Senior Vice President of Columbia TriStar Pictures Devon Franklin was an honoree of the night and he was spotted looking happy as pie with his wife Meagan Good and their friend Roland Martin.

Pretty yet simple look for Meagan.

Meagan's former "Deception" star Laz Alonso caught up with Best Man Holiday star Melissa DeSousa. *One eyebrow raised to see if anything is going on there...*

Heeey Laz.

And Melissa is looking absolutely gorgeous these days.

Actress Amber Riley was there to sing her face off on stage.

Alfre Woodard has zero f's to give when it comes to shoes.  Can't remember the last time she rocked some heels on a red carpet.  She is totally over the pain and torture.

We barely even recognized Raheem DaVaughn.  Must be the clean shaven face...

D. Woods showed up in a curve hugging red dress.  And she seems unbothered that she's not part of the Danity Kane re-up.

Chris Tucker and Demetria McKinney hit the carpet.

Nephew Tommy repped for the Kappas.

Where have YOU been Joe?

Oh Jaheim.  At least this time he left the purple suit at home.

Bresha Webb of "Love That Girl" kept it colorful on the carpet.

Bronx Man Dies In Emergency Room After Waiting 8 Hours [PHOTOS]

The healthcare system in the United States has long been the target of scrutiny but the case of 30-year-old John Verrier has raised some serious red flags all across the board.

He simply checked himself into Saint Barnabas Hospital's emergency room after complaining of a rash.

Eight hours later, he was dead.

Via ABCLocal:

The patient, a 30-year-old man walked into St. Barnabas Hospital's Emergency Room Sunday night around 10 p.m. complaining about a rash. His vitals were taken and he was told to sit in the packed waiting room until his name was called. At 6:40 the next morning, he was found by a security guard, dead in a waiting room chair.

"He was found stiff blue and cold." "He was there for a while," said a hospital worker.

The ER worker says if the hospital fails to face up to its mistakes, they will happen again.

"In healthcare, I understand it's a business but if people are dying under your watch, something has to be done," he said.

The report also begins stating how Saint Barnabas Hospital is very good at what they do.

Whether ABC is looking not to burn bridges or looking out for employees not involved in this incident, it is not going to bode well for anyone who has a case of the sniffles in the near future.

Kardashian-West Nuptials WILL Be Filmed, Producers To Pay The Multi-Million Dollar Tab

For her third trip down the aisle, Kim Kardashian will be a traditional June bride when she marries Kanye West in France. The entire “fairytale” event WILL be filmed for Keeping Up with the Kardashians, a multi-million dollar affair where most of the costs will be covered by the producers behind their hit E! series.

Reports Radar Online:

“Kim has always wanted to be a June bride and she is finally going to get her wish,” a source close to the couple revealed to Radar.

“Kim and Kanye have narrowed down the wedding location, which is being kept a secret at this point. It will be on the outskirts of Paris.”

Added the insider, “Kim persuaded Kanye to let the cameras roll because E! will pick up most of the cost of the wedding and it’s a lot easier for a network to deal with logistics of a foreign wedding than if it were just the two of them planning it.”

The lovebirds won’t have to worry about security, intrusive photographers or guests with cell phones, explained the source, because the producers will handle the logistics.

“Even though Kim’s marriage to Kris (Humphries) was a disaster, she was very happy with how the wedding and reception turned out,” said the insider.

“It was flawless. Both Kim and Kanye have very high expectations for their wedding. It will be an over-the-top affair and there will be pre-wedding festivities leading up to the big day for their guests. It’ll be like a festival!”

It won’t be at the Palace of Versailles, which denied Kimye’s request to have their wedding at Marie Antoinette’s former digs.

Said our source: “Kim and Kanye really wanted to get married at Versailles and were both hoping to persuade officials during their visit there… ultimately it backfired. It was still a firm no.

“The couple is looking for something grand, but something that can offer privacy and security.”

Ciara She Waited To Tell Her Parents She Was Pregnant

A very pregnant Ciara told E! News host Terrence J that she wouldn’t be busting her signature moves (like the Matrix) this time around and that Future has been an awesome support system:

“There’s some moves that my body won’t let me do like, sit down mama. Slow down.

[Future's] the best. Literally like my best friend and so sweet. He’s been the best support I can have. He’s been to every doctor visit with me so it’s been really cool.

Earlier that night, while on the Grammy Awards red carpet, she also revealed that she waited to tell everyone about her pregnancy, even her parents:

I think it’s important I do things on my time. Some people I know may have asked me questions about whether the [pregnancy] rumor is true and I felt so bad because I told them a story. I even told that to my mom and dad.

