Taylor Swift's gal pal Selena Gomez better hold on tight to her mic at the 2010 VMAs because MTV has announced that she will be a presenter and Kanye West himself will perform at the awards show on September 12. (Hey, after last year's incident, Taylor went from a chart topping country singer to pop mega star. Perhaps some extra media coverage of Selena Gomez and the Scene couldn’t hurt, right?)
But while we can’t guarantee another Kanye vs. teen queen matchup, the show will definitely not fall short of some hilarity. it was also announced that "Easy A” actress Emma Stone will be a presenter, too, and we’re positive viewers will let out a couple big laughs when the starlet hits the stage.
And now that it seems the VMAs have high potential for drama and comedy, what’s the one thing that’s missing? Some serious eye candy! No, worries Hollywood Crushers because “Gossip Girl" actor Penn Badgley has joined the ranks of presenters to swoon us with his brooding good looks.
Besides Selena, Emma and Penn, other presenters will include Trey Songz, Ne-Yo and Nicki Minaj. Other performances announced in this first wave are Best New Artist nominee Florence and the Machine and Drake.
The 27th annual MTV Video Music Awards will be broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on September 12 at 9 p.m. ET. Fans can go to VMA.MTV.com (or text VMA to 97979 if they are Verizon subscribers) to vote for the winners from now through September 12.
