As we all know, The 2010 BET Awards took place last night (June 27) and BGG has got you covered on all the aspects of the ceremony from the winners to the performances, but now it’s time to talk about the FASHION. My, my, my, what is there to say? Some celebs sizzled immensely while others fizzled horribly.  Of course the usual suspects were there, from a glowing Ciara to an Avatar looking Jada Pinkett-Smith. Much of the fashion and style or lack thereof was beyond boring, thus not deemed post-worthy IMO. Nonetheless, there are certain looks that must be discussed. Case in  point the Best Dressed, Worst Dressed and the Somewhere In Between looks from the BET Awards.

While some starlets should immediately send their stylist  a bouquet of flowers, others should run to a new stylist and never look back.

Fonzworth Bentley has resurfaced with a message to African-Americans and hip-hop with his new track “Fireside Chat.” “It’s kinda heavy for some heads,” said Bentley. “Some kids, it’s gonna be heavy for them. They don’t wanna be reminded they have a responsibility.”

The track essentially calls out the current state of hip-hop, demanding more substance and challenges the hip-hop and African-American community to take more responsibility.

We here at BGG just can’t get enough of Mr. Bentley. Really, we can’t.

We told you all about Fonzworth Bentley’s stand against homophobia during an episode earlier in the season of his reality show, From G’s to Gents. [See, Fonzworth Bentley Takes A Stand Against Homophobia]. And during the reunion special that aired last night on MTV, he did us proud once again.

The reunion show revisited an incident that occurred earlier in the season when one contestant, Macho, was perceived to be gay and coming on to another contestant, A-Felon.

Fonzworth expressed to the group his belief that “gay” is used whenever someone wants to damage a guy’s cred and then posed the question to the group: “Why do you think that street life is so homophobic?”

I almost fainted!

Fahim, the most brolic of the former contestants responded, “Where I come from you’re not comfortable with it….it’s not out there…that word [homophobia] should be crossed out.”

Hmmmm, food for thought: Is the Black LGBT’s lack of visibility perpetuating homophobia?

Fonzworth closed out the discussion by saying: Read the rest of this entry »

Fonzworth Bentley appeared yesterday on shock jock diva Wendy Williams’ radio show, The Experience. Rocking his new-found McClendon haircut, Fonzworth was there to promote the finale of the second season of his MTV reality show, From G’s to Gents.

In true Wendy fashion, the interview went off course from promotion of Fonzworth’s show to what listeners really wanted to know – the T of course.

Fonzworth announced to Wendy and her listeners that he is still with actress girlfriend Faune A. Chambers. Fonzworth further revealed he gave Faune a promise ring this past Valentine’s day (’09). Promise of what? Well marriage, what else?!

Now you know it wouldn’t be a Wendy show without the infamous how you doin’ question.

As expected, Fonzworth denied Wendy’s insinuations of him being gay and any affiliation with the Swagger Club. For those who don’t know, the Swagger Club is a club for gay men who are on the down low.

Wendy wasn’t too convinced, but then again, is she ever. Hahaha.
