You'ld have to search long and hard to find something as useless as that ridiculous cretin Paris Hilton.A cardboard cut-out of her could live her life for her and the only person that would even notive would be the person that she is currently sleeping with.

Paris Hilton has a very punchable face. She is one of the many overrated beauties that poisons my television everytime that hook-nosed winch appears. That ugly square man-jaw is makes me want to stab it with a pointy stiletto boot.

Brad and Angelina: You'd think she was going to give birth to God instead of a regular human newborn baby. The media kills me with how these two white people are going to bring such a "gorgeous" baby into this world. Like, huh? they never realized that good looking ppl give birth to mediocre-to-ugly looking kids all the time?

What's up with Mariah Carey in the commercials where they cast Black men with her sitting on their lap? The Black men salivate over her as if that's the last & best pu$$y they're ever going to get in life.

How 'bout The Black Eyed Peas going to South Africa, pretending to care so much about the native black masses, sporting nothing but white and biracial women on their sleeves, lol. Nothing could have been more hypocritical. Look what we've become.

Jennifer Aniston - yet another generic white woman who looks are waaaaay overated.

Halle Berry - I love Halle. She has a sweet personality, is a capable actress, and pretty girl, but her looks are also overated IMO.

Mos Def/ Dave Chapelle - Held in high esteem and known for their self-proclaimed supposed love of blackness that appears to not extend to their choices in women. Hypocritical opportunists. They are both a joke.

Dave Chapelle don't date women of color??

Agree about Halle Berry. She's just an attractive woman with no sex appeal. I think Gabrielle Union looks better.

No surprise that Oprah comes to my mind whe it comes to who's overrated. I don't think she's all she cracked up to be. She has surrounded herself with people who shield her from antagonism while crafting an image that puts their "meal ticket" in the best light, both physically and intellectually. Oprah, herself, is not outstanding, but she has become a "product" that stands out. But Paris Hilton takes the cake; she is the most shallow, inane celebrity out there. Brangelina doesn't seem overrated to me. These globetrotters merit all of the attention they get because they are a compelling twosome; they not only talk it, they walk it when it comes to their concern for humanity as evidenced by the tremendous amounts of money they contribute to good causes. They are also rebellious non-conformists and their romantic liaisan intrigues because it leaves so much to the imagination thanks to their public decorum.

You are all batting a thousand. You can name almost anybody who is a "celebrity" in the world today (as opposed to an actor, a singer, a musician, a writer, etc) and be right on the money.

Cynique - I definitely agree with you on Oprah. She buys her "friends" with expensive gifts, everyone around her is a sycophant and they all protect her from the reality of . . . herself. LOL!!!

Would Oprah and Gail King have remained together all these years if she didn't have all that money??? And what about Sted???

Brangelina - not fascinating. All I have to do is think of Angelina boinking Billy Bob and it's about enough to make me want to puke! The woman is trash. Pure and simple.

Well, mzuri, Billy Bob and Angelina are both academy award winning actors, and Angelina was a child of privilege, who grew up in the Beverly Hills community as the daughter of distinguished actor Jon Voight, so I kind of think of her as a free spirit, rather than trash.

I fail to see how the idea of Angelina making love to her husband Billy Bob Thornton makes her trash. Yeah, Brad Pitt succumbed to her charms and left his wife for her but they have been very discreet about their affair, and Jennifer is as much to blame for the split as Brad is. I don't think that in the year 2006, Angelina is any different from her contemporaries.

serenasailor is the only one who is right... i can't belive i just wrote that. oh rustang was on the money too.

dave chapelle is not...and the question didn't say a gatdamn thing about who someone was married to or dating.

oprah is the bizomb (sorry cynique)she must be doing something right, you don't make a billion bucks just being ordinary, good, or just ok.

brownbeauty123 comparing halle berry to gabriele union isn't even fair... halle berry is a 10 gabrielle is about an 8. wait that's just my opinion .. but seeing as how i'm a guy and your not ...unless your a lezzie, then your opinions worth less than mine so shut your trap.

brad pitt was in a shit load of good movies, angelina has some big un's which bounced around like crazy in tomb raider ... so she get's props for that.

halle berry. has about as much personality on screen as a piece of wood. not sexy. she comes across as being very frigid and cold. and she can't act to save her life. nicole kidman should have won the oscar for moligne rouge (i know i spelled the movie wrong). halle berry is SO- overrated. compare her acting to nicole kidman. halle is just not in her league

Doberman the simple fact that you gave Halle a 10--who is half white, and Gabrielle Union an 8 who is Black says a lot YOU. I bet those extra 2 points towards Halle is because she has a White Momma. You are the reason why I might just write off Black men as a whole. Fuck you.

