Lady Gaga to perform at Grammy nominations show in LA

Lady Gaga is to perform at next month's Grammy Award nominations show at LA's Nokia Theatre.
The US singer, who is also a possible contender for a prize, will sing live on stage on Wednesday 30 November.
Only a handful of the 78 categories will be announced at the event.
The Grammys take place in Los Angeles on Sunday 12 February and will again be hosted by LL Cool J, who fronted the show at the Staples Centre earlier this year.
The American Recording Academy has reduced the number of categories at next year's Grammys from 109 to 78.
It follows criticism that there were too many awards and that voting members had not heard of many of the artists nominated.
Many existing categories have been merged, while some have been dropped completely.
Top awards, such as best album, remain. While separate male and female vocal categories in fields like pop, R&B and country will now compete against each other.
Also, if a category attracts fewer than 25 entries, it will be removed that year and ditched completely if that happens for three years in a row.
Country trio Lady Antebellum won five awards at this year's Grammy Awards.
Lady Gaga, Jay-Z and John Legend all won three prizes.
