Today, MTV revealed performers and presenters of Hollywood’s highly-anticipated, irreverent awards ceremony, the “2007 MTV Movie Awards.” Known for introducing diverse line-up of up-and-coming artists to the masses, this year’s ceremony also promises to be an explosive musical showcase. Taking the stage to debut new music and deliver eagerly awaited live performances are Rihanna featuring Jay-Z in addition to British singer/songwriter Amy Winehouse. As well, Jessica Alba, Josh Duhamel, Samuel L. Jackson, Amanda Bynes, Chris Tucker, Katherine Heigl, Seth Rogen, Shia LaBeouf, Michael Chiklis, John Travolta, Zac Efron, Tyrese Gibson, Chris Evans and Ioan Gruffudd are the first to be announced in the growing list of stars presenting at this year’s show. Hosted by Sarah Silverman, the “2007 MTV Movie Awards” airs LIVE on MTV in Canada on Sunday, June 3 at 8 p.m. ET from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, CA. Songstress Rihanna is set to perform the hit single ‘Umbrella’ from her new album, Good Girl Gone Bad, to be released June 5. The highly anticipated performance will feature hip-hop legend and fan favorite, Jay-Z. Rihanna enjoyed a tidal wave of industry acclaim in 2006 with her second album A Girl Like Me and its back-to-back No. 1 hits ‘S.O.S.’ and ‘Unfaithful.’ The “2007 MTV Movie Awards” will mark the first live performance in the U.S. for soulful British singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse as she takes the stage to perform her internationally-acclaimed hit ‘Rehab.’ Winehouse’s latest album Back to Black has been enthusiastically embraced by music fans on this side of the pond, entering The Billboard Hot 200 chart at an impressive No. 7 and making her the highest-debuting British female artist in the history of the coveted U.S. albums chart. Amy Winehouse is just one of the most recent artists to take to the MTV Movie Awards stage, which has welcomed a variety of established and up-and-coming artists. Last year’s show welcomed Gnarls Barkley, AFI and Christina Aguilera.
