Oprah held her “Legends Ball” last night to honor the achievements of African-American women. Celebrities pictured include Oprah Winfrey, Janet Jackson, Jermaine Dupri, Tyra Banks, Mariah Carey, Spike Lee, Diddy, Smokey Robinson, Pam Grier, Dionne Warwick, Gayle King, Cicely Tyson, Deborah Roberts, Antonio LA Reid , and Nate Berkus.
A two hour special featuring highlights from the 2005 Legends Ball will air on ABC this Monday:
In addition to the honorees, among those in attendance at the weekend’s events were Halle Berry, Sidney Poitier, Angela Bassett, Tom Cruise, Barbra Streisand, Sen. Barack Obama, Maria Shriver and Quincy Jones.
In the pictures of the event, Janet Jackson looks fit and happy, and Mariah Carey looks pretty good even though she’s wearing a stripper cut-out dress. 70s siren Pam Grier looks pretty bad, but I looked her up and she suffered from cancer in 1998 and was given 18 months to live. She was gorgeous in Jackie Brown in 1997. Hopefully she’s on the road to recovery and will get a makeover soon.
