Many celebrities were spotted at the Barack Obama victory party at the Underground in Chicago last night.

Common (and his favorite bow tie) was the socialite of the event. He made his rounds with Star Jones, Toccara, and AJ (remember him from 106th & Park?). Did any of you attend any victory parties?

UPDATE: I guess my new response is that these tears are genuine, I was a little suspect, but I will give him the benefit of my doubt. After all, as revealed in the comments, he has seen a lot and been through a lot which helped this moment come true. Perhaps I’m biased because I got caught up in the campaign. So deep down inside, maybe he’s just happy for President Barack Obama, as well as his son, Jesse Jackson, Jr.
Question 1: Was Jesse Jackson tears genuine?
Now to move on from the negative. I feel like I’m the only one that notice the tears pooling in President Barack Obama’s eyes. It seems that every hug brought him one step closer to tears. It was a bittersweet moment knowing “Toot” wasn’t there to share it with him, I sensed a bit of sadness in his smile. This picture was taken while President Barack Obama was telling the crowd about the loss of his grandma, the night before his win.
Thank God, he has a strong beautiful black woman by his side. Michelle Obama loves him so much, the camera can’t even disguise it. Here is one moment that really captures the bond they share.
Next is our new First Family. I don’t think it could get anymore picture perfect than this. We are all realist, but we can dream, too. We know their will be lots of challenges ahead, but for this moment we are all “PROUD”. If you don’t feel it, then maybe you have been part of the problem all these years. To America’s Future…
Every since 9/11, I have had such a love for this country. That day reminded us all that we’re Americans first. After Election Night 2008, the words of the National Anthem carries on more meaning than before. “Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave, O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!”
People are inspired all across this country, if you have a dream, now just may be the time to try. It’s time to tell your children think big. No, we all won’t make it, but you have a better chance if you try.
So I leave with tears. Whatever the reason last night, many people had a good cry. Oprah cried until her fake eyelashes fell off. I cried because my mother missed it, and I cried because my son lives it.

Gina Torres (Lawrence Fishburne’s wife) and Mya Wilkes Golden Brooks (Girlfriends) were both spotted front row at the Suh-Tahn Spring 09′ fashion show during the LA leg of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.
Later in the day, Gina attended the Kevan Hall show and was joined by Tia Mowry, Garcelle Beauvais, and Stacy Arnell.
On Monday, Golden sat next to Diana Ross’s daughter, Chudney Ross, during the Julia Clancey show.
I tip my hat to Golden, because this is the best i have seen her look. Don’t believe me? Flashback to Golden at a Chanel event this time last year.

If you haven’t checked out Black Celebrity Kids before, please do so, it’s an incredible blog with family pictures of all your favorite stars. This week Black Celebrity Kids posted scans of the new Essence featuring the Obama family. What a beautiful family, I think I’ve seen them in a picture frame once…

I agree with celebrities, but only sometimes, people can be really cruel. I’ve been reading comments about Jennifer Lopez in her bikini after having twins…not one, but two children, and the fact that she can wear a bikini is impressive to me. I think we are so use to our celebrities bouncing back, that people forget that having a baby isn’t easy on the body, and it takes a little time to snap back, and that’s if it can. So, I love Jennifer Lopez’s post baby body. I think it’s great that she has the courage to rock bikini after having twins. So stop the madness…
My favorite Hollywood couple was seen having some QT during lunch in Los Angeles. I’m not sure how much they got with the paparazzi circling around, but I’m for one am happy to see pics of the beautiful couple. Checkout YBF for more exclusives pics of the couple. And move over Meagan Good, Nicole can rock them short shorts, too…
According to Celebrity Baby Blog, Eddie Murphy’s ex-wife, Nicole Murphy, met with ex-girlfriend, Melanie Brown, and introduced sisters Bella Zahra Murphy (5) and Angel Iris Murphy. Nicole gets to hold and see the baby before Eddie.
