Robbie Williams and Jay-Z are the latest acts confirmed for this year's MTV Europe Music Awards.

Robbie, who is Britain's best-selling solo artist in Europe, and east coast rap legend Jay-Z will take to the stage at the awards show, broadcast live from Berlin on November 5.

The duo join an eclectic bill, including Latin pop-princess Shakira, punk royalty Green Day and X-Factor winner Leona Lewis.

Robbie's latest album Reality Killed The Video Star is a reference to the first video ever broadcast on MTV - The Buggles' Video Killed The Radio Star.

And the former Take That man will have a tough act to follow when he takes to the stage - himself.

Nearly a decade ago Robbie rocked the MTV Europe Music Awards with a little help from Kylie Minogue when they performed their hit-single Kids.

And Robbie will be hoping this year's performance isn't his only trip to the stage as he has been nominated for Best Male.

Lady Gaga, Beyonce and the Kings Of Leon are also tipped for a good night, boasting 14 nominations between them.

This year's MTV Music Awards are hosted by Katy Perry with guests including tennis ace Boris Becker and the Jonas Brothers.
