BET let the cat out of the bag and sent out a press release annoucing this year’s performers:
Rumors have been flying and fans have been eagerly anticipating the show-stopping “Grand Opening” and “Grand Closing” of BET Awards ’06, as each year proves to be more extraordinary than before. This year, the BET Awards show begins with a Grand Opening salvo by America’s favorite new Dreamgirl Beyonce, and the world premiere television performance of her new smash “Deja Vu.” To cap the show, BET Awards ’06 has the legendary Prince bringing it home with the Grand Closingto this annual tribute to music, movies, sports and more with an out-of-this-world performance. Prince’s song selection is a closely guarded secret … even to the show producers at this point…

These celebrated BET AWARDS alumni/nominees join top nominee Jamie Foxx, who will perform hits from his debut CD, as well as Busta Rhymes, Ne-Yo, Chris Brown, Keyshia Cole, Lil Wayne and Mary Mary who will blaze the stage with big-time production numbers. Previously announced show talent Mary J. Blige and T.I. will round out the set list, along with a few surprises. Elevating the star presence at the historic Shrine Auditorium is host Damon Wayans, BET Lifetime Achievement Award winner Chaka Khan, BET Humanitarian Award recipient Harry Belafonte, and presenters including: film and TV star Vivica A. Fox, hip hop luminaries Outkast, NFL first-round draft pick Vince Young, sultry songstress Rihanna, the hilarious Shawn and Marlon Wayans, old-school sitcom stars Bernadette Stanis and Jimmy Walker, and former BET AWARDS host Steve Harvey
.
And we can’t forget the preshow. Confirmed performers include Cherish, Young Joc, and LeToya Luckett. The three-hour LIVE show premieres on June 27 at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT.

Last year’s show was crazy (especially when the Fugees popped out).
