Two pre-BET Awards events on Saturday night morphed into Michael Jackson mania as the stars came to honor the tragic singer.
Morgan Freeman, Sherri Shepard, Jessica Alba and Jamie Foxx held a moment of silence for the King of Pop during a private dinner at downtown Los Angeles eatery Drago Centro.
Before leading an acapella version of “Rock With You,” party boy Foxx cajoled the crowd to not mourn Jackson’s death to but to honor his life.
