This is a gossip blog and I'll be glad when you self righteous people go find another site to feel superior.

Love that photo. So nice to see a good-looking sister not pumped up with Botox and silicone.

I’m not throwing shade, but I never thought she was that good of a singer or actress, and this sounds like a YT production with a vanilla sister at the helm. So, it’s nothing I’d go to but I will read the reviews.

I bet y'all won't show a photo from 40 years ago. Y'all probably won't show a compare and contrast photo from 20 years ago.

She was one hell of a singer. Never got a good chance to use her pipes.

Go Vanessa! I’m pretty sure she had the same kind of role in Ugly Betty, which I loved. And now she’s taking the role Meryl Streep had but adding music to it! This lady can act and sing too - I had her albums - I feel like I need to play Comfort Zone today and add Chante Moore to the playlist today! She is still beautiful and aging the way we should all feel blessed to witness.

6:39 You must be slow and an escaped from Sandra Rose. No one can post pictures. Please go back to that other blog. You're too immature for this one.

Snitch posted that photo so we could laugh and ridicule and I don’t think it’s funny at all

Whatever Vanessa is doing to her face and body needs to stop because she looks horrible. She looks dried up and shriveled.

@ 11:06 AM...You must be slower than 6:39 if you actually think the poster didn't know that. Stop taking everything so personal and literal.

Vanessa Williams have been on Earth for over 60 years. She is working just fine without all of the nips and tucks.

She’s aging like we all will. A scarf could’ve been used tho.
