While Willow Smith is the one who made music headlines with "Whip My Hair" last year, it's her brother, "Karate Kid" actor Jaden Smith, who will take the stage at the upcoming 53rd Grammy Awards in a special performance alongside Usher and Justin Bieber, with whom he collaborated on the song "Never Say Never" last summer.

The trio joins a list of new performers added to the show on Thursday (January 20) that will also include another power trifecta made up of B.o.B, Bruno Mars and Janelle Monáe, according to a press release from the Recording Academy announcing the additions to the February 13 telecast from the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Also taking the stage next month will be nominees Muse and Lady Antebellum. They will join a roster of previously announced performers that includes Eminem, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Arcade Fire, Cee Lo Green and Miranda Lambert. It will be the first time on the Grammy performance stage for Bieber, B.o.B, Lambert, Mars, Monáe, Muse and Smith. Eminem, Green, Gaga, Perry, Usher and Lady Antebellum will be making return visits for the occasion.

While 11-time Grammy winner Eminem leads the pack in nominations this year (with 10 nods), Mars has seven nominations, and Gaga and Lady Antebellum are not far behind with six nods each. B.o.B has notched five, Perry and Green are each up for four, and Arcade Fire and Lambert are vying for three awards. Bieber, Muse, Usher and Monáe are each nominated for two Grammys.

No details of the collaborative performances were released, but the Grammy announcement promised a rare, never-before-seen event for the Mars, B.o.B and Monáe segment.

With the addition of Antebellum, all five Album of the Year nominees (Eminem, Arcade Fire, Gaga, Perry) are now scheduled to perform on the show. Additional performers, presenters and special segments will be announced soon.

Gucci Mane & Waka Flocka Flame, "Pattycake"

What a week: Weezy's free, TI isn't, Kanye West hurt Georgie's feelings, The Anthology of Rap is woefully inaccurate, Hammer hated on Jay, Cudi quit... Meanwhile, on Earth, Waka Flocka was relatively lauded by Pitchfork and Gucci Mane was jailed for driving shitty way too early in the morning but quickly (whew) released. So let us [...]

Congratulations to Sara Rue! The Jenny Craig spokeswoman lost 50 pounds in seven months, which has given her the freedom to do something she's never done before.

"I've never worn a bikini in my life!" the actress, 33, says in the new issue of Us Weekly. "Not even as a kid. Literally, never."

After joining the weight loss program in 2009, Rue trimmed down from a size 14 to a size 4-6. Given her new body, the star of ABC Family's My Future Boyfriend says she finally had the guts to bare her tummy for a new Jenny Craig ad campaign.

"I looked at the images and said, 'Wow, that looks good. I really like my body.'"

Rue credits her new bod to a 1,200-calorie-a-day diet of Jenny Craig's home-delivered, portion-controlled meals and says this plan was her savior. "It worked when everything else failed," she says.

But, of course, the daunting thought of a swimsuit photo shoot motivated her to hit the gym even harder. To prep for the big reveal, Rue worked up a sweat with hour-long interval training on the treadmill, walking lunges and 100 crunches daily. Plus she met up with a personal trainer twice a week.

"I want someone to have a freaking pool party and invite me," Rue said. "Because I can't tell you how many I've turned down!"

Taylor Swift and Garrett Hedlund Dating?

Taylor Swift and Garrett Hedlund Dating?

He sings, he acts, he's easy on the eyes -- what's not to like?

That may be what Taylor Swift, 21, was thinking during what looks to be a first date with actor Garrett Hedlund. Hedlund, who starred in Tron: Legacy and Country Strong, was spotted on a dinner date with Swift last week in Nashville. The actor, a bit of a country singer himself, has been in town recording a CD.

"It was their first time going out," a source tells Us Weekly. "They've been emailing for a while, and she hinted they should get together."

Hedlund, 26, and Swift met for dinner at about 8 p.m. last Saturday, and he was back at his hotel by 12:30 a.m., according to the magazine.

"She has actually spent time getting to know Garrett," continues the source. "He's cute -- and he's into country music! (She) likes that he's a normal guy."

Swift, who just won entertainer of the year at the Academy of Country Music Awards, is gearing up to continue her Speak Now tour.

