2008 BET Honors Awards+Lil Mama, Chris Brown & T-Pain On Set

YBF celebs were in full effect at last night’s BET Honors Awards.  And y’all know the red carpet was full of fabulousness…

 

Honoree Ms. Keys rocked her usual fabulous bejewelled look.

Her man Kerry came to support of course.

And so did Moms.

Honoree Tyra Banks looked simply gorgeous:

The dress is busy…but it works.

Loves it all.

Key Key Cole was there:

Not really feeling the look.  Maybe it’s the big ass tatts.  Or maybe it’s just the dress.  Either way…I ain’t feeling it.

But her makeup was on point as always.

Honoree Janice Bryant looked fab.

Idris Elba made an appearance.

Cutie Raheem Davaughn was there.

DC Mayor Adrian Fenty brought along his wife Michelle.

Kerry Washington and the fabulousness that is her dress made an appearance.

Beautiful.

Mario Van Peebles was there.

And other folks joining the Black Don’t Crack…With A Little Plastic Help crew made appearances:

I really hope she got that Hello Kitty tattoo 25 years ago.

Ms. Fox has joined that crew though.  And either she got a new plastic surgeon or boycotted the silicone for a minute because chick is looking fab.

And Blair Underwood has joined the crew too.

John Legend came out to celebrate.

Somebody please inform Chingy that khakis and a brown leather jacket DO NOT equal Black Tie.  Do better.

Honoree Dr. Cornel West was there.

Cedrick the Entertainer hosted.

Hill Harper was there.

Jilly from Philly brought her usual fabness:

I’m sure that’s her new man Lamman Rucker’s hand off to the right seeing that he couldn’t keep his hands off her last night.

Wyclef was there Niia who is featured on his track ”Sweetest Girl”.

Ne-Yo was there.

And Debra Lee of course was there. The show airs on BET February 22nd.

Beyonce’s still at Milan’s fashion week and she hit up the Armani show today:

Cute look.
 

Lil’ Mama recently hit up Miami to shoot her new music video for “Shawty Get Loose” featuring Chris Brown and T-Pain:

 

The YBF’s got the first exclusive look of the pics:

Somebody needs to give her stylist and makeup artist a raise.  A definite upgrade.

It’s her third single off Voices Of the Young People which drops this spring. {Thanks Andrew}

After seeing this pic, I now believe Omarion really did say he loves wearing skinny jeans and button downs to show off his figure.

The Randomness:

  1. Vivica Fox sets the record straight about the alleged sex tape.  She adamantly stated last night at the BET Honors it’s not her on the tape and a tape is nonexistent.  And considering the “source” of the alleged sex tape…nobody should be surprised.  Cue the next fake sex tapes….
  2. Happy 95th birthday to my FABULOUS Sorors of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.!
  3. Christina Aguilera’s people have sent out a press release updating us on her new baby’s birth I reported a couple nights ago:

Christina Aguilera and her husband Jordan Bratman are proud to announce the birth of their son Max Liron Bratman. He is a beautiful, healthy baby boy! He was born on January 12th, 2008 at 10:05pm weighing in at 6 pounds 2 oz. and 20.5 inches long. Mom is resting and doing well!



Congrats again to the couple.

    Blair!! Holla at a heffa, would you please? I know yo ass is married…but i’ll be damned if i care! Whooo chile, that man has been foine since i was in kindergarten, but he could get it, he could get it, he could get it! Shyt, i’ll even let his plastic surgeon watch. I do NOT care. Give. It. To. Mama.

    Beyonce is the only heffa that can make culottes and black tights look fab. Gone head, chick, with them shiny dark curls and the neutral makeup shades! They may have sliced Hov out the shots, but I see you, B! Looking good!

    Keyshia Cole looks….ladylike? Well i’ll be got damned! Vivica Fox looks less android and way fabulous-er than she has in a very long time. She’s got that regal-40something look going on. Fab! Kerry Washington knows its a crime to look this good. Best emerald green dress of the season-better than RiRi AND Bey-Bey. Kerry wins it.

    Alicia looks beautiful neck down, but something about her makeup and smile are severe to me in these pics. She’s such a pretty girl with a softer look. However, i love what she stands for, so hey, if she wanna come off like a fly Grecian statue, MO’ POWER TO HER. Jill, loves the smile, loves the sprung negro, hate the dress. Chris Brown, i see you in that black and white Michael Jackson 80’s looking jacket, boo! Lil Mama looking like she just stepped off the set of the Matrix onto an old Aaliyah video…still fab. Its good to see her pressing on so soon after losing her mama. Let us have a moment of silence for Omari Grandberry’s booty. Ki-Toy Johnson, Angel Lola Luv, Vida Guerra, look out. Its some fresh ass in town, and Omarion is COMIN’ FUH YA’LL’S SPOT!! The rest of them people can go kick rocks.

