Hey YBS! We have some new exclusive pictures to share with you guys! I've just added some pictures of Cherrelle Noyd on the set of her latest episode of 'Everybody Hates Chris'. In the episode, she plays "Lil Kim"; she looks really cute in her get-up!

The episode will air sometime in October.

This past Saturday, July 19th, Paige Hurd celebrated her 16th birthday in Los Angeles. But instead of the usual sweet 16 party, Paige made the event a fundraiser and instead of gifts, she asked everyone to buy a raffle ticket - with the proceeds going towards benefiting children with Cancer! Isn't that a great idea?! Paige was motivated by her youngest brother, Pierce (6), who has Cancer and Downs Syndrome.
A lot of our Young Black Starz were in attendance, and I have posted a video of the event in the read more section. YBStarz featured in the video are SG3, Nieko Mann, Kwame, Laivan Greene, Tequan Richmond and Parker McKenna Posey. Nieko also mentions Brittiana Henderson, a young actress who passed away from Cancer last year and whose memory we support on this site.
I've also added a photo from the bash of Paige and her brother Pierce to the gallery, as well as an article detailing the event which can be found HERE. If you want to read more about what has been happening with the fundraiser, visit the party Blog at PaigeHurdSweet16.blogspot.com
I think dedicating her sweet 16 party to her brother and other sick children was such a wonderful idea and shows what a giving heart Paige has - I really respect her for doing this!
