Surprise Choice
Filed under: Exclusives! > MTV > Anglophilia > Russell Brand
Sources reveal exclusively to PerezHilton.com that British funny man Russell Brand has been tapped to host this year's MTV Video Music Awards, airing from Los Angeles in September.
Who, say you????
Well, he's massive in the U.K. and has awards show hosting experience. Brand was the M.C. at the Brit Awards two years ago, which we attended.
Russell is also crazy. So, this should be interesting.
Who knows what the Forgetting Sarah Marshall star will have up his sleeve for the MTV audience?!
Russell says he's a reformed horn dog.
The VMAs always bring out the pretty girls. He'll be put to the test!

n why is this guy crazy?
I wish I was fucking him….
omg Russell Brand is ridiculously sexy.. and Noel fielding is as well.. i
gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy, you know who is also gay? Tat little boy that died from cancer and had gotten married to his "sweetheart" what a joke!
That will be insane….. He is insane.
I hope Mtv use a 5 second delay.
HOLY SHIT! Cool! I want to fuck his brains out!!
Brand is brilliant. I suggest all the haters go and read his biography called "My booky Wook". he's over come so many obstacles and is a GREAT role model. Also… you should check out his BBC radio show (every Saturday night) as well as his viddy cast. He's the best!
Top shelf!
aw i hate him hes a wanker
Looks like he needs a good conditioner.
Looks like he needs a good conditioner.
I'd be sure to watch that, i love him, but i want him to come back to BBLB dammit!
I'd shag him, fwoargh! ;> Doesn't matter how much of a little sex addict he is. Woof xx
He's amazing!! i just saw him at the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal at the Apatow for destruction show!!!!!! Very good choice!
Nice choice… Good for MTV and good for Russell. He's hottt. I'd never do him though. He's probably covered in diseases. :p
Re: Heath –
your deluded heath, i dont know how u can call him a great role model after reading booky wooky. i think u need to check in somewhere for some help
Re: Aimee – HE WASNT ON BBLB DICKWAD. BBBM
every other word out of his mouth will be a sware word definately…he is rather crude :S
Brilliant choice!!!
YAY RUSSELL!!! I love Ol' Russ!
comment comment comment
Yumm Yumm Yumm. Mtv leave him the fuck alone you ruin people.
Amazing choice. Brand is hilarious.
DAMN!! mariah has really aged bad.
Re: reb – Damn you're right, i'm used to typing BBLB more than BBBM lol :-/
he was sooooo funny in forgetting sarah marshall. i havent watched the vma's in years but i might flip through to see him for like .5 seconds
love himmm. hope he becomes the host. he'll be BEYOND fabolous at it.
LMAO!! MTV will be censoring shit every few words will be bleep bleep bleep! Pity because this guy does the most hilarious stand up.!!!! Luff Russell Brand and his mighty boosh mates! All of those UK guys.. comedy gold.
I saw him on the Tonight Show With Jay Leno… He was actually very funny! He's gonna be an awesome host
I just hope they dont put on that wack job sarah silverhoe again.
Give me a man anyday with long locks and a hog between his thighs, but JEEEEZZZZZzzzzzz, even without the hair, this Russell guy is "Fuuugly" beyond. Look at that chin! Looks like Velma from Scooby Doo.
LOLOLOLOLOL
why are you always saying british words?? we don't say 'massive' we say 'huge'.
hell to the YES!! I love Russell. he is sooooooooo sex on a stick, doesn't harm that he is also hilarious
can't wait to watch the award show, hope that this is going to make him famous in USA
WTF is up with his hair??
What the hell is wrong with his hair?????????
He's so funny and sexy! Can't wait to watch.
Re: Vanes – When your dying from cancer, I hope your last wish is denied. Go fuck yourself
haha brilliant. he's so funny. he'll be awesome.
Don't know him, but I can see what a metreosexual he is…
coiffed hair, black eyeliner eye makeup, plucked eye brows, etc, etc.
Where have all the real men gone?
Looks like James Haven (Angelina Jolie's brother) w/ long, f****d up hair.
What an ugly fuck! He's got a rat's nest in his hair!
