MTV announced today that both Shakira and the band OK Go have just been added to the list of performers at the Video Music Awards. They join an already long list slated to perform that night, including Panic! At the Disco, T.I., The Killers, Ludacris w/Pharrell, The All-American Rejects and The Raconteurs. Jack Black will host the night’s festivities, and among the list of presenters are the names Axl Rose, Lindsay Lohan, Kanye West, Paris Hilton, Diddy, LL Cool J, Snoop Dogg, Pussycat Dolls and 50 Cent. And that barely even names a few.

OK Go, from Chicago, plans to perform a live version of their internet hit “Here It Goes Again” at the show which airs August 31st at 8pm ET. The band posted the video for the song, which showcases their unusual (and hilarious!) treadmill dancing abilities, on YouTube.com and have been steadily entertaining viewers ever since. The VMA’s will be their first live performance of the song.

Well I haven’t heard anything about whether OK Go will attempt the treadmills live at the awards or go for something more traditional (and safer), but that video is a total hoot! I love it when people look like they’re having a good time, and I can’t imagine they got through that shoot without at least a few good laughs.

P.S. And someone needs kudos for choreography!

Kelly Clarkson is pretty and has a beautiful figure. I know this to be true. I feel it in my soul. Why, then, does she allow herself to be displayed in hideous black costumes that make her look chubby and foolish? This example is probably the worst so far! I thought that belly dancing gear was supposed to be sexy. It usually works out well for Shakira!

Colombian singer Shakira reached the top of the British pop charts for the first time on Sunday with her new single Hips Don’t Lie.

The collaboration with Haitian-American rapper Wyclef Jean has already topped the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, thanks largely to internet download sales.

Shakira has enjoyed several top five singles in Britain, including the worldwide hit Whenever, Wherever, but has never before had a UK number one single.

She knocked Canadian pop star Nelly Furtado’s Maneater off the top spot after three weeks, according to chart compiler, the Official UK Charts Company.

American group The Pussycat Dolls climbed eight places to number three with Buttons, featuring rapper Snoop Dogg.
