Justin Timberlake, who dominated the MTV Europe Music Awards in 2006, could
do it again this year with four nominations for the event taking place in Munich
on November 1.
His closest rivals, with three nominations each after an
online poll, are Amy Winehouse, Avril Lavigne, Beyonce, Fall Out Boy, Linkin
Park, My Chemical Romance, Nelly Furtado and Rihanna.
Timberlake was
named best male and best pop act in Copenhagen last year and hosted the

With MTV handing control of most of the awards to online voters,
the heart-throb has been shortlisted this year for Video Star Award for "What
Goes Around," Headliner Award after a world tour, Ultimate Urban Act and Solo
Artist of 2007.
In the coveted Solo Artist category he is up against
Canada's Furtado and Lavigne, Barbados-born Rihanna, US star Christina Aguilera
and Lebanon-born Mika.
Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy,
Good Charlotte and Tokio Hotel fight it out for the Band of 2007 award while
Album of the Year pits Akon against Winehouse, Lavigne, Linkin Park and
Furtado.
Lavigne, My Chemical Romance, Mika and the Foo Fighters are
expected to perform at the OlympiaHalle, while US hip-hop star Snoop Dogg will
host.
