It was a family affair as T.I. hosted a fashion show for his AKOO clothing line in Atlanta last night. The King and his queen Tiny held court with Tip’s mother and their children, who sported some of the runway fashions and even performed. The star-studded affair, hosted by comedian Kevin Hart, drew celebs such as Keri Hilson and Yelawolf. The event was taped for the season finale of VH1’s “T.I. and Tiny: The Family Hustle.”

Rumor has it that Tip and Tiny are expecting another addition to their happy family, but you’ll have to tune into their show to find out.

Keri Hilson was glowing in a cleavage-baring black number at Devyne Stephens’ “This Christmas” celebration in Atlanta. The 4th annual event honored producer Polow Da Don, BMI’s Catherine Brewton, and national news anchor Monica Pearson. Akon, Gucci Mane, and Chris Tucker also toasted the holiday season at the winter wonderland-theme bash.

Chris Brown makes a run for it in the trailer for Screen Gems’ Think Like a Man, the film adaptation of Steve Harvey’s book. The ensemble cast includes Taraji P. Henson, Morris Chestnut, Michael Ealy, Kevin Hart, Meagan Good, and Gabrielle Union.

In the romantic comedy, four men have their love lives turned upside down when their ladies buy Harvey’s book and start taking his advice. But they decide to take matters into their own hands, shifting the tables on the women.

The “Deuces” singer plays the boyfriend of Good. Also look for a cameo from Keri Hilson in the movie, which hits theaters nationwide on March 9.

Anthony Hamilton makes sweet music with Keri Hilson on “Never Let Go,” track #6 off his fourth studio album Back to Love, due December 13. The soul crooner explains how the “Pretty Girl Rock” singer ended up on the Jerry Wonda-produced duet.

“[Songwriter Cri$tyle] took the chorus and made it not just an amazing melody, but she took it and made it a his and hers,” says Hamilton. “Her voice reminds me of either Kelly Rowland or Keri Hilson. It just so happened Keri heard the song—I think it was a set up all along—she said she liked it a lot and she would love to do it.”

Keri, who was in South Africa at the time, came back and recorded her vocals in time to make the album. “It’s one of my favorites actually,” he reveals.

Peace, love, and soul ruled at the 2011 Soul Train Awards. Keri Hilson took a break from recording her third album to attend the 40th anniversary taping at Atlanta’s Fox Theatre on Thursday (Nov. 17).

Doug E. Fresh, Naughty by Nature, and Goodie Mob participated in a tribute to the late Heavy D. R&B crooners Joe, Eric Benét, and Robin Thicke paid homage to Legend Award recipient Earth, Wind & Fire.

Lloyd catered to the grown and sexy with “Dedication to My Ex (Miss That),” while Mindless Behavior thrilled their young fans with “Girls Talkin’ Bout.”

Common, Cee Lo Green, Chrisette Michelle, Marsha Ambrosius, Musiq Soulchild, and Anthony Hamilton also performed at the soulful celebration.

Fresh from her European tour, Keri Hilson made a stop at “106 & Park,” where she was recognized for her work to help improve kids’ lives through education with the Get Schooled campaign.

“That’s so special,” said the blonde bombshell upon receiving the “Get Schooled” award. “It’s not that I feel obligated, but these are things that I love to do. I come from a family of educators. It means a lot for me to be able to do it. It’s like works of the heart.”

Miss Keri also revealed that she’s back in the studio working on her third album. “There’s some people in the world that aren’t gon’ like this album coming from me,” she warned. “As I was experiencing the world, there were things that I was also experiencing on a personal front, and in my music it’s coming out. There’s a specific few people who ain’t gon’ like to listen to this album. Very emotional, I’ll say that.”

The album is awaiting a release date while she decides whether to release another single off her current project. “You guys let me know whether you want to see another single off of No Boys Allowed,” she told the audience. “We’re still trying to figure out ‘All the Boys,’ ‘Buyou’… We’re trying to figure out if we want to release another single or move on to the third, but I’m always in the studio.”

Keri Hilson stormed the stage for her show in Berlin, Germany, on Saturday (Oct. 8). Following her stint on Lil Wayne’s “I Am Still Music” tour in the U.S., the blonde bombshell reloaded for a series of shows in Europe. Miss Keri channeled her inner dominatrix as she gave fans a peek under her metallic coat while performing hits off her two albums In a Perfect World… and No Boys Allowed. “Just as I suspected….Cologne & Berlin went off for #iLike! Germany, this song is YOURS forever,” she tweeted.

Keri Hilson worked up a sweat while lending her support to Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! campaign. Wearing a pink Nike hat, sneakers, and T-shirt that read, “Pretty Girls Sweat,” the blonde bombshell exercised with the young women at the Educational Alliance’s Sirovich Senior Center in New York on Saturday, teaching them some moves as they got in shape. The First Lady also called on Beyoncé to re-record her hit “Get Me Bodied” for the initiative, aimed at fighting childhood obesity.

Keri Hilson returned home to Atlanta during the latest stop on Lil Wayne’s “I Am Still Music” tour. While in the ATL over the weekend, the blonde bombshell hosted the Moët Rose Lounge at The Mansion on Peachtree. Miss Keri kept it hot in a black bra, high-waisted pants, and cat-eye sunglasses as she held court with her sisters and hometown friends.

The 28-year-old singer is planning to shoot two more videos off her latest album No Boys Allowed before releasing her third album.

“After ‘Lose Control,’ I’d love to release ‘All the Boys,’ ‘Buyou,’ ‘Beautiful Mistake’… ‘Hustler,’” she told Billboard. “We just have to narrow it down and shoot a video for the one we think people will love.”

Lil Wayne’s “I Am Still Music” tour pulled into the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, New Jersey, on Friday night with his caravan of tourmates. Porcelain Black kicked things off followed by Lloyd and Far East Movement, who combined forces on “Rocketeer.” Keri Hilson stripped out of her pink jumpsuit during her No Boys Allowed set, Rick Ross sported a jersey in honor of Phillies’ Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt, and a sober Weezy kept things rocking with surprise guest Nicki Minaj.

“Just hit the stage w/Weezy for a surprise performance for Philly/Jersey. I miss him =( saw millz,streets,cory & my baby mackmaine. #YMCMB,” tweeted Young Money’s First Lady after performing her Pink Friday hits including “Did It On’em.”
