Zeta-Jones, Latifah dueting

If only she were singing “Having My Baby.”

A tremendously pregnant Catherine Zeta-Jones has agreed to perform in Sunday’s Academy Awards, joining Queen Latifah in singing “Chicago’s” nominated song, “I Move On.”

The John Kander and Fred Ebb tune had been performed in the movie musical by Zeta-Jones and Renee Zellweger, but Zellweger declined to perform in front of the Oscars’ global television audience.

Zeta-Jones, more than eight months’ pregnant, and Latifah will be joined on stage by more than a dozen dancers in a sequence choreographed by “Chicago” director Rob Marshall and John DeLuca.

The academy has not announced who will perform Eminem’s “Lose Yourself,” the nominated song from “8 Mile.” The rapper’s record label says he is taking time off and will not attend the show.

Of the remaining nominated songs, U2 will perform “The Hands That Built America” from “Gangs of New York,” folk singers Lila Downs and Caetano Veloso will croon “Burn It Blue” from “Frida,” and Paul Simon will sing “Father and Daughter” from “The Wild Thornberrys Movie.”
