ON DECK or OFF DECK?!

After the New Orleans Saints’ triumphant win on Sunday, celebs including Keri Hilson and Chris Brown flocked to Liv nightclub in Miami where Diddy was playing host for the night. Word is Chris couldn’t keep his hands off Keri and “was all over” her. A snitch revealed to E! News that the two were “grinding each other” on the dance floor, and Chris begged Keri to take a picture with him for the papz. They were seen leaving the club together and that’s when rumors of the two dating began. So Miss Keri decided to hop on Twitter to address the rumor.

Here’s the pic that set things off…

Looks like BET took note from MTV’s successful “Hope For Haiti Now” telethon which helped raise over $58 million– sparking the network to create its own telethon titled “SOS Saving Ourselves—Help for Haiti” to be hosted by Queen Latifah, Diddy and Pharrell Williams. The two hour event will take place at the AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami and will air on BET,  Centric, MTV and VH1 on Friday, February 5^th at 8 pm ET.

“Words cannot express how I felt watching the catastrophic events unfold in Haiti. I believe it is our duty to come together and help our brothers and sisters in Haiti, especially now, in their greatest hour of need. I have joined forces with Queen Latifah, Pharrell, BET and several of the biggest names in music today to raise funds for the Haiti Relief efforts. Together we can make a difference,” says Diddy.

A string of artists including Ne-Yo, Keri Hilson, Chris Brown, Jazmine Sullivan, Akon, Ludacris, Mary J. Blige, Robin Thicke, Monica, Busta Rhymes, India Arie, Kirk Franklin, Nas and Damian Marley are set to hit the stage for this special event. In addition to musical performances, Mr. “Panty Dropper”  aka Trey Songz, Common, David Banner, Missy Elliott, Chrisette Michelle, Jeremih, The Dream, Jason Derulo, T-Pain, Sean Kingston and more will also make appearances.

“The devastation that has occurred in Haiti has broken my heart. My hope is that we can raise enough money to sustain a few of the relief organizations for quite some time as there is a lot of work to be done over there,” said Pharrell Williams. “The goal is not only to bring immediate relief to Haiti but to also rebuild the country and help the country move forward.”

Proceeds from the event will go to Wyclef Jean’s Yele Haiti, CARE, Project MediShare and Children’s Safe Drinking Water.

Make no mistake, the couple that gets paid together– stays together! Hip-hop’s royal couple Jay-Z and Beyonce have been tapped to headline the FIFA Soccer World Cup on June 10^th. Not only is having the King of Hip-hop and the hardest working bish in showbiz perform at the World Cup major, but it’s also the first time the event is being held on African soil. According to Kevin Hall, producer behind Live 8 concerts who has been hired to stage the event,

“Going into Africa during the World Cup will present a huge amount of logistics, like figuring out local transport, flights, hotels, all the stuff that a year ago people already reserved. Still, how often do you get to work on an Olympics or a World Cup? We’re really trying to highlight football and the cultures and colour and music of Africa so you will see a lot of great international artists. I think this will be one of the greatest shows ever produced for Africa”.

Other celebrities who may also perform are the Black Eyed Peas, Yolanda Soares, and a slew of international artists. Word is Akon may even make an appearance. The World Cup is predicted to draw in about 5 billions viewers globally!

Meanwhile, in the states Super Bowl fever is already on the rise despite the fact that the teams haven’t been chosen yet.  ESPN has already snagged triple threat Ne-Yo and Keri Hilson to perform at it’s annual Superbowl party February 5^th. This year’s Super Bowl game is going down in Miami and ESPN’s big bash will take place at the luxurious Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel. “Good Girl Gone Rated R” Rihanna and teen pop sensation Justin Bieber have also been tapped to perform at Pepsi’s Super Bowl Fan Jam on February 4^th.

“Precious” was definitely the movie of 2009 and we’re not the only ones who seem to think so! The heart-wrenching story of “Precious” based on the novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire is leading the NAACP Image Awards race with eight nominations. The Lee Daniels film has been nominated for “Outstanding Motion Picture”, “Outstanding Independent Film”; supporting actors Mariah Carey, Mo’Nique, Paula Patton and Lenny Kravitz have been nominated for “Outstanding Supporting Actor/Actress in a Motion Picture”. Precious herself actress Gabourey Sidibe has been nominated for “Outstanding Actress  in a Motion Picture”.

Jay’s collaborations with Alicia Keys, Rihanna and Kanye West were also recognized for “Outstanding Duo, Group or Collaboration”. While, Rihanna, Alicia Keys, India Arie, Mary J. Blige and Whitney Houston are all vying to come out on top as “Outstanding Female Artist”. Toronto native Melanie Fiona, Jeremih and Keri Hilson are going up against each other in “Outstanding Best New Artist” category.

Miss Keri babyyy is finally getting the respect and acknowledgment she deserves! The Georgia peach has been nominated for two Grammy Awards, “Best New Artist” and “Best Rap/Sung Collaboration” for her single “Knock You Down”. Keri recently spoke to the Associated Press about her Grammy nod for Best New Artist and her collaboration with Ne-Yo and Kanye West which resulted in an instant hit. According to the songstress, she thinks she has a good shot at taking the Grammy home for Best New Artist, but admits it’s going to be a tough competition.

In related news, on New Years Eve while partying at Miami hot spot Karu and Y Nightclub Keri let the Nuvo get the best of her. Word is the often meek and always smiling singer flipped a few irate Beyonce fans the finger for shouting and yelling obscenities at her. SMH at people really taking the “Turnin’ Me On” remix to the head. Tell ‘em why you mad Keri!
