Pop Culture at a glance....and not in a glass!

Saturday night BET Honors hosted by Gabrielle Union featured tons of celebrities looking great on the red carpet. The 4th annual gala event, held Saturday night at Washigton, DC's Warner Theatre, honored legends in the fields of music, theatre, media, service and education.
The six honorees are Jamie Foxx (Entertainment), composer Herbie Hancock (Musical Arts), actress Cicely Tyson (Theatrical Arts), publishing exec Linda Johnson Rice (Media), supermodel Iman (Service), and historian Lonnie G. Bunch (Education).
Celebrity guests included Trey Songz, Keshia Cole, Boris Kodjoe and Nicole Ari Parker among others. All looked amazing. The 4th Annual BET Honors will air on February 21 .

Pop Princess Britney Spears is back and hotter than ever her new single "Hold It Against Me" is blowing up all over radio waves and iTunes. Wonder if Gaga is shacking in her boots.

The Australian Open started yesterday, and Venus Williams is going for the title for the women and fellow american Andy Roddick is representing for the men. Good luck guys.

Academy Award winner Halle Berry is set to play the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin in her biopic. The financing is finally in place and should begin filming within the next two years. Halle will play the adult version of Franklin.


Rapper bad boy Kanye West is spreadings his wings...Kanye has signed on to do some acting, in a flick about a GAY jazz band in 1939. He plays a gay band member, and there is EXPLICIT gay sex in this movie.
It is being funded by ALL of his buddies, Will smith, Jay Z and even Momma O' has put some money into this movie. its a 20 million dollar film.
The script won 9 awards, so i think it's good. The Oscars Academy has this thing called the nicholl, a competition for screenplays, and the script for the movie won there twice, so I guess that means it will be one of those oscar films. It isn't the typical hood movie rappers do.

Andre' 3000 makes a cameo appearance on Ke$ha's new song "Sleazy". Welmcome back Mr. 3000, we've missed you.

Hit sitcom The Game airs tomorrow night on BET, check your local listings, this show is on the money.

If you're in the Los Angeles area...this Saturday(Janary 22) will be a celebration of the life of the Late Ivory Queen of Soul Teena Marie at Oakwood Park in Venice, Ca. The celebration is from 11-4pm.

Ms. Jackson if you're nasty sold out her April 14Th Los Angeles show at the Gibson Theatre in 10 minutes, the promoters had to add another day April 15th to meet the demand. I can't wait to see Jackson do her thing.

  2. Halle Berry is a poor choice for the role of Aretha Franklin, I think Jennifer Hudson or Lynn Whitfield or hell even Monique, but not Halle Berry, she's more elegant and regal, Aretha is chitlin circuit.
