BET 2010 Red Carpet Pictures

This years BET award show was spectacular. With amazing performances by stars like Kanye West and Chris Brown's unforgetable Micheal Jackson tribute as he teared up in between.

And of course, what's an award show without the stars who get dekked out for them.

Ashanti was wearing a long red gown with ruffled sleeves. I'm not feeling the bottom half of this dress much. A bit too simple.

Brandy looked perfect in a grey coccoon dress. From the hair, to the shoes and the wardrobe: I love it ALL!

Fergie also looking stunning in her black and white dress with the ruffled back. Anyone else noticing that ruffles are really taking over the red carpets a second year in a row? I didn't like the shoes she paired it with though.

Jada Pinkett... I expected something else from the Hawthorne star. Specially since seeing her hot outfits in recent appearances promoting the return of her show. She seems to be wearing one of this seasons trends - hotpants (I have a post coming out about this) - and sadly... I'm not fond of these panty shorts.

Just for fun: Kid N Play. Haven't seen these two in ages.

Nia Long is always one of my favorites on the Red Carpet and though she wore a rather simple silhouette, the pop of color and perfect fit make this whole look a winner.

Latest on Chris Brown assaulting Rihanna with deadly weapon and other news

Wrigley's is now suspending Double Mint ads featuring the 19 yr old singer until "things get cleared up". The company stopped short of saying they will drop the troubled R&B star completely. Wrigely also added that the 19-year-old should be "afforded the same due process as any citizen." Something with which I couldn't agree more.

Worse, is that Chris Brown may be looking at 9 years in prison. This due to the fact that he wasn't booked for domestic abuse, but instead for making serious threats, which is much serious and can get you double time in jail.

Law enforcement sources tell us they typically book a suspect for the most
serious crime they can be charged with -- it's then up to the D.A. to file any
additional charges.Given there were allegedly visible injuries, the crime of
making criminal threats is punishable by up to nine years in prison. Domestic
abuse is four years.

Innitially Chris was also booked for assault with a deadly weapon, but later turned out the police report wasn't correct and there was no weapon involved. Just Chris Browns fists of fury.

Rumor has it he hit and bit her several times, yet she isn't wanting to press charges.

Chris Brown Assaults Rihanna

Chris Brown assaulted his girlfriend R&B singer Rihanna after both attended the 2009 Pre-Grammy Gala & Salute (above). Chris turned himself in Sunday evening after the two canceled their Grammy appearances. Both were nominees.

E! News:

A spokeswoman for Brown's label declined comment. Rihanna's publicist, Amanda
Silverman, would only tell E! News that the 20-year-old "Disturbia" singer was
involved in an unspecified traffic mishap. "Rihanna is well," the rep said.
"Thank you for concern and support."Per department policy, police declined to
identify the alleged victim in the incident, which occurred about 12:30 a.m. in
the Hancock Park area, apparently as the two were heading home from Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammy bash, where they had been all smiles.In a statement, police say Brown and his companion "became involved in an argument. After stopping his car, Brown and the woman got out and the argument escalated. The woman suffered visible injuries and identified Brown as her attacker."By the time officers arrived on the scene, Brown had split.

As of this post, Chris Brown has already posted bail and been released, according to TMZ. And all this right before the Grammy's.

Are you still a Chris Brown fan? What's your opinion on all this?
