The BET Awards air tomorrow and it’s supposed to be a step-up from previous years in what they call “The Main Event.” The pic above is a snapshot of one of the many seating arrangements to the now invitation only affair. I feel so sorry for Jay-Z lol. Those girls haven’t seen each other in so long they’re gonna burn his damn ears off! Haha, anyhow, a lot of events are going down as we speak preparing for the show, so we’ll do our best to keep up with them and post them here. Stay clicked!! Anyhow, this set of pre-show photos is from a party appropriately titled “The BET Awards Producer’s Ball” hosted by Swizzy (Swizz Beatz for you kids at home), Bryan Michael Cox, and Polow Da Don at the Royale Lounge in Los Angeles. You know what to do with that link under those thumbnails!!

Here are some random photos from over the weekend! SET ONE: Ludacris & Chaka Zulu host a “Songwriter of the Year” alumni event for ASCAP’s Rhythm and Soul Awards. This party must have been before Chaka Zulu’s alleged “scrap” with T.I.P. More on that later! On to the rest of the “random photo” updates… CONTINUE READING

TRL showed a little sneak peak of Chris Brown’s new video for “Wall to Wall,” and our good friends over at CHRIS BROWN WEB just recently posted the very Michael Jackson inspired video in it’s entirety! The video is pretty hot, but you can definitely tell he took a few notes from MJ’s “Thriller.” But, the dancing’s fresh, the story line is acceptable, and producer Sean Garrett even made a cameo! Check out the video above!

FIDDY’S BABY MAMA WANTS MORE CASH! » 50 Cent has accused ex-girlfriend Shaniqua Tomkins of making “insatiable” demands over the care of their 10-year-old son. 50 Cent aka Curtis Jackson appeared at the Long Island family court, New York City, on Friday to hear the latest child support demands made by Tompkins, mother of their son Marquise Diamond Jackson. [ Dustin - sorry I must cut in for a moment. Why is his middle name diamond? ] In April of this year, Jackson was ordered to pay an additional $15,000 in child support to care for his son, but now Tompkins wants more! Her legal representative Raoul Felder says Jackson is worth “tens of millions of dollars” and can afford the extra money. But a spokesman for Jackson claims Tompkins’ request is “insatiable,” adding, “Her demands keep escalating.” The case is supposed to resume today…

I can’t stand these baby-mama’s with these superstar baby-daddy’s. She just wants to sit her lazy ass at home and not do anything, and collect that poor child’s checks. You already gettin 6 figures off of child support. What more do you want? Damn! We all know how it works Shaniqua, you ain’t new to the game! CONTINUE READING

Paris gets out on Tuesday. Yeah, you’re happy … right? Anyhow, she received yet another visit from her parents over the weekend.

“Paris is doing really well, she is really looking forward to going home, and she thanks you in the press who supported her,” a family spokeswoman said afterwards. “She wants to be with the family and she can’t wait to take that orange suit off.”

Kathy Hilton told PEOPLE that Paris appears to be in good shape – though she is upset with her situation.

“She’s sick of orange,” says her mother. But, Kathy Hilton added, her daughter’s “health is good. She looks … like Paris.”

So uhh, I guess should call Mr. Hilton and tell him that the orange-themed “Welcome Home” party is off. Shoot! We had it all planned out and everything…

Ain’t karma a bitch? There’s a new rumor out and it involves Foxy Brown getting the beat-down … hey, that rhymes! Allegedly, Foxy’s ex boyfriend called on some of his hoes to beat the piss out of Foxy. They even pulled out her hearing aid and tore out her weave! Homegirl didn’t even hear them coming, ain’t that ’bout a bitch?? Oh, and get this … dude was a PIMP! And that’s why she broke it off with him. Anyhow, they jumped on her, beat her ass, stole her purse, and ran off with her life savings of $500 to do only God knows what else! Check out NY Daily News for more on this “breaking story!” Oh, and if you’re still debating on whether or not you think Foxy deserved this, check out THIS link!

DO YOU THINK IT’S TRUE?

Kelly Rowland made an appearance on popular radio show “The Wendy Williams Experience.” This interview is effin hilarious!! I love listening to interviews on this show because Wendy is so damn ruthless! They were really doggin my girl, but she held her own. I do disagree with one thing Kelly said though. She would do so much better with anyone other than Mathew Knowles managing her career. But that’s just me… Check out the interview below!

You may know this girl from Tyler Perry’s movie adaptations of “Madea’s Family Reunion” and “Diary of a Mad Black Woman.” 15-year-old Tiffany Evans has a new single out called “Promise Ring” and it features background vocals from Ciara, and production from Collipark. Mike INTRODUCED HER to y’all back in April. Check out the video above!! I had no idea homegirl could dance like that! She’s one of the few who actually has a powerhouse voice and can maintain beat and rhythm on the dancefloor. She has a pretty good future ahead of her. Be on the lookout for more from this girl!

Bruce Willis, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, and the family (along with some other folk) showed up to the New York premiere of Bruce’s new film, “Live Free or Die Hard” at Radio City Music Hall. Oh yeah, Ice-T and CoCo were there too. These two have been getting out a lot lately, wouldn’t you say?
