Grammy Performers Announced: Beyonce, Chilis, Gnarls and Chicks

The 49th annual Grammy Awards announced the first four of its scheduled performers today (Jan. 11th), with more performers expected to be added between now and Feb. 11th, when the awards show takes place. All of the four announced artists -- Beyonce, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Dixie Chicks, and Gnarls Barkley -- received multiple nominations this year, and all except Gnarls have won Grammys in past years.

The Grammys also began announcing some of the presenters scheduled to appear at the Feb. 11th show, which will be broadcast live on CBS. Among those handing out this year's little gold gramophones: Rihanna, Pink -- herself a nominee, for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance -- and actors Terrence Howard and Samuel L. Jackson (who no doubt will be handing out the new Baddest Muthaf**kin' Vocal Performance award).
