Dec 03 | by Natasha

This weekend is the "big show" for VH1 Divas. Keri Hilson and Nicki Minaj hit the stage in San Diego, Cali to get their dress rehearsal on yesterday for their show for the troops.

Pics of the ladies in training when you read on...

Rehearsals for VH1 Divas Salute the Troops presented by the USO went down yesterday at the MCAS Miramar in San Diego, Cali. The show tapes tomorrow, but Katy Perry, Keri Hilson, Nicki Minaj, and Jennifer Nettles put on their military best before the official shindig.

Nicki Minaj took the stage to practice her raps and personalities:

Here's rehearsal footage of the ladies performing the opening for the show--"Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy."

The special will be televised on Sunday, December 5 at 9:00 PM ET/PT. You watching?

lol at raps and

lol at raps and personalities.. She is too dramatic for me.. I guess all those acting classes at LaGuardia HS paid off. Her little gimmick on MTV really upset me. She was happy/sad/mad.. Can we have some real rappers. Lauryn Hill come back.

Can I just say something? The purpose of blogs is to come on here and comment on celebrities. The celebrities know they are going to be picked apart and they know that comes with the territory. Some of you take the things people say way too personal. Every time someone doesn't agree with you does not mean they are hating. The world is full of people with different opinions and that's okay! Not everyone is going to like who you like and that's okay too! I would think some of you are getting paid to defend your fave celebrities they way you all behave up in here. It's a blog! It's for our entertainment! Most of the time I just come on here to read the comments because they are more entertaining than some of the celebs that get posted on here. Y'all are some funny mofos and keep it coming!

Co-sign! There is some losers

Co-sign! There is some losers on this site who must be on payroll or they are part fo the PR team or something? Why would someone get so defensive over someone who doesn't even know you?? Like, furious tyles that "delusional" loser believes Rihanna is the epitome of "pop music" and she is some kind of "goddess" in her delusional-twisted-fantasy world. I just wanna scream and say: "they don't know you"! Some ppl need to stop coming on blogs if they are just gonna cry about it and constantly write "hater" when someone reply's to a post. It's so annoying!...This is a gossip site ppl are gonna talk if you don't like gtfoh! #That's all i gotta say!

Why in the hell is Loreta

Why in the hell is Loreta Divine in the Foolywang Material box? Why? This lady is the epitome of a great woman and black actress who have did wonders in film. Movies starring and co-starring along side other BLACK actress and tors. Loretta has not agumented her body, did sextapes, slept with Tom , Dick, Swizz, Antwuan, and Brad. Loretta has not whiten her skin, nor did anything out of acting or being a graceful black LADY. BUT you can look at the outter appearance and laugh at how she's dressed. That means people this is LORETTA. She not paying someone to make her look like what YOU WANT her to look like to fit into your world. This is her. Its amazing how you praise fakeness but bash realness. How Pathetic. IS THIS IS WHAT BLACK PEOPLE HAVE BECOME?

I love you for saying this @K B. This woman is what is real! We should love ourselves and appreciate AND RESPECT others who love themselves. I know it's just an opinion why you have Ms. Loretta there, but some things should just be left alone simply out of respect. Ms L, we apologize.

She is a beautiful, natural and talented woman but you have to admit she looks a hot mess in that pic. No one is saying you have to be fake or plastic to be beautiful, but she is a celebrity and I'm pretty sure she knew she was going to be photographed & I'm sure she can make better wardrobe choices. It's just not a good look but that doesn't take away from the fact that she is a talented actress.

Question: Is hating a

Question: Is hating a professional sport to MOST women?? Ya'll pick each other apart hella bad...........ALL THE TIME!! A woman could walk by me right now, and you will instantly hear other women talk about the 1 minor flaw she had after she walks away. That shit is petty as fuck. I never saw so much salt and shade thrown in my life. Some of ya'll got the game fucked up. When women go out on dates (most women), they dress to impress each other so the next chic won't bake her. Get the fuk outta here wit that shit. I understand shit about lack-of talent, if you feel that way. But u talk shit behind a computer about somebody's physical and your pic isn't even up? WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU LOOK LIKE?? Even the playing field.........
