Celebs turned out for GQ’s Men Of The Year party last night at Chateau Marmont in L.A.:
2 of the “Men of the Year” Drake and Wale were there to celebrate. Whaaaat? Drizzy in a suit? Looking quite dapper there sir…
And where there’s menses, there’s Gabby Union. She hit the black carpet before the event as well.
More pics when you read the rest…
Gabrielle looked cute in her usual LBD last night. This time pairing it with some kitten heels. Oh hey Visitor Anna. Have y’all seen that show V yet? Anna is fierce.
Drake brought his labelmate Nicki Minaj to the party.
Kobe Bryant and Morgan Freeman chatted it up inside the party.
Zoe Saldana looked chic in her black and white dress and camel colored leather cropped jacket.
And Kobe and Wale had some fun. Fab times.

….he looks soooo good…
Thu, November 19, 2009 8:28 AM
Everyone looks so nice. Hey Wale! N.E. DC Loves you! Do yo thing boi!!!!!!
Thu, November 19, 2009 8:28 AM
ummm ummm ummm Drake
Thu, November 19, 2009 8:29 AM
Drake, I mean…everybody else looks nice too
Thu, November 19, 2009 8:30 AM
oh gabby…looking cute but she too old for those parties.
Thu, November 19, 2009 8:31 AM
where’s kid cudi :(
Thu, November 19, 2009 8:32 AM
And just where did Zoe find Marty McFly?
Thu, November 19, 2009 8:34 AM
Y’all know Gabby wasnt missing a chance to be seen…LOL
Thu, November 19, 2009 8:35 AM
Morgan Freeman and those damn earrings….Ugh!!!!!
Thu, November 19, 2009 8:37 AM
wow Kobe your tall, hot and have a great smile-please can someone hook me up with his clone or twin bro!
Thu, November 19, 2009 8:39 AM
Gabby, Sanaa and Nia…get jobs and keep them. I am so tired of seeing you on somebody’s “carpet” when half the damn time you don’t have a job. Watch the nasty/demanding attitudes and you may stay employed(yes, Nia I am talking to you), you know you do not have it like that.
I would rather see you on TV or the big screen, not every black blog posted up grinning like you are making major moves. SMDH.
Thu, November 19, 2009 8:40 AM
why the hell is Wale GQ Man of the year?
Thu, November 19, 2009 8:41 AM
Wow , they all look so nice. :)
Thu, November 19, 2009 8:41 AM
O’m puttin kobe wife on babe watch… I can’t believe she missed this party
Thu, November 19, 2009 8:44 AM
Sooo much for Man of The Year: Wale only selling 20,000…! SMH…
Thu, November 19, 2009 8:44 AM
Everyone looks incredible for the exception of Wale.
Men who Insist on wearing hats everywhere convince me that they are:
1. Little boys who dont want to grow up
2. have a receeding hairline they are trying to cover up.
way to represent the DMV, home of many black professionals and gentlemen
Thu, November 19, 2009 8:45 AM
Oh yeah…DAMNNNNNNNNNN Drizzy! ;-)
Thu, November 19, 2009 8:48 AM
I like the way Kobe is shaking Morgan Freeman’s hand. In other culture, it is a sign of respect for elders… Nice to see that.
Thu, November 19, 2009 8:50 AM
I hate when dudes want to take a picture but then they are too cool to smile so then they tilt their head back and kinda open their mouth..I HATE THAT! Example: Wale’s pics!!! Ugh….
Thu, November 19, 2009 8:54 AM
Kobe looks very handsome in these pics..
Thu, November 19, 2009 8:54 AM
Dear NickiMinaj:
please dont show up to a GQ event with a pink weave and a BARBIE chain!!! Not Cute at all!!!
Thu, November 19, 2009 8:54 AM
Just a thought…BUT DRAKE AND NIKKI????
Thu, November 19, 2009 8:54 AM
Just a thought…BUT DRAKE AND NIKKI????
Thu, November 19, 2009 8:56 AM
love the site… but you might want to change the word menses, b/c it refers something completely different than the way u meant it. :0)
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:00 AM
can “Gabby Union” get a fcuking job.
