Quite a few surprises this week that had some of us on the edges of our seats!....
Everyone was in shock this week when a fan messed up the winner of BET's viewer choice award......it was supposed to go to Chris Brown but instead she said Rihanna & Drake!
The fan who made the mistake says BET planned it all!!
Also this week, after 3 years, the Casey Anthony trial is coming to an end... Casey never did get on that stand but when her mom did, lawyers found things that didnt match up in her story.
Why should the “Real Housewives” get to have all the fun? BET Awards show hots, Kevin Hart shows the men can do it too!
Throughout BET Awards, host Kevin Hart presented a series of hilarious skits called "The Real Househusbands of Hollywood" featuring himself, Bobby Brown, Nelly, Jermaine Dupri, Anthony Anderson and even Tami from the VH1 show "Basketball Wives"....super funny, check it out!
Did you miss the BET Awards 2011? We got you covered!
Chris Brown was the big winner at Sunday night's BET Awards, taking home four awards during the live telecast from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.
Lots of your favs were in the building...
Beyonce performed from miles and miles away...Kelly Rowland proved herself as an independent artist and Chris Brown wore some weird Lady Gaga/ MC Hammer outfit...
The most talked about moment of the night....embarrassing much?
Last night at the 2011 BET Awards, superfan Tiffany Green presented the Viewers’ Choice Award with Terrence and Rocsi. Things got real awkward when she read off the tablet, announcing the winner as Chris Brown....... but then looked up and read the teleprompter and said Rihanna and Drake were the winners for “What’s My Name?”
Everyone was in shock...then Drake ran up on stage to accept the award and said simply,
“Well that was awkward.”
The fan who announced the award was tweeting the whole time...
Bawling backstage. They totally fucked me up.
and says it was no mistake, BET did it all on purpose!
The tablet fuckin said CHRIS BROWN....the TELEPROMPTER said Rihanna. What the FUCK?????? Goin home.
Look bitches....Im not SLOW. lol They did the shit on PURPOSE. Fucked up right? *shrug* smh
If you listen and watch closely you can hear people on the sideline telling her look straight...look straight.
In the middle of all of this Rihanna, who wasn't at the awards, jumped on Twitter and posted,
#RihannaNavy thank you for proving what I tell the world everyday! Nobody fans go harder dan YALL!!! Thx 4 pickin that up @drakkardnoir 1LUV
By the way in case you are confused, Chris Brown really did win the Viewers choice Awards....not Rihanna and Drake.
Whoa...so we all know that Chris Brown had some sort of an emotional breakdown at the last BET Awards. Some thought it was sincere & thought he should be forgiven for his past actions and others just straight out thought it was fake. Check out the poll results here.
Chris Brown started crying as he took to the stage to sing one of the King of Pop's hits Man in the Mirror.
However, a backstage source alleges that one of his bodyguards gave him some tear-inducing eye drops. WHOA...
His rep has denied the claim and said he 'was moved by the opportunity to pay tribute to his idol'.
But the source insists this is what happened and added:
What's funny is that NOW Lloyd is RETRACTING his statements lol. Lloyd is saying that he never said he told him to cry on stage, even thought that IS what he said:
“I consider Chris a friend. He’s been through a lot in the past couple years. I never told him to go on stage and cry. We spoke recently, and I told him as a friend that people hadn’t really seen him be vulnerable about his situation last year [with Rihanna]. I thought he was holding back and needed to let that emotion out. Him crying at the BET Awards was real, I could feel it.”
ORIGINAL POST:
Chris Brown's “comeback” performance at Sunday's BET Awards shocked fans and haters as Breezy broke down into tears while paying tribute to Michael Jackson.
While some were impressed and welcomed the singer back into their good graces, others remained more critical and questioned his true intentions.
Check out Chris Brown's fan ratings according to my blog.........
Chris Brown Cries Hysterically At BET Awards! Do YOU Forgive Him Finally? http://bit.ly/8XRgRq Was he REALLY Crying? WATCH IT HERE & Answer the poll!
Adding more fuel to that fire is Lloyd, who's gone on record to say that he encouraged Chris Brown to cry onstage, an order Brown obviously took to heart.
In an interview, Lloyd says he told CB that he had “to really show his heart out to the world” and cry.
“He's back with a vengeance….I think that they're gonna find a place in their heart for him again….I told him man, you gotta get up there. You gotta CRY, you gotta really show your heart to the world.”
