Former Fugees star Pras performed his 1998 hit 'Ghetto Superstar' at the AFI Awards in honor of Warren Beatty - who starred in the film the song was the title track to 'Bulworth'. In somewhat of an odd pairing, R&B singer Amerie joined him onstage to perform the song. Though her rendition added a fresh slant to the track, I'm not so sure I was actually feeling it; I can't put my finger on what was 'off' about it, other than the fact that something was. Where the hell was Mya (the original feature artist), anyway?

What do you think of the performance?

Bad news for those holding out for the return of The Fugees. Former member Pras has gone on record to state that the status of his reunion with fellow members Lauryn Hill and Wyclef is "Straight dead". Speaking to SOHH, Pras explains "You know, unfortunately Miss Hill, she got some things she needs to deal with. I wish her the best, but life goes on." The critically acclaimed trio were scheduled to release an album last year marking 10 years since the release of their classic LP 'The Score'; a single, 'Take It Eazy' was even released in late 2005. Currently each member is focusing on their own projects; including Pras' new album/movie project and Lauryn Hill's upcoming overseas tour.

Whatever the case, I say they should hurry up and get it together. Look at how many 90's groups try to reunite after so many years away - only to find that no one cares anymore.

You holding out for The Fugees reunion?