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:06 AM
Wale and Drake are not ‘GQ’ …
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:12 AM
@ gottasayit idk about Gabby but Sanaa & Nia are very much employed, their both voice overs for The Cleveland Show!
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:12 AM
Where’s Kid Cudi?? Wasn’t he a part of the Man of the Year award too??
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:12 AM
I’m sure Kobe is a fcuking douche bag, but I can’t get over the crush I’ve had on him since ‘96….lol
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:14 AM
If Nicki don’t get a new wig… come on man!
Damn, Wale couldn’t put on a suit…and who the hell.. GQ man? DRAKE? NO buddy.
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:14 AM
What in the “crispy fried chicken” is wrong with WALE?
what the ( )
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:14 AM
Oh, and I’ve cried myself a river because Kobe’s rookie card that I owned was destroyed in a flood due to my former neighbor’s flood…..Damn, damn, damn James!!!!!
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:16 AM
Drake looked nice but Ninja looks like a nasty porn star
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:18 AM
Am from the DMV, and i like Wale and all, but what happened to wearing a suit of some slacks to say the least, he looked dirty for real. oh well congrats to them all.
side note: Drizzy Drake looks yum in that suit.
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:18 AM
Did D Wade and Gabby break up? Haven’t seen them out in a while….
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:18 AM
Nikki …u ain’t it everyone elso looks good especially Drake
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:20 AM
wow nicki minaj cleans up well… i wish she would dress more like this instead of lookin a hot ghetto mess like she usually does
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:23 AM
Thank you, I was looking like no this bitch is NOT wearing a big ghetto chain that says Barbie! The pink weave and chain are too much, very tacky. At least Drake looks good, very handsome…love to see a man in a suit.
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:27 AM
*LOL!*
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:28 AM
Ummm i wonder what morgan freeman and Kobe had to talk about…since they love cheating with white women…LOL
anyway why Nick Minaj…why….what were you trying to do with your lips…so not cute..
I can’t help but notice the guy who plays the teacher on “GLEE” thing in his pants…is he wearing any underwear or is he just happy to see gabby..hmmm
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:32 AM
Okay! I kinda cringed when I saw that word too!
I watch V and Anna is the business. Love her haircut. Loves the show!
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:33 AM
Yeah, Drake clearly knows how to go GQ. Wale should have hired a stylist, but his individualism is what got him the honor in the first place… So how can I tell him to take the hat off?
I think Drake taking Nicki is like the star football player dancing with a geek at the prom. It’s sweet of him and a good way to look out for his label mate. Nothing’s wrong with Nicki and I like her dress. (But I agree with the comments about the big-azz chain)
I can’t wait to see the type of chick Drake would boo up and walk the red carpet with.
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:34 AM
O & a don’t to the pouty lips & green fingernails…O dear…LOL again….
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:34 AM
lol. Agreed! I’m glad he left that walking accessory known as Vanessa at the crib. Gabby & Drake look good. Wale is doing Wale, can’t be mad.
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:35 AM
Drake looks nice in his suit but he’s still not cute to me.
Wale…no
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:37 AM
Drake looks amazing in a suit, never thought he was handsome before now…..Sorry but Nikki looks cheap! Is that dress from Forever 21?????
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:42 AM
Gabby may not stay employed for long…but this chick stays in heavy rotation. Which in my opinion is a good thing. Cause they are checking for her first. She just need to get with the right producers who can write a decent show.
At least she staying relevant.
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:49 AM
Yeah, teacher man is very happy to take his pic with Gabby.
Drake is very GQ and I love it!
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:50 AM
Yo, is it me or is Wale FUGLY omg..
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:50 AM
Love Anna’s haircut and Morgan Freeman. Kobe makes me nauseated. ICK!!!!! Boo!
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:53 AM
HHHEEEEYYYYYY. I wanted to ask that!!
Thu, November 19, 2009 10:00 AM
Why yall keep saying Gabby isn’t employed, I thought she was Dimitri’s gf on FlashForward
Thu, November 19, 2009 10:04 AM
Wale, put on a suit Dude! You’re one of GQ’s been of the year. GQ..come on.
Thu, November 19, 2009 10:11 AM
LMAO!!! I said the same exact thing!!!! Forever 21 has those in every color imaginable!!! SOOOO cheap and tacky!!!
