Alicia Debuts "Typewriter," Justin Teams Up With Nicki, and Rihanna Wins Then Loses to Chris Brown at BET Awards

Katie Henry — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 09:49:19 PDT

The BET Awards celebrated the largest names in hip-hop and R&B with wild fashion, high-energy dance routines, and a mini scandal at LA's Shrine Auditorium last night. The show kicked off with a mashup of hits from Mary J. Blige before the awards were dished out to the night's winners. Taking a break from touring with Britney Spears, Nicki Minaj joined Justin Bieber to present the best male hip-hop artist award to Kanye West. Nicki didn't go home empty handed as she took home the honors for best female hip-hop artist. Justin was without his girlfriend, Selena Gomez, but he was in the company of pals Jaden and Willow Smith, who stepped out with their parents, Will and Jada, and the siblings shared the win in the young stars category.

The night was full of incredible performances including a medley of hits and the debut of a new single, "Typewriter," from Alicia Keys, who was also marking the 10-year anniversary of her mega hit album Songs in A Minor. Most of the evening went down without a hitch, but there was a critical mix-up in BET's viewer's choice category when Chris Brown was announced the winner, then it was switched to Rihanna and Drake. Turns out Chris was the actual winner, and the error was due to teleprompter confusion, though Drake admittedly felt "awkward" about the error. Chris finished out the evening with four awards while Jennifer Hudson grabbed the win for best female R&B artist and Patti LaBelle was recognized with a lifetime achievement award - get the full list of BET winners here!

Halle Berry flashed some strategic skin last night at the FiFi Awards, held at NYC's Lincoln Center. She posed for photos on the red carpet decked out in a revealing black Halston dress, and later caught up with friends like Nate Berkus and Mary J. Blige inside. It was an evening dedicated to honoring the best of the fragrance world, and Halle walked away with the Celebrity Fragrance of the Year statue for her work building a mini-empire with her Halle by Halle Berry, Pure Orchid, and Reveal. Fergie had husband Josh Duhamel on hand to pick up her New Celebrity Fragrance of the Year prize due to her 2011 release Outspoken by Fergie. Her bright yellow BCBG Max Azria dress added a pop of color to the proceedings, though Halle's main man, Olivier Martinez, wasn't able to attend.

Jaime Richards — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 04:00:40 PST

While stars like Elizabeth Taylor, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Paris Hilton were adding even more fragrances to their celebrity fragrance empires, a new kind of star dominated the market this year: the musician.

This year, Shakira launched S by Shakira ($28), Katy Perry rolled out Katy Perry Purr ($45-$65), Beyoncé Knowles got hot with Beyoncé Heat ($39-$49), Fergie released Outspoken ($28), and Jordin Sparks launched Because of You ($13). Mary J. Blige even set records after selling 50,000 units of her fragrance, My Life ($55), on HSN.

The trend is just getting started, as even more crooners, like Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, and Justin Bieber are set to launch their own celebrity fragrances in the future. Have you tried any of the rocking new scents mentioned above?

Would You Buy a Fragrance You Haven't Smelled?

BellaSugar — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 12:01:52 PDT

Mary J. Blige had a big weekend on HSN, selling 50,000 units of her fragrance, My Life - the fastest-selling scent in HSN's history, making an estimated $2.7 million. (One dollar from each sale benefits her charity, FFAWN.) Because the scent is available only through HSN, it's safe to say that very few people smelled My Life before buying it. We're big fans of Mary J., but would we buy a fragrance without smelling it first? Probably not. What about you - would you shop before sniffing?
