Vanessa L. Williams (Soul Food Show) is sexy? Since when?
she has always worked it and she’s a very nice person.
met her on the set of Crooklyn yeeaaarrrrs ago and she was quite cool. Came on the set with coloring books for the neighborhood kids, sat with them and colored.
Just a beautiful spirit.

Angela is absolutely gorgeous! I guess a healthy mind+ spirit + lifestyle = glowing at 40+
Where is Salt n Pepa?
Btw-PLEASE TAKE FONY BRAXTON AND VICTORIA ROWELL OFF OF THE LIST!
Vanessa is hot! stop hating!
anyway
READ THIS BI(BLIND ITEM)
This black singer is in complete denial regarding his sexuality. Insiders consider him a (Homo-Thug)
He was recently in the studio laying down tracks for his upcoming album. He just couldn’t get in the groove; The producer Made him do numerous takes and he became frustrated. A crew member call his male lover, When the male love arrived, the singer got a burst of energy and laid down a few tracks in just one take, singing his heart out. When he recorded a love song for the album, He gazed tenderly at him throughout the song.
WHO IS IT?
I AGREE!!!
sexy
There are 2 Vanessa Williams…
The one on the show has the A in her name. (the one with the dreads)
The one on the movie has the L in her name, and she’s arguably more famous (the Miss USA)
Congratulations Angela!!! I think the list was it right with the people, but it’s not the order I would have put it in…I’ve always put Vanessa Williams on top of the list, every since I saw her in the video “The Right Stuff”
Angela is beautiful and very sexy! Her body is crazy
Kudos for putting Michelle on that list.
I’m so happy for her. Finally they recognize how beautiful this woman is. I saw her in NYC and she was chilling in her car. She was gorgeous and she looked over, smiled, and waved. My dad went nuts. Did anyone see her on 106n park or on stella got her groove back. Her body is serious.
I DISAGREE WITH THIS 100%!
Chante Moore should be towards the top. That woman has always had an effect on me man. Whoooo!!
Angela is gorgeous and it’s good to read she has a spirit to match her outer beauty.
As for the rest of the list…I simply can’t agree with JJ as #8 and Natalie as #17. Those two should be swapped.
laady elle
she has always worked it and she’s a very nice person.

work it Mrs.Bassett-Vance
_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^__^_^_^_^_
loooooved crookly like amy loves rocks, but i dont recall seeing ole a.bass in that one (alfre woodard?) but she did work it out in whats love got to do with it lol
I am glad that a brown-skinned sister is getting some love (word to Yung Berg :-)) Angela is classy and flawless. She looked like she was 25 in Meet the Browns. The list is a good one.. I think Vanessa Williams (Miss America) shouldve been higher up but I couldnt imagine who I will bump down for that and that signifies a great list
I looooooooooove Angela she is such a class act!! I met her not to long ago and told her how much I loved her work, she was really sweet..
Take note Auntie Viv.You done ruined your ‘Black don’t Crack’ with that pathetic Hollywood attempt…
LOL@Sugar Walls for the blind item repost!!!
I will speculate Jaheim or anyone from Day 26 but lemme get back at cha
Angela gets more beautiful with age.
good choice
@ Mandah? well,duh..
You know they DO say we all look alike…lol
HEY Y’ALL I HAVE A ARTICLE UP ABOUT OUR BOY KANYE WEST HES THE BEST!
http://www.theceelist.com
http://www.najeestyle.com
who ms suga walls WHO??? do tell
ANGELA IS A BAAAAAAAAAAAAD BITCH!!!!!
I LOVE HER!
Love Angela…This is list is on point…
WHAT ABOUT LYNN WHITFIELD???
Oh I didn’t know who Jennifer Beals was so I googled her….Didnt know ole girl from Flash Dance was black….Guess you learn something new everyday.
I like that list however I believe Chante’ Moore should of been higher. Look at her new album cover for that proof.
Angela deserves to be on the top of that list, she is one of the sexiest most beautiful woman that I’ve seen on tv, she’s gorgeous.
Iman, Natalie Cole, Lisa Raye, Toni Braxton, Stacy Dash, Tracy Edmonds them some seeexy women. Much love to Michelle Obama, she holdin’ it down and lookin’ good, I love her.
it be nice to see her NOT playing someone’s mama for once but, dammit i hope this biggie movie gives Bassett oscar buzz. she needs one, that would be a shame if never gets one.
