She crisscrossed all over NYC wearing her best smile, and best designer gear, proving that pregnancy doesn’t mean style has to take a vacation.

Davis’ execution is but one example of a Georgia’s unbalanced justice system, and many GA residents including Big Boi and Killer Mike have joined in the march for truth being that there was way too much doubt in the case for the state to take this man’s life.  Television Judge Greg Mathis even expressed outrage, stating that Georgia had “blood on it’s hands” for proceeding with the execution.

Aaliyah Dana Haughton died 10 years ago today in a fiery plane crash on August 25, 2001 in the Bahamas after filming the music video for her single “Rock the Boat” and today many have honor her memory.

As I was perusing videos of the fallen star, I came across several interviews that revealed how humble and beautiful Aaliyah was even though her star was steadily rising.

A few I found interesting were Beyonce’s interview of Aaliyah on the red carpet of the 2001 MTV Video awards (where Aaliyah and Diddy also presented an award), Aaliyah’s final BET 106&Park appearance (where she premiered her “We Need A Resolution” video), and Aaliyah’s appearance on The Late Show.

Check out those clips PLUS a few photos below:
