Lauren London, Kyla Pratt, Tia Mowry, Jennifer Freeman, Naturi Naughton, & Others Get FEARLESS

Amidst the Vanity Fair controversy where no actresses of color were featured in their popular "New Hollywood" issue, FEARLESS magazine is showing off 8 fabulous women. We've got the pics (click them for larger images) and behind-the-scenes footage of Lauren London, Tia Mowry, Kyla Pratt and others when you read on...

In their inaugural issue, FEARLESS Magazine honors their "Class of 2010": Women of color who are working actresses in Young Hollywood. The cover of FEARLESS portrays eight talented actresses who are rising stars in Hollywood: Tia Mowry (The Game); Lauren London (ATL); Naturi Naughton (Notorious); Monique Coleman (High School Musical); Jennifer Freeman ( My Wife & Kids); Kyla Pratt (One on One); Tiffany Hines (Nikita); and Chyna Layne (Precious). It's all about young women who continue to pursue their dreams regardless of obstacles.

You went through all of

You went through all of that.Why? OK,these ladies are great at what they're doing but you're still not getting the biggest picture. Actually, you argue my point.Out of everything these ladies accomplished, you have no problem with them being down-played to look like video vixens. Why when black women become successful this is the look thats being excepted? Honestly, just looking at the picture, one can almost assume they slept their way to the top. This cover is on news stands all over the world probably. So when other people from other countries see this and never heard of these women,what do you think their first impression will be of the so-called successful black women in this country? When we defend this type of mockery, we only confirm it.

This is sad!!!.Do you people

This is sad!!!.Do you people pay attention? I dont care if it Tia or the lady down the street. The whole presentation is wrong. Why cant for once we see black women being just that "Black Women". Whoever said stringy straight hair look good on black women. Thats like a straw top on a porshe (it dont go!). Really, would you want to dive in a submarine with a screen door? Please can we change the slave mentalities. Why is a white woman with negro features considered sexy? Black men have the same ethnic make up as the black woman and considered top of the food chain when it comes to male beauty. When the last time you seen a b/m with a weave or buying a skin lighting cream? B/M use what they have...Already!!!

I really could careless about who's on the cover of the magazines, These young women work hard and i am proud of my black young black women who are doing something postive in their life by giving us entainment and not just being somebody's baby mama looking for goverment assistant to help them take care them. So everyone on here Please stoo all this hating and congradulate these beatuiful women of color I'm just saying.

Tia Mowry is killin it in the

Tia Mowry is killin it in the sitcom 'The Game' which btw is starting again in Januray 2011 on BET. I hadn't really seen her in anything but sistersister, but she came back hard in the game, also I have faith in Lauren London to rise above all this babymama drama, I sick of it, people should start showing her more respect, she has just had a CHILD, it's a big chapter in her life, it doesn't matter how the baby got here, it's here and we need to respect her as a mother. Also for anyone who is asking why Naturi is in it, she played the HELL of out her role on 'Notorious', and she is probably focusing on getting into the acting scene alot more, so this would provide her the recognition. To be honest, Kyla Pratt & Jessica Freeman belong on a 2004 issue, because they are old news and when I see them I think of 'classic' comedies that came out six years back. Who ever says they don't know who anyone is on this cover is lying! because i'm only fifteen and live in England and there is only two of those women I don't quiet recognise (the two dark skinned ladies other than Naturi and Torica).. And for the person who said, where's Gabrielle Union? I believe it's because she is not 'up & coming' she is accomplished. Peace.

i think this magazine cover

i think this magazine cover is a GREAT start to show off the success of these beautiful black actresses....clearly the editors couldnt select every single black actress who is up and coming to be on the cover but i think they did a good job...i cant wait for the day when us blacks support one another when we do something good instead of depicting and picking apart every negative thing about each other...its sad..

what cracks me up,is i havent

what cracks me up,is i havent seen any of them in a flim or anything in awhile except Naturi.the one i think could have a future maybe is the girl who played Claire from my wife nd kids and Naturi and maybe Lauren London if she can bounce back from her given title "lil waynes baby momma"

Oh my God! Where to start?

Oh my God! Where to start? First of all, although many oppose and it's only fair because it's technically a free world and people have different views, I completely support the idea of "recreating" the Vanity Fair Young Hollywood issue. Was it necessary? No, but it doesn't hurt either. Unfortunately the idea was poorly executed resulting in this cheap and inaccurate take on working black actresses. So you include a character (which I was honestly unaware of since I'm yet to watch the movie) of the critically acclaimed "Precious" and the leading and Oscar nominated actress was forgotten?!? Instead we have the likes of Lauren London, Jennifer Freeman? You might as well include Tatiana Ali or Keshia Knight Pulliam. Where is Zoe Saldana? Better yet Katerina Graham of the hit teen show "Vampire Diaries"? Or Amber Riley from the uber famous Glee? Or even Keke Palmer? And don't get me started on these costumes and everyone having the exact same hairstyle! It seems as if we lost our versatility. The clothes are just tacky to say the least. Great! The people at Vanity Fair must be delighted.

Concept is great but the

Concept is great but the actualy shoot just looks cheap. The dresses look cheap and the set looks cheap. It also looks like they found the hair and make-up person on model mayhem because there is a whole lot of bad weave and fashion fair make-up in these shots. The outside shoot looks better than the one in doors, but the "stylist" makes it look more like a ad for "So you wanna be a video girl."

beautiful cover, i got to get

beautiful cover, i got to get that, but Black ppl need to stop trying to intergrate and start creating our own, ok they don't see the beauty in us, ok screw u and find another magazine, makeup/ beauty/ cosmetic line, network/ tv station, movie studio/ production company, producer/ director, etc that does and if you can't find it create it for ourselves, Tyler did it, peace and love!

Bianca, comment made 7:48pm -

Bianca, comment made 7:48pm - Aug. 13 '10. You are entitled to your own opinion, I'll give you that. However, I must say, you are blatantly ignorant. First of all, have grammatical sense when you publically post something. Proper names, (meaning a person’s name), are capitalized and make sure you look up the difference in "their" and "there", in terms of reference. The fact that these young ladies are being recognized by a mainstream magazine shows "their" deserved right of being chosen. Learn to love and uplift your people Ms. Bianca......Make this a lesson learned!

Sorry but some of these

Sorry but some of these actresses are irrelevant and havent worked in a while ie Kyla Pratt, Jennifer Freeman, Lauren London. Where is Keke Palmer, Zoe Saldana (she was in the biggest movie of all time AVATAR) and Raven Simone (who banks more than all those women combined) for Gods sake. They could have definitely done a better job at getting real "talent".

IT kills me when black women

IT kills me when black women discribe other black females as being phony when they wear awig or lace front wigs theres not one white woman on tv or movies thats that not wearing a wig or hair piece they just change the name from weave to extenstion to sound better and and above the word weave (so stop hating women of color who decides to wear them).
