KEKE PALMER IS THE ULTIMATE HUSTLER...

Keke Palmer is one of our favorite young actresses. Loved her in that spelling bee movie. Now we're learning that she recently graduated received her high school diploma (a year early!), her sophomore album is being released this fall via Interscope Records, and she announced the the launch of her blog tomorrow. In addition, she recently won BET's 2010 "Young Stars" Award. The girl is on fiyah and she's only 16! She is definitely talented, smart and motivated. All of the ingredients necessary for success. We will continue to support her in her endeavors. She's the bizness! [The YBF]

We heard (Twitter) Chris Brown did the dang thing with his MJ tribute (tears and all... were they for MJ, or his career?), Alicia Keys glowed as she performed her last performance while pregnant, Prince received a lifetime achievement award, and El Debarge made a "comeback performance"?-- for those two alone it's worth a DVR look. Wait, there's more...
