Chelsea Does the VMAs

The phenomenal Chelsea Handler tweeted that she had a big thing to say on her E! show last night, and she delivered.

Pass the Belvedere, yo: The comedian
announced that she is hosting the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards next month.

“This has been a huge year for hip-hop and rap, and it is well-known that I have the closest ties with these communities, musically and sexually,” Handler said of being chosen for the gig. “I am to rap and hippity-hop, what Warren Buffet is to finance, minus the sex.”

This is the first time a lady will have hosted the show since Roseanne Barr did, which was ages ago.

Among those expected to attend the VMAs, which are in L.A. this year, are scheduled performers Justin Bieber, Drake, and Florence + the Machine, and presenters Ke$ha, Ne-Yo, Nicki Minaj, Emma Stone (Easy A), Ashley Greene, Gossip Girl’s Penn Badgley, and Selena Gomez, among others.