I STILL think Halle Berry looks are overrated. She is very *safe* for Hollywood. And white women don't feel threatened by her at all, which is why they overly rave about her beauty. Then she's so often and bodly declared as the "most beautiful Black woman" in Hollywood/America--knowing good and well she's biracial, and her looks are idolized because she has European/Indian features.

Eva Longoria is now on my shit list. At every chance, she always gives this pity story about how ugly, and DARK she was as a child. In what world was she ever dark? And if she was as a child, what happened today? Did she magically become whiter??

There are hardly any brown to darkskin Black popstars.

All of them are lightskin--Ciara, Beyonce, Rihanna, Christina Millian, just to name a few. And they have blonde weaves.

And Black guys prefer them over darker unmixed Black women.

Tonya--

Thank you. I am so *sick* of her. She has been the icon of Black Beauty for too damn long. Let someone else replace her, someone NOT mixed, Blacker and more deserving.

I've seen her Revlon ads, I find her to be a horrible model on print. She looks like a cardboard mannequin. Absolutely no life in her eyes whatsoever.

Yeah well, I'm not convinced that if Halle had flawless jet black skin, men like Dobes would feel the same way. As it stands, when Halle is close 90 she still will look better than women Gabriele's age (and color). This means that it’ll be a 100 years before a black woman is allowed her throne. (Even more if she adopts that baby, oh my! *LOL*)

Why is it assumed that Halle Berry's image at Revlon is supposed to have something to do with her race? Why couldn't it be that she was chosen as a spokes person because she is a famous celebrity who has smooth skin, and a mouth that shows off lip stick well, things any woman would envy. It would be different if she was the face of a black cosmetic company's like Fashion Fair or Johnson's Products.

Yvette. I would describe Katie Couric as being an example of the old "iron fist in a velvet glove" adage. She was an incisive interviewer who did her homework, and usually asked the hard quesions but also had a compassionate side. She was game for new experiences, able to polk fun at herself and always spoke up on women's issues. As a TV host, I would give her a C+.

Wow, that's some serious Hatorade! BB123 I don't know what you look like but chances are you Dark like me.
I believe that the darker skin sistah's have to be Overdark to really be recognized i.e. http://www.journal.lv/blog/2005/09/22/black_models
but there are Black sistahs like Roshuma williams and Naomi Campbell (both older by the way and still holdin it down)



And I'd hate to think you another one of those sistah's who want to swear off Black men to get us back for the dumb sh*t we do. Honestly If you swear off the brotha's it's definitely your loss, I'm sure a good Chinaman will do you proper. It's probably better you hang in there, and when you find the brotha meant for you, Hold on and demand respect for the both of you. But until then we aint all that bad... But back to the original question...
Beyonce is crazy overrated!

I have to disagree with you on Ciara she is not light-skinned but very brown-skinned all of the other women are light-skinned.

But I have to agree with someone who said Eva Longoria. I am beginning to hate her so much. She is pretty, but that is just about it.

Brownbeauty....oh, you've seen those Eva Longoria interviews, too?

LOL...too funny! I'm considered light skinned and even I'm dark compared to her. Cute? No. Cultured and classy? Yes. I love classy, self-respecting people.

I like Sarah Jessica Parker because she seems so much more classy than most other celebrities.

But I agree with you all on those other people.

High fashion usually prefers African models or very darkskin Black women. If it wasn't for high fashion, dark skin Black women would be obselete.

And the women you named, Black men couldn't care less about. If you ask the average AA male, he'll say Naomi Campbell is either ugly, too skinny, or average looking because she doesn't possess Euro features like Alicia Keys. Yet, they always use the "too skinny" route, but turn around and covet women like Halle Berry, Rihanna, and other bony lightskin women in the media.


"And I'd hate to think you another one of those sistah's who want to swear off Black men to get us back for the dumb sh*t we do.

Black men have really been frustrating the hell out of me lately.

I don't want to "hang in there". By far, the majority of them would rather have a Alicia Keys over a Garbrielle Union or Kerry Washington. I don't want to be something they "settle" for, while they salivate over pictures of Alicia Keys, and other high yellow women.

