Mon, 20 Apr 2009 19:32:52 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Ne-Yo Performs... 9:36 p.m… One of the surprises I held off on telling you yesterday was that Michael Jackson was rumored to be making a special appearance to celebrate Thriller’s 25th Anniversary. MJ is irreplaceable, but Ne-Yo did a pretty good job   BET Honorees...  9:42 p.m… This is always my favorite part at award shows. ... http://blogs.bet.com/pov/honors/?p=24 Gladys Knight...  9:20 p.m… Ok, so Gladys Knight just got on stage and wow! She got some pipes on her. Not that it’s breaking news or anything, but it’s pretty impressive to hear it live. Oh, I’m loving this! Some elder folks to my right are getting down like it’s 1979. Gladys didn’t ... http://blogs.bet.com/pov/honors/?p=23 Richard Parson & Danny Glover 8:55 p.m… So Richard Dick Parsons is being honored next. I wonder if he’s Karyn’s daddy of Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air fame. If so, I wonder if she’s here. Oh, guess not. Danny Glover just said Mr. Parsons is from “doe or die Bed Stuy Brooklyn.” I ... http://blogs.bet.com/pov/honors/?p=20 Stevie Wonder Wows The Crowd... 8:32 p.m… See, this is what I was talking about yesterday. People just gave a standing ovation to Stevie Wonder and all the man did was walk onstage to take his seat at the piano. I doubt you’ll get to see that part on TV. Guess what? ... http://blogs.bet.com/pov/honors/?p=19 Blair Underwood... 8:23 p.m… Ok, Idris may just have some competition from Blair Underwood. The ladies in the audience are daydreaming again. 8:28 p.m… If you’ve never been to an award show, jump on the next opportunity. It’s interesting to see the production aspect, the way they cue in applauses. These guys just jumped ... http://blogs.bet.com/pov/honors/?p=18 Janice Bryant Howroyd 7:56 p.m… The show has just gotten deeper. Sure, it’s great to honor popular artists, but I’m learning something here. When I first read the list of honorees, I didn’t know much about Janice Bryant Howroyd and by the whispers I overheard, neither did some of my fellow audience members. Upon ... http://blogs.bet.com/pov/honors/?p=17 Idris Elba... 7:38 p.m.... Let's face it, fellas. Idris Elba is the man. Dude is on stage right now and I can overhear "I love him" and "awwwwww" left and right. I mean, I'm looking around and I'm seeing grown women, hand on their hearts, just staring at the British actor. Hilarious! ... http://blogs.bet.com/pov/honors/?p=16    Cedric The Entertainer... January 12, 2008 - 7:15 p.m... That was Cedric yuuuuuuhhhhh-ing his way to a joke in case you were wondering. Dude is wasting no time with the punchlines. "Nobody on this show is locked up before you came here. I see you got your tuxedos on," Cedric joked during his opening monologue. ... http://blogs.bet.com/pov/honors/?p=14 I'm not out to start trouble, I swear. But I finally squeezed onto the BET Honors red carpet and I'm already getting into it with this photographer lady from the Washington Post. "Where are you supposed to be," she had the nerve to ask. "Right here," I responded. Little do you know, this ... http://blogs.bet.com/pov/honors/?p=11    Stevie Plays The Piano... Friday January 11, 2008 - 3:32p.m... I don't get starstruck unless it's Hulk Hogan or something, but Stevie Wonder just walked onstage. Sorry, but I'm not leaving until I get a pic with him. 5 Minutes Later... I just had a brief ditzy moment. I turned around, saw the lyrics to ... http://blogs.bet.com/pov/honors/?p=9
