*You’ve seen the promos of Mo’Nique in “Rocky” mode getting ready to host BET Awards ’07. The “Main Event,” as the June 26th ceremony is being dubbed, is set to take place at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles with a star-studded lineup of entertainment.
Newly-added celebs scheduled to appear or perform include: Beyonce, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Keyshia Cole, Kelly Rowland, Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Gladys Knight, Chaka Khan, Robin Thicke, Mario, Erykah Badu, Nelly, Fabolous, Vivica A. Fox, Charlie Murphy, Al Sharpton, Chuck D, Jordin Sparks, Tyler Perry, Nick Cannon, Michael Clark Duncan and Henry Simmons, and NFL superstar Reggie Bush.
They join previously announced show talent T.I., 50 Cent, Ne-Yo, Ciara, Terrence Howard, Queen Latifah, Yolanda Adams, Tyra Banks, Katt Williams, Big Boi of Outkast and Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
BET will also honor Diana Ross with BET’s Lifetime Achievement Award and Academy Award nominee Don Cheadle with a Humanitarian Award.
The live three-hour live telecast begins at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CST (tape delayed in the Mountain and Pacific zones).
“We’ve built a brand by having the most dazzling opening performances in all Awards shows,” said Stephen Hill, BET AWARDS ’07 executive producer and BET EVP of Music Programming and Talent. “This year’s open will simply and sensationally stun. Sometimes we tell you what’ll stun, like last year’s grand opening with Beyonce. Others we sneak on ya, like 2005’s reunion performance from The Fugees. We’re choosing ‘sneak attack’ this year, but trust me: you don’t want to get to your TV at 8:02 p.m. ….. for real.”
