Friends, family, and fans gathered at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles to celebrate the life of Michael Jackson.
Mariah Carey re-teamed with Trey Lorenz for a rousing duet of the Jackson 5 classic “I’ll Be There.” The duo originally performed the song in 1992 during Mariah’s award-winning “MTV Unplugged” appearance.
Lionel Richie serenaded the packed house with a gospel-infused number.
Alicia Keys was quite possibly the best-dressed star at the BET Awards. The songbird’s embellished cocktail frock, complete with sheer sleeves, and bejeweled strappy sandals were simply stunning.
Chaka Khan always stands out in a crowd! This year, the Grammy-winning singer brought a touch of goth to the BET Awards.
None of you have children/grandchildren who “sag” their pants but maybe you know of someone who does. This would be a good thing to read at a Youth Program.

Letter from a college student
The other day, a friend of mine was visiting me in the lobby of my dorm just to chat while her laundry was drying. As we were chatting, two young freshmen came by. One of the boys wanted to ‘talk’ to my friend (as in date). She asked him how old they were, and both of the boys replied 18. My friend and I both laughed because we are both 22 years old. After my friend left, the young men were still hanging around and one wanted to know how he could gain her interest.
The first thing I told him to do was to pull up his pants! He asked why, and then he said “I liked saggin’ my pants”. I told them to come over to my computer and spell the word saggin’. Then I told him to write the word saggin’ backwards.