    …Except for Tyra. She ain’t looked this good in a wig and a couture dress since….since….since she was still wearing Vickie’s Secret underwires in the catalogues. What ever the hell her NYC businessman brutha is putting on her? Let it continue. Kimora Lee can’t do for her what that man’s been doin’, cause Tyra ain’t been glowing in a minute!

    Alicia looks great in that get-up, her moms does also.. if what they say is true, and she is going to look anything like her mom when she ages then she’s going to be one hot old lady.. I’d do them both.
    —–>
    Hey Tyra, nice tits.. if you have any spare nipples then I have a spare tongue, txt me.
    ——->
    Tattoos make women look so trashy, but on Keyshia Cole I am willing to let them pass.. if she is trashy then I would gladly change my name to Oscar and play in her landfill.
    ———->
    Hey Kerry Washington babe, my Verizon broke, what’s up with your DSL?
    ————>
    Gotta love Dr. Cornel Crazy, why, well because that dude looks crazy.
    ————–>
    Yeah Wyclef, get that white meat.. white meat is the 10th wonder of this world you know, really.. I wonder why I wasn’t introduced to it at an earlier age.
    —————–>
    Ok from the neck down LilMama is looking good, from the neck up I think that her neck is capable of puking.

    Alicia doesn’t need that much makeup, she’s too fab. Big tat’s on the arm take away from the beauty of a person, Faith Evans has a big one too on the arm-not cute. I like the creativity of Tyra putting the part of her lace front over to the side, the only problem is that she needs a little bit more baby hair out.

    Kerry Washington=Blah
    Vivica is looking like the cat woman. Vivica you’re a pretty woman, but less in more; flatter hair, lighter makeup, no contacts-please lose this look.
    Mario Van Peeples=I’m gonna need you to get a fade!
    Neo= always looking freakin, like he’s thinking, the after-party, the freaks, the groupies.
    Lil Momma= Ok let me say this black hair washes some black women out, this hair color is too dark.
    Beyonce= Speaking of black hair, it’s a little too dark, a few highlights would be good.
    Last, but not least Hill Harper, you are too fly to be posing like a goofy 7th grader. Stand straight and give that GQ pose study Blair Underwood.

    I love Alicia so much but doesn’t that look like a doily around her neck!! That faded tattoo on Viv’s arm is suppose to be a fox I guess to conciede with her name?? who knows but she should get that covered or done over!! Idris baby I been in love with him since Stringer Bell came into my life on the Wire!! Is it me or does Beyonce seem to look more like her sister latley!! maybe its the hair? I don’t think Chingy knew where he was going that nite(lol) he still fine though, I love that hair cut on Keysha not really feeling the ensemble but I like her cause she seems real I guess cause we saw how her life really is on her show!! It’s good to see Lil Mama doing her thing since the passing of her mom I haven’t seen to much of her but she looks happy not to sure about her look in the video but she is still a cute girl!!!

    >’bout time Tyra did something a little diff.with that hair! It’s cute..
    >Keyshia looks pretty, but that tat is kinda overbearing.
    >I loooove Kerry’s dress
    >Viv’s face scares me, but I like the dress though!
    >Chingy….Stay your cute self home if you don’t have anything to wear!
    >Ne-Yo makes like the same face in every pic!
    >Bey looks gorgeous in anything, only she can get away with some of this stuff!
    >Ugggh! Lil Mama’s new song is annoying! Something just ain’t right about it! Chris looks cute as always though. Back to the song—I like chris’ part and T-Pain’s too, Lil Mama’s part is straight too but, that beat is weird!!! It doesn’t fit the lyrics.
    The song is about dancing right? But the beat doesn’t really have a bounce to it to me!

    Tis all!

    B’s hair looks fabulous. I don’t know what she did so different from one day to the next, but a definite improvement over what she was rocking at the show with Jay & Kelly.

    Jill looks FANTASTIC! So does Kerry (as always). Not quite feeling all the jewels on Alicia, but she still gets a thumbs up. Great make up.

