Over the weekend Lauryn Hill hit the stage at Beverly Bond’s “Rock! Like A Girl” concert series while LisaRaye hosted a charity event for cancer. Read the deets and check the pics when you go inside…
After clearing up more tax rumors, former Fugees singer Lauryn Hill served as the headliner for “Rock! Like A Girl” concert series on Saturday in Washington, D.C. at The Kennedy Center.
“Black Girls Rock!” creator Beverly Bonds (above) created “Rock! Like A Girl,” a concert and conversation series gathering some of entertainment’s biggest female names. Legendary raptress MC Lyte hosted the event along with local and national artists who performed in the honor of women everywhere.
Before Lauryn took the stage, Hip Hop violinist Miri Ben Ari performed a medley that included “Dim the Lights.” Soon after, L. Boogie hit the stage performing remixes of her hits including “Lost Ones.”
Ms. Hill and MC Lyte talked backstage. Lyte captioned, “Backstage at one of the most historic events for Women and music. Been a minute since I've seen my sister Lauryn Hill but it's always like a day has never passed. L Boogie blew the stage off the hinges!!! Amazing event @djbeverlybond #onemic #rocklikeagirl #herstory big ups to ALL the women who rocked the house tonight. Let's push our mission forth!!!”

And on the other side of the country...
LisaRaye, in her all white, got on her hosting duties at the Kiss ASPS Cancer Goodybe charity event held at Nakeah's Cosmetics and Beauty Lounge in L.A.
The “Single Ladies” star greeted guests in honor of her makeup artist, Jemisha, who passed away a few years ago from a rare form of cancer called ASPS. Attendees were pampered with makeup application, brow sculpting, eyelash extensions and manicures as they raised money for ASPS awareness. Fab!
BONUS:
As the Miami Heat defeated the NY Knicks in Miami on yesterday, real basketball wives LaLa Anthony, Gabrielle Union and Adrienne Bosh got together to watch the game.
LaLa repped for her man in Miami as she got in some girl time with Gabby & Adrienne sharing, “Game fun in Miami with @mrsadriennebosh @gabunion @telltell_heart @misslimah @aprilbellephotos gotta cheer for my Knicks!”
Cute.
