PRE-BET AWARDS: CELEBRITY BILLARDS BASH

With the 2008 BET Awards scheduled live for tomorrow, another star-studded celebration went down. This time the Celebrity Billiards bash included Angie Stone, two ANTM alums (Tocarra and Eva Marcille), a great "ATL" re-union (Lauren London, Jackie Long, Malika and Khadijah Haqq), Dwayne Wade, Keith Robinson, PCD's Melody Thornton, Lance Gross, Tichina Arnold and Tia Mowry. (-Sigh- That sentence took too long to complete, lol!)

You gotta love Eva's Gucci Indy bag and that handsome boyfriend of hers...

Angie Stone recently talked about being dark-skinned in the entertainment business:

“Well, you know it goes back to the very beginning. If you were light skinned you were in, if you were dark skinned you were out. It very well works that way in the industry. You see very [few] dark skinned people on top of the game. Most of the superstars are very fair or mullatto people. You can check your stats. It works that way in the film world too. I have lost almost every single opportunity to star in a film to Macy Gray or Jill Scott because they’re light and I’m dark. I’ve been told so many times that it’s a certain look that they’re looking for. So you can’t even use weight anymore. You can’t use age because everybody’s over 35 that’s running around doing it. It comes down to what is more appealing. I’m only good for the pro political stuff that will afford all of my people from the hood to vote for the right president - or to support whatever because I’m more on their level, so to speak. So to me it hasn’t changed much. Slavery has just taken on a whole new different direction but it’s the same process.” [quote spotted at brown sista via source]

Although Angie has a point, what about the careers of Oprah Winfrey, Whoopi Goldberg, Iman, Michelle Obama, Gabrielle Union, Kelly Rowland (lol!), Oluchi, Naomi Campbell, and countless other dark-skinned females in the entertainment field? You can speak on this topic via comments.

On Lauren London's feet were a pair of Report signature masonic t-strap platforms - the same $250.00 shoes Meagan Good and a Pussycat Doll member Ashley Roberts wore earlier.

Ashley Roberts first wore these studded shoes to a PCD-hosted event at PURE nightclub while Meagan Good had them on at the Spike Spike TV's 2nd Annual 'Guys Choice' Awards.
