VH1 Divas Salute the Troops

The stars were out Friday night in a big way to help honor and entertain our nation's servicemen and women with the "VH1 Divas Salute the Troops." Singers like Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry wowed with their top hits and nontraditional USO gal attire. Fans can't watch the taping until it airs Sunday night, but here's a sneak peek at the stars, from The Times photo booth.
