Russell Brand to Host VMAs Again
After his controversial appearance last year, Russell Brand will be taking on the duties of being the host of the upcoming 2009 MTV Video Music Awards for the second year in a row. Ratings are ratings after all. After last year’s Jonas Brothers issue, Russell promises to keep the virgin jabs at a minimum and bring a “controversy free festival of love and discrete orgasms” to the show. The VMA’s are heading back to New York, with the controversial comedian hosting from Radio City Music Hall on Sunday, September 13th. As far as performances go, country singer Taylor Swift and British rock band Muse are scheduled to perform. It will be the group’s US TV debut.
