“BET Awards” (8 p.m., BET): Queen Latifah hosts the 10th annual “BET Awards,” where Prince is scheduled to be feted with the Lifetime Achievement honor. Also, Kanye West is set to perform at his first awards show since his infamous appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards.
“The 37TH Annual Daytime Emmy Awards” (9 p.m., CBS): Daytime TV grabs the prime-time spotlight as Regis Philbin hosts this glitzy salute to soaps, game shows, children’s programming and talk shows. Among the scheduled highlights coming our way from the Las Vegas Hilton is a special tribute to TV icon Dick Clark and his landmark music series, “American Bandstand.” Participating in the love fest will be Cher, Ann-Margret, Marie Osmond, Barry Manilow, Garth Brooks and others. Also, Agnes Nixon (creator of “All My Children” and “One Life to Live”) will receive a lifetime achievement award.
“Hung” (10 p.m., HBO): Being a male hooker apparently isn’t all just fun and games. As Season 2 of “Hung” begins, poor Ray Drecker (Thomas Jane) finds himself caught between two squabbling “pimps” (Jane Adams and Rebecca Creskoff) with very different ideas on how the business should be run.
“Entourage” (10:30 P.M., HBO): Season 7 of “Entourage” kicks off with Vince (Adrian Grenier) feeling great about his role in a big-budget action flick — that is, until his overbearing director implores him to do a highly dangerous stunt.