He looks like a crotch
OMG that hair!..LOL too funny….Looks like a toupe' stuck on the top..!
I saw him at the Just For Laughs festival, he was hilarious. He's all over the place and he actually dresses the same way! A really funny guy who is getting bigger over here!
say who?
Who cares? No one watches these awards shows anymore. Especially not since they had that one from Miami a couple of years ago that looked like the Source Awards. I thought they were broadcasting from inside a prison or from a housing project or something. Whoever put that shit together should have been fired.
Another of the great ladies men is going out of commission. You know the guys money when he can score world class hotties with that fucked up and ultra fey hair-don't.
omg omg omg!!!!
i absolutely love russell!!
ive loved him for years and i download ALL his podcasts . . hes amazing!!
i really hope he does the vmas . . he would make them fantabulous!!
OMG I fucking LOVE this man. Anyone see him on Conan? Hes fricken HILARIOUS. Im glad they made such a good choice!
I
Ah good, I like him…but his humour is veeeeeeery sex-based…I dunno how it'll fair on American television…he got in trouble hosting the Brits, and THAT is hard to do :p
What a shit choice.
Total and utter cunt.
YES, I LOVE RUSSELL.
That guy was SO hilarious in Forgetting Sarah Marshall! he totally stole the movie.
russell owns
He's hot and I like em crazy too!
Big over here? (The UK)
For a while maybe, but most can't stand him.
im very happy about this.
i find that he is a very funny man.
although i do wish he wasnt a reformed horn dog
and just a horn dog.
haha
Russell is awesome and hilarious. Finally a good host for the vma's. Now if they could get Noel Fielding to host with him that would be even better. The Goth Detectives rule.
Men: Shaving your bush will not make your member look bigger. It is what it is and a shaved bush on a man is disgusting. So straight men, please stop it!
i met him when he was doing stand up gigs in LA like 2 months ago,
and hes soooo cuteeeeeee!!!!!!!
hes like a freakin giant haha. but he was so funny and niceeee to everyone.
His hair…..confuses me
WOW!! Hope he does it, will be wkd, he's well funni!! XD
I would do him in a minute.
Brilliant! He is the funniest person alive!
Another truly revolting human being! Hate him!
I saw this guy on Letterman and he was hilarious. I thought he was just a character in Sarah Marshall, but apparently that character is his usual schtick. I still won't watch that awful MTV awards show, but if anyone could get me to even attempt it, it might be this weirdo. He's cool in a really odd way.
Dude looks like Brooke Shields.
Dude looks like Tiny Tim's twin …Fug

I'm from britain and i can safely say… THE GUY IS A FUCKING IDIOT!! he's not funny.. he looks like a fucking tramp thats in desperate need of a shower!! i certainly wont be watching the award show this year then if he's going to be on my tv most the night. if i do watch it, i'll be switching over when he's dirty fucking scruffy face is on my tv!
Wicked choice!
Loving Russell and his revolution… Saw him a couple of weeks ago in Northampton.
LOVE MUSSEL RUSSELL IS ACTUALLY THE FUNNIEST PERSON EVER. CHECK OUT JIMMY CARR THOUGH PEREZ, A CLOSE SECOND
he was wicked funny on Conan.
HE IZ FUCKING COOL! LOVE HIM!
Don't be so quick to hate, Perez. Perhaps you should do a BIT more reading up on him before you judge him so harshly. He's actually a brilliant comedian, and while he was and probably still is to some extent a bit of a sex maniac, it's not the only side of him. Look into his work some more, please.
Wow, you really need to get a new picture of russell, perez
Excellent choice, he was great at the Brits, but this should be interesting. I will definitely watch the VMA's this year if he is presenting.
You want His what? Perez?
Isn't he too hairy for You?
This is not a flattering photo but he is perfect in real life. Isnt he dating Teresa Palmer??
Russell Brand is totally HOT!
i just saw him live at a comedy show last week. he came to montreal to perform with seth rogen, judd apatow and others. we actually left during his performance because he was last and we wanted to beat the crowd, but he was pretty funny. no seth tho…
