The Black Ball+A Beyonce Frenzy and Her New Lesbian Role?

Iman and Alicia Keys hosted The Black Ball for the "Keep A Child Alive" benefit last night. It went down at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC:

Simply stunning.

But as for Ms. Keys--

Now y'all know I love me some Alicia--but she looses major points for showing up to her own BALL in some damn jeans. Didn't she do the same thing a couple years back? Boo.

Gayle made an appearance in a very bright way.

Russey looked like he had some words for Stankmora on the red carpet.

Whoa Wanda Sykes. Stay away from the electrical sockets mama.

Dame and Rachel looked cute at the event.

It looks like Russell and Kiki made up by the end of the night......for the cameras.

Beyonce has been everywhere these last couple of days. She hit up TRL yesterday to promote her "Irreplaceable" single. She better be careful she doesn't release the whole cd as singles. There's only a whopping 10 songs on that joint. SHe looked cute arriving to the TRL studios:

But then I saw the whole outfit:

This is not the middle of July. Yes, I have a thing for dressing for the season and no, I don't give a damn who doesn't agree. And she really could have done better with those capris.

Here's pics from her performance:

Very cute.

Here's the acustic version of "Irreplaceable" that she did yesterday. Nice.

And Common also hit up the show yesterday:

Niiiice.

Later on last night, B hit up her spoogey Jay's 1 year anniversary party at the 40/40 club in Atlantic City:

Loves the dress.

Too fabulous.

It's all about the Ace of Spades (Armand de Brignac) liquor these days for Jay. Bump Cristal.

Now y'all know my girl can't handle her liqour:

See.

I put 5 on it that I have a good idea what they were whispering about. Damn that liquor...


Congrats to Jay on this smart business move.

And a few days ago, Beyonce and Solo shot new promo ads for House of Doitwrong:

Oh no ma'am. Slaps all around for every person who worked on this here HOD jean top.

And 2 slaps for the folks who conceived the idea of matching shorts.

Like B said: I'm not feelin it...I'm not feelin it.

The Randomness:

1. Speaking of Beyonce, word is she will be playing the role of Eva Longoria's lesbian lover in a new Sofia Coppola movie. The movie is called Tipping the Velvet and is a movie version of the BBC controversial tv show. Things just got a little more interesting....Story {Thanks Errol}
2. Cuz this is THRILLLERRRR. Story
3. I knew it was only a matter of time for Shar to come to K-Fed's defense. Tisk tisk Shar. I guess she had a memory lapse of the thousands owed in child support to her.
4. Y&R Update: This whole "Who killed Carmen Hoesta" plot is some Clue type ish if I've ever seen it. I'm calling it now: It was BRAD with the METAL BAR outside CARMEN'S APT. Or my backup pick: MR. KIM in the NEWMAN TOWERS GARAGE with the METAL BAR. And does anybody else think Lauren is going through some post-partum depression? She's is wildin' out extra hard over this return of Sheila nonsense. I wish Sheila's crazy ass would come back....

Stay fabulous!
