Russell Brand To Host MTV VMA Awards
Share

Comedian and serial shagger Russell Brand is to host this year's MTV Video Music Awards (VMA's) in Los Angeles this autumn.

The September 7 ceremony is a big break for the 33-year-old who has a relatively low profile in the States compared to his native Britain.

He said of hosting the ceremony: "(It will be) good to preside over what is sure to be only vaguely coordinated televised insanity".

He went on: "That's how I've made my name in this country: flying very much by the seat - and the crotch - of my pants."

Brand co-starred in the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall, yet he's set to become a household name in America when the Adam Sandler comedy Bedtime Stories is released.

He joins a galaxy of big names that have hosted the VMA's in the past, including Sean Combs, Chris Rock and Jack Black.
