Snoop Dogg, Ciara Honored At Hip Hop Summit Action Network Awards
 Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

The Hip-Hop Summit Action Network Awards dinner was yesterday, a fundraiser for "taking back responsibility" in the hip hop music community by honoring those stars that give back their time and their funds to helping to improve "the quality of life of all people," according to HSAN Chairman Russell Simmons, who hosted last night's shindig.  Ciara, Snoop Dogg, Doug E. Fresh, Jim Jones, and Chris Lighty were among those who were honored for their good deeds in the hip hop community.

Ciara showed up on the red carpet looking fly as all get out - who is this woman's physical trainer?  She looks better than Jessica Simpson did when she got all slimmed down and pumped up to play Daisy Mae Duke in The Dukes of Hazzard.

According to Hip Hop Elements, when Russell Simmons announced the honorees of the Awards, he said, "HSAN holds the Action Awards to celebrate the importance of people taking action to give back to our communities.  Snoop, Ciara, Doug E., Chris, Jim, and Mellody [Hobson, Capital Management prez] represent the best of hip-hop and have all uniquely and effectively given back their time, money and energy...HSAN, therefore, is proud to honor each of them with the 2008 Action Award."

We dig...but where was Wyclef Jean?  You can hardly leave him out of the giving back category...
