The 10th Annual BET Awards were held tonight at the Shrine Auditorium in LA. Kanye West made his comeback and opened the show by performing his new single Power, Alicia Keys [& her unborn child] got wild on top of her piano and Patti LaBelle kicked off her shoes forPrince. Nicki Minaj won Best Female Hip Hop Artist (and later revealed, via twitter that she won Best New Artist), performed twice and went through a mini-series of outrageous fierce outfit changes. So many surprises and high points during the show. One in particular that I think stole, pretty much, everyone's heart, was Chris Brown's much anticipated Michael Jackson tribute. Breezy performed to a medley of The Way You Make Me Feel, Remember The Time, Smooth Criminal & Billie Jean before giving us an extremely emotional performance of Man In The Mirror. It was nothing less than epic and it definitely made me choke up. Chris also took home the "AOL Fandemonium Award" for having the die-hardest fans (me being one of them), beating out Trey Songz, Nicki Minaj and Justin Bieber. He thanked everyone for their support and went on to say "I let ya'll down before, but I won't do it again. I promise."
I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed this year's show. The performances were fun and I was really moved by the tributes and dedications. Get into the performances below! *Performances will be added as I retrieve them.* :)
Kanye West - "Power":
Dirty Money, Rick Ross, T.I. & Nicki Minaj - "Hello Good Morning":
...The sugar rush-ful official music video for "California Gurls" by Katy Perry featuring Snoop Dogg. I just love how we can use food coloring, sugar, spice & everything nice to express our sexuality these days, then turn around and try to criticize....anyway, check out the video and tell me what'cha think! By the way, is it just me, or does this song sound freakishly similar to Ke$ha's "Tik Tok?" Hm. All I know is, diabetics everywhere should be ready to rip Katy's face off for this video. ;-)

Here is Lady Gaga's new video for her latest single, "Alejandro."

"..Now a source close to Mariah and husband Nick Cannon tells RadarOnline.com the couple -- who renewed their vows to celebrate their second anniversary in May -- are expecting their first child.
“They’re both very excited and very happy,” dished our insider.
When contacted, Mariah’s longtime rep Cindi Berger gave RadarOnline.com a rather cryptic comment.
“I’m not at liberty to discuss Mariah’s personal life at this time,” the publicist told RadarOnline.com, a statement that did not outwardly deny the pregnancy.
Said our insider: “Mariah and Nick want to keep the pregnancy quiet as long as they can."
...If all this is FINALLY true, congrats to Nick and Mariah!