I have always thought Angela was sexy… But I just can’t see anyone other than Halle as number one… I think their top three is on point, I’m nust not sold on the order… I also would give Elise Neal and Tracey Edmonds top five consideration… I been likin’ Elise Neal since she played “Scrappy” in Rosewood…
I see a lot of women on this list who used to be sexy… Like Janet and Garcelle before they started dating trolls and Euros, respectively…
@ Mandah? well,duh..
No she wasn’t in the movie, she just visited the set.
Like Blair Underwood (another gorgeous individual) and others did.
so there intuitivepisces (smarty pants);)
Before anyone says it, Halle is so sexy she could date anyone and it still wouldn’t ruin it…
Hell, she could even date ME and still be sexy…
She is wonderful and should have been gotten an oscar! maybe she should screw a dirty white guy in a movie and she’d win. disgusting
http://www.girlfriendchurch.com get the word ladies get the word!
This list is out of order in a real way and Natalie Cole & Michelle Obama ( I love her, I do but….)should be removed.
Halle is pretty but for all around who would i like to do ……Chante Moore and Lisa Raye are higher on my list.
I don’t know if I would have given the title to Angela. I would say she is in the best shape for the over 40 celebs. Personally I think LisaRaye is the sexiest of the group. Buy that’s just my opinion. And is Toni Braxton and Elise Neal 40+? I thought they were just in the upper 30’s.
Read this one ladies and gents
BLIND ITEM II
THIS DISTINUISHED BLACK ACTOR IS NOT THE PERSON WHO HE PRETENDS TO BE. ALTHOUGH HE IS RESPECTED FOR HIS CRAFT THROUGHOUT THE INDUSTRY, HE HAS A ADDICTION THAT HE JUST CAN’T SHAKE…BLONDE PROSTITUTES. NOT ONLY DOES HE RAID THE ESCORT AGENCIES WHEN HIS WIFE IS OUT OF TOWN, BUT HE HAS CALL GIRLS FLOWN TO HIS FILM SETS. HIS WIFE HAS HER SUSPENSIONS, BUT HAS YET TO CONFRONT HIM. PEOPLE ARE PREDICTING, THAT IN A FEW YEARS, THE COUPLE WILL BE DIVORCED. HINT: THE ACTORS IDENTITY
HE NEVER WON A OSCAR, AND IS VERY FAMOUS
stacy dash shouldve been number 1 but everything else is ok i guess
I love Angela Bassett! My female family members and I would joke that Angela Bassett movies will you have back in the gym that next week! Her figure is amazing, and she always carries herself with class.
@mswalls
ok MS Terrance Dean….don’t do that to us…TELL WHAT U KNOW…….IF U DO KNOW LOL
Umm… I thought they said BLACK women cause more than half the ladies on that list are MIXED!
Damn I getting old..I remember when Vanessa Williams (Miss America) was in Playboy looking like she was about to lick the cat…meow. Im not mad at the list.
I think the list is ALMOST perfect. Vanessa Williams (soulfood the movie/Ms. America) IS OVERRATED as is Halle Berry. The other Vanessa Williams (the show)is prettier and has better skin.
However I can admit that as a woman I don’t really see ’sexy’ like a man would. My list is based more offa total NATURAL Black beauty. Also if this is about Black women, I will have to side with the Black women who actually look like Black women. No offense to Jessica Biel…
THE FIRST ONE IS
JAHIEM! KAI, GUESSED IT RIGHT!
Angela Basset?!?! That is the only list she will be number one on
This list is Whack!!! I’ve eliminated the those that should not be on it! Yes, Angela is a BADD chick…no doubt!
1. Angela Bassett
2.
3. Stacey Dash
4. Salli Richardson
5. Vanessa L. Williams (Soul Food, the movie)
6. Ton Braxton
7. Elise Neal
8.
9.
10. LisaRaye McCoy-Misick
11. Tracey Edmonds
12.
13. Chante Moore
14. Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon
15.
16. Sade(This is a???? haven’t seen her lately.
17. Natalie Cole
18.
19. Iman
20.
