VMA Deja vu for Russell Brand

July 15th, 2009

He was the most memorable act of last year’s MTV Video Music Awards, but looks like Russell Brand will reprise his role as the music awards show host this year again.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall comic star promised not to offend Jonas Brothers this time and have a “controversy-free festival of love and discreet orgasms.” This sounds like something hot again.

I’m feeling a series of joyful twitches and spasms beginning at the tips of my tiny toes and traveling up in glorious ways throughout my body as I begin to accept that I am the MTV VMA host again,” Brand said. “You have my word as an Englishman that there will be no controversy this year.”

Though not everyone is happy Russell makes his hosting comeback, MTV managers are looking forward to the show.

We are thrilled that despite numerous death threats from Jonas Brothers fans, Russell Brand has accepted our offer to put his life on the line and host the VMAs again this year,” MTV’s General Manager, Stephen Friedman, told Usmagazine.com.

So, what should we expect?

The funnyman promised to surpass Sacha Baron Cohen (aka Bruno) / Eminem incident at 2009 MTV Movie Awards on May 30, 2009.

It’s going to be difficult, but having worked with P Diddy, I am pretty sure I can negotiate a situation where he breastfeeds me live at the podium, ‘Unlawful Acts’ is the heading of the show. ‘VMA 2009: Unlawful Acts.’ That’s what we’re going to call it,” Brand added.

Are you excited?

If the tongue-in-cheek humor of the English comic with a shock of disheveled hair isn’t a big attraction to you, think about Taylor Swift who will perform at the show and deliver the new never-before-heard version of ‘You Belong With Me’ and the British band Muse that will have their first American TV appearance.

More details of the show, as well the list of nominees and performers are coming soon. Stay tuned to learn more!

MTV VMA 2009 will be held in New York Radio City Music Hall on September 13, 2009.
