MTV announced to that Russell Brand with host the 26th Annual ‘MTV Video Music Awards’ on Sept 13th, 2009 @ New York’s famous Radio City Music Hall

Just Curious – Shouldn’t MTV at least play some music videos if they are planning on giving out awards for them?

This will be the second time Brand has hosted the VMA’s.  He hosted last years 2008 VMA’s from L.A., and got so/so reviews.  Most people will remember him either as the guy to openly mocked the Jonas Bro’s purity rings or as the guy to cut off Robert Pattinson only to anger thousands of Twilight fans!!!

I’m a fan of Russell Brand in general, so I’m hoping this year goes better for him.

Also, annouced was that Tayor Swift will be making her VMA debut performing her new single ‘You Belong With Me’.

says Swift

“I’m so excited that MTV and the VMAs have invited me to perform, because I think this year’s show will be unlike anything they’ve ever done!”

More performers as well as this years nominees will be announced in the coming weeks.

Be sure to tune into the 2009 VMA’s on Sept 13th @ 9pm EST on MTV
