The paper examines relationships between the Shannon entropy and the $\ell_{\alpha}$-norm for $n$-ary probability vectors, $n \ge 2$. More precisely, we investigate the tight bounds of the $\ell_{\alpha}$-norm with a fixed Shannon entropy, and vice versa. As applications of the results, we derive the tight bounds between the Shannon entropy and several information measures which are determined by the $\ell_{\alpha}$-norm, e.g., R\'{e}nyi entropy, Tsallis entropy, the $R$-norm information, and some diversity indices. Moreover, we apply these results to uniformly focusing channels. Then, we show the tight bounds of Gallager's $E_{0}$ functions with a fixed mutual information under a uniform input distribution.
