We Announce More Superstar Presenters!
We’ve just announced that lead singer of The Pretty Reckless and Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen will be on-hand to present an award, as will British actress Kelly Brook. In addition to performing with Shakira, rap superstar Dizzee Rascal will also give out a trophy.
Meanwhile, already-announced presenter Johnny Knoxville will be joined onstage by Bam Margera and the rest of the Jackass boys and we’ve been told that they’ll be bringing their own special surprise to the show. In these guys’ cases, the word ‘surprise’ usually means pain for them, and laughs for us so we can’t wait to see what it is.
Also presenting an award is legendary guitarist Slash, who will no doubt add even more rock and roll to our already killer show.
