It was absolutely sizzling on the red carpet for the BET Awards 2009 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles yesterday, and I'm not referring to the soaring temperature in the parking lot! The event was quickly restructured as a Michael Jackson tribute and everyone was there looking their best! Here is my first set of photos, including Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Ciara, BOTH Uhuras: Zoe Saldana from the new movie, and the original, Nichelle Nichols, Kanye West and his girlfriend, Amber Rose, & of course my new BFF Wyclef Jean! I got to meet Wyclef earlier for breakfast at ihop with a small group of fans, so when he saw me on the carpet he came right over to shake my hand! This really irritated the other photogs I'm sure. After the arrivals, the media was brought inside to watch the show from the (air conditioned!) press room, and they brought some of the winners by to get photos with the awards. Wyclef was being honored with a Humanitarian Award, and when he came to the press room after getting the award, Wyclef again singled me out in the crowd and made me feel pretty special, even telling his producer Jerry Wonder to video me shooting pictures! Clearly, I have entered Bizzarro world and the hunter has become the hunted! Thanks again Wyclef, for letting me share that moment with you!
