Whitney Houston Tribute At 'Billboard Music Awards'
'Celebrity Apprentice' Finale: Who Got Hired?
By Karu F. Daniels, AOL Black Voices
Garcelle Beauvais is the cover girl of the August edition of Playboy magazine, expected to hit newsstands this week.
The bronze beauty, known primarily for her acting work on the TV sitcom 'The Jamie Foxx Show' and on the drama 'NYPD Blue,' is also pregnant and expecting twins later this year.
Talk about perfect timing.
Beauvais, who is married to talent agent Mike Nilon, is expecting two sons to be born this November, according to published reports. The twins are the first children for the interracial couple, who have been married since 2001.
Beauvais is already the mother of a 16-year-old son (Oliver) from a previous marriage.
Born in St. Marc, Haiti the screen siren's original claim to fame came in the form of fashion modeling. Signed to the Ford Modeling Agency at 17, she has graced the pages of Essence and Ebony and appeared in catalogs for Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom., along with print advertisment campaigns for brands such as AVON, and Clairol.
The Haitian sensation is also known for her parts in music videos for Luther Vandross and R. Kelly -- her role as Mr. Biggs' woman Lila Hart in the surreal and sad 'Down Low (Nobody Has to Know)' video is classic.
Over a decade later, the 40-year-old MILF (an acronym for mothers who are sexually attractive) is baring her all in a tasteful Playboy pictorial -- and is looking better than some women half her age.
Wowza!
On the acting front, Beauvais will next be seen in the thriller 'I Know Who Killed Me,' starring Lindsay Lohan and Julia Ormond, due out this summer.

I'm not gonna front i whole heartedly agree with detroitd69 ol' girl is a SELL-OUT!!! and as far as what sher and the person from posting #9 HELL YEAH if a Black man messes around with them SNOW-BUNNY'S that makes them a SELL-OUT. They shouldn't have given up on the race that easily,I mean i aint never been with a white woman in my life and I'm NEVER going to be and if i was gonna cross the race line it would be with fellow people of the struggle i'm talking bout the beautiful brown population THE LATINOS. Lets keep it real for a minute these house Negroes are just so eager to please "MASSA" that they dont even realize that they probably are being called a pick-a-ninny,coon,sambo,nigger or even worse because lets not forget we are not even a full 40yrs removed from blatant racism the only difference now is that its behind your back and thats some coward ass shit lets not forget the CENTURIES of slavery that we still haven't rebounded from Oh and don't get it twisted most of you out there reading this are probably thinking that i just use this as a crutch but I'm both college educated and have a very successful career with out having to play the UNCLE TOM role so let me just stop you right there and for all the OREO brothaz you need to STAY AT HOME and see the BEAUTY that all our EARTHS posses. Stop switchin'!! and going the other route with them white females that look like white men with wigs on! What can I say to my BLIND,LOST SISTAZ?? You need to respect yourself more and understand that ur rightful place is not next to the SLAVE MASTER but with a strong BLACK or even LATINO man dont you see that all you will ever be to a white man is a black sexual fantasy? he will never truly see you as an equal and deep down will never have respect for you. all you will ever be is a EGO BOOSTER a notch in his belt because he conquered himself a black bitch and i know you all are fed up with these trife-ass brothaz that you encounter but PLEASE dont give up hope because believe it or not there are still some good Black/Latino men out there we are not all gangsters,thugs,hustlers and are all doomed to be locked up. before i go i just wanna share a few line s from a MF GRIMM song in the lyrics he speaks of CONDOLEEZA RICE (ANOTHER SELL-OUT) but when it comes to her name I'll just leave it blank so that what ever funny style brotha/sistah can put their name in the blank cause you already know "if the shoe fits wear it!" and they are as follows: "Your Fouls Are Flagrant You SECRET AGENT/ I Speak For Tribes Still Alive But Lost/ Your ANCESTORS Will HAUNT You TILL YOU SEE THE LIGHT (-INSERT HOUSE NIGGAZ NAME HERE-) How You Sleep At Night?/ I GUESS The DEVIL Tuck You In Real Tight TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR BITCH YOU ARE NOT WHITE!!!" Finally to all my REAL beautiful SISTAZ I'M WITH Y'ALL 100% I'LL NEVER TURN MY BACK YOU I'LL FOREVER BE FAITHFUL ITS BECAUSE OF YOU THAT I LIVE & HAVE LEARNED TO LOVE. MY QUEEN YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE FOR ME.
PEACE & RIGHTEOUSNESS

That's graet to hear. Even better than that would be if you called me about refinancing your current mortgage. If you want to buy a home, call me and I can help you with that as well.
