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!"

Shakira and the Red Hot Chili Peppers are set to storm this year's MTV Music Video Awards after receiving seven nominations each. The nominations for the ceremony were announced July 31 by Beyonce Knowles, as MTV celebrated its 25th anniversary.

Shakira and the Chili Peppers will compete for prestigious Video of the Year prize, along with Madonna, Christina Aguilera, and Panic! At The Disco. The Red Hot Chili Peppers have been nominated for the promo for 'Dani California' and Shakira for 'Hips Don't Lie'.
