Rocsi and Terrence J hosted the special episode which featured live performances and appearances by T.I., Jennifer Hudson, Bow Wow,Soulja Boy, Keyshia Cole, Terrence Howard, LL Cool J, Ray J and Busta Rhymes. Rosci was insisting that she's going to be around for another 2000 episodes. But no one know if her career survive the LisaRaye/Michael Misick divorce scandal. Click here to watch recaps of the show on BET Blast.
Since its introduction in 2000, the hip-hop/R&B-oriented show has become a cultural touchstone for fans and a launching pad not only for music but also for movies. Terrence (Terrence Jenkins) and Rocsi (Raquel Roxanne Diaz), the upbeat hosts of the daily live show, routinely greet such stars as Jay-Z, Madonna, Snoop Dogg and Mariah Carey before an enthusiastic audience.
The program scored a coup last September when Kanye West and 50 Cent appeared on the eve of their ballyhooed album release showdown. And just last week, Tropic Thunder stars Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr. were on the set.
"It's for all youth, not just urban youth," says Stephen Hill, BET's executive vice president of music, programming and talent. The show is introducing an online social community,106 & Park; Park Connect, that will make the already interactive show more accessible. source
Former BET host Julissa attended the anniversary celebration and hung out with Yung Berg.

The LisaRaye McCoy-Misick & Michael Misick soap opera continues. The fairytale is definitely over for the pair who had a Grace Kelly style whirlwind romance.
The romance had started beautifully. Three months after meeting LisaRaye, who appeared in the 2003 sitcom "All of Us," Misick popped the question with a 10-carat diamond ring. Their 2006 wedding at the exclusive Amanyara resort featured an orchid-covered altar and a sugar-spun horse and carriage with miniatures of the couple inside. Vivica Fox and LisaRaye's half-sister, Da Brat, were in the bridal party, and Misick paid $4,000 just to ship her wedding dress there, saying, "I want to give her everything she wants." The couple honeymooned in Bali, which we guess is where you go when you live in Turks and Caicos.
The couple made a social splash in New York as sexy LisaRaye played the role of first lady and Misick, just 41, hugely boosted tourism on the pristine 40-island cluster, where Keith Richards and Bruce Willis have homes along the world's third-biggest barrier reef.
But the marriage deteriorated quickly amidst charges of infidelity. LisaRaye was accused of having an affair with former Miami Heat point guard Gary Payton, who separated from his wife this week. And Misick allowed BET veejay Rocsi to hold court in the mansion while LisaRaye was away, angering his wife.
Payton's spokesman denied it, and BET wouldn't comment on Rocsi.
A friend of the prime minister told us: "LisaRaye is nothing more than a gold digger. She wants a cash settlement upwards of several million dollars."
Jetter shot back: "That's what she should be doing. She deserves spousal support. She hasn't been going on auditions and things, so she devoted her time to him and hasn't been working as much. It's not like she's coming in like Rocsi, just being on BET."
Oh, no she didn't!
There are now rumors that LisaRaye fought with her husband last week because he hired a private investigator who had evidence of her having an affair.
According to a very reliable source, the reason behind LisaRaye’s shocking public meltdown last week was not because her husband, Turks & Caicos Premier Michael Misick, was tapping a much younger chick than herself. It turns out the real reason was LisaRaye found out Misick had hired a private investigator to tail her while she partied it up on the arms of a much younger man here in the states. Apparently, the private investigator collected all the evidence the Premier needed to prove LisaRaye was an adulterer. For LisaRaye this meant two things: she will lose her coveted “First Lady” title (to Rocsi, no less) and her days of raiding the Island coffers to finance her extravagant lifestyle were over. source
The First Lady of Turks and Caicos LisaRaye was spotted at LAX airport. Watch a news report from the Turks and Caicos islands to see a distraught LisaRaye in tears after the incident. The women of Turks and Caicos have also united against the First Lady and said they don't like how she's talking about the Premier to the press. There were rumors of a divorce at the beginning of the couple's marriage.
*Just months into her new marriage LisaRaye had to start dodging rumors about her wedded bliss. The actress and First Lady of the Turks and Ciacos Islands, is taking the negative attention in stride and chalking it up to celebrity, all while denying the rumors the she and new hubby, the Honorable Michael Misick, are having trouble.
Rumors recently surfaced last month that the starlet and the Premiere were headed toward splitsville, built on the grumblings that Misick had fathered a child of a Miami woman and that the people of the islands were not particularly fond of their new First Lady LisaRaye. But the actress says it's all false.
"There were some rumors going around that Michael and I were getting a divorce and that the Islanders were saying they don't see me down there a lot," she reviewed. "I don't really know how these accusations came out that Michael and I are getting a divorce. Especially when I am still in my honeymoon stages right now. It's just not true. I've had a good handful of people calling me.
Being in the business, I've grown to have a thick skin. And I know that when you're hot, people want to talk about you - so I take it and reverse it and say, 'Ok, if you think that my life is that interesting, that you want to talk about it or start gossip, then go ahead." source

