Nicki Minaj, Florence + the Machine and LMFAO will be in Times Square on New Year's Eve. The acts are the latest additions to the star-studded lineup for the 40th annual "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" extravaganza. They join a lineup that already boasts Justin Bieber and : Lady Gaga.
The show, which will be anchored by "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest, with help from Fergie in Los Angeles and Jenny McCarthy in New York and will air live from 8 p.m. until after midnight on December 31. The Los Angeles portion of the show has added Taio Cruz, Minaj, Florence, Gym Class Heroes, Blink-182, OneRepublic, the Band Perry, will.i.am. and Christina Perri. Gaga, Bieber, Pitbull and Hot Chelle Rae will be on hand for the New York portion of the show.
The performance will help cap a busy holiday season for Bieber, whose first-ever holiday album, Under the Mistletoe, crept back into the top three this week on the Billboard 200 album charts as it steams its way toward 700,000 sold.