Thu, November 19, 2009 10:18 AM
For a working actress, that is a gig not a real job.
Thu, November 19, 2009 10:19 AM
High-Light of this post…………………Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman :)
Thu, November 19, 2009 10:24 AM
That’s what I’m saying with the green nail polish. Cute dress though. I’m happy her butt and ass are covered up for the most part!
Thu, November 19, 2009 10:27 AM
Drake is a prime example of “The Suit Makes The Man”.
Thu, November 19, 2009 10:30 AM
Drake looks nice in his suit.
Thu, November 19, 2009 10:45 AM
WHY DID WALE FEEL HE DIDNT NEED TO WEAR A SUIT I MEAN DAMN ITS GQ…AND HE IS NOT LOOKING VERY GQ ESQUE TO ME!!!
Thu, November 19, 2009 11:00 AM
I’m not a fan at all, but I have to say that Gabrielle Union books a pilot just about every year (they just don’t get picked up) and she’s currently recurring (annoyingly) on Flash Forward as John Cho’s fiance.
I do wish Nia got more opportunities; I love her. And sooo glad that Regina King’s show Southland got picked up by TNT. That right there is a good-ass show!
Thu, November 19, 2009 11:04 AM
Kobe lookin fine as hell
Thu, November 19, 2009 11:11 AM
Gentlemens’ Quarters!!!!
Thu, November 19, 2009 11:16 AM
lmao wtf happened to Morgan Freeman? wowww.
And I see my boo Clint Eastwood (well I thought he was hot in his spagheti-western days) was in attendance! That’s what’s up.
Everyone else…and is it just me or is Drake always doing that pout thing with his lips in pictures?
Thu, November 19, 2009 11:16 AM
Even in a suit Drake does nothing for me…nada, ziltch! He favours Droopy, the cartoon dog
Thu, November 19, 2009 11:25 AM
Gaby Union is a regular on ABC’s Flash Forward. Great show btw.
Thu, November 19, 2009 11:25 AM
dc stand up big up wale ….
Thu, November 19, 2009 11:41 AM
Congrats Drake and Wale!
Thu, November 19, 2009 11:53 AM
Dear NickiMinaj:
please dont show up to a GQ event with a pink weave and a BARBIE chain!!! Not Cute at all!!!
I COULDN’T AGREE WITH THIS STATEMENT MORE. WHY DID DRAKE FEEL THE NEED TO BRING A GHETTO, CLASSLESS, PINK HAIR WEARING, BISEXUAL, BARBIE WANNABE TO A CLASSY, ELITE EVENT SUCH AS THIS? PLESAE DON’T TELL ME HE IS JUMPING ON THE KANYE WAGON OF WIFING UP BISEXUAL MONEY HUNGRY FREAKS! HIS SUIT LOOKS GOOD ON HIM THOUGH.
Thu, November 19, 2009 12:30 PM
Drake cleans up nice & Nicki…didn’t expect that. Hmm Wale you really could have put something on
Thu, November 19, 2009 12:49 PM
Well…at least Wale put on a tie…
Thu, November 19, 2009 12:58 PM
Damn… Drake is lookin’ hella fine with that suit on… FINE!
Thu, November 19, 2009 1:02 PM
OMG LOL!
Nicki still looks like a bird though. She shouldn’t have been wearing that ridiculous “Barbie’ pendant. She should have worn the necklace alone.
Also, those green nails and those hideous pink extensions… smh. I guess you can take a girl out of the hood but…
Thu, November 19, 2009 1:26 PM
Let me clue you in. She is working.
Thu, November 19, 2009 1:27 PM
Damn Drake looks good. oh my goodness. wow! I had to make another post cuz I am drooling over these photos of Drake. He cleans up good. ::swoon::
Nikki Minaj… a mess.
Thu, November 19, 2009 1:31 PM
Drake looks very nice!
Wale?…coulda just stayed at home if you ask me.
Gabby looks good.
