Walik Goshorn / Retna Ltd./MediaPunch/IPXThis year's VMAs are going to be a sight for sore eyes. And by sore eyes, we actually mean very, very mature eyes.
That's because none other than Miley Cyrus, the queen of controversy herself, is going to be hosting the show. She announced her new gig on Instagram last night, and it immediately set our imaginations running. (Running someplace inappropriate, of course).
Having a host like Miley opens up a lot of possibilities for the VMAs—especially considering the last two years' events haven't had an emcee at all. We have to admit we enjoyed not having to sit through a potentially awkward opening monologue as well as the additional musical performances (like Cyrus' infamous duet with Robin Thicke). But if anybody has the panache (and the balls) to spice up the VMAs, it's Miley.
We're already holding our breath to see what she comes up with for the big gig, but in the meantime we've got a few ideas of our own up our sleeves. Try any of these bits, Miley, and you've got hosting gold.
1. A throwback Hannah Montana routine. Think of the viral opportunities! Bonus points for the wig-switch twirl move.
2. A dramatic reading of a scene from The Last Song. So long as Liam Hemsworth is re-cast appropriately. Might we suggest Wiz Khalifa? He'll be there anyway.
3. A twerking tutorial. Because who says the VMAs can't be educational?
4. A "Wrecking Ball" duet with Anne Hathaway. We're sure she'd love to swing in her underwear in front of the VMAs audience.
5. Four words: Racy Michelle Bachmann impression. "La da dee da dee...Republican party."
6. Bring back Ye Olde Foam Finger. So long as it's been disinfected properly.
7. Make an entrance with confetti. We know you still love it, girl.
8. Spark one up. When in Rome, Miles.
9. Perform an entire dance routine using only her tongue. Sexy, can I?
10. Announce a last-minute surprise co-host: The crying cat. These two could be the next Amy and Tina!
