black skinned woman to the world of hollywood. if that’s the case we are saying the same thing. if not, you don’t make any sense. please rephrase so i can grasp the intent of your comment

I think she misinterpreted your comment!
Sat, October 20, 2007 2:34 PM
Lord have mercy. I can’t hate on this thread. I’m so anticipating this film! Ridley Scott, man! Russell Crowe, man! Denzel Washington, man! The rest of the cast, man! This movie will be INSANE!
Idiris Elba – *just gonna lay down in the floor here ‘coz this man is beautiful. BEAUTIFUL*
Common – *staying sprawled on the floor…so incredibly sexy*
Method Man – *goes into fits…I have always thought he was so cute and sexy and … stays going into fits*
JayZ – Nice skin tone and nice suit
Anthony Hamilton & Wife – Nice couple; nice Black couple and I love his song for this film
RZA & Wife – Again, beautiful Black couples, I love seeing :)
Ruby Dee – Gorgeous and classic
Diddy – He always looks so good! I don’t think he’s that sexy, but he’s got his suit game and debonair-game on point. ;)
Evan Ross – Seek the sun, young man.
Yay, for Black Star Power!
Sat, October 20, 2007 3:06 PM
Common is THE sexiest man alive…Period
Ps…I love this freakin website!

It is very obvious. He must have donated his portion to Britney Spears.
Sat, October 20, 2007 4:18 PM
Diddy#1 but not feeling the way it’s been going down with Kim & the other baby mama.He needs a lifeover …the new home alone video is real smart move though
Some of the pics look like real promo shots like Jigga with the paparatz..& Diddy pic
Method is the Man!
Can’t wait to see the movie
Sat, October 20, 2007 5:00 PM
1. Doesn’t the chick that RZA is pictured with look like Tocarra?
2. Love the fact that Denzel and Anthoy Hamilton have wives that are beautiful without fitting the mold of the standard hollywood wife. They show that beauty comes in all colors : )
Sat, October 20, 2007 5:02 PM
I don’t know… That’s a new one… Not saying it doesn’t exist as I don’t know… But, lip reduction?
When did Jill Marie Jones do that? I know my friends and I were wondering was different about her when you compare the seasons… She obviously got that spacilicious grill fixed… Initially, she had small spacey teeth, but later they looked normal, so I assumed she got veneers…
As for Jay-Z, I remember SOMEbody had said he was on a diet, perhaps he lost weight? He looks younger and slimmer, and that will do it for you… If that’s the reduced lip look, that says aLOT about his “before” look…
In summary, he still ain’t the most attractive man out there…
Sat, October 20, 2007 6:42 PM
Denzel’s Wife Pauletta looks fabulous. So does Ruby Dee. Black don’t crack, my people.
Anthony Hamilton and his wife, Denzel and his wife, Rza and his wife—seeing such beautiful black couples gives me warm fuzzies.
Sat, October 20, 2007 6:48 PM
Ruby Dee STILL looks great..a living legend! Good to see Pauletta and D out for a change but her necklace was wrong for that dress and neckline…(although I know it cost much $$$$) Moreover, I love RZA’s wife’s look especially that slammin’ belt (loves it). Beautiful woman with a simple yet classy look!
Sat, October 20, 2007 7:06 PM
Meth. I coming for you with yo sexy umph.
Sat, October 20, 2007 8:18 PM
This movie is such a stereotypical, lame, and dangerous idea… really… AND, Denzel’s acting is being questioned in this review I read… Perhaps, there are other better reviews, I’ll concede that BUT I agree with the movie critic whose essay I read…When Denzel is “assassinating” people he looks forced and unnatural… I just don’t get his interest in this film, really… And, Jay Z comes out of retirement again (or didn’t Kingdom Comes flopdom send him back?) to do an album? This movie is like the cinematic equivalent of a midlife crisis… And, Denzel is my man, too…WHY?
Sat, October 20, 2007 8:48 PM
Actually RZA’S wife looks something like the girl who played in A Bronx Tale(cant remember her name)
Different look for the selection or women on the Red Carpet
Black is Beautiful!

