TOCCARA HONORED WITH KEY TO THE CITY; CHILLI SPOTTED AT ATLANTA HAWKS GAME.

Model Toccara Jones participated in the NAACP Hollywood to Middletown, Ohio celebrity basketball game at the Bennett Recreational Center at Miami University of Middletown on Friday, October 31, 2008.

-------------------------

Tyra Banks awarded her with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the first Annual Fiercee Awards show for being the most famous and successful America's Next Top Model contestant ever. She made model history when she was chosen to become the first black plus-size model to ever appear in a 14-page spread in Vogue Italia magazine. Her face has graced countless numbers of magazine covers. So it probably came as no surprise when Toccara Jones was given the key to the city of her hometown Middletown, Ohio on Saturday, November 1st.

-----------------------

On Saturday night, Chilli was spotted attending the Philadelphia 76ers vs Atlanta Hawks game at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

'FLAVOR OF LOVE 2' WINNER LONDON 'DEELISHIS' CHARLES IS GETTING MARRIED TO BOYFRIEND ORLANDO GORDON.

CLICK ON EACH PIC TO SEE ITS FULL IMAGE.

Flavor of Love 2 winner Deelishis (real name London Charles) is now engaged to be married. The reality star turned entrepreneur (she owns her own jean line) will join her boyfriend, 27-year-old Orlando Gordon in holy matrimony on July 19, 2009, according to Sister 2 Sister magazine.

DEELISHIS ON HER PROPOSAL: "He and I were sitting around the house watching movies. Around 5, I went into the kitchen to grab something to eat and I came back in the bedroom and he was sitting there with this little box and he said, 'What are you doing for the rest of your life?' I was very shocked and surprised."

Deelishis said she and her hubby-to-be thought about eloping to avoid any media attention....what sort of media attention is beyond me....but instead decided to celebrate their union with their family and friends...and soon began making plans for a very large bridal party that will consist of 35 members including 15 bridesmaids and groomsmen. Of her engagement party, which was held at Orlando's nightclub (he also handled all the arrangements...food, decorations, music, etc. by his lonesome), Deelishis said:

"He had these flowers that were everywhere, and these vases had these orchids and roses and lilies. It was beautiful. For most of the party I was in tears. I just cried because I couldn't believe how beautiful it was. Then I just kept staring at this man, who, I knew we would have a long-lasting relationship but I never thought he would fall into suit of feeling as though he needed to make me his bride."

Mrs. Orlando Gordon's bridesmaids include SWV member Taj Johnson, former Flavor of Love 2 contestant Shay 'Buckeey' Johnson, model Toccara Jones, video vixen Angel Lola Luv plus Deelishis' two sisters and relatives from Orlando's side of the family. Orlando's 3-year old daughter, Orlandria....yes, Orlandria, has been given the title as flower girl, while Deelishis' 9-year-old daughter, Jasmine, will play her role as a junior bridesmaid. Deelishis said in choosing the members of her bridal party....particularly her bridesmaids, she wanted ladies 'who respect what marriage is, who respects my decision, who aren't going to be catty and who will keep this union tight.'

As for Flavor Flav. Who? And as for those wedding photos? Given Deelishis' addiction to and adoration of anyone's camera lens, chances are this time next year (that's if the wedding goes off without a hitch) there will be a plethora of images from her big day. Congratulations, Dee!

THE JACKSONS HONORED WITH ICON AWARD AT THE BMI AWARDS; T-PAIN TAKES HOME TOP HONORS.

For the first time in I don't know how many years, the Jackson were honored and presented with the BMI Urban Awards prestigious Icon award last Thursday night. Now what Michael and Jermaine were doing that had them so tied up that they didn't bother to attend the event is anyone's guess. Mama Katherine and Papa Joe were in attendance, as were LaToya and Rebbie and Janet, who got choked up while introducing her big brothers Tito, Randy, Jackie and Marlon as they received their Icon award. Bless her heart. "Family is the most important commodity that all of us have," she said. "I am so proud to be able to salute my brothers." According to People magazine, Janet called off the names of each brother and said, "I salute you for your talent and your musical gifts you've given the world. I tell you that every time we speak. I'm so excited to salute you!" While Michael didn't make it to the event, his brothers offered their support for him and his upcoming album. "We haven't heard it, but we've heard about it," Randy told reporters. "It's going to be great."

Earlier in the evening, Tallahassee's home son, T-Pain (real name Faheem Najm) earned the coveted Songwriter of the Year crown and shared the Producer of the Year trophy with crossover king Jonathan “J.R.” Rotem and Kanye West. He picked up several other awards as well.

Check out the pics below. Celebs in attendance included: Chris Tucker, Flex Alexander and his wife Shanice Wilson, Angela and Vanessa Simmons, Elise Neal, Cee-lo, Ray J., Toccara, Christina Milian, Teairra Marie, Fonzsworth Bentley with his girlfriend and actress Faun Chambers, Lloyd, Mel B., Nicole Murphy Mitchell, Bobby Valention and more.
