The 2006 MTV Video Music Awards, scheduled to air live on MTV (8 p.m. EDT), will take place Aug. 31 at Radio City Music Hall in New York. The awards, which debuted in New York in 1984, have been held in Miami the last two years.

Madonna, Shakira and Aguilera are also nominated for best female video with Kelly Clarkson ("Because of You") and Nelly Furtado ("Promiscuous").

Nick Lachey's "What's Left of Me," which recreates his breakup with Jessica Simpson, will vie for best male video with James Blunt ("You're Beautiful"), Kanye West ("Gold Digger"), T.I. ("What You Know") and Busta Rhymes (for his remix of "Touch It," featuring Mary J. Blige and Missy Elliot).

The bands for best group video include the Chili Peppers, Fall Out Boy ("Dance, Dance") and Gnarls Barkley ("Crazy").

Janet Jackson feat. Nelly - Call On Me Video!!

Janet Jackson was so nervous shooting her latest video, Call On Me, she insisted on performing, surrounded by screens - so no one could watch her. The newly-slim star appears with Nelly in the promo, wearing nearly-there exotic Eastern garb, complete with a jewelled forehead. But the fact she was revealing a lot of flesh in the video wasn't the reason for Jackson's bashfulness - she always struggles to act up in videos. The pop superstar, who has performed in front of millions around the world on the biggest stages, admits she's terrified of close encounters with strangers. She explains, "I'm not nearly as shy as I used to be... I was just embarrassed to walk across a room if people were in the room, but I could perform on a stage. "I still get like that. On the set (of the video) I asked them to... kind of pin me in because I could see people watching and I get really embarrassed." The video, directed by Hype Williams, was shot in an aircraft hangar in Santa Monica, California earlier this month. Jackson's boyfriend and producer, Jermaine Dupri, insists the promo, which will debut on US cable network BET tonight, will stun fans: "It's the most expensive video of the last three years."

Beyonce's new Video "Deja Vu" Featured Jay-Z
Sure, this video's hot, like another Beyonce Knowles video, this Deja Vu's video close up beauty shots and dancing.


R&B beauty Beyonce Knowles recorded her forthcoming second album B'DAY in secret, because she knew her manager father Mathew would interfere.
The former Destiny's Child singer spent months on her debut disc Dangerously In Love and was left exhausted after spending so much time in the studio.
Beyonce admits she told the studio team on B'Day, "Don't tell my daddy. Don't tell my mama. Don't tell anybody ... (including) the label.
"So two weeks later, I called my dad and said, 'My record's done.' He was, like, 'What!?'" She tells American magazine Giant, "I was, like, 'Don't you dare ever ask me to take that long to do a record. I'm never doing that again.' I didn't tell him 'cause I didn't want that pressure.
"It took a while for me and my dad to have an understanding, because he thinks everyone's supposed to work like him. When I turned 18 and started handling my business more, he went into shock." Beyonce often fought with Mathew during her teenage years because "I'd say 'no' to something and he'd book it anyway." Source

Shakira - Bamboo Hips Don't Lie (Live At World Cup 2006)

Shakira - Bamboo Hips Don't Lie (Live At World Cup 2006) video performance!
The anticipated performance at the closing ceremony of the FIFA World Cup 2006. Very Rare! as it was not broadcast on many TV Stations so enjoy!

Drummers, dancers, opera singers and Colombian pop star Shakira starred in an exuberant ceremony to celebrate the World Cup just before the kickoff of the final between Italy and France.

Pop-opera quartet Il Divo sang the official World Cup song The Time of Our Lives with soul diva Toni Braxton to open the short ceremony on the steps behind one of the goals in Berlin's Olympiastadion.

Drummers pounding out a frenetic beat danced around the steps before Shakira emerged to sing her current hit Hips Don't Lie.

Fans of both teams mingled in the evening sunshine outside the stadium before the game, many in the blue shirts of their teams and some sporting Mohican-style wigs in national colours which have been a big hit at this World Cup.

Supporters from many other nations were also enjoying the build-up, including Scots in their kilts and Mexicans sporting sombreros. Flags draped inside the stadium reflected an array of countries from Australia through to China and Poland.

Despite the international feel, the event retained a German flavour, with fans munching on bratwurst sausages and pretzels.

French supporters held aloft scarves declaring The Heart of the Blues Beats Here while a bolder banner from their rivals proclaimed Tonite God Is Italian. Source

Beyonce Knowles: Look My Talent Not My Body

Superstar Beyonce Knowles blames her beautiful looks for preventing people from seeing what a talented artist she really is. The former Destiny's Child singer has enjoyed a flourishing solo career and has had movie success starring in films including The Pink Panther - but she still yearns to be respected as an artist. The 24-year-old says, "It's frustrating, because sometimes, when you are attractive, people don't acknowledge that you are talented as well. "I mean, I'm a songwriter, I'm a producer, I have a strong voice, I'm a dynamic performer. Sometimes people forget that." Source
