Check out this clip of dance crew JabbaWockeeZ’s performance during a tribute to the Jackson Five, recipients of the Icon Award, at the 8th annual BMI Urban Awards in Beverly Hills. Love how they are rockin’ those ‘fros!
The Jackson 5 were crowned icons at the BMI Urban Awards, but the King of Pop, brother Michael was an absentee as was Jermaine.
Some of the other winners were: Soulja Boy, Polow Da Don, Rodney Jerkins and DJ Montay.

T-Pain was also selected as songwriter of the year. Universal Music Publishing Group was given the publisher of the year award.
Music group ONE sang “I Want You Back.” JoJo and Lloyd did a duet on “I’ll Be There,” Mario performed a rendition of “Heartbreak Hotel,” and Keri Hilson sang “Who’s Loving You.” The finale featured Mario, Bobby Valentino, Lloyd and Ray J teaming up for “Never Can Say Goodbye.”
Janet presented her bros their award saying her family was her greatest commodity and that she was proud to salute her brothers for their accomplishments in the music industry.
BMI stands for: Broadcast Music Inc. is a performing rights organization that collects license fees on behalf of its songwriters, composers and music publishers and distributes them as royalties to those members whose works have been performed.
“It was mostly ad-libbed, with Russell asking her for advice about hosting the show. There’s also a 9,000-pound elephant in it, as in ‘the elephant in the room.‘ ”
Britney did a promo shut with Russell Brand (and an elephant) for the MTV music awards. I am surprised she even wants to step foot near anything MTV after her terrible performance last year.
I wonder if they will let her perform again.. somehow I think they just might, because of the great ratings they got. It was really only Britney’s reputation that suffered.
On a side note, Britney looks really hot in this shot, I am not sure if it is photoshop, or if she just actually is looking better.
The Teen Choice Awards Winners List is out and the brothers surfed away with multiple surfboard trophies at Sunday’s 10th annual Teen Choice Awards. The awards were selected by over 30 million votes cast online by teens, to honor celebrities in TV, film, music, sports.
They received six awards: choice breakout group, love song, music single, song of the summer, male red carpet fashion icons and male hotties.
Throughout the taped ceremony, the Jonas Brothers appeared on stage to answer questions from teenagers on Web cameras. The three of them were strapped to harnesses and hoisted over the audience at one point during the show. The fans loved it!
The AP is reporting that ESPN has asked JT to host their annual sports awards show -which is scheduled to take place on July 20th.
Justin is quoted as saying that he wants to : “do my best to deliver a great show, as I do not want to be roughed up backstage by these athletes who are bigger, faster and stronger than me”. As if any of them would!
It just doesn’t seem like the right choice for a host, you would think they would pick either a real athlete or a really hot girl to host the awards. Hopefully JT will pull through.
Here is a clip of Rihanna performing Umbrella with the Klaxons live at the Brit Awards. She’s looking good and sounding fabulous. She must smile every single time she performs this song, it’s made her so so rich! After awhile though it must get really boring to sing, but then again as the dollar signs roll in maybe it gets better every time.