I remember when BET had the countdown for the most beautiful Black women, and Bobby Valentino (black male singer, one hit wonder) made the comment that Alicia Keys has the "light skin and good hair" thing going on for her. I can't believe that producers actually aired that.

Batmocop,

Why the haterade argument? Am I just supposed sit back, and just enjoy the preferential treatment over lightskin women and say nothing?

I know you didn't mean harm by the Chinaman comment...but so often society makes it seem as if Black women can ONLY be happy with Black men. While men of color freely date outside their races with great satisfaction. And its suggested to black women to settle for a Chinese man(if we can't get a Black one) as a last resort.

Wonder why "Brownbeauty" doesn't refer to herself as "black" beauty? Is she color conscious? most o

Jessica and Ashley Simpson and their daddy, Joey (all dumb as a box of rocks)

Pamela Anderson (too fake)

J-Lo (gotdayum right she's still "Jenny from the Block"--no amount of her "new money" would stop this hard girl from the "boogie down" from cuttin' you in a second flat)

Sean Combs (he's such a bama!!!!)

Donald Trump (all that phuckin' money and that cat is still doing a "brush over")

Fantasia (can't stand her whiny voice)

Paris Hilton and Nikki Hilton (box of rocks)

Linsay Lohan (she just looks dirty--like she has a stubborn, reoccuring yeast infection--and her skin looks like it smells like bologna)

Denzel Washington (As fine as he is, is he really the only talented and handsome (male) black actor in Hollywood?!)

Eva Longoria (she looks like a ferret)


Janet Jackson (she's getting too old for all that giggling shyt)


Britney Spears (white (country) trash)

Nicole Ritchie (who gives a shyt if you're Lionel's daughter!)


Mariah Carey (she trys too hard to be sexy. Yuck.)


Beyonce and her mother (Beyonce is beautiful--but she tries to act as if she doesn't know it. And all the stupid speeches about how she, Kelly, and Michelle "love one another" and "are like sisters", is tired. She knows those girls are jealous of her! And it's just a wee bit of a contradiction to shake your ass like a hooker but then accept an award by thanking Jesus for your talent. WTF?! And people need to stop lying to her mother about her fashion designs--because they suck!

LOL!!! @ Moonsigns!!

Co-sign on Denzel. I mean, he is talented, but he gets waaaayyyy too much face time over Don Cheadle, Dennis Haysbert, Joe Morton, and Andre Braugher.

Oh yes, and please add the following to the list:

Taye Diggs
Winona Ryder
Erykah Badu (I am sick of her realer than thou attitude with her fake dreads, lecturing the audience instead of singing and getting with every single rapper in the industry)

I've been wracking my brain, trying to come up names other than ones on the lists that I mostly agree with. hummmmm.

Will Smith; never able to shake his goofy vibe. Sexy he is not.

Kobe Bryant: his highly-touted basketball skills can be attributed to his being a selfish ball hog.

Demi Moore: Doesn't live up to all of the hype about being comparable to a young hottie. She looks just like what she is: a 42 year old woman who has taken good care of herself.

Cameron Diaz. Considered one of Hollywood's golden girls but has bad skin and a clumpy nose.

Nicole Kidman: Supposed to be a great beauty but is just one big pastel blur. Always looks like she needs to be fine-tuned and brought into focus.

Eric Michael Dyson: prolific black author and pseudo intellectual whose buzz saw method of delivering a lot convoluted hot air bedazzles but also contributes to his being more about style than substance.

Cornel West: "Great black thinker" getting by on his reputation. Hasn't said anything profound in years.

Mzuri,

How do you post in bold caps like that?

Charlize Theron: The media really blow her looks out of proportion. Even Vivica Fox said that she would gladly switch teams for her. Sure whatever. She looks like any other blonde white actress.

Gweneth Paltrow: The fascination with her really amazes me. She has fishlips. Terrible posture. Saggy breasts. Her body is skinny, bony and terribly flabby. Did I say saggy breasts? Fine, limp blonde hair. Fucks up every Oscar dress I've ever seen her wear because she has posture like early man.

