I like talking to her because she always seems so surprised and interested in what i’m saying. That, and because she kinda looks like the old lady in Adam Sandler’s Eight Crazy Nights.

NEW ORLEANS — Chaka Khan is more than angry.
Instead of getting to rest before her show at the Louisiana Superdome, the R&B star has been booked for two speaking engagements. She’s holed up in her hotel suite, fuming. Outside, her assistants are waiting for her to open the door.
Her makeup artist, Derrick Rutledge, is waiting, too. He just flew in to do her after working on Michelle Obama in the East Wing. After New Orleans, he’s scheduled to fly out to do Oprah Winfrey before returning home to Washington.
But first Rutledge has to persuade Khan to open the door. Finally, after 15 minutes, she does, and Rutledge distracts her by talking about two of her favorite subjects: tennis and shopping.
Within 30 minutes, Khan emerges, reddish mane flowing, lips sensuous in burgundy, looking glorious in a lace dress and carrying a hand fan.
“It wasn’t a good day,” Khan later admits. “I was nervous about speaking, but he calms me. He knows what to say to me.”
Rutledge has worked for Khan for 15 years. He knows what his client and close friend needs: a hug and some orange juice. “I’m more than just makeup,” he says. “I’m there for support as well.”
Rutledge is the man behind the look of some of the world’s most famous names. A leading makeup artist, he gets as much as $15,000 for a day’s work and boasts a coveted client list, including two of the nation’s most photographed faces, Michelle Obama and Oprah, as well as singers such as Patti LaBelle, Shirley Caesar and CeCe Winans. Just last month, his work was on the covers of Essence and AARP, which featured Obama, and O, which featured, obviously, Oprah.

They started this race baiting crap right after the 08 election, and it increase and decreases depending on whether or not they are about to play the race card. To be more accurate I should say play the race card more than usual.

At one point this 5’7” guy weighed 565 lbs.
I wonder what Michelle thinks of that?
Oh, geeezzzzz!
She makes the ugliest faces and seems to forget that photographers are taking thousands of photos of every expression.
The dress is not attractive, but is that surprising? lol
Wow, the comments after the article are the most intertaining. Lefties out there are STILL blaming Bush...LOL!!!
In the second photo... is an AK47 hidden under her skirt? Or what is that bulge?
Wookie Wide Load is showing her Wide Load for sure in that dress.

Thumbs up, Mr President.
Ghetto class.
What's with that facial expression, as well.
...nope, she just looks like cr*p from the front and the back
Looks like Moochie is packing a banjo...just in case a Ho-down breaks out.
You should be looking at her well toned arms and ignoring everything else. Yeah, I know it’s hard. Or don’t “they” talk about her arms anymore? Excuse me while I double up on my meds.
The pink top and lumpy aluminum wrap bottom is a combination that undoubtedly had the head of state she was chatting with desperately looking around for Madame Carla Sarkozy to soothe his tortured eyes.

WOW .. like some royal, it appears everyone had to walk out to her on a carpet for her greeting .... HERE.
ROTFL.
