    YBF Folks Celebrate Tyler Perry’s Atlanta Studio Opening

    The YBF stars came out to help Tyler Perry celebrate his grand opening of his movie and tv studio in Atlanta. Huge move for him and the black community.

     

    Of course Mr. Smith was there.

    So were Oprah and Stedman.

    But then she busted out crying with Sidney Poitier.


    Lots more pics when you read the rest…

    The men came with the dapper looks.

    Cicely Tyson made an appearance.

    So did Angela Burt Murray, an editor of Essence Magazine.

    Nicole Ari Parker Kodjoe showed off her gorgeous new haircut while hitting the red carpet with her hubby Boris.

    Barry Bonds brought along his wife Lisa.

    Tasha Smith hit the carpet looking fabulous.

    John Legend and Kimberly Elise made appearances.

    Michael Jai White and his wife Cortney hit the carpet.

    Malik Yoba hit the carpet solo.

    Lynn Whitfield looked fab.

    Kirk Franklin and his wife looked fabulous on the carpet.

    Patti Patti stole the show of course.

    Tyler and his date for the evening actress Gelila Bekele looked stunning.

    Even Star Jones looked nice.  But it looks like she left her new chef man Herb at home.

    Heeey Ms. Jenifer.

    Holly Robinson Peete hit the carpet solo.

    And so did new mom Terri Vaughn.

    Eva and her man Lance rocked the carpet nicely.

    I see Ms. Edmunds is still looking hot these days.

    Denyce Lawton and Wesley Jonathan hit the carpet separately.  I wonder if things aren’t peachy keen anymore with those two.

    And y’all already know Nick and Valerie hit the carpet.

    And um, who’s your new girl Lamman?

      I’M ALL ABOUT A BLACK MAN DOING HIS THING, BUT ROBBING THE PEOPLE WHO HELPED YOU GET TO WHERE YOU ARE IS NOT GOD-LIKE.

      ITS BAD ENOUGH THAT WE ARE ALREADY FAR AND FEW IN HOLLYWOOD. BUT TO GET BLATANTLY DISRESPECTED BY ONE OF OUR OWN IS EVEN WORSE. ITS ALMOST AS IF IT IS JUSTIFICATION FOR THEM TO CONTINUE TO DO AS THEY DO…ESPECIALLY IF “OUR OWN” IS DOING IT TO US.

      TP IS JUST GIVING MAINSTREAM HOLLYWOOD IDEAS…

      ….Oh and on more serious issues, props 2 Tyler Perry. This is big for us black folks. No longer we gotta depend on white-run studios n production houses 2 get “our” movies out. We got power and say over what comes out so hopefully less stupid ass comedies like Soul Plane or Norbitt.

      LMAO @ Oprah getting a lil emotional there…

      Theres a trend of African American firsts in the air. Barack Obama come on down. You are the next contestant on “The Time is Right”!

      You would be surprised, they always like paying the white folks, but the blacks always have to fight for there money. John Singleton is the same way.

      Tyler doesn’t even acknowledge those who helped him along the way. Th people who helped him, are not within his circle of friends any longer. He is embarrassed by them now.

      JJ Tyler is making a GRAVE mistake by embracing the jealous black man hating Oprah Winfrey. He is allowing her to influence him.

      She is a nut case. That’s why she is crying all the time.

      Wow, I must say I was just thinking about how great it would be with the money and clout that Tyler Perry has to produce our own movies instead of letting Hollywood dictate how we can be depicted. This is great and will open up opportunities for overlooked black actors and black film in general. I’m so excited!! I don’t think everyone knows what this means.

      Black people are going to have to start boycotting this ghetto trash who have forgotten where they came from if this keeps up.

      For years, everyone knew that the dirty oprah catered to rascist and hired only whites. Black men should be smarter than that.

      Black people are going to have to start boycotting this ghetto trash who have forgotten where they came from if this keeps up.

      For years, everyone knew that the dirty oprah catered to rascist and hired only whites. Black men should be smarter than that.

      I think your on the wrong site. Perhaps you need Perez Hilton, TMZ, Fox News………….

      Old oprah is crying because she is so happy that 2 black people, her and tyler, made it out of the mississippi cotton fields. never mind about the millions still stuck in them. she is so brain damaged that she thinks 2 people making it is a great accomplishment!

      I really get mad at black people sometimes. We will support a Tyler Perry movie all the time but something like Spike Lee’s new movie we wont go see. Sometimes we need to stop laughing at all our drama and deal with a little history, so we can teach our kids about the strong people from whence we came from. The Great Debaters was another great movie that did not do as well at the Box Office. We need to be diverse in our viewing. GO SEE MIRACLE AT ST. ANNA!!! Just so you know, I saw Tyler Perry’s movie also!

      Ya know, TP is gripping ol’ girl’s hip like ain’t tomorrow in that second pic … *snickers in the corner*

      And why does she have to be a grubbin’ foreigner?! Damn it’s like that now. Hell, dude can be with who he wants to be with. It’s his damn choice. Even if it is only for one night…

      Let the man have his evening and discuss the complaints at another time. There really is a time and a place for everything…

      I don’t know how hollywood men could let a beautiful girl like kimberly elise walk around single, AND who the heck is tyler’s date? Some money grubbing foreigner? Hope he doesn’t fall in the trap of american haters looking for money like lisa raye, and all the rest.

      I feel you. Kimberly Elise is beautiful but maybe she WANTS to be single. Every woman needs her Me, Myself and I time.

      The last I heard, Kimberly Elise was married with two daughters… maybe she got a divorce?!

      So true and even though I didn’t check out Miracle at St. Anna yet, I am well aware of my history, our history. Too bad some people think we should forget what we been through. Never that.
