Keke Palmer has been named the “#8 Most Valuable Young Star In Hollywood” according to Forbes Magazine. Palmer was the only African-American Teen Actress names on the list along with Daniel Radcliff, Miley Cyrus, Dakota Fanning, Abigail Breslin, Hayden Panettiere, Emma Watson, and others. Loves it.
First Lady Michelle O. is getting lots of YBF chicks to help her promote women’s Awareness month. According to the Sun Times:
The First Lady will host a series of events on Thursday in celebration of Women’s History Month. Twenty-one women at the top of their fields will join the First Lady in visiting local schools and speaking with students about their career goals and achieving their dreams. These events are an extension of the Obama administration’s commitment to engage with the DC community and open the White House for arts, culture and educational purposes.
Alicia Keys, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Alfre Woodard are just a few of the ladies. Story
More ish when you read the rest…
Christian Combs is his dad’s feature model for the Sean John line. Lookin’ just like a mini-Diddy.
And just as we predicted, Bravo has taken the “Real Housewives” show to New Jersey:
And just like we predicted, nan a person of color is up in this mix either. The only women of color that have been on any season or any city of Real Housewives is Atlanta–and we see how that mess is getting played. Bravo is just being extra deliberate with this ish at this point. Oh wells. Are we really surprised?
By the way, for those of you who care, The Real Housewives of New Jersey premieres May 12th and includes a pair of sisters — who married brothers— and their sister-in-law. More details here. Whoa.

Bravo has struck again!!!
Wed, March 18, 2009 10:04 PM
And to comment… Justin sure looks like his daddy… should have been Sean Combs Jr.
Real housewives of NJ?!?! Eww… I live near NJ and went to school in affluent Alpine NJ and those heiphers are so fake, so boogie, and so lame…. NEXT!
Wed, March 18, 2009 10:06 PM
Lil Combs is a cutie!
We havent heard anything about Diddy's love child in a minute..where she at?
Wed, March 18, 2009 10:06 PM
AWW and first!
Wed, March 18, 2009 10:06 PM
well root toot to you for being first! and wow diddy boy looks just like him!
Wed, March 18, 2009 10:07 PM
And why is everyone in the Housewives of NJ married to people in the same family?!?! I had to draw a family tree in my head… smhhh
Wed, March 18, 2009 10:08 PM
Congrats to KeKe its about time our youth get rcognized. Lawd knows I was getting tired of shows leaving Raven off their top paid teens!!
Wed, March 18, 2009 10:09 PM

Wed, March 18, 2009 10:13 PM
That little boy looks JUST like his damn daddy.
Wed, March 18, 2009 10:17 PM
gotdamn diddys got some ugleeee chillin
Wed, March 18, 2009 10:19 PM
ok no surprise there.. but to the defense of Bravo it's blogs like yours who continously help bash black women. Why is that ATL Housewives is the only HW show that has been such a disgrace? I mean it would not be like that if black bloggers like you would stop being soooo messy… I mean when OC, NY etc did they thing you did not hear anything from the white bloggers in regards to dishing the dirt on them…. But oh now we have black women on the show and you yes you are the man one talking bad about them.. I mean you are so messy it's you! fault yourself!!!!
Wed, March 18, 2009 10:38 PM
yay for KeKe.
Now, I get that Alica is a part of the story. But why use her pic instead of one of Michelle? just curious
Wed, March 18, 2009 10:40 PM
I think he's cute. he's going to look better than Diddy (even tho I luv him, sorry!). I see Kim Porter all up in his face too
Wed, March 18, 2009 10:42 PM
I was thinking the same thing
Wed, March 18, 2009 10:48 PM
I have to agree with u WHATEVER I think were all to involved in these celebs life that we start thinking were supposed to know all there business. I think we need to step back and give these people a lil bit of privacy because what if we were the ones getting our picture takin every second of the day or we had our financial troubles all over the news or blogs how would we feel??
Wed, March 18, 2009 11:17 PM
LOL arent you on this site too?….are you on here cuz you dont wanna be all in their biz? im confused!