Angela Bassett is absolutely stunning and I’m happy that her beauty is finally being acknowledged.
where is whitney houston
@ Envy Me: My sincere condolences. It’s never easy to loose a loved one.
Angela Bassett is a definite #1 on that list…not only is she beautiful over 40, but unlike alot of women on that list, she will not compromise her dignity for a character role…I bet you’ll never see her naked on screen for an oscar, or even half-naked on paper or the internet for shameless attention. She is certainly in a class all her own.
The list is cool Angela is the baddest but damn why Sade so low???
Damn I love that women. She’s almost 50 and looks as good as she ever has.
They should have a list that is natural(non surgical) african american beauties. I bet this list would be shortened by half cause half of these women had some type of work done and Halle we all know had that nose done.
I agree wit that #1
sigh @ #2
RobbieRob - DITTO!! I totally agree with you and was going to same the basically the same thing.
Angela is absolutely gorgeous! What a great pic, God I hope I look that good when I’m 40. Hell, I wish I looked that good NOW, LOL!
Angela looks very good….but based on the contigents on this list…..Salli Richardson would easily be #1….based on sex appeal
@ realwoman… That’s a straight up ignorant ass comment. What is ‘natural’ black beauty? We come in all tones, with all types of features. Each one of those sisters respresent the rainbow that is black beauty. Get in!
Great list.
There are SOOOOO many mature gorgeous sistas that this list could be 20, easily.
What about Lynne Whitfield, Tina Turner, Dianne Carroll and LENA HORNE (the original black don’t crack dimepiece)?
*oops* 40
@til you do right by me………
Thanks but it was back in 2006 not to sudden
Wow, I didnt know that a lot of these women were 40 and over
why is Jennifer Beals on this list? ain’t she pink?
FLASHDANCE FOREVER…..YESSSSSSSS!
STACEY DASH SHOULD BE NUMBER 2
@ Ms. Suga Walls….I have a family member that has worked for and with Jaheim and told me he was sweeter than a cupcake. I am sure not surprised.
that list can’t be right…cause i ain’t on it!!!!
Blind Item II= Will Smith?
Angela Bassett is beautiful
@ki
i thought about Will Smith……..you read my mind
Dag, i guess Oprah’s not sexy, just loaded
and i think pam grier should have made it too! she’s still fab!!!
Hold up…..where is the original dun dotta Miss. Pam Grier? What is she looking like now a days?
@Ki….LMBO…I said Will Smith too…..
AUNT V…. NO SADE ALBUM ANYTIME SOON I AM A BIG FAN AND THE LOVERS ROCK FROM DECEMBER 2002 IS AS GOOD AS IT’S GOING TO GET FOR NOW
ANGELA LOOKS FAB SHE IS THE QUINT ESSENTIAL BLACK WOMAN OVER 40 THAT SHOWS HOW GRACEFULLY WE AGE ..EAT RIGHT WORK OUT BE HAPPY SHE HAS A GLOW I LOVE HER GREAT ACTOR TOO
@ LADY ARCHITECT .. THEY SHOULD HAVE A LIST OF BLACK NON CELB WOMAN JUST WOMAN THAT WORK GO TO SCHOOL HAVE FAMILIES WOMAN FROM AROUND THE WORLD THAT WOULD MAKE FOR A MORE INTERESTING LIST ..THESE WOMAN WE SEE THEM ALL OF THE TIME …. THERE ARE SO MANY BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMAN OUT THERE LAWYERS, DOCTORS , NURSES, MOTHERS, BUSINESS WOMAN , ..ETC…
@ SEXY VANESSA L. WILLIAMS IS UGLY FAR FROM SEXY .. I AGREE 100 %
Stacey Dash and Lisa Raye are over 40? I had no idea, what can i say black don’t crack
Um, Ms. Angela and I share the same last name, so let me holla at ya’ll on the CORRECT spelling. It is B-A-S-S-E-T-T two (2) T’s, not one.
Get It Right!!
And of course she’s fine. Go ‘head, Angela. Represent for the Bassett’s
Jennifer Beals fine ass should’ve been higher on that list.
OMG…I CANT find anything wrong with that list!!! Angela Bassett is on point with her body…so are the others. GREAT JOB BLACKVOICES!!!!!!!!!
