*Shar Jackson out-rapped Playboy Bunny Kendra Wilkinson in the finals of MTV's "Celebrity Rap Superstar" to take home the top prize in a field that included former NFL star Jamal Anderson, rocker Sebastian Bach and Efren "Vote for Pedro" Ramirez from the film "Napoleon Dynamite."

"I dedicate this whole thing to Lamont Bentley, who played my brother Hakeem on Moesha," Jackson said afterwards, according to People magazine. "He passed away in a car accident two years ago and what he really, really wanted to do was rap. So I did all of this in his honor."

Jackson said her inspiration to win came from the support of her kids, two of whom are fathered by Britney Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline.

"I looked up at my kids and the look on their faces made me tear up," she said. "They were so proud of me."

Jackson said she even got some advice from Federline, who attempted and failed to launch a rap career of his own. "He just wished me luck and told me to kill 'em," she said.

Federline's parents joined Jackson and her family at the rap party, where the actress said her win may open the door for other career opportunities.

"If I can have a career having fun, that's just awesome," she said about making a name for herself in music. "I really, really enjoy it. Why not?"
