Justin Bieber, Coldplay and Katy Perry will join Ariana Grande at a charity concert in Manchester, England, on Sunday.

Grande announced Tuesday that the "One Love Manchester" show will be held at the city's Old Trafford cricket ground just under two weeks after a bomber killed 22 people at the pop singer's concert in Manchester.

Other performers will include Pharrell Williams, Miley Cyrus, Usher, Niall Horan and Take That. Proceeds will go to an emergency fund set up by the city of Manchester and the British Red Cross.

"We will not quit or operate in fear. We won't let this divide us. We won't let hate win," Grande said in a statement. "Our response to this violence must be to come closer together, to help each other, to love more, to sing louder and to live more kindly and generously than we did before."

The singer added: "Music is meant to heal us, to bring us together, to make us happy. So that is what it will continue to do for us."

Kim opens up about marriage to Kris

Kim Kardashian says she knew her marriage to Kris Humphries was over as soon as their honeymoon began. The 36-year-old reality star told "Watch What Happens Live" host Andy Cohen that she felt pressured to marry the NBA star because she was getting older. "At the time ... I just thought … I'm 30 years old, I better get this together. I better get married.'" The three-times married star opened up about her second marriage to the former Hopkins prep star who led the Royals to the state basketball title in 2002.

"That last marriage ... that whole situation was just really hard for me," Kardashian said. She said she's like "a lot of girls" who "go through that where they freak out and think that they're getting old and they have to figure it out." In 2011, Kardashian filed for divorce from Humphries after 72 days of marriage. She was previously married to music producer Damon Thomas after eloping in 2000 when she was 19. She is currently married to ­rapper Kanye West; they have two children, a daughter, North, and a son, Saint. The 6-foot-9 Humphries, 32, who played for the Gophers in 2002-03, is now with the Atlanta Hawks.

Pelley looks to be out as CBS anchor

Scott Pelley will return to CBS' "60 Minutes" full time, a source familiar with the matter has told CNN. The departure, first reported by Page Six, had been in the works for some time, and was due in part to the fact that Pelley was struggling to generate ratings. A CBS News spokesperson declined to comment. The network is expected to make a formal announcement on Wednesday. Pelley is currently on assignment for "60 Minutes" and had not hosted "Evening News" for several days. Pelley will anchor the show for an indefinite amount of time before making the move to "60 Minutes." Anthony Mason is likely to host the show after that until CBS names a permanent replacement, the sources told CNN.
