The 17-year-old singer, who is currently promoting his first Christmas album, "Under the Mistletoe," is confirmed to perform live.

During his June 23, 2011 appearance, Bieber walked out with hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Sherri Shepherd and joined them for "Hot Topics." He was also victorious during a Segway scooter race against co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck on "The View" set.

Bieber is also kicking-off his ambitious "Believe Charity Drive" and will donate a portion of the proceeds from the November 1st holiday release, "Under the Mistletoe," to charity. Additionally, he is calling on fans to contribute to seven specific charities, launching an ambitious effort to raise millions of dollars in total donations.

Bieber chose these organizations for their emphasis on education, youth wellbeing and, of course, music. Contributions will also be made to additional localized charities in certain international markets.
