The Tenth Anniversary BET Awards was televised live from the historic Shrine Auditorium on June 27, 2010 and hosted by Queen Latifah. Kanye West opened the festivities atop a rock formation performing the song “Power.” Prince received the Lifetime Achievement Award and John Legend received the Humanitarian Award. Stevie Wonder honored Prince via video remote coupled with live performances from Janelle Monae, Esperanza Spalding, Alicia Keys, and Patti LaBelle. Ms Patti kicked off her shoe and Prince appropriately caught it during her performance. Chaka Khan also honored Prince. This year, in addition to honoring entertainment and sports figures, special recognition was directed to educator Geoffrey Canada. Mr Canada is president and CEO for Harlem Children’s Zone providing educational, social, and medical services for residents in Harlem NY. His Promise Academy Charter school provides an outstanding education with the guarantee that all graduates will attend college.
Memorable performances during the evening included Chris Brown performing a medley of Michael Jackson songs in tribute. It seems as if Chris channeled the spirit of Michael as he moon-walked performing “Billie Jean,” danced in white light silhouette to Smooth Criminal, and performed his tear-drenched performance of “Man in the Mirror.” It was wonderful to see Monica pay homage to Deniece Williams whose song “Silly” Monica sampled for her new hit “Everything To Me.” El DeBarge’s medley had folks standing and dancing in adoration. The legendary Lena Horne’s picture was shown during the “In Memoriam” segment with Todd Bridges acknowledging the passing of his Diff’rent Strokes “brother” Gary Coleman. Tyrese honored the memory of Teddy Pendergrass in song.
Double winners for the evening were Alicia Keys – Best Female R&B Artist and Best Collaboration with Jay-Z “Empire State of Mind” and Nicki Minaj – Best Female Hip Hop Artist and Best New Artist. Additional winners were: Best Male R&B Artist: Trey Songz – Best Gospel: Marvin Sapp- Best Male Hip Hop Artist: Drake –Video of the Year: Beyonce featuring Lady Gaga “Video Phone” – Video Director of the Year: Hype Williams – Best Actress: Mo’Nique – Best Actor: Idris Elba – YoungStars Award: Keke Palmer – Best Movie: Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire – Subway Sportwoman of the Year: Serena Williams – Subway Sportman of the Year: LeBron James – Centric Award: Monica – Best International Act: Dizzee Rascal (UK) – Viewers’ Choice Award: Rihanna featuring Young Jeezy “Hard” – Fandemonium Award: Chris Brown.

Although I found this particular article genuinely interesting, I couldn’t help but to ponder whether or not the stats you utilised are legitimate. That claim looks quite weird to me. Any ideas whether it’s genuinely authentic?
not certain I could have said/written it any far better myself personally
I was surfing tonight, unsure of what I was , but knew that I needed help with my finances, and your site just popped up. (Divine intervention, or what!)
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

The easiest method to find lazer hair treatment in your area typically is referral and never just by an doctor that is getting a chunk of the action. I used to see an MD to have ipl treatments. I had spotty hairy places and had been recently thru all the other hair removal procedures. I purchased the Silkn Sensepil and haven’t been more pleased. Then finally I’m hair free for the summer season time. This will likely to be a terrific year for me.
I had been in the beginning treated using Intense pulsed light which isn’t the best method for laser hair removal. I started out with whole leg laser hair removal. I visited an Dr . that applied an older fractionated laser machine but was left having blotchy spots. Next I made a decision to get a silk n sensepil. I am thrilled and will be going on to additional regions of my body soon. The costs even fit my expense plan which is a huge perk.
I had been performing personal laser applications for at least a year at present on my facial hair. Before this I had a very heavy dark beard. I’m happy about the final results. The actual hairs are extremely thin and I haven’t gone back for re-application for roughly six months. For certain i will say that it did feel painful slightly on my upper lip and there were definitily instances when I got some redness on my neck. I recommend Ipl to people with thicker hairs or have got big areas of hair they need to remove. For the guys who might like to do their tough facial hair be prepard for patches within the following months’ time and many people saying man whats wrong with your beard.
West is funky looking guy, nevertheless he’s crazy and I enjoy that!

Electronic cigarettes, or smoke independent cigarettes, are the most cost-effective manner of giving yourself a pleasurable smoking experience. Smokeless cigs are well-founded
