Black Star Power

Grammy Award winning pop ikon, and my all time favorite showgirl, Beyoncé Knowles opened the NAACP IMAGE-awards 2009 in LA yesterday and we were there. She performed her new song «Halo» with all her heart (well, at least it seems that way). She was wearing a nice white dress that really recalled old Hollywood glamour. Halle (I can't believe she's 42) Berry and Tyler (the guy that always, for some reason is a woman in all his films) Perry hosted the show. Other black people at the NAACP was, Will Smith and his wife Jada, Steve Wonder and his piano, boxer Muhammad Ali, Oscar nominee Taraji Henson, the amazing Jennifer Hudson, Al Gore (yes there was one white guy at the show as well), Rosario Dawson and the list goes on and on. At the end of the night we even got Oscar nominee, Taraji Hensons autograf.
What a night ya'll!
