Ryan Seacrest just Tweeted that Russell Brand was actually asked to host the MTV VMAs again. Did they forget how much his gig was panned last year? He is so 2008. Seriously what has he done here in The States since then? Nothing. What happened Pauly Shore wasn't available? Out of all the people out there, I am sure there had to be a better person than him to do the show. The only reason the ratings were so high is because everyone wanted to see if Britney Spears had really cleaned up her act and not for him.
