Kanye West, his light bright red suit, and a bevy of model chicks hit the Saturday Night Live stage for a powerful recreation of his “Power” video. He then used a similar vision for “Runaway,” where he was joined onstage by Pusha T.
Breaking 36 seasons of SNL convention, Kanye converted SNL’s the signature black, instrument filled stage to an all white, backlit canvas.

Mike Epps (pictured above with his wife Michelle) hosted the 2010 BET Hip-Hop awards last weekend at the Atlanta Civic Center.? The awards show went off without no major catastrophes… well, besides that Waka Flocka situation, but I’ll tell you about that later.
First things first…. the “black” carpet was covered with all of the hometown favs. From Waka Flocka Flame to Gucci Mane to B.o.B. and Big Boi. It was almost like just another day at Greenbriar Mall…
Waka Flocka played with his jewels…

Meet Mario Dewar Bennett aka the singer known as Mario (pronounced Mary-o). Mary-o was arrest last night after he got in an altercation with his MOM!!
According to TMZ:
Mario’s mother Shawntia Hardaway — a former heroin addict — told cops the former “Dancing with the Stars” contestant had been “throwing and damaging property” … and pushed her around with his hands and forearms.
Cops say they found several broken items inside the apartment — including a broken china cabinet, a busted mirror and a hole in the closet door.
Mario’s mother also told police the 24-year-old singer had attacked her earlier in the week — in which he pushed her “eight feet into a living room wall, where Ms. Hardaway hit her head on the wall.”
Mary-0 was arrested in Baltimore and charged with 2nd degree assault. (CLICK HERE to read the probable cause statement where Mary-O’s mom referred to him as a mental case). You’ve got to be crazy to beat up your mom right? *shrug*
Mario has since been released on $50,000 bond.
I have no words for this motherbeater…

What the hell is going on with this outfit? The crop pants combined with those shoulder pads all get two-snaps up in z-formation. Somebody’s been “experimenting” a lil too much on the road.
