I’m sure you’ve heard by now that teen sensation Justin Bieber has been nominated for a 2010 BET Award for “Best New Artist.”
Justin just so happens to be White and BET just happens to stand for “Black Entertainment Television.”
All of that is irrelevant I guess because it’s not unheard of for the network to honor non-Black artists (Justin Timberlake and Eminem have each been nominated before)… but the question remains about Justin’s cross-over appeal.
Reactions vary, but BET’s Stephen Hill feels that Justin is the total package, “He makes the type of music our audience likes.“‘
[Sidebar: So does Lady GaGa but I don’t see her on the list…]

Slickback Terrence Howard was spotted giving some classic side-eye action to director Jon Favreau during an autograph signing for “Iron Man.” Is it me, or does T look like he wants to slap a mutha? 😯 Was Jon stealing his shine?…Did Slick not like the picture on the poster…did he not approve of the director’s choice of cufflinks? Oh…I know, he probably just realized he forgot his babywipes! Whatever the case, you already know it’s hard out there for a pimp! <—I had to do it.
