BET Awards to Honor Mariah Carey, Snoop Dogg, Jamie Foxx and Kirk Franklin
The BET Awards will celebrate its 25th anniversary by honoring four legendary performers — Mariah Carey, Snoop Dogg, Jamie Foxx and Kirk Franklin. Carey, Snoop, Foxx and Franklin will receive the Ultimate Icon Award at next month's awards show, where Kendrick Lamar is the leading nominee. BET says the Ultimate Icon recipients were selected due to their impact on entertainment as well as their community impact and advocacy. Here's more to know about the show: Who's nominated at the BET Awards? Lamar earned 10 nominations earlier this month, including an album of the year for his highly-acclaimed project 'GNX.' His ubiquitous diss track 'Not Like Us,' emanating from the Drake feud, received nominations for video of the year and viewer's choice award. The rap megastar made waves with his Grammy triumph, winning song and record of the year for 'Not Like Us.' He followed up with a groundbreaking halftime show, becoming the first solo hip-hop performer to headline the coveted slot. He is currently on the Grand National Tour with SZA. Doechii, Drake, Future and GloRilla tied for the second-most nominations with six. Metro Boomin pulled in five nods, while SZA and The Weeknd each scored four. Who are the show's performers? Rap icon Lil Wayne, rapper GloRilla and singer Teyana Taylor will hit the BET Awards stage. The lineup of performers also includes rapper Playboi Carti and singer Leon Thomas. Who will host the show? Kevin Hart is expected to bring the funny as host of the awards show, celebrating its 25th anniversary. The comedian-actor, who hosted the BET Awards in 2011, called this year's ceremony a 'black-tie affair.' 'It's a chance to reflect, cherish and honor life's unforgettable moments,' Hart said in a statement. He has a history with the network, hosting 'Comic View: One Night Stand' in 2008. He was an executive producer and one of the stars of 'Real Husbands of Hollywood' and launched adult animated comedy 'Lil Kev' on BET+. Will there be any tributes? The BET Awards will offer tributes to former popular hosts and performances, including the network's once-flagship program '106 & Park.' ''106 & Park' was more than just a music countdown show; it was the heartbeat of Black youth culture and one of the highest-rated BET programs for over a decade,' said Scott Mills, BET's president and CEO. The weekday show launched in 2000 and lasted for more than a decade. The show thrived with a video countdown, interviews and performances. The show will reunite past hosts A.J. Calloway, Free, Julissa Bermudez, Keshia Chanté, Rocsi Diaz and Terrence J. The tribute will feature performers such as Bow Wow, Amerie, B2K, Jim Jones, Mya, T.I. and Mr. 106 & Park. It is not yet known whether Carey, Snoop, Foxx and Franklin will receive individual tributes during the ceremony. The awards will air live on June 9 from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles at 8 p.m. EDT. Are there any other standout nominees? There's a competitive list of top-notch actors looking to take home the top award in their category. For best actor, the category includes Aaron Pierre, Aldis Hodge, Anthony Mackie, Colman Domingo, Denzel Washington, Jamie Foxx, Joey Bada$$, Kevin Hart, Sterling K. Brown and Will Smith. For best actress, the nominees include Andra Day, Angela Bassett, Coco Jones, Cynthia Erivo, Keke Palmer, Kerry Washington, Quinta Brunson, Viola Davis and Zendaya. Stephen Curry, LeBron James, Simone Biles, Angel Reese and Jalen Hurts are among the sports stars competing for awards.

Lorraine Kelly says Mariah Carey was 'refreshed' and Lady Gaga never showed for interviews
ITV chat show host Lorraine Kelly has interviewed a whole host of A-listers over the years, but it appears two stand out for all the wrong reasons. Lorraine Kelly has been at the helm of her self-titled ITV daytime show for 15 years and within that period she has chatted with thousands of A-listers. Recently though, Lorraine shed light on the two celebrities who delivered the least pleasant experiences during their time together. Speaking at the 2025 Hay Festival of Literature and Arts, a bold audience member fished for juicy revelations. Not shy about naming favourites, Lorraine warmly recalled her time with George Clooney. "George Clooney is adorable. He just is. He's my favourite," Lorraine gushed over. Yet it appears that encounters with personalities like Mariah Carey and Lady Gaga weren't quite as charming, each leaving a different kind of sour note. Lorraine disclosed that conversing with Mariah Carey was a bizarre ordeal. Reflecting on the peculiar situation, Lorraine explained: "The one that was difficult, not because she was horrible... but Mariah Carey was 'refreshed'. It's good we were [pre-recording] it because her first answer was 10 minutes long, and did not make any sense. "But I always give people the benefit of the doubt." When it came to Lady Gaga, the songstress kept Lorraine on tenterhooks for an exasperating five or six hours, all ending in no actual interview, reports the Mirror. Exasperated, Lorraine recalled: "They kept saying 'she's getting in the car, she's getting in the car', and of course my crew have all been up since God knows when... they need to go home to bed!" Lorraine then shared, "She never turned up; I don't know what happened there." The host's revelations come in the wake of speculation that she might leave her morning ITV show at the end of next year, following a significant reshuffle of the daytime schedule. Lorraine will now only be broadcast for 30 weeks a year instead of throughout the year, with each episode being reduced from an hour to 30 minutes. A source disclosed to the Mirror: "Lorraine was not happy about what is happening and also had concern for the production team which will be cut back too." A source informed The Sun on Sunday: "Lorraine was asked if she wanted to retire, having just celebrated her 40 years on breakfast TV, but she instead chose to see out her contract. "Bosses thought it would be an ideal opportunity for her to spend more time with family, especially given how little she was on her own show last year. Many think it is unlikely she will stay on after her current contract and that is further proven by the fact that the boss of her show will be part-time and on a one-year contract. "She is a hugely valued member of the ITV history and is likely to do other shows at the channel, with some thinking she may explore documentaries, travelogues and passion projects." The Mirror has reached out to a representative of Lorraine for comment. It's not only Lorraine's show that's been impacted by the cuts. Loose Women will also occupy the 12.30-1.30pm slot on a seasonal basis of 30 weeks. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
