Though Emilio Estevez isn't confirmed, in attendance will be Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, Anthony Michael Hall and Judd Nelson, reports the Associated Press. Mariah Carey and Eminem are also scheduled to perform. Not showing up, however, will be Nine Inch Nails, who have pulled out of in the wake of a disagreement over their idea to include an image of President Bush in their performance of the song "The Hand That Feeds," the group has announced. Foo Fighters will replace them on the show.
