Grown, Grown, Grown folks business...

Who: Iman and Jodi Watley
What: Annual FUNDRAISING GALA OF WAYUU Taya Foundation
When: May 10, 2007
Where: Soho Grand Hotel, NYC

I guess this is the part where I'm supposed to pay homage.





Ms. Jodi:





Man, what are you gonna say? It's tough out there. It really is-- with all the young girls, with their bodies and the hair and the stylists, etc. it's just tough. Personally I wouldda just stayed home if I were y'all. But I mean, that's just me...

And Alfre Woodard was spotted at the Los Angeles Premiere of the new film, "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee":

She actually can work it, though. But like I said, my first reaction wouldda just been to sit it out.

If it aint broke...

Who: Kim Kardashian and Mercedes Yvette
What: Bartles & Jaymes Poolside BBQ Hosted by Frank & Ed
When: May 10, 2007
Where: Roosevelt Hotel- Hollywood, California

Kimmie loves her dress. She wore the same one for another event that evening. Can't be mad at that. Fits well.





"Top Model" Mercedes Yvette was there looking the same way she probably looked in high school. Come on, sweetie, you gotta dress for the job you want, not the job you have.

She's making her rounds, though. Good for her. She gotta get on that grind.



Speaking of grind, look who's been getting her South Pole ad campaign on with Mario:

closer...



Yup. Miss Eugena from Top Model (last season, I think). Anyhoo, she's clearly spending her time in the gym and on photoshoots as opposed to at events every other night trying to get her face out there. Nicely played, Eugena. Mercedes, are you paying attention?

Eva the Pro

Who: Eva Mendes
What: "The Wendell Baker Story" Los Angeles Premiere
When: May 10, 2007
Where: Writers Guild Theater
Beverly Hills, California

I'm not a fan of Eva's actual face, but I like what she does with it. The whole look works well.










The no earrings was an interesting choice. I'm not sure about that.

Lyric Culture Sexy Party

Who: Amerie, Tracey Edmonds, Tatiana Ali and Kim Kardashian
What: Lyric Culture Hosts Launch Party & Runway Show
When: May 10, 2007
Where: Avalon
Hollywood, California

Amerie taught the ladies how (the fuck) to work the camera











She killed it.

Tracey Edmonds followed suit:









T-Ali, unfortunately needs to take some serious lessons. It's as though she can't even believe she got invited to a real event.











And Kimmie? Well, what's there to say? She knows a more about camera angles than anyone else. So check out the bad bitch in motion:

Benefit, Schmenifit...

Who: Ciara, Jennifer Hudson and Vanessa Manillo
What: The Candie's Foundation 4th Annual "Event to Prevent" Benefit
When: May 10, 2007
Where: Christie's, NYC

I love that celebs will use any excuse to go out and have a good time. I'm not clear what this event was "preventing", but it doesn't actually matter 'cause these chicas are working ith (that's right: ith) ouuut.

Ms. Ciara rocks the black and white checks in mini dress form:




Must...get...that...weave.



Ms. Hudson sticks to the black is slimming rule. The bow's a lil' tacky, though.





Vanillo pops in this little pink and white number

All around some pretty great choices. Not bad, ladies. No one looked like an idiot for a change. Bravo.
