It was a night filled with celebrities and a hot hunk of re-gu-lar Tuesday night on BET for their 6th Annual Awards shows. I knew that they weren’t gonna be able to get right get tight when Jennifer Hudson forgot the words to the song that made her famous and the song’s original singer, Jennifer Holiday, sounded like Weezy Jefferson (R.I.P.) after she had smoked about 40 packs of Kools. But Mo’Nique’s big girl dance troupe was fantabulous. Truth be told – I think she sent a scout to one of the Thick Thursdays and snagged a few of the flexi-big-sexies. These girls were not poppin’ it or shaking their jelly either, they had some for real professional dance skills. (Now that I think of it, I think some of them VPs at BET have probably been checkin’ out our Fine Figure Photo Gallery and stole that action from us. Send them checks to 4242 Lindell boys). But after that, it wasn’t much to the show. I was happy that St. Louis was repped. Guy Torry was one of the sideline co-hosts, lookin’ like he had on my nephew’s Easter tuxedo short set. Erykah Badu and Chaka Khan ripped the Diana Ross tribute and Patti LaBelle provided the emotion for the night in the middle of the Gerald Levert memorial moment. Kelly Rowland made the fatal mistake of following Beyonce, who came out as a baby R2D2 Robot machine. B tried to play her show down to give Kelly a chance to shine, but the only thing shinin’ was Kelly’s forehead. I was happy that Damon Wayans wasn’t stumblin’ across the stage beggin’ for a sip, but overall I was not impressed with anything except for T.I. saying sorry for whoopin’ Luda’s manager upside the head at a stop the violence luncheon last week during his acceptance speech.