I agree with the posts complimenting Angela Bassett. I remember seeing her biceps in What’s Love Got to Do With It and thinking, that woman is fierce, and she held her own with Taye Diggs in How Stella Got Her Groove Back. *two snaps* Get it, sista! You can truly be stunning at any age.
Kudos to the other beautiful ladies on the list as well. I heard today that Natalie Cole has been diagnosed with hepatitis C and I’m sure she’s in the thoughts and prayers of many.
Where is Michael Michelle? Also where are the plus size girls like Jill Scott or Monique? These ladies are big and beautiful.
Blind Item III
This black female Celebrity was down to her last penny when she rebounded, Now she is having financial difficulties again.
She has no financial savvy skills and spends her money on frivolous things, she supports her entire family and gives her boyfriend money for the hell out it.
She is so resentful and Jealous of the success Beyonce and Alicia, you can see the hatred in her eyes when their names come up. She is also envious of the money managing skills.
She seems intent on trying to keep up with her celebrity peers(mainly Beyonce and Alicia) Despite being in the hole financially.
She also spends thousands on a doggie sitter and a doggie pyschiatrist because she heard that Rich women in Beverly Hills do it.
Despite being attired in Designer wear, Her clothes always look tacky and her lack of hygiene has come up on more than one occasion.
She has refinanced her house and took out a 6 figure record company loan just to stay afloat, but don’t be suprised when this new influsion of money runs out, and she files for bankruptcy
WHO IS SHE?
HEY EVERYONE CHECK OUT THIS COOL BLOG!
http://www.theceelist.com
http://www.najeestyle.com
Wow she has never looked better, especially now she has toned down her muscles…she looks FOXY and in her mid 30’s
they left off oprah…(tahee hee hee)
I respect this list. I agree with a lot of it!
@Sugar Walls
BLIND ITEM III: Monica?
@Sugar Walls,
Blind Item II: Will Smith, Samuel L. Jackson, Denzel or Terrence Howard.
Nope! sorry! Guess again!!!
aunt viv
BI
is samuel l jackson
oops i meant to say BI II
i’m glad she made number one, shit how many times is halle berry going to be the only sexy black chick? hell, lately, she’s been looiking hella normal. beautiful, but normal.
well normasl after you see someone 184692792047409 times.
they couldnt have gotten the top spot more right. Angela really is the fiercest actress out there. The woman is sexy for any age but the fact that shes going to be 50 next month is unbelievable! I met her too and she looks even sexier in person…
http://www.angiebnews.blogspot.com
meant normal.
@Ms. Sugar Walls
Is it Brandy? (Although I don’t think she’s reported to have a problem with hygiene, yikes)
Early life
Beals was born in Chicago, Illinois, the daughter of Jeanne, an elementary school teacher, and Alfred Beals, who owned a grocery store.[1] Her father was African-American and her mother was Irish American.[2][3][4][5] She has two brothers, Bobby and Gregory.[6] Her father died when Beals was ten years old and her mother re-married to Edward Cohen. Beals stated that her biracial heritage had some impact on her, as she “always lived sort-of on the outside”, with an idea “of being the other in society”.[7] She graduated from the Francis W. Parker School and Yale University, receiving a B.A. in American Literature, 1986.[8]
@sugar walls
BRANDY?????????
Blind Item III
Lil Kim? Foxy Brown? neither have done a thing in a minute.
Sydney
u read my mind also…….Brandy does look like her underarms stink, and i have HEARD ON WENDY WILLIAMS where she dispises Beyonce….she use to tell kelly that she doesnt like her and she needs to cut back from her, and how shes not a real friend and BLAH BLAH BLAH
Duh you missed Oprah Winfrey, Star Jones, Mya Angelo and Cicely Tyson. Do I need to name a few more?
@Envy Me
I don’t think NONE of the chicks like Beyonce…NONE…not even her crew…Jennifer Hudson looks like she dispises B.
Thanks Sugar Walls
Will check out Panache too…
@Envy Me
Great minds think alike, lol. Brandy really said that about Beyonce? I can believe it. Brandy was at the top of her game in the 90’s, and has fallen off considerably, so I can see how there could be some bitterness there. Also, was there a hefty settlement in that accident case she had?
