Ok, somebody obviously done told us wrong because Beyonce and Jay Z did not open the BET Awards as previously thought. Instead BET gave Jennifer Holiday the gift of a lifetime by allowing her to duet with J. Hudson on the Dreamgirls anthem, And I’m Telling You. I must say it was a big surprise to see Jennifer Holiday take the stage but it was a pleasant surprise nonetheless. I think both Jennifer’s did an excellent job, if not a bit much at the end. Sill, this year’s show is an upgrade from last year’s and keep getting better.

So what do you guys think so far… ?

Raptress Eve is relaunching her Fetish clothing line which first debuted back in 2003 but was quickly dropped due to problems with the partnering company, INNOVI GROUP. Eve admits to not liking the original line which she says had too many studs and rhinestones and was simply too brand based. Eve says the relaunch will reflect more of her personal style which is grown up, sexy and classy. Also on board is the new partnering company of Signature Apparel. The end result is a new contemporary sportswear line that includes high waisted jeans (yikes), leather jackets, and logo shirts. Expect the newly revamped Fetish to hit stores near you this fall.

Rapper Eve is set to take the reigns over on BET by guest hosting their Rap City show all next week. BET also plans to address the absence of women in rap music. Roxanne Shante, DJ Jazzy Joyce, MC Lyte, Remy Ma and others will also stop by to give their prospective on the disappearing female rapper syndrome that I actually wrote about some weeks ago.

You guys know how we do things around here. Every Friday we post a small collection of photos that crossed our desk earlier in the week but for one reason or another were not featured in any articles. This week we will start things off a little differently by taking a trip down memory lane. I’m sure you all recognize the beautiful couple in the pics below. It is none other than Usher and his then girlfriend, Rozanda Chili Thomas. They were such a cute couple and call me crazy- but doesn’t Usher’s new fiancé look like an older version of Chili?

Eve: The Last Female Rapper. Was I dream-ing? Nope. That’s what the promotional flier said. How could that be? How could rap music, an art form that isn’t even 40 years old yet, end up with only one female MC left? Well to be honest- the producers of these fliers were taking great liberties by calling Eve the last female rapper. She isn’t so much the last as she is the only one that hasn’t released an album lately that flopped. Eve has been MIA from the rap scene for a while now, but if my memory serves me correctly- her last album didn’t exactly set the world on fire. Still, the idea that Eve was the last female MC left got me to wondering where exactly did all the female rappers go?

Rapper Eve made her first public appearance since being arrested for DUI at Radio One’s Summer Fest Concert over the weekend. The sista took to the stage and performed a medley of her hits as well as a few tracks from her upcoming album. After the concert Eve held a meet and greet where she spoke to the press and rubbed elbows with various radio personalities and programmers. As expected, Eve was very tight lipped about her arrest as well as the late night jail visit actor Sean Penn paid her. However, seeing as though she was photographed talking to Jamie Foster Brown, I’m sure it’s a safe bet to say that we will be reading the full story in an upcoming issue of Sister2Sister Magazine.

As always at the end of every week we like to post various pics that came across our desk that didn’t get used in feature articles during the week. Today’s batch is really a treat as we have a new photo shoot by Halle Berry taken at the Four Seasons Hotel last month, pics of a reclusive Sanaa Lathan and great shots from Vanity Fair’s Hip Hop issue last year. Starting things off is of course Halle below…
