What The F–k Will Happen At Zedd’s Movie Awards Performance?

Zedd has been known to throw outrageous dance parties at his shows, and tonight's performance at the 2014 MTV Movie Awards should be no different.

Zedd will be performing his song "Find You" from the "Divergent" soundtrack with Miriam Bryant and Matthew Koma. Ellie Goulding is also performing her "Divergent" song "Beating Heart."

While you may be expecting confetti and lasers, I have something else in mind — something crazier, foxier, sexier and ... more sensitive? Here they are: my predictions for Zedd's performance.

Live Animals
Sure, Zedd might've done that song "Clarity" with Foxes, but he's never performed with actual foxes. Imagine a bunch of red, fluffy foxes sprinting onstage right as the beat dropped. Or Megan Fox. That'd be fun too.

Laser Cats
No EDM show is complete without lasers. Let's take it a step further and say that Zedd's going to have lasers... but they're going to shoot out of the eyes of giant cats. Yeah.

When Doves Cry
During the show, balloons will float down from the rafters. Each balloon will have a white dove in it. As the balloons pop, the doves will flock away, crying single tears onto the crowd as they fly out a secret door.

Things Will Get Orchestral
Maybe you don't know this, but Zedd is a classically trained musician. And while we've seen him ditch his synth and mixers for piano in the acoustic "Stay the Night" video, it would be insane if came onstage with a full orchestra.

Crazy Cameos
It wouldn't be a full stunt unless Movie Awards ...

OutKast Coachella Reunion: The ATLiens Still Got It

INDIO, California — To prove all the hype about their reunion was warranted, OutKast stormed the stage Friday night at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival with a hyper version of one of their most-frenetic tracks, "B.O.B."

From there, everything the Atlanta hip-hop duo pulled out on their opening-night set — from the title track of 1996's ATLiens to "Skew It on the Bar-B" and "Rosa Parks" — sounded so tight, they gave no reason to suspect they hadn't performed together in nearly a decade.

Coachella was fans' first chance to see Big Boi and Andre 3000 perform songs from their landmark 2003 double album, Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, the best-selling album in hip-hop history, even a decade later. The duo never toured in support of the album and announced their indefinite hiatus just a few years after its release.

"It's good to be back," Big Boi said.

It seems producer Rico Wade's efforts to land his cousin Future a Coachella guest spot were successful: Future performed "Same Damn Time" and "Ain't No Way Around It" and played a new track to promote his upcoming April 22 release.

Janelle Monáe — who bounded onstage with her usual enthusiasm for her Big Boi-featuring "Tightrope" — proved she has enough swagger to play with the big boys and proclaimed, "This is my favorite music ever, and what we are seeing right here is history."

They dipped into their individual tracks: Big Boi with his feature on Purple Ribbon All-Stars' "Kryptonite (I'm On It)" and "Shutterbugg," and Andre — whose often-flashy duds were toned down to ...
