Weekend Fab
Last night YBF folks were out in full force at the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference Gala:
Fab chick Kerry Washington was there to accept the CBC person of the year award for her constant social activism and so was Jesse Jackson. Several other celebs like Kym Whitley, Holly Robinson and Rodney Peete, Barack and Michelle, and others were there too. More pics of those folks to come later. Kerry looked even more fabulous in person and she stopped by my table to chat and say she’s still a YBF fan. Kudos to that. The event was star packed and Barack gave an incredible speech while accepting the Harold Washington award. And all that free flowing wine didn’t hurt either…
Congrats to the Chair and President of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation (she also happens to be my fabulous aunt), Dr. Elsie Scott, and the rest of the CBCF crew for such a fab event. And shout out to all the MANY YBF fans I met during this weekend’s events.
More pics from other weekend events when you read the rest..
The stars of “The Game” and others hit up the show’s red carpet premiere yesterday:
Terri Vaughn looked cute and laid back with her hubby in tow. I still can’t believe she just had a baby.
Rick Fox hit the carpet.
So did Pooch Hall, Hosea Sanchez, and Shanti Lowry.
NFL baller Marcellus Wiley hit the event.
And Wendy Raquel Robinson hit the carpet too.
And “The Game”’s creator Mara Brock Akil hit the carpet showing off her preggers belly and her hubby. Congrats Mara!
Queen latifah and Nick Cannon and others hit up the Angel City Classic event in LA:
Oh hey there Gabby. Long time no see. Sidenote–is anyone else happy for no reason that Queen brought back the asymmetrical bob form the early 90’s?
Flo rida performed at the event.
Gabs kicked it with Akon too.
And Angie Stone was there.
And so were Anthony Hamilton and Debbie Allen. Fun times.

That dress would be perfection on Kerry if she wore her hair down and curled.

Booo @ Jesse Jackson. I hope he was calling to get a clue.

I could be wrong, but I believe queen latifah, flo rida, and gabby union were at a different event down here in Florida (not in LA). It was in support of breast cancer research and I thought that queen did a small performance. The news down here made a big deal about all of the celebs that showed up.

I have only 2 bad things to say (well I don’t think it’s bad)…`1) FLO RIDA, PULL THEM BRITCHES UP, SON! 2) Jesse, please go hide in a cave with Osama Bin Laden!
Other than that, ALL my folks look good, fabulous, etc.

I was able to attend the CBC gala and it was great to see so many powerful Black people coming together to celebrate one another. Patti Labelle performed, and I also spotted Wendell Primus from the Wire. He also attended the party at the Newseum that was basically the party of the year!

How can I forget about my man Obama! But, what more can I say, everyone on this site I am sure is so proud of him. His speech at the CBC was amazing…as usual…

Almost everyone looks great. Flo Rida…I hate looking at his damn drawz. I bet he has sh!t stains…Fox needs to shave and trim them brows. Not into Metrosexuals but this is an exception….Mara Akil’s bangs are killing me but she gets a “Preggers Pass”…Debbie Allen can sing?!? Loves her…Can’t wait until the Game airs…THAT’S MY SHOW!!!

Is it me or is that Wendy’s scapula sticking out? Hopefully she is not falling prey to the Hollywood “thin is in” look.
Whoever said Rick Fox looks scary; I second that.

You would have a fine man on your arm all the time to, if you had to buy him. Angie has spent LITERALLY hundreds of thousands on men, trying to get them and keep them.

Damn where do I start? Jessy looks like he’s up to something, probably still plotting to cut Obama’s balls off, LOL!
Terri Vaugh looks great and her husband is kinda cute! What does he do? Who is he? He looks like a ball player or something.
Why does every one from The Game sans Wendy’s head look funny. Dude w/ the widows peak has a weird hairline, and Derwin…well I always thought his hair line was off. But everyone including the lightskin chick w/ light eyes and Mara’s husband’s haed looks extra long (maybe it’s the photo lens or something)
Gabby looks the same, cute as usual. oh and I always liked Kerry! Oh and I almost forgot…Rick Fox looks homeless! And Flo Rida looks silly and weird! Is everyone on ‘roids damn shit just ain’t natural!

You know Jesse Jackson always looks like he’s doing something underhanded. Look at the way he’s talking on the phone in that picture, I’ll bet he’s saying something negative about Barack Obama to whoever he’s talking to.
Quote

I can only imagine what Jesse Jackson’s talking about on the cellphone. Let me guess: How to attack my boy Barack in the cheapest most underhand way possible; and another rally on how blacks can play the race card conveniently, while profitting off us and holding us back. UGH Jesse and Al need to stop. Jesse in particular is filled with animosity towards Obama, as he represents everything he could never become. Opportunists plain and simple!
POOCH HALL!!! DAMN he’s sexy as hell. I’m 10 years younger than him, I hope I stand a chance….Just too fine. I feel a false pregnancy coming just LOOKING at that!!!!!
Terri Vaughn’s husband looks like a chubbier version of 50 Cent. They make a cute couple.
Gabby and Kerry are fab as ever.
Angie Stone is a great singer.
Debbie Allen is the truth. Multi talented black woman. Such an inspiration!

Morning YBFer’s
Kerry Washington’s dress and her whole look is gorgeous! That is a bad chick. So glad that she ALWAYS represents for Barack and her party.
Jesse Jackson’s invite should have been revoked. Hi Hater!
Angie Stone does look cute, but her eye makeup is questionable.
So excited about the return of The Game. Can’t wait! But Pooch Hall and Hosea’s haircuts are hideous. Mohawks can not be worn by everyone. Not a good look.
Terri Vaughn and Wendy look fab.
