The Grammy Awards vowed several years ago to try to update the image of the annual music-industry awards buffet. And while the Recording Academy has made great strides in spicing up the show with more contemporary artists and performances, 2009 is shaping up to be the year that the Grammys go IN. It was announced this morning that joining the performance roster for the February 8 show is Katy Perry, Lil' Wayne, Coldplay, and Jennifer Hudson. The icing on the cake however, is a pair of hip-hop performances: one featuring T.I. and Justin Timberlake, and another, featuring the all-star cast of the hit “Swagga Like Us” - Jay-Z, Lil' Wayne, T.I. and Kanye West. Wayne and Rihanna have also been drafted as part of the ad blitz to drum up excitement for the show, the Los Angeles Times reports.
