I dunno if I'm just bias because the skank was out creepin' with then-married man Swizz Beatz, or maybe it's just because I am so-over her self-righteous act. Can't stand self-righteousness-- we all fall short of the dream, we're all imprefect, we're all human-- sorry Alicia... I honestly would have prefered to see Taraji Henson in that role, or even Nia Long or Gabrielle Union. Alicia is so not "Michelle" to me...Then there's this:
Linds doesn't really strike me as a "Madonna" either, but I can see where they got the inspiration for it. They are both sexually-charged bad-girls that the papps are utterly obsessed with... So I see it. More pix when you holla at my boy Michael K's page: D-LISTED.
