MTV has recently announced the host for this year’s MTV Europe Music Awards. For the second time in a row, that responsibility goes to Katy Perry. MTV execs were pleased with the singer’s performance last year in Liverpool so they’ve asked her to take on the job once again. This marks the first time that MTV has ever asked someone to host two consecutive EMAs. Congratulations to Katy! This year’s awards show will take place in Berlin on November 5th. So far, the only performers confirmed for the show are Green Day and Leona Lewis. Who would you like to see perform?

Former Britain’s Got Talent winner George Sampson says he feels let down by Simon Cowell just a year after winning the show.

Dancer George reportedly said he feels Simon has forgotten him after he made a loss on his DVD.

The 16-year-old thinks he has taken a backseat to music acts such as Alexandra Burke and superstar Leona Lewis.

And the youngster said he has ended up owing money to Cowell’s company for his dance disc Access 2 All Areas.

He told British newspaper The Sun: “Things aren’t going so well with me and Simon. I suppose he’s realised he can make more money out of other people. But I thought we were tight. I had one of the best-selling DVDs at the start of the year. We sold loads of copies.”

He added: “But I’ve just found out that Simon’s company takes 90 per cent of the revenue. I get 10 per cent. But I have to pay the production costs out of that. So I ended up owing them money.

“I’m not quite sure how it all works, but that can’t be fair, can it?”

Leona Lewis has been crowned the Sexiest Vegetarian by PETA for the second year in a row. The X-Factor winner has been living the greens only lifestyle since the age of 12 and holds to the belief that animals aren’t ours to wear. The singer, who also happens to be working on a vegan clothing line, said “I am vegetarian so I don’t have clothes, shoes or bags made from leather or suede or any animal products. … I’m on a mission.” Now she is a true role model for everyone to look up to. She’s got beauty, talent, brains and she won’t give up her beliefs for anyone.

Leona Lewis is getting geared up to make her sophomore album and amongst the many people she’s working with, the X Factor champ will be joining forces with Girls Aloud song writing and producing team, Xenomania. Songwriter Miranda Cooper said “We are not going to change Leona’s style but it’s interesting for us to do something downbeat; tragic songs with a twist.” If they want to know what it’s like to make those types of songs, just try to go a back a bit on Justin Timberlake’s career. Those songs are what came to mind when Miranda talked about what they’re trying to do for Leona.

Leona Lewis is still out promoting her album ‘Spirit’. It’s not like it needs any more support really. The 23-year old singer remained at number one in the singles chart for a second week in the UK with her cover of Snow Patrol’s ‘Run’. Leona will also be performing with other female acts to celebrate New Year’s Even in the main square in the UK. She was also recently named America’s Top New Artist for this year by Billboard magazine. Leona has done all the right things this year and it can only get better. She’s someone I’m really rooting for to have great success.
