Beyoncé will be honored with Billboard Millennium Award at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards. The iconic performer and international star will receive the honor at the May 22 show, which will air on ABC at 8-11pm ET/PT from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
The Billboard Millennium Award will recognize Beyoncé's career achievements and influence in the music industry, from her role as the frontwoman of Destiny's Child to her three-chart-topping solo albums, which have collectively earned her 16 Grammy awards and ASCAP's Pop Songwriter of the Year award. Previously, Billboard named Beyoncé its Woman of the Year in October 2009, and Top Female Artist of the Decade in December 2009.
Beyoncé's Billboard Milliennium Award will arrive just as the star puts the finishig touches on her fourth studio album, due out later this year. The album, whose debut single "Run the World (Girls)" premiered in April, will be her first since 2009's "I Am...Sasha Fierce," which sold 2.9 million copies, according to Nielsen Soundscan.

I've never seen one of these award shows, only the normal Grammy's, MTV, AMA's, etc.. so I'm hoping it's good.
But a lot of my faves are involved, so of course it will.
Yupp. Her name was removed from the official BB awards site (http://www.mgmgrand.com/bma2011/) and her own website removed the performance listing from the front page ever since the first week sales came in. (no shade)
