Grammy Hips Don't Lie, Ok!!

Grammys just announced the last string of performers and my Latina Lova Shakira is performing for the first time on the show!! Roxie's hips and lips don't lie, Popsters!! And I love me some Natasha Bedingfield (she's currently working on a new album that's slated to come out fall of this year so be on the look out -- so far the entire album is, well, unwritten!). Read it for yourselves...

International sensation and current nominee Shakira will perform, and fellow nominee Wyclef Jean will join her; current nominees Chris Brown, Lionel Richie and Smokey Robinson will take the stage in a special GRAMMY Moment segment paying tribute to the tradition of great male R&B artists (and TTGP hears Ms. Aguilera is joining them for a surprise ending!!); and nominees Rascal Flatts will perform with previously announced nominee Carrie Underwood in a tribute to country rock on the 49th Annual Grammy Awards, it was announced today by The Recording Academy.

Two-time Grammy-winning and seven-time Latin Grammy-winning international sensation Shakira and three-time Grammy winner Wyclef Jean are nominated for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals for "Hips Don't Lie." Newcomer Chris Brown has two nods: Best New Artist and Best Contemporary R&B Album for Chris Brown. Four-time Grammy winner Lionel Richie is up for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for "I Call It Love," and Best R&B Album for Coming Home. Grammy winner and music legend Smokey Robinson is nominated for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for Timeless Love. Country music sensation Rascal Flatts is up for Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal for "What Hurts The Most."

Also, new presenters added to the all-star lineup include current nominee Natasha Bedingfield, current nominee and 12-time Grammy winner Tony Bennett, current nominee comedian Lewis Black, Academy Award winner Nicolas Cage, current Lifetime Achievement Award honoree Ornette Coleman, two-time Grammy Award winner LeAnn Rimes, current nominee Nicole Scherzinger (of the Pussycat Dolls), three-time Grammy winner Seal, and actor David Spade (do we think the only funny thing about Spade's new "Rules of Engagement" will be Spade himself?). The music industry's premier kudofest and live concert will take place live on Sunday, Feb. 11, at 8 p.m. (ET/PT).

Previously announced performers include Christina Aguilera; Beyoncé (seeing Oscar-nominated "Listen" from fab "Dreamgirls"); Mary J. Blige; the Dixie Chicks (love 'em); Gnarls Barkley; John Legend, John Mayer and Corinne Bailey Rae all performing together; the Red Hot Chili Peppers; Justin Timberlake (solo performance and with the winner of the "My GRAMMY Moment" competition); the Police (opening the show!!); and Carrie Underwood.
