Ryan Seacrest announced during his morning show on 102.7 FM KIIS FMthat Russell Brand will be hosting the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards!
The British comic-actor must have impressed MTV so much with his hosting skills from last year that they are giving him another go at it!
You may recognize Brand from his most recent roles in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” with hotties Mila Kunis and Kristen Bell, and “Bedtime Stories”, with Adam Sandler.
Personally, I think Brand is hilarious! I didn’t see last year’s VMA’s but from the looks of this interview with Craig Ferguson I’d say he is equipped for the job once more!
Adam Sandler was rushed to the hospital over the weekend when his nose was crushed to pieces while playing basketball with some friends–apparently, as he and one of his friends were both jumping up to catch the basketball, they both came crashing down in a tangle, and his friend’s elbow landed directly & forcefully on his nose! OUCH!
It is being speculated that he will never be able to smell again! That is so tragic! In addition, his nose is going to require extensive and multiple surgeries to ever have the chance of even looking like a nose again! Unbelievable!
April Fools!
What actually happened does involve a broken body part–but, thankfully, he’ll still be able to smell…
Adam Sandler broke his ankle over the weekend while playing a game of basketball. Not to worry though, his publicist said that he still won the game!
Sandler has a film due out later this year called Bedtime Stories–he plays a hotel handyman whose bedtime stories come true–his injury will not affect production.
