Los Angeles, CA, United States (AHN) – Just when MTV’s EMAs couldn’t seem to get any hotter, with Eva Longoria as host and performances by Katy Perry and Ke$ha, Shakira has been added to the line-up to make things a little bit more “Loca.”

The “Te Dejo Madrid” singer will hit Madrid for the EMAs, sure to perform a hit from her upcoming “Sale El Sol” disc. Shakira also performed “Did It Again” at last year’s show.

British rapper/soul singer Plan B will also hit the stage for his first EMAs performance. His “Defamation of Strickland Banks” entered the UK charts at #1 and earned a #1 R&B single with “She Said.”

“This will be my first time in Spain and at the MTV awards,” said Plan B. “Nothing reminds me more of how far I’ve come in the last six months than opportunities like this.”

Shakira and Plan B join other previously announced performers, including former two-time host Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Kings of Leon, Kid Rock, and Linkin Park. Longoria hosts for the first time, following in the footsteps of pop idols Perry, Christina Aguilera, and Timberlake, among others.

DJ Pauly D of MTV’s “Jersey Shore,” Emily Osment of “Hannah Montana” fame, extreme pranksters the Dudesons, and “Jackass” star Johnny Knoxville will all appear to present.

The 17th annual MTV EMAs will premiere Sunday, November 7th at 9pm ET/PT on MTV2. A one-hour special highlighting the performances from the 2010 EMAs will air Friday, November 12th at 9pm ET/PT on MTV.
