MTV's 2006 Video Music Awards will be serving up a heaping dish of Shakira and "Dani California."

The Colombian pop star's smash hit "Hips Don't Lie" and the catchy Red Hot Chili Peppers' single garnered seven award nominations apiece today, topping a strong field that also includes multiple nominees Madonna, Panic! At the Disco, and Christina Aguilera.

The annual awards show, broadcast live this year on August 31 from Radio City Music Hall in NYC, will feature performances from Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Panic! At The Disco, the Killers, and rappers T.I. and Ludacris. MTV said the Raconteurs, the rock band consisting of White Stripes' frontman Jack White, solo artist Brendan Benson, and two members of the Greenhornes, will provide the live "soundtrack" of the event. The network said it will announce the show's host and other performers in the coming weeks.

"The VMA's is the first place you'll see Justin Timberlake perform, an all new show stopping performance from Beyonce, the much anticipated return of The Killers, T.I., hip hop's newest mega star and the breakout band, Panic! At The Disco," said MTV President, Christina Norman. "This is the beginning of what will no doubt be the most star-studded event and the hottest ticket of the year." MTV is also for the first time opening up voting in all categories to the fans, allowing fans to vote on each category, not just the traditional "viewer's choice" award, starting today.

Madonna and Aguilera smooch it out at the 2003 VMAs. Madonna and Aguilera smooch it out at the 2003 VMAs.

"Hips Don't Lie," "Dani California," Madonna's "Hung Up," Panic! At the Disco's "I Write Sins Not Tragedies," and Aguilera's 1940s jazzclub-themed "Ain't No Other Man" video each scored a nomination for video of the year. Shakira, Madonna, and Aguilera are also nominated for best female video, vying with Kelly Clarkson's "Because of You" (two noms) and Nelly Furtado's "Promiscuous" (three noms).

Busta Rhymes' twice-nominated "Touch It (Remix)" video, featuring Mary J. Blige, Rah Digga, Missy Elliott, Lloyd Banks, Papoose, and DMX, will compete with Nick Lachey's "What's Left of Me," James Blunt's "You're Beautiful," Kanye West's "Gold Digger" (two noms), and T.I.'s "What You Know" (two noms) for the top male video.

The nominees for best group video are the Chili Peppers' "Dani California," Fall Out Boy's "Dance, Dance" (two noms), and Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" (three noms).

Also for the first time, MTV has added two video game-related categories. Nominees for best video game soundtrack include EA's Final Night Round 3 and Burnout Revenge, Atari's Driver: Parallel Lines and Mark Ecko's Getting Up, and 2K Games' NBA 2K6. For best video game score, Jesper Kyd (Hitman: Blood Money), Tom Salta (Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter), Even "Magnet" Johansen (Dreamfall: The Longest Journey), Jeremy Soule (Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion), and Electroplankton's user-genereated soundtrack each scored nominations.

After Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera was the most popular female singer of the late-'90s teen pop revival.

Shakira delights in confounding expectations, and nowhere is that better seen than in how she secured a massive crossover audience on her own terms.

Indulgence has long been a way of life for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, yet they resisted the siren's call of the double album until 2006's Stadium Arcadium.
