After a two-year hiatus, the Soul Train Awards will return to the BET-launched channel Centric TV on November 29. In the meantime, we’ve got a few exclusive photos of the event which was taped last night in Atlanta, Georgia at the Georgia World Congress Center.  There’s much more action to come: Beyonce, Maxwell and Keri Hilson lead the nominations for the awards, hosted by Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson. Performers like Trey Songz, Chrisette Michelle, Erykah Badu and Brian McKnight, among others will take the stage. Keep your dancing shoes on deck and be sure to tune in to watch later this month. Love, Peace and Soul!

A lot of people have criticized Erykah Badu for having children with multiple fathers. As long as I don’t have to pay child support for any of them, she can do what she pleases with her uterus.

But, one thing I wouldn’t mind learning a little bit about is what exactly she does to the men she dates.

During her VH1 Storytellers set last year Erykah said, “Don’t listen to the tabloids, they’re not always true, but what they say about me and the men? Yeah, that’s true.”

You see, she acknowledges that she’s behind André 3000 dressing like seven decades ago. And now she’s contemplating writing a book about it.

As fun as her Twitter page is, there’s only so much you can say in 140 characters or less. Wouldn’t a book themed around how she turns everyone out make for a good read?

I’d much rather read that than Karrine Steffan’s upcoming book on how to seduce a man…and get death threats from his wife.

Erykah Badu and her boyfriend, rapper Jay Electronica, welcomed a baby girl on Sunday.

It’s the third kid for the Gramy winning singer — she also has 10-year-old son, Seven, with Andre “3000″ and a four-year-old daughter, Puma, with rapper, Tracey “The D.O.C.” Curry.
