Cee Lo Dresses as Patti LaBelle for Tribute, Lloyd Upset



Getty Images (2) Cee Lo Green's exuberant awards show outfits are becoming legendary and at Sunday night's (June 26) BET Awards he took it to a whole new level.

Performing a tribute to Patti LaBelle, who was the Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, Green appeared in a colorful sequin jacket and spiky black wig, which he wore in an effort to mimic the singer's famous '80s hairdo, as he belted out her hit 'Somebody Loves You.'

While the crowd responded positively to his attempt at dressing up just like LaBelle, he also slipped up, addressing the audience as "motherf---ers," before the censors had time to block the expletive, which aired live on the East Coast, but was removed for the West Coast feed.

Singer Marsha Ambrosious and gospel star Shirley Ceaser also lent their pipes to the tribute before LaBelle herself took the stage to perform a few of her hits including 'Lady Marmalade.'

While the singer seemed genuinely moved and grateful for the acknowledgement of her contribution to the music world, there was one person that was none too happy about being shut out of honoring LaBelle: R&B crooner Lloyd.

The Atlanta native tapped the soul singer for the remix of his song 'Lay It Down,' which is a sample of LaBelle's 'Love, Need and Want You.' Following the show, the 25-year-old publicly blasted BET for not including him in the performance. "I'm just very passionate," Lloyd told the Boombox of his reaction to the snub. "I'm just passionate about my music and my art, and I'm passionate about being recognized for that, being the only young person of my generation to work with the likes of Patti LaBelle. Blame me if you want but I'm just passionate."

Comedies have out grown many main streams audiences, from Superbad, Pineapple Express, Knocked Up, The Hangover even, now another comedy of such high class perseverance and stature has been released upon the world. Written/Co-starring Kristen Wiig, seen as a Bridesmaid set out against her wits and budget to have the time of her life along with some of her friends, with a bunch of high class, lower class, odd, mad, posh, pompous, and aggravating gal's teamed up for the supervisee of friendship, relationships, the flow of things, the long and short of what it is? The question of love and uncanny love (take Jon Hamm's character of great arrogance and self love) the right, the wrong, emotions twirled into two, all visualised and written with both heart warming real moments, and just the undeniable, that in all truth and honesty can be seen as a true vivid divide of life, but just not as crude and manically played out as it is here.

What is so marvellous is the set up of the two opposing leads. Wiig's Annie is sweet, a natural cake maker, having a failed business and relationship always slapped in her face while going through the town, pondering on her love for cake and love!

Next up is Helen, a self adored, self reliant, self afflicted pompous aristocrat, in one summery a whole total nuisance throughout, played sparklingly by Rose Byrne who as an actress can do all categories, sincere dramatisation and trauma and depending mum in INSIDIOUS and very sweet loving ditzy Jackie Q. Showing her triumph and nuance in the art of everything, music acting and comedy and also a very understated and rated role in X-men First Class (also very wasted). What is brilliant is the comedic timing, the structure, the aroma they let off when watching, transporting you within the orb of it all, it's compassionate, and it's benevolently real and true to love.

Following Annie must arrange child hood friend's wedding, while living and renting in a flat with two very odd brother and sister, all while having a sex fling, with rich charismatically flawed selfish but astoundingly detrimental Ted played marvellously and uncredited-ly by Jon Hamm. Soon follows tantrums, laughs, farts, weird off beat friends, an actress compared to 2009's hit The Hangovers Alan, how his part is to play in the film, by the looks of the film no she isn't, that's not fair, overall this film a new fresh comedy, fun, smart, sharp, Wiig doing her all out Saturday Night Live characterisations in a smartly premised sequence on an airplane.

Though the tie in with Chris O'Dowds police officer Nathan is often dropped at the first sight of being Sentimental or laughable or just boring, as their relationships general morose and ordeal is key to Annie's story, but often flat lined then revived, then there's the producers going on: "Oh no are we losing it again, no we got it back! The kinetic link, the line where we think it is sweet and heart warming, or shall be piling in more fart/poop gags? Yes they make good use to the poop and Gath fart gags and sexual misgivings but it's still a very well orchestrated and maundered and articulated script that is transformed into something pink, light, fluffy, but with a macho punch for anyone to tell the girls different. In odd spots it drags, but it's just a cleverly bountiful ample sufficient Magnum opus.
