PICS: 4th Annual Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards Luncheon
Singers Brandy, Jennifer Hudson, Jill Scott and actresses Jennifer Lewis, Vannessa Bell Callaway, Tia Mowry and Gabrielle Union were among the many lovely celebrities gracing the red carpet at The 4th Annual Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards Luncheon yesterday at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. They all looked beautiful!
Jennifer Hudson attended the luncheon with her adorable son Punk Jr.
Rev. Run’s daughter Angela Simmons is getting thick and juicy
I hear that actress and socialite Lauren London is turning down movie roles left and right. Who needs to work when you have an ex-convict baby daddy that’s a baller?

LOL @ Punk Jr. He’s adorable in his lil suit.
Everyone looks fab, especially glowing mommy-to-be, Tia “girl Melanie” Mowry.
why is Gabrielle Union invited to these events again? can’t be for her acting skills..
punk jr really?…. lol /j hud!
I think everyone looks good, except not sure if Lauren’s shorts are appropriate. Cute? Yes. Appropriate? No.
Hand me a spoon. That baby looks too sweet. Such a cutie!
Everyone looks nice!!
That tat makes Brandi’s foot looks dirty. And dem damn fake azz looking eyebrows…lawd help this child. At least they set the lacefront back a few inches, it looks almost normal. Everybody else looks stunning, especially Gabrielle and Angela.
JHud & PJ – too cute
Brandy – beautiful
Gabby – ditto
Tia – glowing
Serena – Nice!

Angela Bassett is a bad bish. I loves her…
However Angela Simmons looks preggers and those shoes and that purse
Brandy looks good but those tatts are soo ugly too me…
And the rest…I gots nothing.
jhud’s mouth area looks weird
all in all tho i look most look nice.

What was so funny that BOTH of the Jennifer’s had their mouths wide open???
Does Brandy smoke? She has “smoker’s eyes”
I love Jennifer lace front. It looks good
Lauren London Just doesn’t look the same to me now that I know she did the deed with the “tatted-up” critter!
Gabby looks Stunning!!!! I love her in “Deliever us from Eva”!!
Too Hot ma..
Jennifer and her baby boy are just too sweet together!
Lauren and them red shorts
Angela does not like to smile does she…
Everyone else looked good too..
It is so good to see Serena up and about with no cast or brace
I see Serena’s not putting any weight on that foot..lol Everyone looks great!
everyone looks nice
Bleh everyone looks nice – Lauren look like she shop on Jean Nichole <—-THROW WAY BACK
shop at Jean Nichole – real regular looking
Awwwww Punk Jr. is too cute! Angela, in my opinion is trying too hard. Her dress makes her look 10 pound heavier.

Nicole Ari Parker- what’s goin on under them arms?
Brand- you still look funny IMO
Lauren-dressed for the wrong event?
Tia- you are glowing awwww
I can’t look at Lauren London the same. Lil Wayne, Really?
They all look really good!
Why would Lauren turn down gigs? Are you gonna live off Wayne and ATL for the rest of your life?
What’s smoker eyes?
Is that OHoney?!
Have you bagged that fine azz boss of yours yet?
(whispers)
I won’t tell nobody.
Nice pics…
@MsToot
I answered your Gravi question in the KeyCo post. Good luck.
Do we know the reason why Boris is with Nicole and her long face? Clearly this says this was a BLACK WOMEN IN HOLLYWOOD LUNCHEON…NOT a black guy from Germany can come too.
If other SO’s and husband’s were there okay. But I don’t see any?
Hey OHONEY
Everyone looks Great!
(pours some Dr. Pepper in Phro’s mug)
It’s Friday, you got a job and chit to do but who gives a fluck about that.
Everyone looks nice. Lauren could have came better but still cute not sure for this type of event but ok.
i like gabby’s look
if my bf saw this pic of jen he would totally bust one on sight cuz he is diggin her right now ***roll eyes extremely hard***
i started to go down the list but its too many other ppl but boris and nicole are so blah to me
@Yso
Nah, I’m home today….
@KWall Maybe in his mind he too is a “Black Woman in Hollywood”
Thanks YSO
LOVE TIA, SHE SHOULD HAVE NOT WORN THAT NECKLACE THOUGH..

The more you pretned to be a couple the less convincing you have to be in the futuer. Nicole seems clingy to me.
Maybe Lauren just wants to be there for her little one as much as she can. I know I would choose my kids over any movie role anyday..
Yso *whispers* no, he used a term of endearment the otha day, I almost fainted.
I’m keeping it professional though *disclaimer*
*side eye at my lawyer*
Hey Choco
Welcome Ms.Toot.
Why does JHud always have her mouth open?
Angela definitely looks prego!
@Phro
Wassamatta bro? Too much Dr. Pepper? Or not enough?
Nothing about Brandy does it for me. Never has, probably never will.
Everyone else looks great!
Haven’t seen Punk in a minute.
@Yso
Nah I’m good..
LL looks cute…but she should’ve wore something different.
I wonder why Ashanti was’nt there….
@ phro she was there waitin tables
*SIGHS* Angela

@Dymond She was the “help”
I looked at all these pics last night Essence website
Jill should have had her son on the red carpet he is uber cute to me
I don’t like Gabbys dress and Lauren could have spruced it up a tad to me
To bad we don’t see all these beautiful black women on TV/film much anymore
SR talked about gabby without using the words “industry bicycle”! i doubt very seriously that lauren would turn down movie roles just to sit at home and do…nothing. little punk is so cute but his momma know she wrong for all that hair; do people have no shame with weave?
Angela and Serena looking mighty herculean as usual, both look like they got the strength of 20 men
Angela B. looks fab! The rest of the ladies look nice as well.
You ain’t right.

*****************************************
their daughter sophie has a disability that pretty much requires round the clock care. after reading about their story, i doubt if these two will ever get divorced while she’s still young and unable to care for herself. she’s doing well though.
Was this for unemployed actresses and wanna be’s? Cause I ain’t seen nobody in these pics in a movie in a while; some ever!
Lord, Brandy :smdh: This chile need a whole heap of help
Lauren is just tarnished now that we know for an ab-so-lute fact that she let Lil Wayne beat
Angela almost made it if it weren’t for that extra stomached fabric she’s rocking in the front of that dress
chile, 
But Punk Jr is a cutie though….
@sandra, why do you insist on calling that lil man “Punk Jr”
you know you’re wrong for that.
Who needs to work when you have an ex-convict baby daddy that’s a baller?
__________________________________________________________________
Tiny could best answer this question. (Oh I forgot, he is not an ex-convict, he is a CONVICT.)
He may be her husband now but he was her babies daddy for quite awhile.
Everyone looks nice!!! That’s not Angela Bassett. That’s Vanessa Bell Calloway.
Jennifer’s dome is dangerously large. Brandy no (spankz her hand) She still has a long way 2 go. Lauren is cute, but I think her status plunged after her and Lil Shame. Has anyone seen their baby yet
JHUD: It does LOOK like U can put a lot of Stuff up there in her mouth . . . U know . . . I’m just Saying . . .
Everyone looks great! I really love Angela Simmons. She always looks so young and fresh! She is really turning into a fashionista!
