BET is tagging this event as "the hottest ticket on television." And from this list of performers, I can see why. Usher, Lil Wayne, Nelly, Alicia Keys, Chris Brown, Kanye West, and Young Jeezy will take the stage at the
BET Awards '08. The award show will be hosted by
The Original Kings of Comedy member, D.L. Hughley.
The network is honoring some iconic names in music as well. Legendary R&B crooner Al Green will receive BET's Lifetime Achievement Award. Celebrated producer / arranger / composer Quincy Jones is set for BET's Humanitarian Award for his work in the Listen Up, a charity which connects youth with music, technology and culture.

In response to all the buzz about
Studio 60's
weak ratings and whispers of its
possible cancellation, one die-hard fan is taking evasive action. Clay Johnson has launched
SaveStudio60.com, where he has an online petition to keep the show on the air and encourages readers to buy things from the companies that advertise on
Studio 60 (although, I think this tactic is far-fetched because I don't think Apple is going to deduce that you bought an iPod because you saw one advertised on

Amanda Peet will play Matthew Perry's nemesis on
Studio 60
on the Sunset Strip, a
new
series that Aaron Sorkin is creating for NBC. Peet and Perry co-starred in
The Whole Nine Yards and its
awful sequel,
The Whole Ten Yards. Studio 60 is set behind the scenes of a sketch comedy show, and Perry plays
the genius head writer who butts heads with the newly appointed president of the network. Peet plays the new
president.
Also signed up for the show are Steven Weber and D.L. Hughley. Nate Corddry is also listed as a
cast member, he'll play one of the actors. He's currently working as a reporter for
The Daily Show and is
fellow reporter Rob Corddry's younger brother. This is looking to be a damn fine cast.
