Trina arrived looking like herself though. And yes, we think she looks great.
Nicki, who looked all the way ready for fall in these black tights and flirty gold foil & black skirt and matching long sleeved blouse, accepted and shared the Songwriter of the Year crown with Benny Blanco by each writing four songs that rank among the year’s most-performed.

And Nicki Minaj’s “Starships” earned Song of the Year honors as she wrote it herself along with a few others.
Weezy & his Cash Money crew, including Juvenile (WHERE YOU BEEN JUVE?) accepted an award from BMI's head honcho Catherine Brewton and co-hos Ray-J. Plus Slim & Baby copped the ICON Award.

Will Smith Ex Wife is Beefing with his SURRENT Wife?
Will Smith Ex and Current wife is beefing? According to Jacky Jasper (HSK) it’s true - That’s what sources say Sheree Fletcher indirectly tweeted to Jada — in retaliation of Mrs. Smith’s apparent Facebook fire at the ‘Hollywood Exes’ cast member.
That’s after Sheree Fletcher seemed to become the center of JPS’ popular “Letter to a Friend” FB column. In the post, Jada address’ what’s said to be Will Smith’s lack of ‘kind or considerate’ manners towards his Hollywood Ex — basically narrowing it down to “the friend” needing to accept it as “a painful truth.” OUCH!!!
Check it:
This isn’t the first time Jada has used social media as a took to take jabs at Sheree. Back in February, this is what JPS posted:
Did Jada once say, “When Will asked me to get married, I said, ‘Understand this, there will be no divorce. So, you might be in one bedroom and I might be in another, but we’re gonna be under the same roof and we’re gonna be married’.”? Of course … Just ask Queen Latifah.
'I am NOT pregnant': Kelly Clarkson pours cold water on claims she is expecting first child... and reveals she plans to elope
The moment she announced she was ditching plans for a big white wedding to run off and marry her fiance alone, it was assumed she was expecting her first child.
But American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson has taken to Twitter to assure fans this is no shotgun wedding to Brandon Blackstock.
The Since U Been Gone singer tweeted that the reason for their decision was simply that the couple wanted an intimate ceremony.
She posted: 'FYI ....Brandon & I are getting married & no I am not pregnant. We are eloping for one reason only. We both want an intimate ceremony.'
The rumour mill began in earnest after the 31 year-old quickly scrapped arrangements for a lavish ceremony.
Kelly had already announced plans for a spectacular affair to be held this October and recently released a set of beautiful engagement photographs.
But she gave her biggest hint yet that she was becoming disenchanted with the wedding planning.
She told On Air with Ryan Seacrest: 'It's (the wedding) two months away. It's end of October. I'm so over it. It's so overwhelming.
'We're just doing a lot: touring and the wedding and the Christmas album, so I'm over the wedding part.'
And as for children, at the moment Kelly said she was more than happy being a stepmother to Brandon's young son and daughter from his previous marriage - Savannah, aged 11 and Seth just seven.
The youngsters will be the only guests at the paired-down wedding.
'I have a 12 year-old and a six year-old now after being single for six years,' she told Seacrest.
'We all live together and everything . . . it's so different, but it's perfect.'
Paula Deen reaches settlement deal with the former employee in workplace discrimination lawsuit that ruined her career
Deen and her brother, Bubba Hiers, signed an undisclosed settlement agreement with former employee Lisa Jackson
A federal judge in Georgia has dismissed the lawsuit against celebrity chef Paula Deen and her brother after the pair was able to reach a settlement deal with the plaintiff in the case, who claimed she was the victim of workplace discrimination and harassment.
Lisa Jackson sued Deen and her brother, Bubba Hiers, last year saying she was subjected to sexual harassment and racist attitudes during the five years she worked at their restaurant, Uncle Bubba's Seafood and Oyster House.
Earlier this month, the same judge tossed out race discrimination claims by a former Savannah restaurant manager whose lawsuit against Deen ended up causing her to lose nearly all of her culinary empire.
But U.S. District Court Judge William T. Moore Jr. ruled Monday that Jackson, who is white, has no standing to sue them for race discrimination.
‘The Court concludes that Plaintiff is not an aggrieved party under Title VII because her interests are not those arguably sought to be protected by that statue,’ wrote Moore. ‘At best, Plaintiff is an accidental victim of the alleged racial discrimination. There are no allegations that Defendant Hiers's racially offensive comments were either directed toward Plaintiff or made with the intent to harass her.’
WTOC in Savannah is reporting that the details of the settlement are yet to be disclosed, but that Deen, Hiers and Jackson each have signed off on the agreement.
According to TMZ, Jackson tried claiming that she has a biracial person in her family and was thus a victim of Deen's racist remarks.
The ruling leaves intact Jackson's sexual harassment claims stemming from her five years as an employee of Uncle Bubba’s and The Lady and Sons in Savannah. Jackson claims Hiers’ and Deen’s conduct—including violent acts, discrimination and racism—led to the end of her employment.
Deen responded to the news that the race discrimination claims were tossed through her lawyers after the judges ruling.discrimination charges Monday.
Ironically, a judge threw out the race discrimination charges Last week
‘We are pleased with the Court's ruling today that Lisa Jackson's claims of race discrimination have been dismissed,’ Deen's representatives told CNN. ‘As Ms. Deen has stated before, she is confident that those who truly know how she lives her life know that she believes in equal opportunity, kindness and fairness for everyone.’
Meanwhile, Deen has lost a slew of major endorsement, book, and television deals since admitting in a deposition to using racist language.
The embattled TV chef even lost the gig that made her famous as the Food Network chose not to renew Deen’s contract after 11 years with the cable network. Deen lent her culinary talents to three separate shows.
Deen’s 15th cookbook initially shot to the top of Amazon’s pre-order list, but was subsequently cancelled by publisher Ballantine Books.
The disgraced chef also lost deals with Smithfield Foods, QVC, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Sears and others.
Trayvon’s Martin’s death creates a storyline for Law and Order SUV!
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit has always featured episodes that were straight from some of the most controversial headlines and it looks like this tradition will continue in the show’s 15th season.
The drama is currently filming an episode that looks to be inspired by one of the biggest and most controversial legal stories of the year: the shooting of Trayvon Martin and the trial of George Zimmerman. Based on these photos that were taken on the set Tuesday, SVU is taking on the case that shocked and outraged the nation.
According to the Daily Mail, Cybill Shepard has been tasked to play a vigilante-like character who killed a black teenager named Mehcad. Arrested Development‘s Jeffrey Tambor is playing her lawyer, and the scene filmed yesterday involved a protest very much like the ones held during Zimmerman’s trial in July. Extras can be seen holding signs almost identical to the ones created to mourn Trayvon Martin.
Castmembers Mariska Hargitay, Richard Belzer, Raul Esparza and Ice-T were also filming at the protest scenes. The episode is allegedly titled “American Tragedy.”
When asked if this episode was in fact based on the Trayvon Martin case, NBC would only say: “SVU is fiction.”
This is not the first time SVU has tackled mainstream cases. Last season, the series aired an episode featuring a hip-hop star named Caleb Bryant accused of physically assaulting his girlfriend Micha, who is also a famous singer. This episode was linked to the domestic case involving Chris Brown and Rihanna.
The new season of Law & Order: SVU premieres Sept. 25 on NBC.
