Ludacris and Big Boi Co-Host Urban Ball for Obama

Luda and T-Pain bring the inaugural celebration to the streets.

Barack Obama's inauguration is causing quite the hullaballo in Washington, with highly priced hotel rooms already sold out and a black market for accommodations on the rise. People are willing to sacrifice their first born for a ticket to the event.

Ludacris and Outkast's Big Boi are getting in on the political action, hosting their own inaugural event. The Urban Ball, part of the American Music Inaugural Balls taking place in D.C, will feature performances by T-Pain, Lil John, Fantasia, and the Cheetah Girls. Somehow we don't think there was an Urban Ball at Dubya's inauguration. A Barn Dance, maybe.

Rumors are still flying over who will perform at Obama's official ball. We're pulling for Biz Markie. Biz or no Biz, we'll keep you informed - for a small fee, of course.
