Guest of the nation

Enrique Iglesias has been confirmed as the special guest at this year's Meteor Music Awards which take place in The Point on March 4th.

Julio's nipper joins an all-star cast of performers including Westlife, Gabrielle, The Cranberries, Ronan Keating, Lighthouse Family, Samantha Mumba, Muse and – allegedly – U2 and The Corrs.

Presenting the various awards are David Gray, Adrian Dunbar, John Hurt, Craig Doyle, Maria Doyle-Kennedy, Keith Duffy, Brendan O'Carroll and Brian Kennedy.

hotpress.com is tipping Iglesias to walk off with 'Lucky Bastard Of The Year' - the Latin crooner not only at number one on both sides of the Atlantic, but currently squiring Anna Kournikova.
