Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, Martha Stewart to roast Justin Bieber

NEW YORK, March 6 (UPI) -- Snoop Dogg, Ludacris and Martha Stewart will roast Justin Bieber for Comedy Central.

The trio were announced Thursday on Twitter, along with former NBA star Shaquille O'Neal and comedians Hannibal Buress, Chris D'Elia, Natasha Legero and Jeffrey Ross.

"@justinbieber: meet the comedians bringing heat to your #BieberRoast. @KevinHart4real already told 'em: 'go hard,'" the network tweeted.

Noticeably missing from the list was Seth Rogen, whom Bieber has been begging to participate. The actor previously called the pop star "a piece of [expletive]," and his rep said Rogen won't be in town for the event.

Kevin Hart will serve as roast master on the television special March 30. Bieber has released several videos to promote the roast, including one of him getting egged and another mocking his Calvin Klein underwear ads.
