And it begins.
With many questioning Beyonce‘s whereabouts and the promotional strategy for her new project, no time seems better than present to announce that Billboard are set to pay tribute to her.
For, in what will no doubt serve as a major boost to Queen B’s latest campaign, music’s biggest stars will gather to celebrate her 15 year success story at the re-launched Billboard Awards this month. The May 22nd event will also see the singer receive the Millenium Award.

According to AOL’s Pop Eater, the likes of Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Cee-Lo Green, and the Black Eyed Peas will take to the stage at the MGM Grand Garden Arena to honor the 29 year old.
Since roaring onto the scene in 1996, the Destiny’s Child star has amassed a whopping 16 Grammy’s and churned out countless hits – most of which were achieved on her own , following the launch of a wildly successful solo career in 2003.
Her latest release is the Diplo produced ‘Run The World (Girls)’.

I sure hope Bouncy herself will be taking to the stage, because none of the announced performers are enough of a draw.
That said, Rihanna’s tribute will be a must see! She may as well perform ‘Lose My Breath’, because that’s what she’ll be doing should she attempt any of Bey’s notes.
The Billboard Awards 2011 airs on ABC, on May 22nd, at 8pm EST.