OMG, Check out the video of Lloyd making the statement at the 3:19 mark.
Ok, so last night I was all emotional for Chris Brown, and don't get me wrong, I still feel it was an amazing performance. But was it too amazing? Like too put together, including the "crying" at the end. I really don't believe in coincidences anymore and the reason I put quotes on "crying" this time around is , after watching the performance over again, my thoughts have kind of changed.
I don't think I saw a tear, why leave Man in the Mirror till last? Why was THAT the only song he was going to sing?.... Did CB's team put him up to this? ....
I can hear it now...."Chris this will be the way to win the public back!"
ORRRR was I right the 1st time, saying that Chris has been set free?.....
One YouTube commenter wrote,
"I hate him even more since I realized the whole performance was more about him than it was for Michael Jackson."
So I think we may have to do a NEW poll here,
DO YOU THINK CHRIS BROWN'S TEARS WERE REAL??????
I'm STILL trying to figure this out myself.
I will say this though, I REALLLLLY hope everything was genuine and hope he can move forward, and I don't even mean with the public.....with HIMSELF.
ORIGINAL POST:
Now you knowwwww I have my own thoughts on the Chris Brown situation and how he has handled the after affects of all the drama. But I think the BET Awards may have been his turning point in his career.
When Jermaine Jackson came on stage at the BET Awards to introduce a tribute to his brother Michael Jackson, he didn't say the name of the performer. He just announced, "Here he is!" before Chris Brown appeared behind a screen on stage.
CB has been shut out of Michael Jackson tributes over the last year, having fallen out of favor with the public after his assault of Rihanna became public knowledge.
He danced and lip-synced along to several of Jackson's hits, but the real highlight of the performance came when it was time for Brown himself to sing Jackson's hit "Man in the Mirror." When he opened his mouth to sing the opening line, "I'm gonna make a change for once in my life," Chris couldn't get the words out, fighting back tears.
I'm fighting tears right now writing this, he touched me so much...I realllly think he may finally be freed of all his drama...it's like he was saved by the Lord tonight and I really mean that. Now, I'm not sure if I'm right or not, but I feel it in my heart, and I am very happy for him.
Was he weeping for MJ, or because the words hit a bit too close to home? Like I said, guessing it was a bit of both. Chris never managed to pull himself together, so he dropped the microphone and just sang along with the audience, tears streaming down his face.
A few minutes before hitting the stage, CB tweeted,
"BE NERVOUS FOR ME... im s***tin' a brick right now!!!!!"
I think that showing some raw human emotion might do some good for his tarnished public image... MAYBE.
According to the official BET Twitter, Jermaine Jackson thought that "C. Breezy's performance was Jacksonesque!"
Not sure how much I like the leather in the summer Drake...just like those damn sweatshirts lol....Someone tell him what season it is please :)
Chili got some serious thighs right! lol
Jada's SHORT SHORTS!! lol
TI hit the stage..
Eminem and Rihanna!

Chris Brown cried his ass off...and changed my mind about him!
OHhhhhhh this is the first kiss I seen from them!! Juicyyyy ...scandalous....and yet so cute lol

Chris Brown in Vibe has given an interview for the return of the magazine. In the issue, he calls the BET Awards "wack" and criticizes Oprah. They are strong words by the performer who has become known not for his music but for roughing up singer and ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
Now others are saying Chris Brown's remarks against the BET Awards may not have been such a smart move for an African American hip hop singer on the comeback trail.
Check out what one person said... The BET Awards is the Black Entertainment Television network's celebration of African American achievements in entertainment. It is a significant annual award program for the African American community. In Vibe, Chris Brown has made the unfortunate move of expressing his feelings about BET, and because they are negative, his expressions could hurt him. Brown is a hip hop artist, and this particular genre of music has a large African American following. For a singer who is on the comeback trail after pleading guilty to felony assault charges against Rihanna, it would be wise for Chris not to ruffle any feathers. A person on the comeback trail needs to play it safe, particularly when it comes to his audience. To make matters worse, Chris Brown's thoughts in Vibe come off as a prima donna, and prima donna status doesn't win many votes. Just ask Kanye West.
In the issue CB says, "They were so bent on not getting me there that they messed up their own show." Such a statement is an insult to the other performers who appeared on BET and not the kind of statement that takes you out of underdog status. The singer was removed from BET's lineup. Think this will help him get back on their lineup? Me either lol smh
