As you may have guessed from the headline, Chelsea Handler will host MTV’s Video Music Awards this year. She becomes the first woman to host the VMAs since Russell Brand last year Roseanne Barr in 1994 Julie Brown in 1987. Say what you will about her comedy (“Handler? I hardly tolerate her!”), it would be impossible for her to be less funny than Russell Brand has been the last two years.
Handler will work the mic at this year’s awards show, which airs live from Los Angeles on September 12 at 9 p.m. ET. This is the first time the L.A.-based star will host the event where celebs like Lady Gaga, Eminem, Drake, Usher, and Katy Perry are up for Moonmen. Among the performers set to hit the stage are Kanye West, B.o.B, Florence and the Machine, and Justin Bieber. [MTV]
The show will be preceded by two weeks of MTV talking about how culturally important the VMAs are and recapping every CRAAAAA-ZAYYY moment of the last 25 years. Then during the show something stupid will happen and we’ll all talk about it. Spoiler alert: Lady Gaga will wear something abso– YO LADY GAGA I’MA LET YOU FINISH BUT MADONNA HAD THE WILDEST VMA PERFORMANCE OF ALL TIME!

Over/Under is 8.5 for number of times she has been defecated on.
What is she, 40? MTV is giving up.
*drives to casino, bets family home on there being a joke about the length of the show compared to a sexual experience (complete with smug facial expression signifying an implied “amirite ladies”)*
She always looks great in photos, but then I’ll catch her show on E![sic?] and wonder if she’s sending a royalty check to the makers of Adobe CS every month.
What is this fascination with Chelsea Handler? Did she cocksuck her way to the top at E!? (Wow does that look like terrible grammar.) I mean, she’s a little funny, but she’s not even hot (the banner picture is Photoshop at its finest) and seems like kind of a bitch.
Yeah so, Pete and Chip have already voice my thoughts on this whore but I would, nonetheless, fuck the ink out of that picture of her.

They had to find someone old enough to remember that MTV stands for “Music Television” and VMA stands for “Video Music Awards.”
I, for one, will enjoy two weeks of Pauly Shore and Howard Stern Ass.
Lady Gaga, Eminem, Drake, Usher, and Katy Perry are up for Moonmen. Among the performers set to hit the stage are Kanye West, B.o.B, Florence and the Machine, and Justin Bieber.
I’m proud to say I know approximately two of those people.
and by “know”, I mean “have heard of”
Finally they’re all in one place! Now I know what to do with that suitcase nuke. Okay, I’m dreaming, but the world WOULD thank me.
Funny you should say that, Chipmunk. Her ex-boyfriend IS the head of programming at E!.
Don’t they usually let attractive or talented people host the VMA’s?? And why after 23 years are they having a woman that is not involved in the music industry host it?? Seems like it would make more sense to at least have a female singer, or hell, even a female bass player.
I worked at a comedy club a few years ago, and when Chelsea came thru it was miserable. The crowd was nothing but women and their dragged along husbands and gay dudes. I couldn’t laugh at anything, and i had to see the damn show 6 times.
THEN she went off about gingers, I happen to be one. I just off-handedly said to her after a show “Hey, we have Conan O’Brien you know, we aren’t ALL bad.” then she started arguing with me about Conan not being a ginger and called me out on stage the next night and basically called me ugly. Oh noes! A ginger, ugly? Never!
“What is she, 40? MTV is giving up.”
Its amazing that she is only 35. She looks like closer to 50. I guess having sex with rich old men really ages you.
Correction, she did not suck her way to the top – she fucked her way to the top. (If E! can be considered the top). Shough610 pegged it.
@ Enrico – that’s actually not a bad bet. 5 shillings on the under.
The photoshopping on that picture is terrible! She looks like she has a concave forehead.
