BMI Urban Awards honor The Jacksons

Celebrities gathered in Beverly Hills on Sept. 4 for the BMI Urban Awards, including the Icon award to the Jackson brothers, formerly the famed "Jackson 5" singing group.

Tito, Jackie, Marlon and Randy Jackson, of the The Jacksons, arrive at the BMI Urban Awards in Beverly Hills on Sept. 4 to be honored for their work. The Jackson 5 recorded on the Motown label from 1968 to 1975, and then recorded on Epic/CBS Records (under the name of "The Jacksons") until their disbanding in 1990.

Rapper Soulja Boy pointed out a few things.

These two are musician Cee-Lo Green and actress Elise Neal.

It's not a party without actor Corey Feldman, of "The Goonies" fame. He was there with his wife Susie.

Mel B thought blue was the way to go.

Actress Jurnee Smollett arrives. Having a hard time remembering who she is? She was highly praised for her role in the 1997 independent film "Eve's Bayou."

Musicians Lloyd (left) and Rick Ross were discussing something interesting.

Mario performs during a tribute to The Jacksons. That expains the Sgt. Pepper's look, then.

T-Pain (left) and Rick Ross perform together during the event. T-Pain felt the need to carry his beverage. (You never know when your throat will get dry.)

Hip-hopper T-Pain licks his award for Producer of the Year. (They must not have served dinner at the event.) Del Bryant, President and CEO of BMI, enjoys the moment.

Somebody get this man a cheeseburger! He's obviously starving.......(for attention.)