But interest continues in her romances as well. She and Jake Gyllenhaal broke up last year, and in February, she went on a date in Los Angeles with Glee hottie Chord Overstreet. Her past boyfriends also include Joe Jonas and Taylor Lautner.

We hope things work out between the young pair, but with Swift's propensity for writing tunes about the men in her life, Hedlund had better be prepared to see this relationship immortalized in song forever.

Courteney Cox and David Arquette Take Coco to Disney World

Courteney Cox and David Arquette Take Coco to Disney World

Proving that dreams really do come true at Disney World, estranged couple Courteney Cox, 46, and David Arquette, 39, reunited for a family vacation with their 6-year-old daughter Coco.

On Tuesday, Arquette posted their happy-looking photos on Twitter -- starting with this family portrait, which he captioned: "Disney World really is the most Magical Place on Earth." (Slightly heartbreaking, no?) He also posted a self-portrait on the Peter Pan ride ("I do the voice of Skully the parrot!" he bragged to his Twitter followers), a goofy Jack Sparrow impression, another shot that was probably taken by Courtney (or maybe Coco?) and one of a Mickey Mouse T-shirt sporting the date 1971 ("I was created in the same year as Disney World!"). Beyond that, Arquette didn't dwell much on the vacation, and went on to post pictures of his trip to Santiago, Chile.

Interestingly, Arquette posted the Disney World photos less than one week after Cox was photographed swimming in St. Barts with her Cougar Town costar Josh Hopkins. In response to speculation -- especially from Cougar fans who want to see the fictional couple become the real deal -- Courteney's rep claimed that the scantily-clad pair was taking a "strictly platonic" tropical vacation. According to the rep, they weren't alone: Daughter Coco and "some other good friends" were also taking in the sunshine.

So where does the Cox-Arquette relationship stand now? Your guess is as good as ours. They're still married, and both of them have expressed their desire to keep their family together. Recently, Cox told Harper's Bazaar that a divorce would bring her "waves of pain"; and Arquette has told everyone who'll listen, from Oprah Winfrey to Howard Stern, how much he still loves his wife. These past few weeks, they've been promoting their film Scream 4 together, and looking pretty affectionate in front of the press. Hopefully there will be more happy family vacations to come.

On Monday (March 28), Lady Gaga reached another milestone in her life, turning 25. And it seems that all her pals didn't forget their Queen Bee on her big day. In fact, the singer even got some birthday love from ... herself.

"Drawing on table at restaurant. If I had to give it all back, but got to keep my fans, that'd be ok," she wrote on Twitter. She included a photo of a drawing she made that reads "Happy Birthday Me" with hearts all around it.

As a birthday treat, her fans trended the hash tag "#bornthisday" in honor of their Mother Monster. In another tweet, she thanked her fans for making her a trending topic on Twitter in honor of her big day. "Thank you for trending #BornThisDay monsters! The sweetest tweet! You are all the present I need in the world. I'll be 25 in about 4 hrs!"

Her "Born This Way" producer, Fernando Garibay, also tweeted some love for Gaga. "Happy Birthday @ladygaga; cause you were Born This Day!!!!" Nicola Formichetti, Gaga's loyal stylist and Thierry Mugler creative director, teased the kind of fun the group was having in honor of Gaga. "So much fun!!!" he wrote. "What a party!! happy birth day my love, gaga!!! #mother monster."

Fellow Gaga collaborator DJ White Shadow, who worked on the track "Government Hooker," shared a similar sentiment, adding, "Fun birthday party tonight."

Gaga pal Perez Hilton, who celebrated his birthday just days ago, sent some love to the pop star on his Twitter. "Hey @ladygaga! Happy birthday, bitch!!!!" he wrote. "BornThisDay LOVE YOU!!!! xoxo"

When MTV News caught up with Hilton at his birthday bash, he had this wish for his birthday: tons more success for Gaga. "My birthday wish for this year is for Lady Gaga's new album, Born This Way, to sell over 1.2 million copies the first week," he said. "That would beat Taylor Swift's 1.1-something!"

In addition to all the birthday love from her inner circle, it was announced on Monday that Lady Gaga would be receiving the "Always Next, Forever Now" Award at Logo's NewNowNext Awards, which air on the network on April 11. She receives the prize three years after she performed for the first time on television during the 2008 show.
