Brunette beauty Selena Gomez will host this year MTV EMAs in Belfast.

Actress and singer Selena Gomez will host this year’s MTV EMAs 2011 in Belfast, Ireland, on November 6, the music channel said on Monday (26.09.11). With her infectious charm, striking style and upbeat energy, the platinum recording artist is guaranteed to help make the 18th annual MTV EMAs a must-watch event.

“I’m so excited to be the host of the 2011 MTV EMAs – it’s a dream come true. This is such a huge event that always recognises the biggest stars in music from across the globe, so it’s a real honour to be MC at this year’s show.”-Selena Gomez said.

The teen sensation has been on the road for the past few months promoting When the Sun Goes Down, the third album from her band, Selena Gomez and the Scene. She has also branched out into fashion with her clothing line, Dream Out Loud, and she is a proud UNICEF ambassador.

As previously announced, Lady Gaga leads the pack of EMAs nominees with six nods, with Katy Perry and Bruno Mars following closely behind with four nominations. Adele, Justin Bieber and Thirty Seconds To Marsare each up for three awards. The 2011 MTV EMAs will be available to a potential viewing audience of more than 1.2 billion people via MTV’s global network of more than 60 channels.

Adam Levine, whose band Maroon 5 is not nominated at this year’s MTV VMA’s, let his feelings known about the event.

The singer tweeted on Saturday (27.08.2011):

“The VMAs [are the] one day a year when MTV pretends to still care about music. I’m drawing a line in the sand. F–k you, VMAs.”

The network quickly responded to Adam Levine’s bitter words via their Twitter telling the singer:

“Soooo you’ll be tuning in at 9/8C tomorrow right? (BTW, bonus points if you TwitPic your 2004 Moonman!)”

But the musician didn’t stop there. Less than 30 minutes later, angry Adam Levine tweeted again:

“Still waiting to have my ‘Jerry Maguire mission statement moment of deep regret.’ Not happening. Phew!”

Seven hours later the Maroon 5 singer tweeted VMAs again, but this time apparently took some time to reflect upon his statement:

“I may be a pop singer. But every once in a while the angsty teenager in me just blurts out some raw honesty. It’s a reflex.”

Maroon 5 won the 2004 MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist following their debut album ‘Songs About Jane.’

The name of the awards show was officially changed from Video Music Awards to the VMAs in 2010, in an apparent attempt to appear less hippocritical about no longer featuring music on “Music Tele Vision”.

Adam Levine is currently on tour with Train and Gavin DeGraw.

British singer Adele, who won three trophies for her mega-hit “Rolling in the Deep” (and received a standing ovation for her stunning live performance of “Someone Like You“)

Justin Bieber, who had his pet snake with him all the time, took the prize for Best Male Video.

Lady Gaga, who showed up as her male alter ego Jo Calderone, accepted Best Female Video award for “Born This Way“.

And Britney Spears who arned a major achievement award and hasn’t yet turned 30, along with the Best Pop Video Award for “Till The World Ends“.

The biggest surprise, and maybe the best moment on the MTV Video Music Awards, was Beyonce‘s announcement that she and rapper Jay-Z are expecting their first child.

The night’s emotional highlight came when Russel Brand took the stage to make a tribute to the late British singer, Amy Winehouse.

Among the MTV Video Music Awards winners: Britney Spears, Katy Perry and Justin Bieber (with girlfriend Selena Gomez)

Big reason for big smile: Katy Perry's five number one singles equal Michael Jackson's record.

Katy Perry has become the first woman to have five number one singles from the same album on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Her latest song ‘Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F)’ made history as it became her fifth single from platinum record ‘Teenage Dream’ to reach the top spot, after the success of ‘California Gurls‘, ‘Teenage Dream’, ‘Firework’ and ‘E.T.‘

The late pop legend Michael Jackson achieved the same record when his album Bad featured five number one singles between 1987 and 1988 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Katy Perry must be really proud being compared to the King of Pop.

“What a way to wake up! SO proud to announce that the little-engine-that-could of a song ‘LAST FRIDAY NIGHT’ is officially #1 & made HISTORY! (sic)”-she wrote on her Twitter account to announce the great news.

Katy Perry later praised her fans for helping her become the first woman in music to equal Michael Jackson’s record.

“& u know, I couldn’t have done it with out ya, really I owe u guys BIG… so take this moment to give yourself a high FIVE!!! #allbecauseofu (sic)”-she added afterwards.

Katy Perry's fun-loving music made a record that only Michael Jackson has done it before.
