Miley Cyrus has been tapped to co-host this year’s MuchMusic Video Awards in Canada.
“I’m so excited to co-host the MuchMusic Video Awards. I can’t wait to get back to Canada and perform for all of my fans. It’s going to be an awesome night!” Miley exclaimed in a release early Monday.
The 17-year-old pop sensation — who recently announced that she will be taking a break from music to focus on dramatic acting full-time — will also be performing at the event.
Last year’s MuchMusic ceremony garnered headlines after celebrity gossiper Perez Hilton was decked in the face after a well-publicized faceoff with Will.i.am and the manager of the Black Eyed Peas.
More performers, presenters, and celebrity guests will be announced at a later date — and hopefully, this year’s ceremony will go down without anyone being led away in handcuffs!
The 2010 MuchMusic Video Awards is set for Sunday, June 20 @ 8 PM ET, live from MuchMusic Headquarters in Toronto.
