Star World will telecast the summer music extravaganza from London’s Hyde Park on Tuesday 24th August at 9:00 pm.

Filmed at it’s usual annual venue in London’s Hyde Park, The Prince’s Trust, for the seventh year running, stages Britain’s largest one-day live multi-artist concert to a full capacity audience of 100,000, informed an official release.

The artists participating in the show include Will Young, Jamelia, Avril Lavigne, Sugababes, Nelly Furtado and Lionel Richie.

This special concert will benefit The Prince’s Trust, set up by HRH The Prince of Wales to offer opportunities to young people when no one else will. Through a variety of programmes across the UK, The Trust works with 14 to 30 year olds who are unemployed or face other barriers in life, providing support and basic financial assistance to help them learn new skills, get into work and start businesses, added the release.

Nelly was invited to perform an Open-Air Concert on the Portuguese island Madeira. It will take place on the Pontinha (where all the big cruise ships dock). The organiser of this event is an initiative called ‘Madeira - European Region 2004′. The concert will take place on 28th August 2004.

There’s also a rumour going around that Nelly will play a hour long radio show (that will be broadcasted live, and the radio channel always gives away tickets) next month. The show is called Live-Kantine. From what I know the show would be in the Munich area then, it’s a German radio channel called Antenne Bayern. But so far there’s no confirmation. They state it as planned…G

On 3rd September there will be another “The Dome” in Germany. This time it is in Nürnberg. Nelly Furtado, O-Zone, B3, Faithless, Jeanette, Blazin Squad and other artists will be performing there. Tickets are available for €36.40.

It will air live on the Univision Network (NYSE:UVN) on Thursday, 23rd September from 9-11 p.m. ET/PT (8-10 p.m. Central/Mountain).

Recognising popularity and overall appreciation in five distinct areas - Film, Music, Sports, Fashion and Pop Culture - the “Premios Juventud” nominees were selected based on a nationwide poll conducted among a representative sample of Spanish-language television’s younger viewing audience. From 2nd-22nd August, Hispanic America will then cast their votes online and determine the final outcome.

Far from your typical award show, “Premios Juventud” will give awards in 22 unconventional categories in tune with today’s Hispanic youth. It’s one young party no one will want to miss. Marc Anthony and Thalia lead with 13 nominations each; Anthony competes in categories such as “CD to Die For” and “He’s Got Style” and Thalia in “She’s Totally Red Carpet” and “My Idol Is,” among others. Jennifer Lopez follows with 12 nods in categories such as “Show Stealing Actress” and “Dream Chick.” Other multiple nominees include Luis Miguel with 11 nominations and Paulina Rubio and Ricky Martin with 9 each.

The popular Puerto Rican actor/singer Chayanne follows with 8 mentions in categories such as “He’s so Hot!” and “Best Moves,” while the ever popular Mexican singer/songwriter Juan Gabriel makes the list with 7 nominations, vying for awards in categories such as “All Over the Dial” and “Catchiest Tune” for his international hit “Siempre en mi mente” (Always on My Mind).

“Harry Potter,” “Shrek 2,” “Amores perros” and “El crimen del Padre Amaro” were nominated for “All-time Best Flick,” while Alex Rodriguez, Sammy Sosa and Oscar de la Hoya rival for “Hottest Male Athlete.” Nominees for Hispanic youth’s most “Dynamic Duet” include Christina Aguilera with Ricky Martin, Marc Anthony with Jennifer Lopez and father Vicente Fernandez with son Alejandro Fernandez. In what promises to be the most talked about category, “Hottest Romance” of a real-life couple, the contenders include Luis Miguel and Myrka Dellanos, Niurka Marcos and Bobby Larios and Thalia and Tommy Mottola.