bb123 what a shocker you went with the light/dark thing!!! oh your so clever in figuring me out, it say's alot about me because i think halle looks better than gabrielle, yeah it does ... it means that i prefer halle over gabrielle ... which one would you rather bang bb123? the question still remains who was overrated not anything about light or dark. you phuckers can't go one post without that can you? you don't hear the brothers talking about "oh terrence howards gets more parts than morris chesnuts...WAHHH WAHHH WAHHH" you know why? because not everything in life revolves around that shit. hey brownbeauty123 i had a great day today ...your response "oh how come you couldn't have had a nice night instead?" ... and about your comment about fucking me ... well i suppose i could give the ol' bitch splitter some excersize, when your in michigan holla'

as for you tonya... shut up with your crazy ass bisquit headed self. damn near everytime you get ready to type you know it's gonna be something crazy. halle berry is phuckin fine gabrielle is str8 but she's no halle, if you thought kid looked better than play ... see how a black man responds he will be like "whateva ... where's my sammage?"

i think Maia Campbell looks better than Gabrielle Union, Naomi Campbell looks better too ... the next time u ask me if tisha campbell looks better than your girl gabby and i say yeah she does ... then u can judge me on that colorism crap ... but until then shut your fuggin mouth! :-)

My bad, Dobes. I believe you. Because of what you said about Tisha Campbell, it rings true. You didn't have to call me a bisquit head though. I was just checking. If there wasn't so many color-struck brothas around, I wouldn't have to keep checking; so you see, it's your fault... :-)

You right BB123 I didn't mean any harm I'm really trying to tell you that if the brotha's you have encountered prefer white chicks in their Black women (and I'm not hatin on halle or any other fair skinned sistah's) then let them go that route, those guys aren't the ones you want. Now I'm from Cali, home of the got to have a lite skinned fine one! But guess what Sis; I like em Dark... It's a personal preference, just like those who like them light. I can't tell you how many times I've had my manhood questioned when I passed on Pocahontas and slid next to Dark-N-Lovely. You would never be settled upon by a real man; but you would be whole lot of other things, (token, trophy, etc) for some guy in some other race to sport.
I mean unless were talking about true Love here, it's really just dating. It ain't that serious that you have to worry about what others like when you know what it is that you want. And trust me, you don't want anyone who doesn't want you before they get the chance to know you. Great satisfaction comes from whomever you are with. You just need to understand (in my opinion) Preferential treatment is the same when you are talking about skin shade or a different race. You don't have to exclusively date Black men, but I know it aint the same when you don't. I love my Sis and ain't givin her up for any other race. But when a guy like me meets a girl like you who is tired, it's you who look the other way without knowing; that's why I say hang in there.

batmocop don't pussy out... the thread had nothing to do with what you just wrote. it was about who was overated, and the usual suspects turned it into a light vs. dark thing... how the phuck can u go from saying britney spears is overated to talking about black women not getting props ... notice not one person said that a dark skinned sista was overrated did they? no.. not one time ... don't kiss their stankin asses.. they changed the topic like they always do..and that is why they suck. do not bow down anymore man.

Doberman,

How can a darkskin sista be overrated when there are next to NONE who get half the exposure that mixed race women are getting?

Name FIVE overrated DARKSKIN Black women you see on television, magazines, music videos, etc getting regular and routine exposure that rivals Jennifer Lopez in her heyday, Beyonce Knowles and Britney Spears when on tour..

Name FIVE darkskin Black female popstars that are out right now.

Name FIVE darkskin Black female VJs that are on MTV or BET right now at this moment.

YOU WILL HAVE TO THINK LONG AND HARD.

DOBERMAN,you just don't give a fucckity fuck because you basically want all those high yellow black and latina bitches to slob your knob any damn way.

You know You're wrong, Sis. You're out of line.

Doberman is a Colored??

I thought he was Black. My bad.

I'm a bit rattled. Recently, I was around a bunch of young black boys (12-17) who were infactuated with the white and latina girls in some urban flick. They think white women are the sexiest eva!! And want date them because they seem more "fun".

Apropos nothing, whatever happened to Spike Lee's sister, Joi? Did she ever act in anything besides Spike Joints? In his movies I thought she was interesting to watch and would have liked to have seen her in more movies.

That's something about the "WH?" cast. I know I'm getting old when folks my age who I used to watch on TV are dropping away...

I think Beyonce is beautiful. Did anyone catch her new video DeJAvu?! Once again JZ is in the vid. Oh well (sigh). One thing I didn't like that I thought degraded her was when she was dancing, fell on her knees and pulled at his belt. That shit can be left in private, not public. You dont mix business with pleasure. he just gonna bring her down like Bobby did Whitney, but in a different way. He is the drug.

I think Janet Jackson has always been overrated, since the eighties, but noone says anything about that.
