lights in the room work?
I turned on the ceiling lights to my bedroom and a light blew out causing a blown circuit to the bedroom leaving no power. After resetting the circuit, everything in the room works except the four ceiling lights. I replaced all four bulbs. So it's not the bulbs and not the fuse.

If turning on the lights caused such a huge surge of power that it flipped the breaker, it could have been enough current to fry the hot wire (the one electricity flows into the fixture from) leading from the source to the fixture, or to blow the contact point where it connects to the fixture. This is even more likely if the fixture is old and doesn't have a green grounding wire to dissipate excess current, or if your wiring is prone to weakening from age or animals chewing on it.
If this is the case, you should flip the breaker to the off position and call an electrician immediately, since the hot wire will still be live up to the point of the break. A live wire floating around in your ceiling is a major (and I mean major) fire hazard.
