DRAG RACE: Chris Brown had to be dragged out the club last night after the BET Awards '14 festivities. The singer was noticeably under the influence of something, what I don't know. I'll go out on a limb and say he was simply wasted. He put one hell of a performance last night so why not go out and celebrate. His boo thang Karreuche Tran drived him home last night! BET ON IT: While we're on the subject of the BET Awards '14 they say that ratings were down from last year. 7.7 million people tuned in to last night's overlong award show. I think a little over 8 million people watched last year. Personally I think BET should trying prerecording their award show one year. They will cut all the noticeable mistakes that happen throughout the night. But then again what do I know!?!?

GIRL POWER: Beyoncé is the most powerful woman in the world! As if that's a surprise. That's according to a new published report from Forbes magazine. The famed singer made $115 million dollars between June 2013 to June 2014. You can thank her massively successful The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour , numerous endorsements, her double platinum self-titled album and her platinum single Drunk In Love ! Go Bee! ME & BOBBI KRIS: Bobbi Kristina is mad at Angela Bassett for not casting her in the biopic for Whitney Houston airing on Lifetime. I thought the Houston Family didn't want this movie made, well everyone but Bobbi Kris since she wants to play her Mother. Sounds a little odd to me but Bobbi Kris went as far as to demean Angela Bassett saying she was "manly". Ouch! 

If you missed the BET Awards '14 you missed a lot. But don't fret I got you covered. You can check out a list of the winners, presenters, performers, and audience sightings. I will say the women brought it with their fashion choices this year. I think many of the women looked radiant. A lot of women opted for white(Adrienne Bailon, Ashanti, Tamar). A lot of women also sported jaw dropping cleavage. The performers were top notch of course. Chris Brown returned to the BET stage in top form. Nicki Minaj threw shade at what many thought was a dig at Iggy Azalea. Why though? Is Nicki feeling threatened by the success of the new rising rap star? Beyoncé and Jay Z did a pre-taped performance. I think people were actually thinking they were there in attendance though. Silly people. We got a taste of the 90s when male R&B groups Silk, Color Me Badd, and Troop came out. Where was Shai when you needed them? Something tells me BET probably tried to get some other groups together but w...

If you missed the BET Awards '14 red carpet preshow you didn't miss much. I'm just being honest. There were a lot of appearances on the red carpet which you can check out below with a list of red carpet performers as well. What I did notice, as far as the fashion was concerned there were a lot of trends on the red carpet. One trend was that many singers wore white ensembles. Another was that there was a fair amount of jaw dropping cleavage. Jewelry always remains an important accessory when on the red carpet and we saw that on the likes of many of the men on the red carpet. Check out the rest of what you missed below and if I feel up to it I may do a recap on the BET Awards '14 show.   Hosts: Adrienne Bailon(show: The Real), Shad Moss aka Bow Wow, Keisha Chante, Lloyd Boston(stylist) Performers: Rich Homie Quan, Tinashe, Yo Gotti, Snootie Wild, Rick Ross, DJ Khaled, French Montana, Juicy J, YG, Red Carpet Appearances/Interviews : MC Lyte, Ashanti, Pharrell, D...

DROP THIS: Zendaya Coleman has dropped out of the Aaliyah biopic! The Disney star reportedly quit after receiving a negative feedback from Aaliyah's family and fans who petitioned the movie's production. It is now being reported that Rihanna is in talks to play Aaliyah. All I know is if people are unsatisfied with that choice and Rihanna gets the role, she will have no problem letting everyone have it! Rihanna will tell a person off very quickly! SHOTS FIRED: Shots rang out this weekend during the BET Awards '14 festivities. One man was shot and four were injured when cops were called to the scene at 5:17 a.m. Let's just hope that everyone else stays safe and the BET Awards goes on without a hitch. BIO-RHYTHM: Lifetime is now planning a biopic on Aretha Franklin. The famed singer wants Jennifer Hudson or Audra McDonald to play her. Aretha recently met up with Lifetime producers to discuss the film. 

K. Michelle is firing up her new album. The singer has logged studio time with the likes of J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League(worked with Trina), Sevyn Streeter(worked with Brandy), Stacy Barthe(worked with John Legend), and Harvey Mason Jr.(worked with Toni Braxton). Are you all ready for a new album from K. Michelle? Marsha Ambrosius says "I love penis". This comes on the heels of rumors of her sexuality. For a long time the rumor has been that Marsha is a lesbian. It was even rumored that she was in a relationship with her former Floetry bandmate. I think for awhile I thought the same thing but then I thought well maybe she isn't. At the end of the day who really cares. I think Marsha makes pretty good music for the most part. Though I'm not too happy with her latest music. Hopefully her album Friends & Lovers due July 15 will be banging.   

DIVORCE COURT: The Beyoncé & Jay Z divorce rumors continue to linger on. Reports are now saying that Jay Z has been having an affair with singer Mya. If you recall the two collaborated the hit song Best Of Me Remix . There was some talk then that the pair had been romantically involved but then both were single. The report also goes on to say that Jay Z has been taking care of Mya for the last few years. What do you think? Is there some truth to the Jay Z cheating rumors or nah? I say this because these rumors have legs, like its a story that is not going away. Of course this all comes on the heels of Beyoncé & Jay Z's On The Run tour. MUSIC BITS:Trey Songz surprised Nicki Minaj with a bunch of flowers. The singer was thanking Nicki for the guest appearance she provided for his latest album Trigga due July 1. Christina Milian and her fiancé Jas Prince has broke up. The rumor is that cheating was involved. Christina sure knows how to pick 'em doesn't she? Aaliyah...
