The BET Awards went down last night in Los Angeles at the Shrine Auditorium. In my opinion, this was a great show!!!! So many great moments, some WTF and then there was Chris Brown!!!
Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed held a soiree to congratulate his advisor, Tharon Johnson. Johnson was recently named the 2010 Campaign Manager of the Year for his strategic leadership of Kasim Reed's successful Mayoral campaign.
Mayor Reed invited a veritable who's who in Atlanta City politics and threw a lovely reception paying tribute to Johnson. Enjoy the pics!
The Jamaican police have captured the accused powerful gang leader, Christopher "Dudus" Coke, as he was on his way to surrender to the US embassy in Kingston weeks after leading a bloody urban battle to avoid deportation for trial to New York.
Coke appears to have wanted to hand himself in to the Americans out of concern for his safety after his father died in a mysterious prison cell fire that some Jamaicans believe was intended to prevent him talking in court about the close links between the island's criminal gangs and leading politicians.
Halfway through their 35th Anniversary tour, Third World Band will be the opening act at the 14th Annual St. Kitts Music Festival. The Grammy-nominated group will share the stage with reggae artists Capleton, Tarrus Riley, Ky-Mani Marley, Sizzla and R&B artists Fabolous and Babyface Edmonds.
The St. Kitts Tourism Authority made the announcement regarding the addition of Third World Band to the line-up on April 27, 2010. Faron Lawrence, Chairman of the St. Kitts Music Festival stated, "The addition of these outstanding performers for the 2010 Music Festival helps us to ensure that the crowd will be delighted by a program of diverse high-energy, vibrant acts." The festival will take place at Warner Park Stadium from June 24-26, 2010.
Stephen "Cat" Coore remarked, "We are always happy when we are afforded the opportunity to be a part of something groundbreaking. We've heard nothing but great things about the festival, so to say that we are humbled by the invitation from the St. Kitts Tourism Authority to perform, is an understatement. We are equally excited to share the stage with the artists that are on the line-up."
Best of the Best 2010 went down in Miami, Florida. Since then your girl has been a bit occupied with some personal issues so I apologize for the delay in getting this to you. That being said, Best of the Best was a great show in my opinion maybe not the best but great! As usual, the show was very well attended. There were throngs of flag flying folks as far as the eyes could see. Of course, you know I got the exclusive interviews, photos, and backstage insight!