There is good news that rapper Master P who is now known by the name P.Miller is going to launch a television network called Better Black Television. Master P made his fortune of the dirty south sound and is now an advocate of G rated profanity free rap music.
Hip-hop mogul P. MILLER is launching his own family-friendly cable network to provide "positive" viewing for the black community.
The star, formerly known as Master P, announced on Thursday (14Aug08) that the new network - titled Better Black Television (BBTV) - will focus on general entert ainment, ranging from drama, comedy, movies, animation, politics and sports, as well as entertainment news.
And Miller has brought a number of celebrities on board BBTV - Oscar-winner Denzel Washington, rap pioneer DJ Kool Herc and NBA basketball player Derek Anderson are among the network's board members.
BBTV CEO Miller says, "I believe that there is a market in our community for a new diverse network that provides a new brand of superior programming that caters to all aspects of television, from reality to original programming."
The new channel will be in direct competition with the existing U.S. network Black Entertainment Television (BET), which also caters for the African American community.
But Miller insists he still has "a great relationship with BET and MTV" and has vowed that he and his rapper/actor son Lil' Romeo "will continue to do work with them and support their networks".
BBTV is set to launch in 2009. source

Here are some performances and Highlights from the BET Awards. We like to mention some of our favorite surprises at the show. Alicia Keys had a historic "girl power" theme with her performance and brought SWV, En Vogue and TLC to the stage. It was nice to see Dawn on stage to form the original En Vogue girl group. We were very happy to see Maxwell make an appearance during the Al Green Tribute with Jill Scott and Anthony Hamilton. Maxwell has been delayed from releasing music for so long but we still can't wait to hear from him. He still sounds and looks good. Click here to see the performance. The couple who had the most chemistry on stage were Ciara and Chris Brown. Chris Brown was electric with Ciara and we could feel the energy between these two that was missing during Chris' performances with Jordin Sparks. Their performance was borderline porno but Ciara worked it well and looked beautiful. We would tell RIhanna to watch out for Ciara but she's going around telling everyone she doesn't love Chris Brown. Rihanna also spoke on The View and said she is not dating Chris Brown so he sounds like he's a free agent. Click here for a full list of winners.

YOUNG JEEZY AND KANYE WEST PERFORMING " PUT ON " @ The 2008 Awards
"I'd like to thank T-Pain for gettin' on the record with me," said Kanye West, a two-time winner Tuesday at the 2008 BET Awards, upon accepting their award for Best Collaboration on the Graduation tune "Good Life." "This man's a genius. What he does, what he writes...we're blessed to be in this man's presence."
The 22-year-old rapper-producer, a featured artist on no less than 18 singles (so far) in 2007 and 2008, entered the evening with a leading five nominations, although his shared win with West was it for now.
West was also named Best Male Hip-Hop Artist for the second time, his first win in that category coming in 2005, when Late Registration was still a new album.
Alicia Keys, the only female winner who was in the house tonight, was named Best Female R&B Artist, and took the opportunity to let the moment sink in.
"I just wanna say that we are so incredible, we are such an incredible people," the platinum-selling songstress said coyly. "We are so beautiful and fly, and everybody wants to be like us...I mostly want to thank all of you that are watching and standing here right now. Without you...I really really appreciate you very much. source
T PAIN & LIL WAYNE A MILLIE 2008 BET AWARD PERFORMANCE
T-Pain and Lil Wayne have owned the music scene over the past year: It seems as if T-Pain's voice has accented half the hits on urban radio, while Lil Wayne, another ubiquitous collaborator, has appeared on the rest. In addition, Lil Wayne just this month scored the year's best-selling album sales debut with 1 million copies sold of his new CD, "Tha Carter III." So it was appropriate that both artists dominated Tuesday's BET Awards with not only their energetic performances but their presence, despite winning just one trophy each. "We're blessed to be in this man's presence," Kanye West, one of music's biggest self-promoters, said of T-Pain when the pair accepted their award for best collaboration for "The Good Life," going on to call T-Pain a "genius." "I'll let y'all know because I'm one of the kings of this game. My opinion counts." West also paid homage to Lil Wayne, calling him "my fiercest competition." "You scared me man," West said, bringing Lil Wayne onstage when West won the trophy for best hip-hop male. "Congratulations on selling over a million records. And they say hip hop is dead." Other highlights from the three-hour ceremony included a girl group reunion; a stirring tribute to the Rev. (and soul legend) Al Green; and topless performance by ripped rapper Nelly. T-Pain, who led the nominees with five nods for his many collaborations — not his own hits — performed with his fellow nominees twice during the three-hour ceremony. He transformed the Shrine Auditorium into a circus with a multi-artist medley that showed his wide-ranging influence during his first appearance. Wearing a spangled top hat, the rapper-singer shared the stage with fellow nominees Flo Rida, Rick Ross, Ludacris and Big Boi, along with a bevy of big-top freaks, including fire eaters and acrobats. "This industry is my circus," said T-Pain. "Ride with the ringleader." source

Jennifer Hudson was on the red carpet for the BET awards. We're a fan of JHud's voluptuous figure but she just looked too stuffed into this outfit and this dress doesn't compliment her curves. Watch the World Premiere for Jennifer Hudson's new music video Spotlight. We think Jennifer looks beautiful in the clip. We love this song. We're glad your music is finally coming out. Way to go Jennifer!
