If you all remember, the bronze beauty was also featured on the December 2007 cover with fellow actresses Nia Long and Sanaa Lathan. Gabrielle caught a lot of heat for her comments about Black gossip blogs in that edition but this time around chose to keep the conversation a lot lighter, focusing instead on her new look and sharing her workout and beauty regimen with the magazine. Gabrielle, who will be appearing in Eddie Murphy’s new movie “Meet Dave”, said of her new shorter do “I felt fierce, fierce as the devil.

As for her workout regimen, the actress says “It’s about getting on the path to being the person you want to be.

I definitely have more confidence, energy and stamina.”
