The Grammy Awards used to offer a dry lineup of performers, but not this year...

New performances were announced today, including T.I. and Justin Timberlake. The hip-hop palette is also going to be mixed with a watch-worthy trio performance of "Swagga Like Us" featuring, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, and Kanye West (a.k.a. Martin Louis the King Jr.). Los roqueros are also dominating the mic with modern power players like Radiohead (who are up for five Grammy's) rocking the stage on February 8th.

La loca Katy Perry, 'Viva la Vida' Coldplay, country songstress Carrie Underwood, and Los Jonas Brothers are only a few of the other pop stars hitting the stage. Now we are just wondering dónde están los Latinos????? Hopefully, Wisin y Yandel get added in the upcoming announcements. What other Latino artists do you think should hit the stage? [MTV News]

Katy Perry's quinceañera stunt at Los Premios was no joke (well, sort of)! The "I Kissed A Girl" singer had one of the most talked about award show moments since Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Madonna's three-way kiss at the VMAs.

Her merciless jump only made up for 2.5 seconds of the madness (yeah we counted!). It was really her crazy frosting smack followed by a frantically paralyzing finale that truly added the pink icing to the cake. Did Katy experience one-to-many tequila shots or was the entire incident staged? MTV News' Sway Calloway recently caught-up with her novio and Gym Class Heroes vocalist Travis McCoy to get the real 411 on her performance.

SMACK! Katy Perry may own bragging rights to her girl-on-girl besito sessions, but we discovered a sweet new trademark for la cantante...

'Los Premios' Dulce Quinceañera' sounds about right! The "I Kissed A Girl" starlet traded her red lipstick for pink frosting after diving into a super-sized birthday cake at the end of her set. Not only did the fall look painful, but so did her unsuccessful recovery. After three failed attempts to stand-up, la pobre Katy ended up crawling her way off-stage like a perrito on all fours! Besides getting a taste of embarrassment, the "Hot and Cold" singer was nice enough to share a piece of her tortita with her band members. Haven't caught the infamous performance yet? Entonces check it right below!

We all know Katy Perry stole all of the cake batter, but she definitely didn't take all the glory. Los Premios was filled with debut moments including Calle 13 and Café Tacuba's premiere performance of their energetic collaboration “No Hay Nadie Como Tú.” We noticed Residente have an early start on the track, but he finished it just right by jumping into a crowd of hungry fans. The Boricua was quickly devoured and walked back on-stage shirtless (¡Ay, que chulo!).

Juanes también left the ladies swooning after debuting his new bilingual single "Odio Por Amor/Love For Hate." The revolutionary roquero chanted "It's Time To Change" while he also paid tribute to Metallica's legacy by shouting his love for '¡La mejor banda del hijuep**ta mundo!'

You think these moments are bad ass? Be sure to check out more performance pictures of Los Premios right below the hood!
