Maroon 5 To Perform At Kids' Choice Show
Maroon 5 will perform their brand new single, "Makes Me Wonder," for the first time live on TV on the 20th Annual Kids' Choice Awards, Nickelodeon announced Monday. The song is the lead single from the group's upcoming album, "It Won't Be Soon Enough For Long."
The Grammy-winning rock band joins previously announced performer Gwen Stefani, who will perform her single "The Sweet Escape" with singer-songwriter Akon.
Justin Timberlake, a two-time Kids' Choice burp contest champion, will host the show, which airs live from Los Angeles on March 31 at 8 p.m. ET on Nickelodeon.
Every year, a stunt is performed involving Nickelodeon's signature green slime. Last year, the stunt was performed by U.S. Olympic freestyle aerial skier Ryan St. Onge, who plunged off a snowy slope into 10,000 gallons of the green gunk. This year, Ryan Seacrest has been tapped to host a "world record slime stunt" featuring bungee jumping.

Traditionally, certain stars are chosen to be "honored" with a surprise shower of green goo. Jack Black, Adam Sandler and Robin Williams were the slimees at last year's event. This year, kids have been invited to vote online to choose what method will be used to slime the stars.
According to the cable network, more than 26 million kids have cast their votes for their favorites in movies, television, music, sports and other categories.
This year's event will be 20 minutes longer than previous ceremonies.
