Justin Bieber isn't nominated in any of the categories at this Sunday's 2011 BET Awards, but that isn't stopping the teen superstar from making an appearance. With so many of his pals up for prizes at the show, it's anyone's guess what the Biebs might do come awards day, and he's keeping it a surprise.

"You never know. I will never tell you, ever, even if there was a fire right now," the singer joked to MTV News on Thursday at a New York City event for his fragrance, Someday. "I wouldn't tell you. I can't tell you [or I'd] have to kill you."

Usher, Chris Brown, Drake, former crush Beyoncé and Kanye West are among the performers nominated this year and they're also pals of Bieber's. And while he's excited for all of them, Justin said he's rooting hardest for his countryman. "I'm rooting for Drake," he said of his fellow Canadian. "Drake is my homey."

Brown has six nods, Lil Wayne has five, and Kanye West, Drake and Rihanna each have four. The Video of the Year category has a surprising mix of contenders, including Willow Smith for "Whip My Hair," Marsha Ambrosius' "Far Away," B.o.B's "Airplanes," Brown's "Look at Me Now," Hilson's "Pretty Girl Rock" and West's "Runaway."

In addition to the big-name nominees, among the A-list performers slated to take the stage at Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium are Beyoncé, Jill Scott, Alicia Keys, Lil Wayne, Drake and Brown. Nicki Minaj and Bruno Mars have also been added to the show's lineup.

The 2011 BET Awards, hosted by comedian Kevin Hart, air live on Sunday, June 26, at 8 p.m. ET on BET.

'Jersey Shore' Cast Returns to Seaside Heights

'Jersey Shore' Cast Returns to Seaside Heights

They're home! After spending six weeks partying hard in Florence, Italy, the Jersey Shore cast has returned to Seaside Heights, N.J., to begin filming the show's fifth season.

Snooki, JWOWW, Deanna and the rest of their cohorts were snapped hanging out at the original Jersey Shore house on Monday. No doubt the cast is happy to be back in comfortable surroundings, speaking their language and bronzing their bods in American tanning beds.

Last week, rumors surfaced that MTV would be replacing the cast after this summer, but the network was quick to put the kibosh on that talk.

"We love the present cast and their summer adventures have just begun," a MTV spokesperson said. "We currently have no plans to recast the show."

And even if they tried, original member Pauly "DJ Pauly D" Delvecchio says lightning could never strike twice.

"I think we're irreplaceable," he told People.com, during an appearance in Las Vegas. "I don't think they could replace us. They'd just be people trying to be like us, anyway."

The fourth season of Jersey Shore begins on Aug. 4.

Lil Wayne Says Sorry For The Wait With New Mixtape

Weezy apologizes for Tha Carter IV delay, in Mixtape Daily.

Don't Sleep: Necessary Notables

Headliner: Lil Wayne

Mixtape: Sorry for the Wait

Key Cameo: Lil B, is the only confirmed guest so far.

Real Spit: Nobody likes album delays. Lil Wayne is well aware of this fact. SO, to make up for the multiple pushbacks of Tha Carter IV, Weezy will be dropping a new mixtape, aptly titled Sorry for the Wait, in the coming weeks.

"The mixtape is called Sorry for the Wait, and it's because [manager Cortez Bryant] pushed the album back so, sorry for the wait," Weezy told Shaheem Reid in outtakes from an interview for XXL's July/August issue.

At the time of the interview, which took place on June 13, the Young Money CEO revealed that he was only three songs deep on Sorry but was in back in mixtape mode and planned to include guests like Lil B on the project. According to Wayne, the tape will be formatted in a similar way to his 2009 project No Ceilings and will feature the lyrical dynamo rapping over other artist's tracks.

The tactic allows Wayne to jump on songs that he didn't get the chance to, in an attempt to put his own stamp on them. "Yeah, it's gonna be just like No Ceilings, taking the f--- over a n---a's beat. You know what it is, killin' n---as sh--," he said. "Make a n---a pissed, mad as a mother----er he ain't call me to get on that mother----er originally. Like, 'F---, if I'd have took this n---a call this n---a's song wouldn't be hotter than mine!"

As it stands now, Tha Carter IV is scheduled to drop August 29 after being pushed back from its May and June release dates.

SPLITSVILLE: "Basketball Wives" Star Jennifer Williams FINALLY Files For Divorce

As we sadly (or eagerly...your pick) watched Jennifer Williams' marriage to Eric Williams fall apart before our eyes on "Basketball Wives" last season, the reality star has pulled the final trigger and filed those papers.  Deets inside.....

TMZ reports that reality star Jennifer Williams has officially filed divorce papers at the Hudson County Superior Court in New Jersey. And she's likely decked out in a fab maxi dress and 5-inch heels from Dulce somewhere in Miami right now.  Sources reports that she is seeking spousal support from her son-to-be ex-husban Eric Williams and an "equal distribution of their assets."  Whatever that means.

Hopefully she gets it because she can't wait by the mailbox for child support like her friends.  

If this aint a WOMP situation if I ever seen one....

Chuckie Will Debut Michael Jackson Remix In Miami

Official 'Hollywood Tonight' remix coming to Miami Music Week.

Leaving the South by Southwest festival, Lavo New York and Las Vegas' Marquee in his wake, house DJ Chuckie has his sights set on the week ahead. With Miami Music Week now upon us, Chuckie plans to seize the opportunity to debut new material. Fans will be tickled to know the Dutch producer has tracks in the can with Kelly Rowland and T-Pain, but when MTV News caught up with him Friday in New York, Chuckie shared the achievement of which he's most proud.

"I did a Michael Jackson remix, which was really scary — to touch Michael Jackson vocals," Chuckie said. "I did this remix for this track 'Hollywood Tonight.' I couldn't say it for a minute: The label called me, and they said, 'You can't say nothing about this. It's kind of a secret project.' It's gonna come out anytime now."

"Hollywood Tonight" was originally produced by Teddy Riley for Jackson's posthumous Michael album, and Chuckie's mix of the song will be the sole official remix of the track.

"I will play it Miami," Chuckie revealed. "I told them this is the best week to launch the remix. So it feels really good. I'm the only one remixing that Michael Jackson track, and they are considering it a single. For me, especially, it's an honor to remix the King of Pop because he died on my birthday."

So, will the mix be a thundering Chuckie Dutch house banger or will it have a melodic progressive house feel, like his Marquee remix of Diddy-Dirty Money's "I Hate That You Love Me"? Well, according to the "Let the Bass Kick" producer, fans will be getting a healthy dose of both.

"I had to bring in the raucous," Chuckie confessed. "Yeah, I did the Chuckie flavor, but then again, I wanted to make it really musical, so I went progressive (house) on it."

Chuckie will be performing twice at Miami Music Week: at the Cr2 Records Party at Wall Lounge on Wednesday, and then headlining "No Sugar Added" at Nikki Beach on Friday.

Are you excited to hear Chuckie's remix of Michael Jackson's "Hollywood Tonight"? Let us know in the comments below!
