Britney Spears' MTV Europe nod

Britney Spears has been nominated for two MTV Europe Music Awards.

The 'Gimme More' singer - who scooped two prizes at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this month - has been shortlisted for Album of the Year for 'Blackout' and Act of 2008.

Britney - who is set to release new album 'Circus' in November - will face competition from troubled star Amy Winehouse for the Act of 2008 award, despite several heavily criticised live performances from the 'Back To Black' singer this year.

The 26-year-old singer will battle against Alicia Keys, Coldplay, Duffy and Leona Lewis in the Album of the Year category.

Beyonce is set to perform at the November 6 ceremony in Liverpool, England, to launch her new album.

The R'n'B star - who is married to rapper Jay-Z - is also up for the Ultimate Urban prize.

Katy Perry's 'I Kissed A Girl' has made it into the Most Addictive Track list, alongside Kid Rock's 'All Summer Long' and Pink's 'So What'.
