Well, there may not have been any
robot suits at this year's
BET Awards, but there was plenty of other entertainment, starting with Usher's pyrotechnic performance and continuing through T. Pain's transformation of the awards show into a circus. He told the audience to "ride with the ringleader," since "this industry is my circus."
There were some fierce performances from the female side as well, with Alicia Keys bringing up girl groups of yore, SWV, En Vogue and TLC, for a medley of the groups' hits, which definitely got "Waterfalls" stuck in my head for the foreseeable future.
We have nothing but love for Madonna, but she was looking a little over the top (even for her) in her fur and layers of gold chains as she headed to tape 106 & Park in NYC yesterday. Maybe she was a bit hung over while she was getting dressed since she admitted to
Ryan Seacrest that she and Justin Timberlake partied after their
mini-concert Wednesday night.
Madonna said, "[We] decided we both work too hard and have to have fun.
Hot on the heels of our
PopSugar UK launch, Black Entertainment Television has also
hopped over the pond via their new channel on Sky. BET UK shows a mix of the current American output along with some UK-based shows. The launch party took place on Saturday at Cafe De Paris, and a number of stars showed up to celebrate, including Alicia Keys who sang to guests including Jamelia, Alesha Dixon and Lemar.

Check out all of these talented ladies who were making waves at the 2007 BET Awards on Tuesday night. We've already taken a closer look at Beyonce's bright eyeliner, and now we're comparing curly hair. My pick is Kelly Rowland.
Beyonce isn't afraid of keeping bold colors in her makeup case, as proven when she showed up wearing lime green eyeliner at last night's
BET awards. I think she looks great both ways, but I slightly prefer the light blue shadow she sported last month. Which do you like more?

At this year's
BET Awards, held last night at Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles,
Dreamgirls stars Jennifer Hudson and Beyonce came out on top. Each lady brought home two awards: Hudson for Best New Artist and Best Actress, and Beyonce for Best Female R&B Artist along with Video of the Year for "Irreplaceable." Beyonce also gave a whole new meaning to doing "the robot" in her crazy
mirrored gold leggings.
Mo'Nique hosted the awards for the third year in a row. Other notable winners include Forest Whitaker for Best Actor, T.I.
Double winner Jennifer Hudson kicked off the BET Awards last night with a show stopping performance of And I am Telling You with Jennifer Holiday. Beyonce took a break from her
vacation in the French Riviera to pick up an award for Best Female R&B Artist. She also literally shined in her insane Balengiaca gear to perform Get Me Bodied last night.
Take two guys, two mix tapes, one big ass boom box, and one bet. The guy who could create the shittiest mix tape was named the winner. The loser had to swallow his pride (and risk his personal safety!) and hit the mean streets of NYC with both playlists blaring from a boom box.
