Beyonce To Be Saluted by Michelle Obama, Bono, Stevie Wonder, Lady Gaga

Beyonce, prepare to be bowled over. A highlight at this weekend's Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas will undoubtedly be the tribute to honor the pop star with the Millennium Award. And the stage will be overflowing with famous friends saluting her talent.

Access Hollywood is reporting that none other than First Lady Michelle Obama will step into the spotlight take part in the tribute. Beyonce serenaded President Obama and his wife with 'At Last,' as they danced at an inauguration ball in early 2009.

Insiders say other luminaries eager to honor Beyonce include Lady Gaga (her collaborator on the hit single 'Telephone'), Bono, Stevie Wonder and Barbra Streisand.

Ken Jeong, star of 'Hangover 2' and 'Community,' will host the star-studded event, which will also include performances from Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Keith Urban, Cee Lo Green and the Black Eyed Peas.

The roster of presenters includes Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez and 'Glee' star Matthew Morrison. The Billboard Music Awards will air Sunday (8 p.m. ET) on ABC.

The president's wife honoring a pop star? Tacky.
This is America, where pop stars, celebrities with mugshots and president's that hang with Justin Beiber reign. Sad.

Is this Michelle Owama's greatest talent? Celebrating so called celebreties in the White House at the taxpayers expense?
She even had her lawyers license taken away.

By cat5400

Seems like a big waste of taxpayers money for her to go where she shouldn't be going. It's not a political event (well, maybe it is now). This first family doesn't know yet how to make the right choices. Not for themselves personally and not for this country.

By Donna

You need to get off the drugs...greatest president ever...I mean seriously...what planet are you living on?????

By lolojah

Sorry, but I don't see what she's done musically to be saluted for. She's not an outstanding singer. No doubt that she gets by MAINLY because of her looks. This is a sex symbol role model, who wants to be even more sexy; then, eventhough she's married, in her songs she tells women there are no good men out there, so be independent.
