Despite the snow, last night, Angela Yee (Sirius Radio), Mike Kyser (Atlantic Records) and Deirdre Maloney held their monthly “Bottles and Strikes” event at Lucky Strike Lanes in the city. This event is one in which fashion and music industry tastemakers, celebrities and executives come together for fun, drinking, bowling, trash talking and of course, networking.

With performances from the likes of Patti Labelle, Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Hudson, and even Maxwell; this show was set up to be the water cooler topic of the day. The highlight of the night had to be Stevie Wonder & Trey Songz singing “Invented Sex“, that had us on the floor.

Jennifer Hudson absolutely stole the show singing “I Will Always Love You” in honor of Whitney Houston.  She is looking amazing after just giving birth a couple months ago. She actually looks better than ever.

You can check out more performances from the BET Honors after the jump..

Maxwell performing “Fist Full Of Tears” *the best song on his album*

Trey Songz & Stevie Wonder singing a couple medleys including “Invented Sex“

5.) The theme for the event was “I Am Prince” (Based off of Diddy’s “I Am King” campaign, of course) and Justin Combs brought rapper, Nicki Minaj as his “princess”/date. They proceeded to sit on their thrones after their arrival, and Nicki Minaj performed as well.

**Nicki Minaj is a 25 year old bi-sexual woman, and Justin is only 16 years old. Wowzers! Talk about getting it in early.**

4.) The cast of MTV’s hit show “Jersey Shore” was in the building.  Need we say more?  You know its a P-A-R-T-Y if Snooki, Pauly D and Vinny are in attendance in all of their “fist-pumping” glory.

3.) G. Dep came out of hiding to attend.  Where has he been? We thought he was in Bad Boy purgatory, but it looks like he’s doing A-Ok.

2.) Lil’ Kim came through to perform and sing the birthday song.  Awwwww.  Now THAT’s something you don’t see everyday.

And the #1 reason why Justin Comb’s party was so dope…

1.  He received a $10,000 check at the end of the night, and donated the ENTIRE amount to Yele Haiti.

Other guests and performers at the event included Trey Songz, Fabolous, Heavy D, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, Teyana Taylor, Diggy Simmons and more.

Jim Jones looks like he was flying “high”. What’s that in your hand, Jimmy?

DJ Envy and Rocsi, what’s going on here?

Fab was in the building, of course.

Akon was there too.

Looks like good times!

It’s Time’ is way for me to showcase the direction I’m going musically, lyrically, as an artist, but most importantly as a man. I’ve been though so many trials and tribulations throughout my life but moreson in my career and I feel like it’s my time to rise from all the obstacles that kept me compressed & rise up from those mishaps.

We are happy to see Sammie still grinding and trying to make it in this tough industry. With all the focus on Trey Songz right now, we wonder if him teaming up with Troy Taylor (Trey Songz mentor) will help give him that much needed push.

The video is pretty blah tho, it’s exactly what was expected, just a bunch of chicks in freakum dresses at a party. They could have at least rented out M2 Lounge for the video. DJ Clue also makes a cameo in the video. (Why is he still in videos, how old is he now?)
