Friday Talk

Kanye West is in the news again but this time in a good way. He leads the pack with the most nominations for the BET Hip Hop Awards. He was followed by Jay Z and Lil Wayne. If anyone's interested the awards will be hosted by Mike Epps and will take place Oct. 10 at Atlanta's Boisfeuillet Jones Civic Center and will premiere on BET Oct. 27 at 8 p.m. Personally, some of the categories are weird but below are the full nominations :

FASHION

We all know that at the VMA awards Shakira and Pink both wore the same dress. To me there's no question that Shakira wore it better but let me ask y'all your opinion - "Who walked it?":






Also this is my look of the week. I think Kerry Washington looks pretty:



BREAKUP NEWS : Avril Lavigne and her husband of 3 years Deryck Whibley from SUm 41 have split up. I don't know why these people never seem to realise that getting married especially at a young age in the industry is not a good idea. Ah well hope they get through it soon.
