I congratulate Baby face and his girlfriend on their soon to be baby! Hey if Kenny feel it's right for him than more power to him. Age don't mean a THING! I'm sure Kenny is careful and who cares if this young lady is young! Just as long the both of them are HAPPY and LOVE each other,that is all that MATTERS! Look at Tracey when she married Eddie? That was right after the divorce with Babyface? They didn't stay married for too long? That man can still sing he is on Lil Wayne's CD and STILL HAS IT GOING ON!!!!!!!!!
Now, Paula Jai Parker I congratulate her and her husband too on their baby to be! She is really down to earth and was ready to settle down with a good loving man!

It seems Baby Face likes them very light-skinned or bi-racial. Congrats Face. And I agree she does favor Tracy Edmonds features.

What's amazing to me is that we're praising a 50 and 35-year-old man and woman for having an illegitimate baby and totally ignoring the fact that a decent couple in Hollywood Taraji P. Henson and Anthony
Anderson are setting the proper example of building a life together as husband and wife before rushing into parenthood.

I am happy for Babyface because babies are a blessing. I just wish him and his wife could have worked things out. They were a beautiful couple and and it would have been nice if the boys could have grown up with they're mom and dad, black children miss out on that opportunity all too much.
