Beyonce & Kelly join BET Awards; Chamillionaire’s ‘Victory’; Lil Mo’s ‘Pain’; T-Pain’s ringtones; Timberlake’s beatdown.

The women of Destiny's Child
*Destiny’s Child members Beyonce and Kelly Rowland have been added to the list of performers for the BET ’07 Awards on Tuesday, June 26. The ladies join previously announced performers T.I., 50 Cent, Ne-Yo, Ciara and Yolanda Adams. Presenters include Terrence Howard, Tyra Banks, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Queen Latifah and Big Boi. Mo’Nique returns as host.
*Chamillionaire’s upcoming album "Ultimate Victory," originally due in March and then pushed to June, has now been scheduled to drop on Sept. 18 via Universal, reports Billboard.com. The set features guest appearances from Busta Rhymes, Lil Wayne, UGK's Pimp C, Devin the Dude, Lloyd and Krayzie Bone. Producers include Three 6 Mafia, Rick Ross, the Runners, Play N Skillz, David Banner and J.R. Rotem. In the meantime, the Houston rapper's "Mixtape Messiah 3" mixtape and DVD will be available for free download on his Web site beginning July 18.
*R&B singer Lil Mo will drop her new album “Pain and Paper” on August 28 through her new independent label HoneyChild Entertainment, reports Allhiphop.com. "I came up with the title ‘Pain and Paper’ because I always felt like in order to get to the top, there is always a struggle, where much is needed, much is required," Lil Mo told the Web site. A video for the disc’s first single, "Sumtimes I" featuring Jim Jones, is scheduled to begin shooting next week.
*T-Pain is the latest artist to join Virgin Mobile USA's exclusive "First Dibs" ringtone program. Customers will be able to download four exclusive ringtones, including three from his new album “Epiphany” and one never-before- released track from his previous album, “Rappa Ternt Sanga.” In addition, customers may enter the "First Dibs" contest at http://www.t-pain.net/vmfirstdibs for a chance to win an autographed prize pack.
*Justin Timberlake tells the U.K. edition of Cosmopolitan he suffered a beatdown as a teenager “for being white.” The singer says he was 13-years-old and living in Memphis, Tenn. when the incident took place and left him with a black eye and broken ribs. “The hard part was trying to understand why it happened. Then you get to a point where you have to let it go,” he said, according to WENN. "When you come through on the other side, you're a much stronger person."
