Here Jamie Foxx can be seen paying tribute to Michael Jackson (comedically, of course) as the host of the 2009 BET Awards, which aired live from Los Angeles Sunday night (Jun 28) on BET. Jamie Foxx is probably one of the few people who can make light of a sad situation and have everyone laughing and crying at the same time. The BET Awards was supposed to dedicate the entire show to Michael, per the press release sent out Friday, but failed to impress.

The show itself was pretty good, but they should have never mentioned dedicating the show to MIchael if they didn’t have the time to do it right. That said, we really hope they put together an entire special to honor the late King of Pop so they can at least try to save face. But for now, continue reading for photos of Soulja Boy, Jay-Z, Monica, Beyonce, Ne-Yo and many more celebrities who participated in this year’s BET Awards.

The 2009 BET Awards go down next week and the people behind the network are still adding performers to the final list. News recently broke that Keyshia Cole and Monica will performing their song, “Trust,” live on stage together at the annual event, which honors the biggest celebrities in black entertainment. The current list of performers include: Beyonce, Jay-Z, Maxwell, Kanye West, Ne-Yo, Mary Mary, Fabolous, Young Jeezy and Soulja Boy.

“Trust” has been doing pretty well on BET’s countdown show 106 & Park as it has been sitting pretty at the No. 1 spot for a while now so fans will definitely be looking forward to the duo performing the song at the BET Awards, which airs live next Sunday (Jun 28) from Los Angeles.