Thu, November 19, 2009 1:35 PM
I don’t get the hype with this Nicki chick but whatever. I have yet to listen to a song of hers so I don’t know, just don’t see the hype though
Thu, November 19, 2009 2:44 PM
WALEEE!!! Boooy if you don’t keep that dusty azz out the Last Stop and the Up Against the Wall Imma ring your neck!!! Please represent the DMV better than that. You need to hire a stylist homie because that dusty, unkempt look is NOT the BUSINESS!!! Looking all dirty and shyt. Also can you please find another facial expression???? Thank -you
Nikki oh Nikki….the dress is okay but chillle that HAIR is atrocious!!! That chain????? Barbie??? Green nails?? Pursed lips?? No honey….please try again….NEXT!!!
Kobe and Drake look very nice :-)
LMAO @ Marty Mcfly…that was my movie back in the day.
Thu, November 19, 2009 3:20 PM
Hey kobe baby, always looking handsome.
Thu, November 19, 2009 4:28 PM
Kobey looks good! still don’t like him…
Wale could have dressed better..NW DC baby!!
Drake never thought he was cute & still don’t..even w/ the suit!
Congrats to all!!
Thu, November 19, 2009 6:42 PM
My fellow countrymen [Drake] is looking really sharp in his gray suit…
Thu, November 19, 2009 9:37 PM
kobe is fine, i dont respect him though
wale is yummy…i wish he would have dressed up but hecould get it. he’s sexy!
Thu, November 19, 2009 10:41 PM
DAMN NICK!!!
i been pullin for you!! but WHY oh WHY the F would u show up lookin like that??? i knew u were rough around the edges but damn… that barbie chain and that hair…. you could’ve pulled the dress off (although it does look very Charlotte Russe).. maybe. and i’d just HATE to see the shoes
NOTE TO NICK: if you’re ever in doubt about proper attire for a special event, just google for some pics from the last event. sometimes it’s OK to blend in… You’re very pretty so people will notice you anyway. that’s just how i do. u could’ve used a lil shen and slipped that pink track out just for this one night. your “BARBZ” would understand that there’s a time and a place for everything. you’re in the big leagues now. I’m counting on you to show “DEM PPL” that there is money and crossover appeal in a female who “raps”. don’t f**k it up for the rest of us. thanks.
kind regards….
you’re homegirl
Thu, November 19, 2009 10:45 PM
i wonder what drake said…
Fri, November 20, 2009 9:12 AM
First of all, I don’t think Nikki cares what the fuck you have to say about her because she’s still stacking her paper and what are you? NOTHING!!!!! Drake can dress the motherfucking way he wants to, you want to know why? HE’S NOT HERE ON EARTH TO IMPRESS YOU SO SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTHS. Thank you write back if you got something to say.
Fri, November 20, 2009 4:08 PM
to the comment above… @Teawalk07
it’s probably pointless to even reply, but i’ll do so to humor myself.
I HOPE Nicki cares
you are defending ppl who chose to live their lives in the limelight… therefore they knowingly subject themselves to criticisms of all kind. with that said, I in NO WAY support the bashing that ppl sometimes take too far… but Drake looks nice and Nicki does look a little suspect. I mean, let’s be real. Look at the company she’s in and how she showed up. I am all for being yourself but…. it’s ok to grow a little. it’s ok to ask for help if you’re uncertain.
And as far as the comment about ” Nikki stacking her paper so who are you?”… well just read it again and you tell me how childish and ignorant that sounds. *DONE*
It’s kind of naive to say that these ppl don’t care when their whole being as an artist is based on ppl liking them. Again, this does not mean that they should do anything based off of negative comments that outsiders make, but it would be flat out DUMB to not take heed to criticism in some way. In reality, like outside of our own heads, it can’t always be that everyone else is wrong. To be honest, I can totally see how my way of thinking doesn’t necessarily go with the “I’m gettin money… i don’t give a fuck… Bitch who you? attitude.
I want Drake and Nicki to succeed. It’s just obvious who’s been a bit polished and who’s been spit-shined.
Hopefully the next time I see her at an event she will be looking like what I know she has it in her to be… a Queen. I hope to gasp in awe INSTEAD of cringe in terror.
Holla at me Angel!!!

i feel like i’ve seen nicki’s dress before but it looks nice nonetheless (is something in her mouth?)
drake does look dapper…he looks much better with a little facial hair than the shadow he always rocks
kobe is not cute to me but he always cleans up nice and looks so handsome at formal events
