“We have Demi Lovato peforming her hit single, 'Skyscraper,' in English and Spanish,” one of the event’s producers and co-host, Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria, tells reporters on a press call.

“[It] is so exciting,” she continues. “Because it was number one on iTunes, she is one of our own, and she came up with the idea of singing partly in Spanish.”

Lovato is also nominated for Favorite TV Actress -- Leading Role in a Comedy at this year’s event.  The event’s presenters include Jessica Alba, Benjamin Bratt, Eva La Rue, Mario Lopez, and Naya Rivera.

“We just have really great participation this year,” Longoria says.