Wed, March 18, 2009 11:20 PM
@whatever! I agree with you on some points. But now that everyone dogs out the Black Housewives (especially black women), people have started digging up some dirt on the OC and NY wives also.
Ex.-They say Jeff didn't leave a Gretchen a dime when he died. Although, on the OC they showed her taking care of him through his illness. There are many other stories about the OC & NY wives that I've read or heard.
I guess when you are on TV your life becomes an open book.
Wed, March 18, 2009 11:24 PM
Did we have a first lady over the past 8 years? LOL! I have never heard of whatever her name is doing anything with the community like this! Michelle is a awesome first lady. It's like America is coming back to life. She makes me want to do more in my community, and i already volunteer. Anywhooo….Diddy's little guy looks like a cuter version of him.
Wed, March 18, 2009 11:24 PM
Congrats to Keke…..she is such a doll.
Bravo is WACK for that ish.
Ummmmm ……….Diddy's son looks JUST like him.
Wed, March 18, 2009 11:24 PM
I agree with you forreal, but its not just black bloggers that do that i mean white media take jabs at black in the limelight by finding flaws in each one. And many black blogs seem to join in and even take it to extremes. Why is it that we as blacks tear each other down rather than build each other up. It seems as though black are the only race that dont really give back and rebuild as much as others do.
Wed, March 18, 2009 11:27 PM
Forgot to add………….Diddy's son is a cutie. Also, that Chrisette Michelle pic is FIRE!
Wed, March 18, 2009 11:30 PM
Well of course bravo wants to continue to play into sterptypes like ever other "reality show"…if no one says anything or speaks out on it then they will contiue to do what they do best…sterotype black women
Wed, March 18, 2009 11:32 PM
If you go to the bravo website TRUST me its ugly..I was messing around on the computer and when I started reading the mean spirited stuff they were sending to the Houswives directly through Bravo is horrible..
its all entertainment and no matter what we say–they will still get paid. I have a problem when they are NOT housewives. that is bogus
Wed, March 18, 2009 11:37 PM
Why isn't Beyonce included? She is telling everyone who would listen that Michelle O has crowned her "First Role Model" …LOL! Anyhooo…Did we have a first lady over the past 8 years? LOL! I have never heard of whatever her name is doing anything with the community like this! Michelle is a awesome first lady. It's like America is coming back to life. She makes me want to do more in my community, and i already volunteer. Anywhooo….Diddy's little guy looks like a cuter version of him.
Wed, March 18, 2009 11:43 PM
Go KeKe…lets just pray she dont go Megan Good on us. Stay grounded girl!!!
Wed, March 18, 2009 11:46 PM
I will not be watching NJ/HW. There is enough HW's on television!
Wed, March 18, 2009 11:47 PM
Christian looks nice. He is a cutie! nothing negative to say about him…
Wed, March 18, 2009 11:56 PM
1. Real Housewives of NJ??!?!
2. We don't wanna see that Sh*t!
3. I'll take Housewives of Miami anyday…hint, hint Bravo
4. Michelle is pressin' hard- she's leavin' creases! Go girl!
5. Tracee Ellis Ross though???
6. What advice can she give besides try to chose your parents?? *shrugs*

Thu, March 19, 2009 12:37 AM
Love KiKi….miss Raven…she should be an exec at Disney or something…well she got her money and she gone!! I hope none of Diddys boys dont grow up to be sluttish like him! hes a handsome lil guy tho!
Thu, March 19, 2009 1:04 AM
And if there were a black woman on the show, someone would complain about her being ugly, typical, light-skin, straight hair or whatever else they could possibly find. Does it matter? I mean really? Were a black woman included would that have made everything right?
Thu, March 19, 2009 1:12 AM
Diddy and Kims son is way to fresh and cute for his age. Hes gonna look just like Diddy when he grows up!
Thu, March 19, 2009 1:14 AM
Look at Lil Diddy. He is a spitting image of his daddy. Wowzers!!!!