I didn’t tell my mom and dad as early as I wanted to because I wanted to see them in person, and with my schedule, I travel so much so it was hard to really be able to tell them, or everyone how I wanted to. Of course my family knows now. It was just important to me, to share something so special, that I do it on my time. You have to get through the first trimester and all those important times, so I just wanted to do it right and do it in a way that I felt was comfortable.

‘Preachers of LA’ Renewed For 2nd Season! Spin-Off Plans Underway

Known for their fiery sermons, community outreach and pure
entertainment it appears that viewers are fascinated with the lives of preachers. And we’ll be seeing more of this type of non-scripted TV, thanks to Preachers of LA. Monday (January 27th), Oxygen announced that the show would return for a second season.

On season one, reality TV junkies got a glimpse into the lives of six high-profile pastors from Los Angeles: pro skateboarder Pastor Jay Haizlip, Grace Jones‘ brother Bishop Noel Jones, Bishop Clarence McClendon, gospel singer Deitrick Haddon, Bishop Ron Gibson and Pastor Wayne Chaney.

A few cast members shared their excitement about returning for another season. Christy Haizlip, Pastor Jay’s wife wrote:

It’s official Season 2 Coming this Fall  #preachersofla #staytuned#hardatwork #oxygen

Deitrick’s new bride, Dominque chimed in seeming exciting but a bit apprehensive

This may be your greatest dream or greatest nightmare,either way, #PreachersofLA WILL be back for a season 2! Airing this summer! @oxygen@preachersofla #spreadtheword

Now the big question is who will NOT return for season 2? From what we’re told season 2 has already began filming. The network hasn’t confirmed the official cast, but who may be apprehensive about returning is Bishop McClendon. During the season, he released a video interview suggesting that one argument (between him and Deitrick) on camera, was intentionally orchestrated by Oxygen producers

What I recognize now is that I was set up to be put in a crossfire.

Spin-off cities are also in the works. Rod Aissa, Senior Vice President, Original Programming and Development for Oxygen Media hinted that the franchise would be branching off to other cities:

‘Preachers of L.A.’ touched the heart strings of our Oxygen viewers. They were captivated by the triumphs and tribulations of these men of God and the amazing women and families that stood alongside them. We look forward to bringing more of these compelling stories to life both in LA and around the country.

Gary, Indiana Woman Pleads Guilty To Selling Her Kids For Sex & Pornography 

While the heinous crimes of Zakieya L. Avery, the mother accused of killing her children in a demonic ritual, virtually make her a shoe-in for the title of "the world's worst mother," Natisha Hillard of Gary, Ind. is making a serious dive at the crown with her maternal struggle.

The 25-year-old mother of two recently plead guilty in U.S. District Court for one count of selling a child for sex and two counts of allowing a child to take part in child pornography.

She allegedly allowed Christopher M. Bour to be alone with her oldest daughter (who was three-years-old at the time) as he touched her sexually on camera and four-month-old toddler was photographed in a similar manner.

It may sound like a sick fetish Hillard shared with Bour but she simply stated she did it solely for the money

A House Divided: Is T.I. And Tiny’s Family Hustling Towards A Divorce? (Details)

Tiny said “It Ain’t Nothin’ To Cut That B***h Off” is her favorite song right now and T.I. is talking a whole lotta change. What’s happening to “The Family Hustle?”

Reports Bossip:

Troubleman posted this troubled gram on Saturday, suggesting that change had arrived rather abruptly (in the last 24 hours) and he wasn’t letting anybody take what was his away (hmmm HALF OF EVERYTHING right?). It might have just seemed rather random and cryptic had Tiny not taken to her Instagram as well.

For those of you who don’t recognize the refrain, Tiny is talking about K Camp’s new hit “Cut Her Off.”

And now…a report according to Sandra Rose:

Sandrarose.com reached out to a source in T.I.’s camp, who was with the rapper in Los Angeles to attend the 56 Annual Grammy Awards. According to my source, T.I. and Tiny traveled together to LA — and as far as the source knows, there are no plans for a divorce. All couples experience ups and downs in the course of their relationship. In Tiny and T.I.’s case, the pressure is unrelenting. For instance, there are rumors that T.I. recently violated Tiny’s trust by sleeping with one of her female friends. But that’s nothing new.

Another rumor has it that T.I. refuses to support Tiny’s new business venture, a line of tequila, because he feels it sends the wrong message to their young fans. T.I. and Tiny have 2 sons together. T.I. also has 3 children with other women, and Tiny has a daughter from a previous relationship

WOW…Stay tuned!
