city of Madrid!" said Longoria. "I can't wait to see some fabulous
performances and I am so proud that the two most nominated artists
this year are two amazing women - Lady Gaga and Katy Perry - who are

promise it will be messy."

Spanish city of Madrid - the backdrop of this year's 2010 MTV EMAs.
