The 2011 Soul Train Awards were held in Atlanta at the Fox Theater last Thursday night (Nov 17).

Hosted by Cedric the Entertainer, this year’s Soul Train Awards saw appearances from a variety of celebrities, including R&B singer Keri Hilson, model Amber Rose, actor Lance Gross, NeNe Leakes and Cynthia Bailey from the Real Housewives of Atlanta, Tamar Braxton, our blogger friend Necole Bitchie (who won the award for Best Soul Site — CONGRATS!!), and many more.

The show also featured performances from Mindless Behavior, Common, Cee-Lo, Melanie Fiona, Robin Thicke, Eric Benet, Mary Mary, Gladys Knight, Lloyd, Miguel and a few others.

The Soul Train Awards also paid tribute to the late Heavy D midway through the ceremony with a touching video of the rapper accepting a Soul Train award for 1990′s “Big Time,” and performances from Big Daddy Kane, Naughty By Nature, Kurtis Blow and Goodie Mob.

The 2011 Soul Train Awards will air next Sunday (Nov 27) at 9 pm on BET and Centric. Until then, check out over 30+ photos from the show and red carpet below!

Foxy Brown‘s fingernails have landed the rapping diva in hot water.

Previous reports stated that Foxy was asked to leave a Royal Caribbean cruise due to her ill tempered attitude, but now the real reason behind the Brooklyn native receiving the boot has been revealed, and it was all due to Brown allegedly flipping out after missing her at-sea manicure appointment.

Passengers on the Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage cruise claim that Foxy had set up a nail appointment on the cruise ship last Monday — a day after the cruise took off — and showed up three hours late. And when the salon couldn’t accommodate her when she rolled around, Foxy went completely ballistic!

According to sources, security had to remove her from the salon and send her back to her room, where she remained under supervision until Wednesday when the ship dropped anchor somewhere in the Cayman Islands, and authorities kicked her off.

Foxy, who performed on board the day before the incident, was then escorted to an airport and flown home. Royal Caribbean had no comment.

Ouch!

Foxy Brown just keeps on losing. This time, she was reportedly kicked off radio host Tom Joyner’s Fantastic Voyage Cruise last week.

Joyner had a thing or two to say about Foxy Brown on his radio show last week:

“We put Foxy off the cruise. Let’s just say she got put off,” Joyner said on his morning show. “You had to really act a fool to get put off.”

The radio vet and his crew offered no details about what went down. But her removal comes just days after her phone interview on the show ended abruptly, leaving the hosts and audience to wonder if she hung up on them, or was disconnected.

From what Tom said, it appears that Foxy disconnected the call. He said: “You know Foxy, after the interview, she called back and she was crying. And I said, ‘See, she’s gonna be alright.’ Well, I was proven wrong.”

Joyner and company said the Ill Na Na was “sent to her cabin” on the cruise and “locked in” because there was no jail (or brig) on the ship. “But that wasn’t enough,” they said.

She was then removed from the ship and, according to co-host Sybil, “escorted to the plane.”

Foxy Brown got wind of Joyner’s comments days later, and went on a Twitter tirade:

SO I’m up packing my Luby’s and Kirkwoods to meet my pumpkin Shyne in Belize for a lil’ vacay…..and I get a call that Tom joyner is on the radio disrespecting me….again! OKAY NOW MR. JOYNER, your old enough to be my grandfather which is why I let your distasteful comments in our interview go without putting you in your place. Obviously, you equated my silence with weakness. My maturation with passivity. Grandpa you need to learn some respect, I’m the wrong one to romp wit you will get checked!!

Lying ass! It was absolutely nothing but LUV from my arrival to the day I left. Hugs from Monie Love and kisses from Dougie Fresh….I tore the stage down! That’s the thanks I get?? U wait til’ I leave the ship and then 2 days later your on the air saying negative shit!

Who do you believe? Based on sanity levels, we’re going to have to go with Mr. Joyner on this one. Sorry Inga!
