Essence Mag honors 'Black Women in Music.'

Mary J. Blige received top honor last night at Essence Magazine's Black Women in Music event. Her husband Kendu was there cheesing for the cameras, too. UGH. He so ugly...iRefuse to post a pic of him since iDon't have to. #whogonecheckmeboo

But get into these pics I copped from The Young Black & Fabulous:






















Isn't Melanie Fiona showing out on the left?! I hope she's attending the Grammy's this Sunday! I'd love to see what she wears. And, Ledisi looking cute on the right. I'm loving that pump!











































This pic of Taraji P. Henson & Mary J. is begging for a caption and Elise Neal looking all golden.

There's tons more pics here.

Fiona 'kills' Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Melanie Fiona stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live late Tuesday night to promote her album The Bridge and later annihilated the stage with a performance of her recent #1 song, "It Kills Me."



She sounds different live from her recordings. I'm still debating if I like that or not.

What do you think?!
