BET Awards Brought Out The Best Red Carpet Fashions Of 2008

The Oscars were a snooze. The MTV Movie Awards were a disgrace. The Bravo A-Lists were a farce. Thank God for the BETs. A great red carpet is made up of elegance, panache, star power and just a pinch of exhibitionism. And the BET Awards, held at LA's Shrine Auditorium last night, had it all, kids. Rihanna, Jennifer Hudson, Terrence Howard, Alicia Keys, Gabrielle Union, Jordin Sparks and more stars than there are in the heavens...all after the jump.

Hollywood Locates Source Of Crappy Movie Receipts: Women Actors!

The tough thing about being one of those people who is paid to summon outrage all day is that inevitably it happens that you are sitting there, and you grab hold of a specimen of such unadulterated, 99.44 pure inconceivably outrageous outrageousness, and you just don't have it in you to do anything but blockquote a whole section:

Warner Bros president of production Jeff Robinov has made a new decree that "We are no longer doing movies with women in the lead". This Neanderthal thinking comes after both Jodie Foster's 'The Brave One' ... and Nicole Kidman's 'The Invasion' (as if three different directors didn't have something to do with the awfulness of the gross receipts) under-performed at the box office recently.

Terrence Howard Continues To Freak Us Out

Terrence Howard Thinks Women Are Unclean And Dressed Like Whores

"I like women who look like me. Generally, you're attracted to women who look like you, because the most beautiful thing in nature is your own reflection."

"If a relationship is built on sexuality, it won't last long. Now I'm completely chaste through a relationship unless I get married. I don't believe in premarital sex. It enabled me to date three or four women at the same time, because as long as I wasn't having sex with them, I could always just walk away. There were some [past girlfriends] who pushed for sex, and sometimes they won. Afterward, I would feel unclean, like I'd compromised my own values. So I would have to let them go because they didn't help me to be a stronger person."