    I am writing to express my disappointment that they accepted an award from BET - esp. in light of Bob Johnson’s attack against Barack Obama. He has some nerve! That network has done more to set Black people back than any other in recent memory. I stopped watching it years ago when they shifted their programming from shows like “Teen Focus” to “Hot Ghetto Mess”. They have categorically waged war against Black women and girls by airing some of the most degrading programs since the beginning of the 20th century - yes the 20th century! I find it hard to understand why they could not have simply declined. Just like the African slave trade, there were white people ready and willing to exploit us, but they were greatly aided by the other Africans willing to sell their own kind out for a buck….

    y’all need to read this, they just talked about it on CNN

    Sunday, January 13, 2008
    MARY J. BLIGE, TIMBALAND, 50 CENT, TYLER PERRY & WYCLEF ACCUSED OF PURCHASING STEROIDS.

    What does Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent, Timbaland and Tyler Perry all have in common besides music, films, wealth and the respect of their peers? The answer is steroids. These five talented and successful artists have all been confirmed as participants in an Albany probe as recent buyers of body enhancement supplements. Hard to believe, right? Personally, I can easily believe the allegations against 50 Cent and Timbaland. But it’s the accusations against Mary that has me at a lost for words. Wouldn’t it have been easier and safer for her to just go under the knife (again) instead of risking her life to look….what the hell is she trying to look like?! As far as Wyclef and Tyler are concerned, I can’t even call it so I’ll digress for now…

    The following details are sooooooooo not the business.

    Mary J. Blige, 37
    The Bronx native’s first album — What’s the 411? — debuted in 1992. Since then Blige has produced seven multiplatinum albums and won six Grammy Awards. In December 2006 Blige won nine Billboard Music Awards for her album The Breakthrough. Between August 2005 and January 2007 Blige allegedly received multiple shipments from an Orlando pharmacy of Jentropin, a human growth hormone, and Oxandrolone, an anabolic steroid, in orders sent to her at the Beverly Hills Hotel, MGM Grand in Las Vegas, and Clay Gym in New York City. At least one of the orders was mailed under the name “Marlo Stanfield,” which is the character name of a drug kingpin on the Baltimore-based HBO crime drama The Wire.

    Blige’s representative did not respond to a request for comment.

    Curtis James Jackson III, 50 Cent, 32
    Jackson started dealing drugs at the age of 12 in Queens but an arrest on weapons and drug charges and a sentence in a shock incarceration program led him to abandon the street life and gravitate to a career in rap music. The stage name 50 Cent, Curtis has said, underscores his effort to “change” his life. Jackson is alleged to have received shipments of steroids at his mansion in Farmington, Conn. in July 2006 an order was mailed to his residence under the name “Michael Jordan” and also at a residence on Oakmont Drive in Los Angeles. Steroids in his name also were mailed to the office of a Long Island chiropractor.

    Jackson’s representative did not respond to a request for comment.

    Timothy Z. Mosley, Timbaland, 35 Mosley was born in Norfolk, Va., and began his musical career in the mid-1990s emerging as a top rap artist. Mosley has become a major record producer and two years ago founded his own label, Mosley’s Musical Group. The label’s debut, Nelly Furtado’s Promiscuous featuring Timbaland, reached the top of the song charts. Mosley allegedly received shipments of human growth hormone and anabolic steroids between October 2005 and September 2006 at his Miami residence and at the office of a Long Island chiropractor.

    Mosley could not be reached for comment.

    CONTINUE READING THE REST OF THIS STORY AFTER THE JUMP!

    Tyler Perry, 38
    An award-winning playwright, actor, director and producer. In 2005 Perry wrote, produced and starred in the box office hit, Diary of a Mad Black Woman. Last fall, his television comedy series House of Payne debuted on TBS. Perry’s biography on his Web site touts his rags-to-riches story from being homeless on the streets of New Orleans to now owning a mansion outside Atlanta. Prescriptions for anabolic steroids and growth hormone were shipped in Perry’s name to his business and studio headquarters on Krog Street in Atlanta in 2005 and 2006.

    Perry could not be reached for comment.

    Wyclef Jean, 35
    Co-founder of The Fugees. The Haitian-born rapper and Grammy Award-winning musician is a producer and self-described social activist. Jean splits time between New York City and Haiti, where he has spearheaded humanitarian efforts with stars such as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Prescriptions in Jean’s name for human growth hormone and Oxandrolone, an anabolic steroid, were shipped to the office of a Long Island chiropractor in August 2005.

