MTV Europe Awards To Be Hosted By Justin Timberlake

Justin Timberlake will be bringing sexy back in Europe later this year when he is set to host the MTV Europe Music Awards. The pop singer will also perform live at the prestigious ceremony, along with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nelly Furtado and British band Muse.

Justin said, "I'm really excited to be hosting. I'm working on several ideas with MTV at the moment and there are some great new interactive parts to the show. We're going to take over the city! It's going to be an amazing night. Anything can happen and no one is safe!"

When Justin performed live at the 2004 Superbowl, he ripped open Janet Jackson's outfit, who he was dueting with, to expose her bare breast and a nipple ring.

The Chili Peppers are nominated for Best Group, Best Rock Act, Best Album, for "Stadium Arcadium" and Best Song, for "Dani California."

Madonna, 48, is nominated for Best Female, Best Pop Act and Best Album, for her worldwide hit "Confessions on a Dancefloor."

Host Justin is nominated for two awards this year - Best Male and Best Pop Act - and is going head-to-head with Robbie Williams for both awards.

The ceremony takes place in Copenhagen, Denmark, on November 2 and will be aired on MTV live.