Thu, March 19, 2009 1:55 AM
KEKE IS DOIGN HER THING

Thu, March 19, 2009 3:45 AM
It's soo funny how Quincy is the dead stamp of Al B. Sure and Christian is the dead stamp of Diddy. O geez la weez, Kim boys are 100% replica of their father!
Thu, March 19, 2009 3:55 AM
Which one of the NJ Housewives is YBF??…..

Thu, March 19, 2009 6:59 AM
Why is my man your profile pic?? *SMiling while throwing bows
Thu, March 19, 2009 10:38 AM
I saw that Jaden Smith was on that list as well…
Thu, March 19, 2009 11:44 AM
The Real Wives of New Jersey look a tragic mess…no fly points whatsoeva!
Thu, March 19, 2009 11:48 AM
I agree, Christian is absolutely adorable!!!!!!
Thu, March 19, 2009 11:48 AM
Ive watched the new york season only a few times the california season…never really got into it..but i watched the atlanta season entirely. pretty much because of all noise i heard about it. Everyone is talking about the "black " which I agree is true, it does happen and bravo is apart of the statistic. They want drama, why fix it if it aint broke? It a recession folks. the atlanta season was the highest rated ever for them. and we know the show will continue with drama. BUT this new season has DRAMA written all over it as well. I mean even the depiciton of the new season is eerie to itself enough if you read the cast. You have two sisters married to two brothers? and then bring an inlaw into it? lets not start with the polygamy or incest stereotypes or controversy (or atleast tv late show topics). Bravo found the secret ingredient that most mtv and vh1 reality shows fall into, the DRAMA. I agree the black issue is still at hand and will need to be dealt with when it comes to the big networks but its bigger than a black issue, its a society issue, a culture issue. Bravo needs to get in check.
Thu, March 19, 2009 12:16 PM
Diddy son is cute, he looks like his father. I do not appreciate the negative comments about a child. That is sooo mean and unnecessary. I love Ke Ke, I hope she continues to stay positive and grounded. NJ Housewives is not a YBF issue, so no comment. I love everything about Michelle Obama, she is my role model. I know since they have been in my life, I have tried to be more involved in my community. The Obama'a are the real role models not these reality shows. Let's face it, whether there is a black person on these reality shows or not they are all poor representations of their races. They are some classless people on these shows. I am certain white people are appalled by the way they are protrayed on these shows. There are grave disparities within all races.
Thu, March 19, 2009 12:42 PM
I have a question. If Michelle Obama supposedly told Beyonce that she was a role model for young girls, then where is her name on the list? Makes me wonder if Beyonce was strecthing the truth. Just sayin'
Thu, March 19, 2009 12:43 PM
thats not nice to say about a child. no matter who the parents are.
Thu, March 19, 2009 12:50 PM
Wow! Diddy's son looks just like him! And why is it that these housewives (NJ, OC and NY) all look like they have on cheap ass clothes? I know they are probably expensive, but they look so Rainbowish!
And Doubtful… Why is Bey on ur brain? She has nothing to do with this convo… Can we have ONE thread where Bey is NOT brought up?
Thu, March 19, 2009 1:21 PM
I think it is a great thing that the 1st Lady is doing, young girls (especially black girls) think the only thing they can do is be arm candy. I am happy that KeKe is finally being recognized for her talent, Disney neither Nick have Black kids on their shows, and if they do they googfy or the butt of the joke. We need more of our youth doing positive things.
Thu, March 19, 2009 1:22 PM
I'm no the only one wondering about Bey, maybe you should check out Keepin' It Real's post as well, well, well!!!
