Katy Perry to host MTV Music Awards

(Monday October 13, 2008 12:30 AM)

Katy Perry is to make her hosting debut at this year's MTV Europe Music Awards.

The 23-year-old old Californian musician, whose single I Kissed A Girl celebrated more than five million worldwide sales, is nominated in two categories at this year's event in Liverpool.

They are best new act and most addictive track.

It is the first time that the singer has acted as host at an awards ceremony, MTV said.

"Katy Perry has been one of the freshest and most successful new artists to emerge on the international music scene this year which is witnessed by her nomination in two categories in this year's awards," said Richard Godfrey, executive producer of this year's event.

"We want to pursue a much more informal and relaxed role for the host at this year's awards, but with a definite musical twist and we think Katy will be perfect."
