RIHANNA, ALICIA KEYS, GLADYS KNIGHT, KELLY
ROWLAND, CHAKA KHAN, ERYKAH BADU AND FABOLOUS
SET TO APPEAR AT BET AWARDS '07, LIVE ON JUNE 26
LOS ANGELES (June 20, 2007) — BET '07 AWARDS is
poised for the ultimate battle royale when its
all-star lineup with the biggest records of the
year go all out at the Shrine Auditorium on
Tuesday, June 26. Sparks will be flying throughout
the three-hour live telecast, beginning at 8 p.m.
ET/7 p.m. CST (tape delayed in the Mountain and
Pacific zones) as legends and A-listers crowd the
dazzling talent roster.
Newly-added big name celebs scheduled to appear or
perform include: mega-star Beyonce', hip-hop mogul
Diddy, R&B divas Keyshia Cole, Kelly Rowland, and
Alicia Keys, chart-topping ingénue Rihanna,
legendary singers Gladys Knight and Chaka Khan,
sultry crooners Robin Thicke and Mario, soul maven
Erykah Badu, rap stars Nelly and Fabolous, actress
Vivica A. Fox, funnyman Charlie Murphy,
activist/political leader Al Sharpton, hip hop
activist/rapper Chuck D, American Idol Jordin
Sparks, writer/director/actor Tyler Perry, movie
stars 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.
This year's show is justifiably being billed as
"The Main Event" as the popular Mo'Nique is back
to host the telecast for an unprecedented third
time. With such a knock-out line up, the stage is
set for a telecast that will keep viewers locked
from the opening act until the final curtain
falls. As always, BET can be counted on to deliver
some of television's most memorable moments,
including special tributes to the late James Brown
and Gerald Levert as well as a not-to-be-missed
opening act.
"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."
BET will also honor Diana Ross, the icon of Motown
style with BET's Lifetime Achievement Award for
her four decade long, accomplished career in
popular music. Additionally, beloved and
accomplished actor, Academy Award nominee Don
Cheadle will receive the BET Humanitarian Award
for his efforts in Darfur and fundraising for the
African AIDS epidemic.
BET is the only award show that recognizes the
achievements of music artists, entertainers and
athletes in 14 categories; this year's nods for
best-in-class performances go to Beyonce` with six
nominations, followed by Jay-Z, Ciara, Jennifer
Hudson, Akon and Gnarls Barkley among others.
Encore telecasts of the BET AWARDS '07 are set
for: Friday, June 29 from 8 -- 11 p.m. ET/PT
Sunday, July 1 from 8 -- 11 p.m. ET/PT; Wednesday,
July 4 from 8 -- 11 p.m. ET/PT; Friday, July 6
