CHILLI, JERMAINE DUPRI, BIG BOI WITH THEIR KIDS AT 'RUNWAY RED BACK TO SCHOOL FASHION GALA.'

A handful of Atlanta's hometown celebrities attended the third annual Show Me the Way Foundation presents: Runway RED Back to School Celebrity Fashion Gala (that's a long-ass title, huh?) last Saturday (July 26). The event, which was hosted by TLC's Rozonda 'Chilli' Thomas, featured pint–size socialites, mini-me movers and shakers and their well-known celebrity parental escorts. At Saturday's gala, celebrity seeds strutted their stuff on the runway alongside their celeb parents while modeling exclusive fall and winter Back to School collections from Macy's and high-end fashion designers such as: Jack & Jill, Sean John for Kids, Rock and Republic, Lil Miss Muffet, Burberry for Kids, Paige Denim, Tommy Hillfiger, and Bo Peep Kids.

Besides Chilli and her 11-year-old son Tron whom she shares with music producer Dallas Austin, (and if you ask me lil dude is thisclose to towering over his mom), other celebrities and their seeds in attendance included Big Boi and his son Cross, Jermaine Dupri and his adorable daughter Shania, Roy Jones Jr. son Roy III and his twin boys DeShawn and DeAndre and Atlanta radio host Ryan Cameron with his wife and kids.

I guess Chilli opted to leave her signature and ever-present 'Tron-clad' bag at home considering she was able to have the real thing on her arm for the night. And I'm not even go there with that child's head. I ain't going there yall. I just can't!

THOSE FILTHY ASS DIRTY AWARDS IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA.

The Dirty Awards: whoever named this awards show was right on the money. It's beyond dirty-looking...as a matter of fact it's borderline filth to the nth degree. You know it's dirty when it makes the Source Awards look like the Grammys. Yeah, I said it. The random and utter madness of niggerosity was a sight to behold and then some. The venue looked as if it reeked of weed, 40s, men who wear too much cologne, women who wear too much perfume, groupies, sunflower seeds. Niggardry at its finest, yes indeed.

Anywhoo, word around the web (as well as the Dirty Awards red carpet) is the big hoopla regarding Diamond of Crime Mob being ousted from the group. However, as you can clearly see in the pics below, she didn't let her current status as a former member of the dirty group keep her from styling and profiling on the red carpet with her boo, Lil Scrappy. Their appearance together kinda caught me off guard. Why? Because a couple of weeks ago, someone whispered in my ear that they had broken up and that the dude (Lil Scrappy) with the $45,000 teeth had began dating a member of a messageboard I had once been a well-known member of. So, either that fling didn't last long or it just never happened. What-the-hell-ever.

Peep the pics below and after the jump!
