Missy received bids in categories including Best Hip-Hop Video, Best Dance Video and Breakthrough Video. Jennifer Lopez got five nominations, while Ciara, John Legend, Kanye West, 50 Cent, Amerie, Destiny's Child, Eminem, The Game, Gorillaz, Mariah Carey, Ludacris, Shakira, Snoop Dogg and Usher were all nominated in multiple categories.

P. Diddy is slated to host the event, which will take place on August 28 in Miami, for the second year in a row. Kanye is among the first performers announced for the event.

The VMAs will take a new turn this year, as the show will be scored with original music by Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda and Lil' Jon. Virgin Mobile phone users will be able to download some of that music as ringtones.

More performers and presenters will be announced in the weeks leading up to the big event.
