BET AWARDS: ISN'T EMINEM MEANT TO BE "RESTING"?

Strange sights at the Black Entertainment Television awards in the US: Eminem turned up and did a song with Busta Rhymes - not really looking like the trembling wreck his spokesperson was suggesting he was the other day; Beyonce and Jay-Z did a duet, to quash rumours about a marriage rift, although since we'd not heard any of these rumours, that might not be a job done that well; and there was a supergroup featuring Chaka Khan, Prince and Stevie Wonder.

Thrillingly, there was even a tie in one of the awards, with Kanye West and Mary J Blige having to share the best video prize - we wonder if they'll do what the Woolpack and the Malt Shovel did when the Butterworth Ball match was tied, and one has the trophy for six months and then passes it to the other.
