Platinum recording artists Rihanna and Justin Bieber are set to appear together at Nickelodeon's 23rd Annual Kids’ Choice Awards airing Saturday, March 27 from Los Angeles.

Rihanna and Justin Bieber will pump up the volume with host actor/comedian Kevin James, airing live from UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles on Saturday, March 27 (8-9:30 p.m. ET/PT). 

The annual award show is a big event in Hollywood, boasting a massive popular vote and sweeping audience participation.  It’s the only award show that gives kids the power to vote for their favorites in movies, television, music, sports and much more – and honors their opinions with a live show filled with the stars they love.

In addition to seeing Bieber perform at the slime-filled celebration, one lucky kid will win the once-in-a lifetime opportunity to be his special guest at the show as part of Nickelodeon’s “All Access Sweepstakes with Justin Bieber.” 

From Wednesday, March 3 through Wednesday, March 10, kids can log on here and enter for a chance to win a trip for four to Los Angeles, which includes tickets to the show, an invitation to walk the famed Orange Carpet, exclusive access to Bieber’s  pre-show rehearsal and a private meet-and-greet with the star.  

“This is the biggest TV event of the year for kids and we are thrilled to have megastars Rihanna and Justin Bieber to perform for them live,” said Paula Kaplan, Executive Vice-President, Talent for Nickelodeon and an Executive Producer of the show.  “It is going to get loud, and in true Kids' Choice tradition, these performances will be something our audience will never forget.”  

Justin Bieber has become a YouTube phenomenon, and at the tender age of 16, signed contracts with Usher and L.A. Reid, and has created nothing short of mania with his young fans, dubbed “Bieber-fever.”

His debut album My World was released in November and went platinum in just four short weeks. Next up is his hotly-anticipated sophomore album, My World 2.0, due in stores March 23rd. My World 2.0 rewards Bieber fans with 10 all-new songs, including the lead single, "Baby” featuring Ludacris, which is sky-rocketing to the top of the radio and iTunes charts. Look for Justin Bieber on a worldwide tour coming this summer.

Kids can currently cast their vote online at http://www.nick.com/kca10 in a total of 19 categories. Surprise awards also will be announced during the show.  Kids also will be able to vote via the Nick mobile website (wap.nick.com) and through a KCA iPhone app.