Thu, March 19, 2009 1:30 PM
Is alicia keys still being a home wrecker,and sleeping with swizz
Thu, March 19, 2009 1:36 PM
So many bey fans i guess fakeness lives in alot of people,she screams she writes her own music then she gets hushed everytime bc the real writers come out and say it, havent had much respect 4 the girl since she dumped kelly and michelle,and is she still 25 she must be a vampire bc she never ages,although her face says something different. You know in order 2 be a diva u dont have 2 be half naked in ur videos,jennifer hudson is diva,brandy is a diva but that talent goes unnoticed bc they r ladies,something that bey lacks,but shes the queen of fake, but if u people admire that,the world gets sadder everyday. Admire angela bassett,or michelle obama real women that dont use sex 2 move ahead….
Thu, March 19, 2009 1:40 PM
Thank you for trying to educate our people…I just hope it doesn't fall on deaf ears!!!
Thu, March 19, 2009 1:43 PM
Awww..well dang, he gets no love huh??!!
Thu, March 19, 2009 1:46 PM
Diddy could not deny Christian! LOL He would look like a fool if he tried…
That lil boy is not ugly.
Thu, March 19, 2009 1:57 PM
Christian looks just like diddy and that irks me a bit…maybe because diddy is an arrogant fool
The real housewives of new jersey? I'll pass, as a new yorker i tried to watch the real housewives of New York and those women were boring and silly IMO. Not once did i see a face of color, not even in the background. Tell me what New York that represents ? lol
That Forbes list pisses me off…miley cyrus? forreal. How many more scandals before people realize this little girl has no talent smh. However Keke's show is too cute
Thu, March 19, 2009 1:57 PM
Michelle is an awesome Role Model! I like the way she is reaching out to DC. Hopefully the young women here will take note and think that they are more than what's between their legs and up their game. B)
Thu, March 19, 2009 2:58 PM
It's for that reason Sherre Whitfield wasn;t asked to come back to the show. She was deemed too "normal" and drama free.
She was trying to make the group get along and we all know that's not how black woman are betrayed in the media.
Thu, March 19, 2009 4:49 PM
That's Deshawn (sp?) Snow honey not Sheree Whitfied. Sheree is broke, whack and I still don't understand why she is on the show.
But I see what you are saying and I completely agree. That really bothered me that they purposefully left her off the show because she was drama free. I don't think I will be watching for that very reason.
Thu, March 19, 2009 5:45 PM
Get ready for a bunch of gum smacking, Aqua Net , cigarette smoke, and hearing the "f" word every five minutes. I am so over this housewife crap!
Thu, March 19, 2009 6:09 PM
Hold on now, is Christian and Justin the same person?
Thu, March 19, 2009 6:19 PM
I'm so happy that Michelle is doing that because some parents dont' teach their kids that they can be anything they want to.
Thu, March 19, 2009 6:30 PM
No, Christian is younger son by Kim Porter. Justin is his first Son by his ex-girlfriend, Sherri. She broke up with him around the time Biggie was murdered ( if I am not mistaken) and when all those people were injured at one of Puffy's concert in New York about 15 years ago. I remember so well because he did an article in Ebony about the whole situation. Justin is about 17 years old.
Thu, March 19, 2009 9:29 PM
Okay sorry but somebody has to clear this all up. Justin is diddy older son but he is only about 12 or 13 now. he is the son of diddy and Misa ( MaryJ stylist) he also has Quincy (adopted son) who is around 18 and Christian (photo above) the youngest and both of them belong to Kim.
Thu, March 19, 2009 10:10 PM
Ceci is correct. Justin is 13 and is his son with Misa. Christian is his son with Kim. Quincy is Kim's son with Al B. Sure, but Diddy has been moreso the father figure.
Thu, March 19, 2009 10:12 PM
I know, she is looking a little "grown" in that pic. Maybe I just don't want her to grow up. She's stunning.
Thu, March 19, 2009 10:13 PM
Thanks, I do not why I called her sherri. I looked up Justin's B-day and he just turned 15 years old on December.
Fri, March 20, 2009 2:23 AM
O BOI, I WAS ALMOST FIRED TODAY BECAUSE I WAS SCRATCHING MY BOOTY WHILE MAKING A DBL, DBL CHEESEBURGER COMBO MEAL WITH A CHOCOLATE SHAKE.
