Mike To Host MTV Movie Awards

Mike Myers will host this year’s MTV Movie Awards.

The 45-year-old comedian – whose new movie The Love Guru hits cinemas this summer – said in a statement: "Hosting the MTV Movie Awards is like a party, but without having to do beer runs in your mom's mini van."

"We do beer runs in Will Smith's four-story motor home."

Among the awards up for grabs are Best Screen Kiss and Best Villain, in addition to best movie.

The traditionally offbeat ceremony – now in its 17th year - will take place in Los Angeles on Sunday June 1.