    Jean’s publicist declined to comment.

    this is on CNN y’all

    50 Cent, Mary J. Blige & others said to be named in steroid report
    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    Sunday, January 13th 2008, 6:59 PM

    Corkery/News

    50 Cent

    Roca/News

    Mary J. Blige
    A number of entertainers were named in connection with an Albany-based steroid investigation, but are not part of an ongoing criminal probe, according to a published report.

    The Times Union of Albany cited unnamed sources in a Sunday report that R&B music star Mary J. Blige, rap musicians 50 Cent, Timbaland and Wyclef Jean, and award-winning author and producer Tyler Perry may have received or used performance enhancing drugs.

    Albany District Attorney P. David Soares launched a Albany-based investigation into steroid trafficking last year. Law enforcement officials have said evidence does not indicate that the celebrities broke the law. Officials are focusing on the doctors, pharmacists and clinics that provide the drugs.

    Ken Sunshine, a spokesman for Tyler Perry declined comment. Calls to representatives for the musicians were not immediately returned Sunday.

    Soares has declined to comment on or confirm the identities of the stars mentioned in the report. His multistate investigation has focused on Signature Pharmacy of Orlando, Fla. So far 10 defendants have pleaded guilty and some professional athletes have been linked to the probe in news reports.

    Soares has said Signature was at the center of a web of businesses and doctors that illegally wrote prescriptions for steroids. The investigation gained national attention almost a year ago when authorities raided Signature. The company’s owners and the pharmacy’s operators are awaiting trial in Albany on related charges.

    Records shared with the Times Union and information from several cooperating witnesses on Long Island indicate the celebrities received prescribed human growth hormone or steroids. In some cases aliases were used for their delivery.

    Former Sen. George Mitchell released his report last month on performance-enhancing drugs in baseball.

    The report said former Mets clubhouse attendant Kirk Radomski provided steroids and human growth hormone linked to several prominent players.

    Radomski pleaded guilty last year to charges that he dealt steroids to players for a decade.

    Hearings are set to begin this month in Congress on the Mitchell report.

    Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., introduced legislation that would make possession of human growth hormone illegal without a current, valid prescription

    -Alicia Keys looks okay, something about the outfit is just a little off for me though.
    -Tyra looks good for once. She’s usually does too much but I agree with Natasha that this time it actually works.
    -Chingy (blank Stare)
    -Jill Scott, something is telling me that her hair looked better in person. Some things just don’t translate too good in pictures. With that said, i’ll let her off with just a warning.
    -Ne-Yo annoys me to no end.
    -Lil Mama’s stylist needs to be tied to the back of a moving truck and dragged back to beauty school. She looks like she’s auditioning for the part of the tranny in the X-Men Movie. Hot Ass Mess.
    -Omarion’s fat ass ain’t even funny. I’m gonna start a campaign to buy him a pair of Spanx.

    I always thought Lil’ Mama looked waaaay too old, but hardly anyone seemed to comment on it. It’s almost as if she has some sort of illness.

    Jill Scott looks fabulous? I don’t think so. She looks a mess. That dress is doing nothing for her figure.

    Beyonce black weave is beautiful! It’s hard to knock weaves when they’re making them so pretty these days. I wonder if it’s a half wig or a lacefront-it’s amazing what kind of faux hair money can buy…Alicia Keys and Kerry Washington’s dresses are both nice yet very familiar from the last couple of red carpet seasons. Lil Mama still looks old to me but she looks a lot better than before.

    I am writing to express my disappointment that they accepted an award from BET - esp. in light of Bob Johnson’s attack against Barack Obama. He has some nerve! That network has done more to set Black people back than any other in recent memory.

They have categorically waged war against Black women and girls by airing some of the most degrading programs since the beginning of the 20th century - yes the 20th century! I find it hard to understand why they could not have simply declined. Just like the African slave trade, there were white people ready and willing to exploit us, but they were greatly aided by the other Africans willing to sell their own kind out for a buck….

    True, true, I say Bob Johnson on the news this morning and all I could think was, “No thank you” :(

    Vivica is starting to look like the white chick from The Real Housewives of Orange County, ya know, the one that looks like Skeletor and her face doesn’t move and it looks painful for her to smile. LOL. And Keshia Cole and Viv are a lesson to young girls to JUST SAY NO TO THE TATS! When you get older and want to look polished and mature in your thousand dollar dress, you will ALWAYS end up looking hood and busted with that sh#t written on you.
