The "hippest trip in America" has pulled the plug on its annual award show. Reuters Life is reporting that the Soul Train Music Awards has been cancelled without explanation.

The brainchild of former Chicago DJ Don Cornelius, "Soul Train" was due to celebrate its 22nd award show this year, but a spokeswoman for the program said the show would not go ahead as planned.

At last year's event in Pasadena, many of the winners did not bother to attend, including such A-listers as Beyonce Knowles, Mary J. Blige, John Legend and Gnarls Barkley.

"Soul Train," meanwhile, ended its historic run in 2006. It was distributed by Tribune Entertainment, which exited the syndication business when billionaire Sam Zell took its Tribune Co. parent private late last year in a highly leveraged deal.

Anybody watch this wackness anyway.
