MICHAEL JACKSON'S LAST CURTAIN CALL
These are the last two pics from Michael Jackson's last rehearsal at Staples Center last Tuesday. Folks who were there said that he was back in full effect during these rehearsals and it's being reported that the footage from the rehearsals will be put together to broadcast on television so that folks can see what they would have seen if Michael would have actually lived to perform next month. 
So sad...I still can't believe he's gone. VH1 GETS A DASH OF PEPA, CHILLI, AND FANTASIA A NEW REALITY
VH1 is tossing a dash of “Pepa” and a helping of “Chilli” into its series pot, according to Variety.
Cabler announced Monday that it has picked up a few new series, including projects starring Salt-N-Pepa’s Sandra “Pepa” Denton and TLC’s Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas.
The Pepa project, still untitled, will follow the hip-hop alum as she looks for love after four years of a “self-imposed romantic and sexual dormancy.”
The also-untitled Chilli project will follow the singer as she enlists the help of relationships expert Tionna Smalls to find love.
Net has picked up eight half-hour segs of the series, which comes from FremantleMedia North America. Larry Barron, Kevin Williams, Bill Diggins and Chilli exec produce with VH1’s Jim Ackerman, Dave Hamilton and Olde.
Pickups follow other recent series orders for the Fantasia Barrino starrer “Fantasia.”
Is it just me or does it seem like the only black oriented shows we're getting these days are dealing with some lonely woman or man seeking love or sex...sigh. Where is the new COSBY SHOW??

BET AWARDS RED CARPET
So the BET Awards went down last night with much fanfare and less results. Everyone was anticipating the inevitable tribute to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, but what they got instead was a series of mediocre tribute performances sans Ne-Yo that were drizzled throughout the evening. I think they probably should have just made the tribute the centerpiece of the show where they had a few dancers and singers pay tribute along with some video footage because what they did felt thrown together and nothing seemed to work very well.
From Jamie Foxx bombing with flat jokes in the first five minutes to Taraji and Tyrese doing a "Baby Boy" skit (sigh), I just didn't know what to think about this show that was supposed to honor Blacks in Entertainment. My advice to the folks over at BET...rehire whoever put together the 1st BET Awards show pronto, that was an exciting show and start planning for next year...immediately!
