Celebrities turn out for new Atlanta mayor's party

ATLANTA -A handful of celebrities turned out to wish the city&#39;s first female mayor, Shirley Franklin, congratulations Saturday night at a victory party at the Georgia World Congress Center. <br> <br> Rappers OutKast and Ludacris performed for a crowd of nearly 8,000 people, along with violinist Ken Ford and 3rd Faze, a pop trio that was introduced by actor Chris Tucker, who lives in Atlanta. <br> <br> ``Y&#39;all better shut up or I&#39;m going to get the big head,&#39;&#39; Tucker said as the audience roared and cheered. But the screams continued. ``OK, tell me how fine I am then!&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Not everyone came for the politics or even knew who had won the November election. <br> <br> ``I&#39;m here for the music, I&#39;m here because I&#39;m hungry ... and I&#39;m here to see Shirley Temple,&#39;&#39; Corey Dobbs said of Franklin. <br> <br> The event was part of a four-day, $500,000 celebration. Franklin will be sworn in Monday with new City Council members. <br> <br>
