In addition to letting slip that Jay-Z and Alicia Keys would grace this year’s Video Music Awards with a performance of their collaboration “Empire State of Mind,” MTV has announced more additions to its roster of presenters for Sunday night’s broadcast; among them are Canadian cutie Justin Bieber, Shakira, Pete Wentz, Gabe Saporta, Jack Black, and… Jennifer Lopez. Jennifer Lopez, really? I guess she still counts as a music-related celebrity—and who knows, maybe she’s prepping for a very belated deluxe reissue of the floptastic Brave! The night’s roster of performers and presenters after the jump. Performers (main stage): Janet Jackson (tribute to Michael Jackson) Jay-Z feat. Alicia Keys Beyoncé Pink Lady GaGa Green Day Taylor Swift Muse Performers (side stage with Wale and the UCB): Kid Cudi All-American Rejects Pitbull 3OH!3 Presenters: Ne-Yo Nelly Furtado Robert Pattinson Kristen Stewart Taylor Lautner Chace Crawford Leighton Meester Miranda Cosgrove Jennifer Lopez Megan Fox Shakira Jack Black 50 Cent Andy Samberg Jimmy Fallon Kristin Cavallari Pete Wentz Gerard Butler Tracy Morgan Adam Brody Alexa Chung Jamie-Lynn Sigler Gabe Saporta Justin Bieber … and a “special appearance” by Eminem, which was no doubt written into the contract for Marshall’s Bruno-promoting stunt at the network’s Movie Awards back in May.
