Chelsea Handler?  Really??  Her???

Of course!  It all makes sense.  As the raunchy late night talk show host and author (Are You There Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea) said last night, “Everyone knows that when you think of rap music and hip-hop you think of Chelsea Lately, and that’s why I will be hosting them.”

Chelsea takes over hosting duties from Russell Brand, who’s too busy with filming that remake of Arthur no one asked for and planning his wedding to Katy Perry to host for a third time.  Either that, or show organizers were getting tired of his shtick.

The ratings should be huge this year with scheduled performances by infamous acceptence speech interupter Kanye West, Twitter over-lord Justin Bieber, and the fashionable Lady Gaga, who’s been nominated for 13 awards.

Wonder if Chelsea will bond with the Bieb?  She has a thing for midgets.

The MTV Video Awards air live September 12th.
