The ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon is an annual event to honor African-American women, who through their work in Hollywood-both in front of the camera and behind-the-scenes-have helped to change and inspire positive images of Black women in television and film. While celebrities such as Paula Patton, Vivica Fox, Joy Bryant, Leila Ali and Serena Williams walked the red carpet, the crowd of 300 VIP guests enjoyed a champagne reception in the plush ballroom. The event, styled with a nod to old Hollywood dŽcor, borrowed heavily upon Truman Capote’s legendary black & white ball with special ruby accents and Swarovski crystals to commemorate the 40th Anniversary. Grammy Award winning rapper Common opened the program with spoken word tribute to black women while the duo Mary Mary performed “Can’t Give Up” as a special tribute to …
What she said about “accessing something beyond this material world” does not surprise me because when you’re an actor or an actress, that’s exactly what you’re doing. How is could you “act”?
I think it’s the filler in her cheeks that is distracting me.
I can’t get pass the fact that since she’s aged she looks like a cat or something.
@sheteak
??? im pretty sure she wasnt refering to satan… theres alot of other things that are “not of this material world”
how is this ‘spirituality’ in any way?
Jada is so cool.
‘access something beyond this material’..yeah, Satan:/ It’s no wonder her group is called Wicked Wisdom
such a beautiful woman inside and out.
What a beautiful woman!!! She is amazing…Will is lucky
@josepatts Ha, ha, ha…you didn’t know that about Will and Jada? Where have you been (LOL)? There’s also a rumour that they’re swingers.
Now the Quincy Jones thing IS news to me-I hadn’t heard that one…
Wow, that thing she did with her tongue and how she looked at the camera while she was talking about the other actresses and etc. she grew up with was um……
Wow also notice that, that was the only time she looked at the camera too……
I wonder how a woman like that gets into a BS racist relion of Scienctology.
@DirtyFaceCapon3 no, shes 40 and this happens when you stay skinny when you age. black women don;t age as fast as whites.
@josepatts Jada has always flipped yet she would have stayed straight for PAC because she was CRAZY in love with him Her 1st LOVE,LOVER, AND HER AIR IN THE WORDS ONLY SHE(JADA) WOULD SAY…
She speaks for me i luv her
@absalom0412 I JUST FOUND OUT LAST WEEK THAT THOSE 2 FOOLS ARE GAY.WILL SMITH SUCK DICKS AND JADA EAT PUSSY..LOOK LIKE EVERYONE KNEW ECEPT ME.I WAS SHOCKED TOO FIND OUT THOSE CLOWNS AND A LOT MORE OF THEM ARE GAY.I DIDNT NO Q JONES WAS A FAGG.
@MissPsweetheat12
No, I know too. Her and Will admitted they have an “open” relationship (translation: she deals with women on the side and will deals with men on the side). Hell will bent over for Quincy Jones to get his own show, something you’re required to do in hollyweird if u want fame and fortune. Signing off.
@absalom0412 Hahaha it does seem that way but only GOD KNOWS!
@MissPsweetheat12
Please, she’s a devil worshipper and a lesbian.
“access something beyond this material world”…nice <3
she’s so beautiful and I say this because of what she stands for more than her actual appearance.
she is so pretty
Look like she had her cheek bones done
I hope she a christian
I hate that she lost all that weight. Women, as soon as they hit Hollywood think they have to be skinny. It’s not a good look for black women.
