The creator of the 'Love & Hip Hop' reality franchise, Mona Scott, was surprised by family, friends, and business associates as she turned a year older.

Love was in the air last night as "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" executive producer Mona Scott-Young and cast members K.Michelle, Joseline, Stevie J and Scrappy spoke to a room filled with V.I.P. media personals during a press reception at Griffin in the Meatpacking District.
