GARCELLE BEAUVAIS On Cover of JET Magazine

Looks like people from the not-too-distant past are on the comeback. Remember 'Fancy' (Garcelle Beauvais) from the 'Jamie Foxx Show'?


Well, she's just as FANCY here on the cover of JET Magazine.


Whoever did Fancy's--err-- Garcelle's wardrobe and jewelry did a good job. The look resembles the edginess, the fearlessness, the liberation Garcelle displayed when she divorced her husband of 9 years for infidelity. But that's not all it is, when you're on the comeback, you gotta MAKE SURE PEOPLE OUT THERE KNOW THAT!!


Good look, Fancy.

JAMIE FOXX and FANCY--err-- Garcelle Beauvais Reunite in Vegas Beach Party



Talk about a great DEJA VU and flashback from the 'Jamie Foxx Show.' Celebrities like Jamie Foxx, Garcelle Beauvais and Gabrielle Union attended a beach party at the Tao Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada. Looks like they had a lot of fun and there were some "beach ready" bodies at the pool, and what little clothes that covered bodies were very stylish.


Ladies, take a look for ideas:



Ladies, you can never go wrong with baring some skin and finishing the look with either oversized or wayfarer shades; they are a sexy way and accessory to hide behind if you're not wearing makeup.



Man, summer is on its way!!!!! Some of you may already be in SUMMER, but I'm in Detroit so I'm still waiting....

Beautiful Black Women Looking Great For Valentine's Weekend

This weekend was the Heart Disease Awareness  (Heart Truth) that kicked off Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, and many of the female artsists and actresses were there.


The lineup included the encompassing Patti Labelle, Taraji P. Henson, Eve, Gayle King, and more. This was a very nice and positive way to get out the awareness of heart disease, especially dressing all pretty in RED on this Valentine's weekend. Each of the women who walked down the runway have some form of connection to heart disease, either through family and/or friends.


See more photos of what else they were doing this weekend:

Island folk part of massive Hope for Haiti telethon

And I can't tell you how...  how moved I am that everybody cares. It means a lot because for so long, no one cared. For so long, no one knew us. And this really means a lot.

- Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon











[caption id="attachment_1937" align="aligncenter" width="405" caption="Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon (at right) on LKL, along with Ben Stiller (left) and Benicio Del Toro (center)."][/caption]

Those were the words from a tearful Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon earlier this week on Larry King Live, during a mini telethon which CNN held to raise funds to aid Haiti which was ripped apart by a huge earthquake on January 12th.

Islandistas, we have to tell you -  Garcelle's words really grabbed us - the emotion in her voice when she said "no one cared... no one knew us" was really moving. It made us think of the burden and conflicted emotions that her and other Haitians have to bear loving a country that can be so unremittingly sad.

This is really what it had to come to for the world to look at Ayiti, to pay attention to the injustices that have been wrought upon it since they first declared independence in 1804.

But at least now they are looking.

And a huge cast of stars, including island folk in Wyclef Jean, Rihanna and Alicia Keys are getting together tomorrow night for what could be one of the biggest telethons of all time - the Hope for Haiti telethon, spearheaded by George Clooney and MTV Networks.



The telethon is going to be seen across just about every well-known network - MTV, VH1, ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CNN, BET, the CW, HBO, CMT, PBS, TNT, Showtime, Comedy Central, Bravo, E! Entertainment Network, National Geographic Channel, Oxygen, G4, Centric, Current TV, Fuse, MLB Network, Epix, Palladia, SoapNet, Style, Discovery Health and Planet Green, Canada's CTV, CBC Television, Global Television and MuchMusic.

It will also be aired on the international networks of certain channels, including BET International, CNN International, National Geographic and MTV Networks International.

Over HALF A BILLION homes world wide will see the telethon - estimates are that it will be available in 640 million homes.

Donations will go to Oxfam America, Partners in Health, Red Cross, UNICEF and Wyclef's Yele Haiti foundation, the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund and United Nations World Food Programme, with funds raised being split evenly between the organisations.

Islandistas, you know what you have to do tomorrow night. More than anyone else, we need to step up for Haiti because that is our Caribbean family. Rihanna, who will be performing from London for the show, put it well when discussing it on a Norwegian talk show today.

"In the Caribbean, we think of ourselves as one big family, one country. We're all together. We all represent each other....

It's like it happened to Barbados."

Or Trinidad. Or Jamaica. Or Puerto Rico or Curacao. Let us be our brothers' and sisters' keepers.

Fay-Ann and Destra out front & islandistas at Oscar parties

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So up to now, we here at Islandista are still not sure who has won the Road March title in Trinidad and Tobago. From all accounts, it seems to be a close battle between Fay-Ann Lyons 'Meet Super Blue' and Destra Garcia's 'Bacchanal'.

Checking Trinidad's major papers isn't helping either.

The Trinidad Express claims, 'Bacchanal hot on Super Blue's tail', while the Guardian says 'Destra, Faye-Ann in tight race for Road March'. At first glance, NewsDay seems to be sure it is Fay-Ann, with their front page proclaiming 'Fay-Ann's Queen of the Road' and their online lead story headlined as 'Fay-Ann leads Road March race'. However, later in the article they caution "Destra Garcia's 'Bacchanal' however is not to be discounted."

Arrrrghhh! Hopefully, the results should be out before noon and I trust our islandista readers will let us know early o'clock which Islandista is the Road March Queen. The suspense is killing me.

Anyhow, in other news, the Oscar Awards, as you would know, were on Sunday night. While no islandistas won, there were plenty islandistas to be seen at the hot post-Oscar parties such as the Vanity Fair party and Oscar-watch parties, such as the one at Mr. Chow's. Take a look at some of the islandistas who made the scene below.




Alicia Keys came with her mom and inexplicably wore an awful wavy-haired wig that detracted from her gorgeous lilac gown that she wore to the ceremony. See a closer shot of the wigginess below.

Eh-heh. No.




Haitian-American Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon was gorgeous and statuesque in a cold-shouldered black gown at Mr. Chow's Oscar Watch party (aka the party for the celebs who didn't get invited to the actual ceremony or the hottest ticket, the Vanity Fair party but still have enough wattage to be worth a party.)

Half-Nevisian Mel B was also at the Mr. Chow party with her ridiculously fantastic body. Grrrr...



At the night's hottest party (yes, even hotter than the Oscars which were a bit of a snooze), the gold-ticket Vanity Fair event, islandistas Zoe Saldana (Puerto Rico and Dom. Rep.) and Rosario Dawson (Cuba/Puerto Rico) made appearances.
