Fire up that can of Aqua-Net and sharpen your blackest eyeliner pencils! Russell Brand is returning to host the 2009 MTV VMAs in New York City. And if the Jonas Brothers can handle it, then so can you. Oh, I know, I know. The actor/ author/ comedian/ hair artist was so controversial and said such shocking things when he hosted the 2008 VMAs last year. And you know what? THEY RULED. That's why they're called the MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS and not the BORING AWARDS. If you wanna watch Billy Crystal tap dance, then change the channel... BUT DON'T! Because you'd miss live performances by Taylor Swift, who'll be doing a brand-new version of "You Belong With Me," and British rockers Muse, (ahem, Twilight fans), who will perform "Uprising."
Get out your cell phones, advent calendars, or whatever you use to mark the passage of time, and SAVE THE DATE for the 2009 MTV VMAs: Sunday, September 13 at 9PM ET.
Plus: Watch Britney open last year's VMAs.
