*Violence jumped off last night at Radio One's fourth annual Dirty Awards in Atlanta. Sources say the problem was between the Shawty Lo and T.I.'s Grand Hustle camps. Allhiphop.com is reporting that that the tension between the two crews mounted during Shawty Lo's performance, which included a diss version of Grand Hustle artist Yung LA's song "Ain't I." For more, go here. And even though you can't tell exactly what's happening, you see video from the event here. *Joy Behar of "The View" got some laughs at the expense of her former co-host Star Jones by choosing one of her books for "Celebrity Autobiography," an upper West Side show that features celebs reading aloud from their peers' personal memoirs. According to the New York Daily News, Behar "had the crowd at the Triad Theatre in stitches last week," particularly when she read a passage in which Jones talks about meeting a young Latin guy at a dance club populated by "gays, straights and trannies." The Daily News wrote, "With material like that, Behar didn't even have to spin it, and played it - well, straight." *More details have emerged regarding the move of Tyra Banks' talk show from syndication to the CW. According to trade mags Hollywood Reporter and Variety, the daily chatfest has suffered in the global economic crisis and will cut costs by shortening the production schedule from 34 weeks to just 26. Also, the series has suffered a nine per cent drop in ratings since November 2007. *The profanity-laced revival of David Mamet's "American Buffalo," starring Ced the Entertainer and John Leguizamo, closed its Broadway run on Sunday after just eight performances. The production opened Nov. 17 to largely negative reviews. It was the second Mamet revival of the Broadway season. The first, "Speed-the-Plow," starring Jeremy Piven, Elisabeth Moss and Raul Esparza, is running at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre. *Acclaimed Chef G. Garvin will be in Los Angeles on Saturday, Dec. 14, to sign his books at the Barnes and Noble located inside of The Grove (189 Grove Drive). The event is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. *AOL's BlackVoices has revealed its Top 30 Sexiest African-American Film Actresses. Here's the list they came up with:
