Look Out, JoBros: Russell Brand to Host VMA's Again

MTV appears to be smitten with hosts imported from the UK. Alexa Chung moved across the pond to host It's On during weekdays, and now Russell Brand has been invited to host the Video Music Awards again, making him the first to do so two consecutive years.

Last year, the controversial comedian raised a big ol' hoopla by repeatedly making jabs at the Jonas Brothers and mocking their purity rings.

MTV's General Manager told Us Weekly:

"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."

Brand, who stars in the upcoming sequel to Forgetting Sarah Marshall, promises more fireworks: "It's gonna be mind-blowing... get ready. I don't know if you're wearing a hat, but if you are, you should hold on to it."

He added: "This year will be a controversy-free festival of love and discrete orgasms."

We detect a note of sarcasm here. ...
