Big Night For the NAACP Image Awards
Big Night For the NAACP Image Awards
For a host of Hollywood royalty, Valentine’s Day meant going to the 39th Annual NAACP Image Awards. And there were plenty of beautiful people at Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium last night.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People brought out the stars, including actors and musicians. And everyone looked fabulous.
Janet Jackson wore an all-black dress with a train and an oversized gold belt buckle that beckoned the spirit of her “Rhythm Nation” days.
American Idol star Jordin Sparks looked ravishing in a strapless brown evening gown. She even won the Outstanding New Artist award.
Other notable attendees included Megan Good, Vanessa Williams, Megan Good, and Kate Walsh.
NAACP Images Awards executive producer Vicangelo Bulluck told press, “It’s a multicultural show from an African-American point of view. It’s definitely representative of the community, but it’s inclusive because most of the projects that get nominated and voted on speak to something in the human condition.”

Rihanna Goes Shopping
Rihanna Goes Shopping
What do you do when you’re sitting around the house, bored out of your mind? Go shopping, of course! Rihanna even took a furry friend with her on her Wednesday afternoon stroll through Stella McCartney.
The “Umbrella” singer kept it casual, with a white tank top and a pulled-back ‘do, giving her oversized gold hoop earrings plenty of room to shine. And her “furry friend” makes quite the cute accessory as well.
And with such a whirlwind year, Rihanna has had plenty of things to be thankful for. In a recent interview, she talked about her success.
Q: It’s been a successful few years for you, in fact. Is this what you’ve always wanted to do and a dream come true?
A: Definitely. I’ve always dreamed of becoming a singer and entertainer and now I’m fulfilling my dream. So, yes.
Q: And does it meet your expectations?
A: I didn’t really know what to expect. I was in Barbados so I was far away from seeing what this could be like. All I knew is that I love to sing and wanted to do this. Now I’m able to stick with it and put up with all the hard work because I love what I do so much.