Method Man could definitely get some…ruff, hard, nasty, sweaty…nookie!
Sat, October 20, 2007 11:20 PM
IT IS SO F#@$!%^&!!! TYPICAL OF BLACK FOLKS IN AMERICA TO EXHIBIT THE CRABS IN THE BASKET EFFECT. WHY DON’T YOU EVER SEE WHITE PEOPLE HAT’N ON ONE ANOTHER LIKE WE DO. I AM UPSET AND REPULSED BY ALL OF THE COMMENTS ABOUT SKIN TONE AND WHO HAS BIG LIPS. THE FUNNY THING (NOT SO FUNNY TO ME) IS THAT AS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN CHILD, I GREW UP IN BROOKLYN WITH OTHER BLACK KIDS TEASING ME FOR MY LIPS, AND STILL TODAY WHEN I SEE TONY CHILDS ON TELEVISION, I FEEL MY OWN INSECURITY ABOUT MY LIPS AND I WONDER IF SHE FEELS THE SAME. WHY CAN’T WE ACCEPT OTHERS FOR BEING “DIFFERENT”. AS PEOPLE NO TWO PERSONS ARE THE SAME, NOT EVEN TWINS. THE ONE GOOD THING ABOUT HANGING WITH WHITE PEOPLE, IS THEY DON’T SEE US THE SAME AS WE SEE OURSELVES. MY SON WEARS HIS HAIR NAPPY (like Gary Dourdan from CSI) TO A PREDOMINENTLY WHITE SCHOOL AND NO ONE SAYS ANYTHING TO HIM. AND WHEN WE JOIN FAMILY FOR THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE ASKS WHAT DOES HE DO TO HIS HAIR OR IF HE WASHES IT. THE IGNORANCE OF BLACK PEOPLE TRULY BOTHERS ME ESPECIALLY WHEN WE POST OUR IGNORANCE OUT IN PUBLIC VIEW FOR ALL TO SEE!….Yes, if you feel this comment is directed torwards you, then it is!!!
Sat, October 20, 2007 11:50 PM
My goodness! So many sexy black men..where do I even start. Had an opportunity to meet common @ this year’s superbowl and I must say that he is by far the gentleman that we beleive he is. Method Man is loud, rude, and crude but he is still one sexy mutha$#%^&.
Sun, October 21, 2007 12:02 AM
Wow, Jay sprung for new lips!
Sun, October 21, 2007 12:10 AM
totally agree. however,she has big cash also, go figure
Sun, October 21, 2007 12:20 AM
shut up and go back to germany!
Sun, October 21, 2007 12:39 AM
Jay looks nice, but something is different. His face looks a lil bigger I think.
Meth! Um Um UM!!! He is just sooooo SEXY!
Evan is so in the closet or something! He may need to “man-up” appearance wise! And a NICE shape up could be used!
AWWWWWWWWW I wish TI could have been there!
–Tis all! Courtney!!!

Stringer Bell, ummm I mean Idris Elba toooo sexy including Method man. I hope I think about ‘em enough so I can have some goooood dreams tanight. Them 2 just don’t know!!!!
Sun, October 21, 2007 2:55 AM
I’m glad Cuba got a bigger suit and Jigga got a smaller suit. Common stay looking fly! That’s a Chi-Town brotha for you. Glad Anthony Hamilton shaved!
Ruby Dee looks amazing and don’t be hating on Denzel and his wife!
Sun, October 21, 2007 2:00 PM
Okay, I got my Common and my Idris, but where is my number one love, Chiwetel Ejiofor?
Sun, October 21, 2007 2:18 PM
Black people kill me!!! ALways talking about each other instead of upping each other!! We find something wrong with the ugly people, we even find something wrong with the PRETTY people!!! I mean come on with hatin!!! OK, Jayz aint the best looking out here and I’m sure he aint the worst but don’t the whole world arleady know this, must we comment on this mans looks EVERYTIME!!! Whateva he looks like he, he’s RICH!!! I’d rather look like Jayz with all that dam* money than look like some of yall and BROKE!!!!!
Sun, October 21, 2007 2:21 PM
Everone looked nice! Can’t wait to see the movie! Paulette looks like she has picked up some weight, but she is still fab!

Oh and some of yall got alot of nerves saying B wouldn’t be with him if he didn’t have no money, well probably NOT and he probably wouldn’t be parading around town with her if she wasn’t, cause we sure never seen him like this with no other chick! And B could have gotten any other famous rapper or actor, she didn’t have to chose Jay. So don’t speak for her, she obviously loves him. Trust me, EVERYBODY is fine to somebody and EVERYBODY is ugly to somebody!!! So he FINE TO HER!!! Let it be!!! Just wish u WERE them!!!
Sun, October 21, 2007 4:40 PM
Method and Common can get it. Meth don’t even have to try; cause he’s the most underdressed of them all and still hella sexy. Everyone looks good except for RZA Ice-T and BooBoo da Fool (Coco).
As for Diddy…the man has style but I can’t stand a brotha who puts a wave kit on the dome piece. It doesn’t make him look any better so he needs to stop.
I think what looks different about Jay is that he’s dignified. No extra childish and immature bling bling earrings, and neck pieces.
I can’t waite to see Denzel in this movie; cause I know he’s going tear it down.
Sun, October 21, 2007 6:55 PM
Meth i luuuv youu uu, lol
Ahh ok, m good now :-)
Sun, October 21, 2007 6:58 PM
Oh yeah and *sighin and stuff* Idris elba
Sun, October 21, 2007 7:25 PM
Idris Elba ….all day everyday! He is so the truth and I can’t wait to see him on the big screen going toe to toe with Denzel.
Sun, October 21, 2007 7:33 PM
If Denzel isn’t happy then he should leave wifey.. living with a crab ass wife is like living with a cat and never changing the cat litter, the more days go by the stinkier the shit becomes.
“*Sigh* Evan.” That’s not Evan, it’s a gay vampire.
Sun, October 21, 2007 8:36 PM
I love love love Quest! But is my brotha missing a tooth? Yikes. Maybe it’s intentional… he’s channeling the Cornel West aesthetic or something? Me thinketh, though, that we need only one saber toothed tiger in the black intelligensia. Grrrr :)

It apparent what Jay Z has done. He has gotten his hair darken. It is a nice look on him.
Everyone looks wonderful….dare I say it….even Coco. I am glad she understands that its a time and place for certain attire.

Although I luv Anthony Hamilton, him and his wife could have done a lil better w their choice of dress!
Judge Hatchett just looks bad! Please pay attention to all the makeup that is slapped on her face!! I think there was a pic posted of her recently and she just looks terrible!
Method Man…**no words, just closes door and shuts off lights** :)
Mon, October 22, 2007 11:31 AM