I also thought of Ashanti, whom I believe has been trying to copy Beyonce’s look for years. Just my opinion.
So all the males on here telling me that they would rather hit Angela Bassett before the rest of these chicks. Nope I don’t believe you. But I do agree that every chick on this list look good for any age.
Sydney
yup i heard it with my own ears Kelly was on Wendy Williams and Wendy was instigating OF COURSE and Kelly never denied it she just said she would rather not talk about it…..So Kelly and Brandy are not really as close as they used to be because of Bey….idk why Brandy would even try to stir something up between the two i mean after all the knowles’s did raise Kelly..and in Kelly’s eyes the Knowles’s can do no wrong
Afiya
u may have a point……..its the case of “they smile in your face, but talk behind ur back”
Shoot we all saw Selena…her manager was so jealous she killed the poor girl…Crazyyyyyy
@Legitballer
Angela Bassett and Stacy Dash on the same level as far as looks
@Envy Me
Well, I’m sorry to hear that — I don’t think jealousy is ever a good look, and some comments are better left unsaid. Those words can come back to haunt her. Like her or not, Beyonce’s one of the top performers and bad-mouthing accomplishes nothing. I think Brandy’s going through some hard times right now. Her last album didn’t do so well, right?
On another note, Venus Williams will appear tonight on Larry King Live, CNN, 9 p.m. ET. Yeah, Venus, Wimbledon champion.
Angela Bassett yes, yes, yes #1
and I’m waiting on that Oscar you deserved from What Love got to do with it and Waiting to Exhale….
When will America stop its 1840’s classification of mix ppl.. only 2 black parents can produced a black child damn…
Bitches Please(Check me out!)
@ realwoman… That’s a straight up ignorant ass comment. What is ‘natural’ black beauty? We come in all tones, with all types of features. Each one of those sisters respresent the rainbow that is black beauty. Get in!
_____________________________________________________
Tell me what the fvck was ignorant about me stating my own preferences when judging BLACK BEAUTY? So because I don’t think that fake a$$ country a$$ wigs lace fronts TONS of makeup bleach and plastic surgery are beautiful I must be ignorant? No you sound like the ignorant one right about now. In the end fake will never ever win over real. And there are a couple of offenders on this list. I said that I AGREED with it for the most part EXCEPT for a few. You better ask somebody….
sydney
yup!!!!!!!u r right but brandy is a has been no one cares about what she thinks, she was jealous of Monica back in the day too…i mean at one point brandy was the business those “sittin up in my room” days, “the boy is mine”, “i wanna be down”…all that good stuff..idk im tired of talkin about her though lets NEXT HER…NEXTTTTTTTTT
Angela bassett aint finer than halle berry
It is Getting hot in heeeeeeeere people! That is all that I going to say! LOL
Yes. Dark Black Women are the shi- too! Go Angela!
LOL @ Envy Me
OK, let’s Next Her — I did like all the songs you just named, though, lol. And the jam, Top of the World with Mace. Remember that? And The Boy Is Mine video was hot, too, but I digress. . .
I’m sorry about your brother, by the way. You have my condolences.
Wow is Brandy BI II? I woulda never guessed BI I wow but now that I think of it, it makes sense things are now starting come together.
Sheis aging beautifully, go head mama!!! Angela is a beautiful woman!
@ NIKKI UNDERWOOD (Still on parole and I’m the first nicca servin’)
Damnnnnnn, don’t worry you don’t have to respond, but damn, do u HAVE to comment on every post, I mean damn, day and night, when I check post the next day, you already have comments from the night before, get a job, get a dick, whatever it is you need. And stop listening to rap, we don’t believe you, you need more people
Just give me the top three and I’m good.
You Go Angela! She is one of my all time favorite actress!!
Umm…I would think Victoria would be closer to the top 10.Not last.
I didn’t know Stacy Dash was over 40! Thats a pretty good list, I’m not sure about the order but…
I remember Wendy Williams reporting a few years back that Brandy had a funky cooch. I don’t know how she would know that though. LOL Maybe she is the answer to the blind item.
@ lady elle

I don’t need to look it up I think you misunderstood what I typed.
She VISITED the set of Crooklyn along with Blair Underwood and other actors. I ne
