Michael Jackson “This Is It” LA Premier; 22nd Annual Thurgood Marshall College Fund Dinner

MrsGrapevine — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 13:28:30 +0000

Last night the stars in Los Angeles attended the Premier of Michael Jackson, This Is It. Jennifer Lopez hit the red carpet looking like Jenny from the block. You could not tell her she didn’t look fierce. Others in attendance included, Nia Long, Will Smith, Barry Gordy, and Tyrese Gibson with his beautiful daughter (picture below).

And on the other coast, celebs hit the 22nd Annual Thurgood Marshall College Fund Anniversary Dinner at Sheraton in NYC. Mary J Blige has been hitting the red carpet hard this month, appearing at many of the charity events. If someone would have told me in the beginning of Mary’s career that she would grow into a philanthropic social elite, I would have said Mary Who? Monica, Mary J, Fantasia, Lynn Whitfield, Jasmine, and Cornell West also attended. Jasmine Guy reminds me of Devante in that H-Town/Jodeci video. She has been through a lot of stress since her divorce.

Mary J. Blige Center For Women in Yonkers Opens

MrsGrapevine — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 16:09:32 +0000

Mary J Blige is a true hero, in my opinion. We have seen her at her lowest of lows, only to change her life around with the help of God and her husband, Kendu Isaacs. Mrs. Mary J has become the best role model for any young woman growing up in the hood, and proof that if you love yourself you can overcome anything.

Here is a picture of Mary J Blige at the ribbon cutting ceremony opening the doors to her new Mary J Blige Center for Women. Gucci co-sponsored the event. The new women’s center is designed to aid women in bouncing back from traumatic experiences. The center will focus on creating goals through career development, personal growth programs, and scholarships. Amen!

Keep A Child Alive Ball: Halle Berry, Kerry Washington, Alicia Keys, Usher

Are we sure Halle Berry is in her 40’s? I just don’t think it’s fair that some people get great genes like Halle Berry. This woman almost seems ageless. Back to the subject, Halle Berry attends the Keep A Child Alive Ball in New York City. Usher, Kerry Washington, and Alicia Keys were amongst many of the celebs that turned out…

Christina Milian shows off her 4-month old baby bump. Many people are saying that she is further along, but in her defense she’s petite, and some petite women pop-out faster. Christina Milian also says that the pregnancy was planned. I’m thinking maybe she planned it, and The Dream, not so much. Christina definitely has that glow…

I can’t wait to see Good Hair, and I feel like I’ve been waiting for years just to see this docu-comedy by Chris Rock. Last Night, Amber Rose & Ashanti hit the red carpet of the screening of “Good Hair” in NYC. I’m not sure if I’m feeling Amber’s outfit, but it’s nice to see someone rocking an “alternative” hairstyle to the screening. It’s ironic that most of the people at the Good Hair premier wore weaves…

The voluptuous Mariah Carey hit the red carpet of the premier of Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but this outfit looks nice on Mariah and it fits her curves well.

Kerry Washington is always beautiful and classy. It goes to show sexy is not how much you show, but how you work the outfit. I don’t have anything against showing a little skin, but sometime less is more, and it works better…

Last, but not least, Beyonce and Michelle Williams were spotted at the 4th Annual Billboard Women in Music Awards. I won’t to be positive, but Michelle who has always been thin, is looking extra skinny lately. I hope everything is alright. Michelle is in need of a Destiny’s Child reunion, where thickness is embraced.

Jay Z & Beyonce Attend Conference In Madison Square Garden

Cotten Kandi — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 14:33:20 +0000

Jay Z and Beyonce were spotted at a press conference for the “Answer The Call” charity concert at Madison Square Garden yesterday August 31, 2009 in New York City.

Jay Z and Warner Music Group Executive Vice President Kevin Liles discussed how the release of Jay Z’s album The Blueprint 3 and concert, both being released and held on September 11th will benefit the New York Police and Fire Widows’ and Children’s Benefit Fund.

Definitely a good look for Jay. He’s has grown so much as a business man and are looking for ways to help better his community and helping others.

I wish more musicians can take their platform and give back in ways beneficial to everyone not only themselves.

Yesterday Ciara was spotted giving back to children in need when she participated in the Staples Do Something 101 National School Supply Drive in New York City. Do Something’s mission with the drive is to provide school supplies for those less fortunate and living in poverty.

Not only did she give back but she did it in style. This wig/hair piece is really growing on me. Guess I needed some time to get use to it.

11th Annual HollyRod Foundation DesignCare

The stars came out to support the HollyRod Foundation, celebrating it’s 11th Annual DesignCare, hosted by Rodney & Holly Robinson Peete. The DesignCare event benefits those affected by Parkinson’s and Autism:

We started the HollyRod Foundation years ago to help people with Parkinson’s disease – my dad had Parkinson’s and then about five years into the foundation, my son was diagnosed with autism… Much like Parkinson’s, autism is very expensive to treat so we started raising money for the quality of life for people suffering from both because of our personal experiences.

Juicy Tidbits: Victoria Beckham Tan Addiction; Christina Milan & The Dream; Beyonce Feeds

I would hate to stand next to Beyonce for any extended length of time. She is looks amazing, while doing simple charity work. In case you didn’t know: Beyonce Knowles has joined hands with Hamburger Helper and Feeding America (one of the nation’s largest food non-profit organization dedicated to ending hunger). There goal is provide over 3.5 million meals to local food banks to battle hunger in America.

We give Lil Kim a hard time with nick names like Kim Lee because she seems to be turning into a lighter looking Asian woman, and we did the same thing with Michael Jackson, but why is it alright for people to tan to the point of no recognition. I thought this was Thandie Newton with a tan, but it’s Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice).

SMH, when couples match! Christina Milan and her fiance The Dream, decided to color coordinate their outfits in “coral”, and confirm their engagement. All I can say is that this must be love, to wear a coral jacket to match your woman.

Golden Brooks Reveals Baby Bump For HIV/AIDS Cure

MrsGrapevine — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 03:33:48 +0000

Only because this is a great cause, I have nothing but praises for Golden Brooks. Sometimes us bloggers can be a little mean (yeah I said it), but when celebrities use their fame for good, then I feel it’s also our duty to support them. In this ad, Golden Brooks shows off her pregnant belly to help raise money for Until There’s A Cure, a non-profit organization dedicated to funding research to cure AIDS.

Just recently we learned that Golden Brooks was pregnant by actor boyfriend, D.B Woodside. Now, we can definitely check this rumor as CONFIRMED!

To help find a cure for AIDS, please visit Until There’s A Cure and purchase the bracelet.

Beyonce Teams Up With Hamburger Helper To Stop Hunger

Beyonce Knowles has joined hands with Hamburger Helper and Feeding America (one of the nation’s largest food non-profit organization dedicated to ending hunger). There goal is provide over 3.5 million meals to local food banks to battle hunger in America. Although I make fun of Hamburger Helper, this is amazing, especially in this economic climate, where some states’ unemployment rate is above 15%.

Check out pictures of Beyonce in her Betty Crocker top. Gotta Love Bey!
