Women We Love to Hate

  • Women We Love to Hate

    Kimora Lee Simmons annoys the world with her braying loud voice and her over-the-top sense of fashion. Not to mention, she stole that hottie Djimon Hounsou right from under the noses of women everywhere. Getty Images

  • Women We Love to Hate

    Despite her antics on hit TV series 'Life in the Fab Lane' Kimora Lee Simmons is a fashionista with a cause. Her jewelry line is producing the Green Bracelet, shown here, with part of its proceeds going to help African initiatives. Gotta love that. Simmons Jewelry Co.

  • Women We Love to Hate

    Kim Kardashian came into prominence with the release of a sex tape with Brandy's little brother Ray Jay, making her yet another Hollywood princess to come to prominence for dubious activities. We hate her for getting so much play for so little talent. Playboy

  • Women We Love to Hate

    To everyone's surprise 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians,' Kim's new show, is a huge hit. It takes a lot of courage to really bare all -- about your life, not your body that is. We love her for finding a way to turn scandal into triumph. WireImage.com

    Tiffany "New York" Pollard has brought black female buffoonery to new levels on her reality series 'I Love New York' on VH1. She even makes transvestites cringe at her over-inflated breasts. WireImage.com

  • Women We Love to Hate

    We love New York for stretching 15 minutes of fame into two seasons. If self-marketing is the art form of the 21st century, New York deserves a Pulitzer Prize in a specially-created category. VH1 TV

  • Women We Love to Hate

    We hate Star Jones for denying that she had gastric bypass surgery for four years. She lied to the public. And we knew anyway. Getty Images

  • Women We Love to Hate

    Despite our resentment, we love Star for finally coming out as it were. By admitting to having had gastric bypass surgery, it will help others to more easily make this choice for their health. For this we are grateful. Getty Images

  • Women We Love to Hate

    We hate Tyra Banks because she thinks being a black supermodel is a humanitarian cause. She has compared herself to black leaders who have promoted equality, because she was the first solo black model on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Tyra, get a clue and respect your ancestors. Getty Images

  • Women We Love to Hate

    While she may not be the Rosa Parks of the 21st century, Ms. Banks is a bankable star, who has been able to parlay that Sports Illustrated cover into two hit television shows. She is an inspiration to young women everywhere, so even if she needs a history lesson we salute her. Getty Images

Michael Jackson Transformation

    Michael Jackson graces the cover of the December 2007 issue of Ebony magazine, in which he gives his first in-depth interview to a U.S. magazine in ten years. His hair looks remarkably crisp with a layered cut and he wears a regal white suit with surrealmetallic touches. How did Michael come to take on this ethereal and androgynous form? (Ebony Magazine)

    Michael (bottom left) as a boy fronted his all-brother band The Jackson Five wearing an afro, a new symbol of black empowerment at the time, and the hippie-disco-chic that was popular in the '70s. With his deep brown skin, curly hair and natural nose, could he have known what path his transformation would take? (Retna Ltd.)

    By 1983, Jackson had left his brothers behind, in addition to his cute boy-band looks. Embracing the pop-punk style of the early '80s, Michael also revealed his major change in facial features and hair texture, with a smaller nose and straighter hair. (Getty Images)

    In the video for 'Thriller,' Jackson exploded into the homes and hearts of the world displaying his mastery of dance and the music video as an art form. His red leather jacket and his choreography became immediately iconic. (Everett Collection)

    For his next album 'Bad,' we don't see quite the same Mike. Leaving behind his '80s zippers, he draped his body with what appears to be a highly glamorized military uniform complete with cod piece. At this point in his fashion evolution, Jackson's skinalso became noticeable lighter, and his hair more feminine than ever. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes)

    In another iconic and influential Michael Jackson creation, the video for "Smooth Criminal," Jackson switches up aesthetic forms completely, surprising audiences with classic gangster film costumes. Mike's body also begins to look rail-thin, a physical change that will stick with him as time moves on.

    Almost two decades and four albums later, Michael Jackson appears to face child molestation charges in an outfit that tragically matches his fall from grace. Gone is his unique and glittering sense of dramatic dressing. In addition to looking disheveledin a jacket over pajama pants, Jackson seems mentally unwell and disoriented. (AP Photo)

    After being found not guilty of all 10 charges in May of 2005, Michael Jackson adopted a change in fashion that could not have been imagined: a Muslim woman's full-body veil. A fan of veils and masks to protect his kids from the media, Jackson adopted the similar Arabic women's garb for himself while on an extend stay in the country of Bahrain. He hid out for much of 2006. (AP Photo/Hasan Jamali)

    In 2007 Mike made a transition back into the spotlight, ready to greet the fans who still adored him all around the world. In March of this year, Jackson attended a V.I.P. party to meet fans in Japan. (Access E/WireImage)

    In this photo from the fashion spread in the December 2007 Ebony, Michael Jackson seems to dare the world to appraise his current form. In a complete departure from his earlier style choices, Michael is a modern dandy with top hat and tails, neither military dancer nor smooth criminal. With porcelain skin and bone-straight hair, Jackson embodies a completely reborn being, taking a form impossible to define. With a plan for a Jackson Family reunion tour in the works, perhaps Michael's new style will bea permanent reflection of a new life. (AP Photo/Ebony Magazine)
