COMMON & T-PAIN GIVE EACH OTHER DAP ON THE RED CARPET AT THE 2008 BET HIP-HOP AWARDS

ATLANTA // SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18TH 2008 »
AIRDATE: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23RD 2008 ON BET @ 8 PM EST. The 2008 BET HIp-Hop Awards went down in Atlanta over the weekend, and here you can check out the photos from the red carpet. If you haven’t heard yet, Katt Williams was nixed from his hosting duties, and T-Pain filled in for the comedian at the last minute. BET made up some bogus story talking about how Katt bet T-Pain he couldn’t beat him in a break dance battle, and how Katt’s hosting duties were up for grabs to whoever won. It later came to light that Williams had been arrested on the morning of the show. Sound familiar, anyone? *Cough* T.I. *cough* got arrested *cough* last year *cough* and he was *cough* supposed to perform. I’m just saying…

Anyway, follow the break to check out photos of Ciara, T.I., Flo Rida, Rick Ross, and more all on the red carpet at the ‘08 BET HIp-Hop awards.

R&B singer Monica is the proud mother of a second baby boy. The yet-to-be-named infant was born Tuesday afternoon, reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution But not all hope is lost … he has a middle name! And according to Monica’s cousin and manager Melinda Dancil, his middle name is Montez, and weighed in at 5 lbs., 6 oz. and was 19½ inches long. Dancil tells the paper that mother and baby are fine.

Monica gave birth to her first child, Rodney Ramone Hill III, aka “Lil Rock”, in May 2005. In October 2007 Monica renewed her contract with J Records. For now, she is writing and putting songs together for her fifth studio album, which will be released sometime this year, with the help of producer/friend Missy Elliott, producer Bryan Michael Cox, and songwriter Ne-Yo.

Solange better pop out another one before Lil Rock’s new brother gets of age. Baby Daniel needs a shanking partner too! I’m sure he can take Lil Rock and his baby brother with his hands tied behind his back though. His uncle is JAY-Z!

UPDATE: According to a message sent to photographer/blogger Sandra Rose from Monica herself, the baby’s name is Romelo, which makes his full name Romelo Montez HIll. Congratulations on the new addition Monica!
