Well, what did Ne-Yo see in THIS chick?


He's more suspect than Usher, anyway

co-sign and really though like i have said numerous times. why are people so worried about it, hes the one who married her. some of the people doing the talking shit are sitting at home lonely with no one. and if given the chance to have sex will take the 1st thing that comes along.

Yeesh!!!! She looks more manly than Usher's 'wife'!

I just expect famous brothas to have good-looking women on their arm, whether they're dark, medium or light-skinned.

bboy87 said:

come on now. Give the girl a break. She had a few kids so her tummy isn't going to look like a 19 year old virgin's tummy.
She's probably a nice person. Not feeling the outfit at all though.

co -sign..
usher is ugly,,, wtf..

I hated Tameka's statement. Over generalization. Usher was rumored to be with Naomi, as well as he was with Chilli for a long time. Both ladies are Tameka's complexion. Its not about race Tameka, you're just ugly.

Anyway, I could care less what he sees in her. Just congratulations on his marriage and upcoming newborn child!

I remember people on okayplayer.com raising the same stink about Angie Stone and D'Angelo back when "Voodoo" first came out. Now look at him. He probably wishes he could get Angie back.Occasionally some guys do shed their shallowness.Even if for a moment.

Uhh yeah she-looka-like-a-man!!!! Chicks for dicks...was this picture taken in Atlanta?

alwayslate said:

Well there you said it, she has squeezed out a few kids so why wear a trifiling outfit like that when you know your body isn't up to par??? That's just common sense, and obviously she ain't got it.

There, I fixed your quote for you.

uPtoWnNY said:

I almost fell out the seat laughing!!

missfee said:

it looks like her head is pasted on to the body in that pic. maybe it's photoshopped or something.

And even if it's not....you'd think they'd use some kind of photoshop or something to make her belly look better. They do that for lots of other people.

missfee said:

Just tellin' it like it is.

And you're right about folks not using common sense when it comes to dressing themselves. You see so many men & women wearing sh!t they shouldn't, especially during the summer. Your outfit should enhance you, not draw attention to your weak points. Got dayum, stop the madness!!!

JasmineFire said:

Just comes to show that she's (or he's) not just that important of a star to "airbrush".

missfee said:

In her defense, it doesn't look like she's finished dressing. It's like she's waiting for her skirt or something, because those aren't the type of leggings/stockings you wear solo. You can still see her panties.

Like Otten said earlier, those were for a lighting test - they're not actual photos meant to be seen by anyone. Nonetheless, I wouldn't have even let the photogs see me in that getup just b/c of the drawz & stomach, but that's just me.

CalhounSq said:

Me either.

I'm also having trouble w/ the degrees of "ugly" up in here. Is there any room for people to be just "okay"? I've never looked @ Angie Stone or Tameka & thought, "Damn, they're ugly!" I think Tameka is cute & Angie is okay. I dunno, it's kinda strange. Facially Tameka isn't far from that Amerie chick, but people go NUTS over Amerie when her face is really pretty average. Maybe they get it mixed up - her LEGS are amazing, her face is just alright...











Sometimes I can't help but think the skin color/mixed/"not just Black" thing comes into play whether or not folks want to admit it, b/c it's definitely in play throughout the world. Sometimes we're not so different, we just like to think we are.

Why is it worse to compare Usher to a monkey then to a rat? I think I'd prefer to look like a monkey then a rat considering monkies look far more human. I had no idea who curious George was but I just looked him up and Usher does have a resemblance to him. They've got the same head shape. No other black celebrity does so it's not because he's black.

Babies, babies, babies...! I've tried to explain that that pic is obviously a light test. At the beginning of shooting, the photographer and the assistant phtographer have to put the subject in the frame they're shooting with a little gizmo called a light meter, and start snapping away for a minute. They do this to check if they lighting they set up is complimentary to the subject's skin, and how the light measurements have to be adjusted if they didn't get it quite right. More often than not, once the subject's make-up is done, they get called over to do this very spur of the moment, and are quite often only half-dressed. No one cares, because we are used to seeing models half naked as they have to change in and out of clothes allll day long. The subject doesn't care, because 1. that' s what they do all day long , and 2. very often the crews ( editor, phtog, hr&mk-up, stylist, assistants ) are closely knit professionally, and the atmosphere is relaxed and easygoing somewhat like a family (albeit it a hypesensitive and dsyfunctional one)...

Truuuuust me, the fact that this frame got out was a complete mistake. I would bet a zillion bucks it was one of those "open the coat a little so we can see how loose we can have it without it looking too sloppy" kinda moment, it went all the way open for a few frames (who cares cause no one's going to see it anyway kinda reaction ensues, right???), and some asshole from the set was either too evil or too careless and this one (which would absolutely be edited out of the frames even given to Essence headquaters in the first place) made its way into cyberspace.
