Additionally, Sean Kingston will be bringing his "Fire Burning" to the ceremony, one of many musical performances that also include Miley Cyrus, The Black Eyed Peas and show hosts the Jonas Brothers.

Hugh Jackman, Dane Cook, Twilight stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, Zac Efron, Megan Fox, Cameron Diaz, the cast of "Glee," plus dozens of other performers are also on slate for the two-hour FOX TV special.

Nominees are competing for Choice Hotties, Choice Movie Liplock and Choice Twit, all of which are voted on by fans.
