I wish she'd wear that mask now, and stop the damn smoking.

The Luther Burger? Isn't that the hamburger Grandpa created on the episode of the Boondocks when he created a soul food restaurant? I think the episode was called "The Itus" I remember he fed Riley that burger and the child had some kinda coniption fit and passed out from a sugar and grease overdose...then his bad lil ass woke up foaming at the mouth begging for some more

A Luther Burger is a bacon cheeseburger, which employs a glazed doughnut in place of each bun. According to urban legend, the Luther Burger was invented at Mulligan's bar in the Oakhurst, neighborhood of Decatur, Georgia, one day when the cook ran out of hamburger buns and decided to use two donuts instead. Its creator named the sandwich after the late Luther Vandross, who used to make the sandwich regularly as a meal.

You're right in the reference in "The Boondocks," which apparently was inspired by the actual Luther burger.

I often wondered back then how old she was. she always did have a thing about her that made her seem older than her age. never would have thought of her as a smoker. I hope someone was messing with photoshop to make her look like she is sixty. there is now way you look that old at 43. no way in hell. not even close to fifty. I am not that far from that age at all and I hope that doesn't happen to me when I turn 43. sorry about the illness though.

I wish I could have seen that special that came on a while back that showed the whole cast. how they look today and all.

Then forgive me for my last statement.

I'm digging your glasses. I've been needing a new pair.

You look good too, though. Better than Jasmine.

Xagain said:

Thanks yo! That is much better than the comments I get in real life.

Cinnie said:

Eh. You just live around alot of dumb people.
I like your MySpace page,too. Thank you for not setting it to "Private." Nothing pisses me off more.

YUUUUUCCCK!!!!!

I looooove Jasmine and have done for years. A different world is my fave show of all time and she was perfect as whitley.
She was beautiful in it. I am 31 and look not too bad with make up but without it im a mess so i dont think she dererves all the criiticisn about her looks. a dab of concealer and mascara and i bet she would look as great as ever. Guys dont understand the power of just even a little dab of the right make up. it can make all the difference in the world.

carax said:

Yes "A Different World" is always will be my shit!!! I can watch that show now (even though i've seen all the episodes from all 6 seasons) and can still die laughing (minus season one with that boring Lisa Bonet).

But yeah, she's aged, and she doesn't have on any make up in the picture. That's it. I don't know what people are grifling about with her for, when we know for a fact that Shitney with no makeup on looks like 70 year old hag.

Shucks i'd rather see Jasmine like this naturally, rather than fake and phony looking with plastic surgery done. (cough, Vivica A. Fox, cough). And who knows what Star Jones will look like in 5 years even....after that plastic surgery she looked 20 years older!!!

Damn. My mom look WAY younger than her and she is 52

RipHer2Shreds said:

EXACTLY!!

missfee said:

Hell yea! I can't stand to watch the first season....soooo boring with Lisa! Jasmine (Whitley) MADE that show! It doesn't start to pick up until around the 3rd season & it fell off (IMO)....when Dwayne and Whitley got robbed and all she wore was that same ole pink blouse & black pants. Dwayne & Whitley fit sooo well together...I was crushed when he cheated & she called off the engagement!

Patti was the shit as Dwayne's mom!! Chipmunk!! And Diahann Carroll...I still crack up laughing at them cutting up over the wedding plans! Patti's character was about to get in that ass!

ThePunisher said:

Well, she did play Halle Berry's mother in Queen..

RipHer2Shreds said:

I have pictures of myself where I look much older than that actually. And I'm about 11 years younger than her.


I will not post them here though.

minneapolisgenius said:

Ripher U my boy and u know what look like

Scorpion said:

I remember that. Patti played a good role in that show.

Scorpion said:

hell yeah that episode bugged me out when he went out with that other chick, and then tried to blame her. I didn't blame her, I thought it was classic how she left his broke ass then ended up with the senator...well temporarily. It was the sweetest revenge....!!!!

I think it's a little of both - as someone said earlier it's an unfortunate pic of her. However, she does seem a little weathered to just be in her 40's. Kinda sad, she'll be totally done by 60 At least her forehead isn't wrinkly yet

You are so funny... even when you're probably not trying to be!

DAAAAANNNNNMMMMM!!!!

What the HELL hapnd to my girl!

Oh well...guess I gotta dig out my copy of Harlem Knights and let that do it for me!

Thanks for the update.

Hollywood is clever about denying and disguising the fact that people age.

She's still pretty; she just looks older... And, if she's been sick, too ... well, that explains part of it.

Shucks. She's still Jasmine Guy.

I know what bi-racial is thank you, and most Afircanamerican families DO have someone that was white in their ancestral lineage, unfortunately, for most of us, we can only go back only up to two or three generations due to very little if any record keeping of the births and family line of our people.....

Even if she had a white mother like Halle Berry, she still looks REAL old for her age CONSIDERING her parentage.

Reread the first post I made on this thread.

So please don't try to jump on me and get all serious and personal, we are not in the P&R forum, I was just having fun. Trust me, I've opted to ignore some very condescending and ignorant assumptions made about me,(I know people don't know who I am), but do not confuse my grace for stupidity, just cause someone makes a joke doesn't mean that they don't understand or aren't black OK. Consider that in your calculation next time before you post something stupid...oh and yeah,...please pull that bug out your narrow ass too.

I've learned that certain illnesses can have a drastic effect on skin elasticity,(for example cancer, the skin becomes prone to dryness, cracking and can easily become infected esp. during chemotherapy) sorry to hear she's been sick, I hope she's overcome any illness and doesn't have to deal with something chronic..... glad to know some celebrities can still have privacy during hard times.

RipHer2Shreds said:

For real. . .(altho I'm not gonna call ya'll names). Why people expect people to look like they did 20 years ago is ridiculous. We are SO age obsessed.

RipHer2Shreds said:

you are so right and dying laughing at ^ see soem folks forget they come to Prince concerts and I sure don't see where the majority belongs on a red carpet AT ALL
