Selena Gomez :: host for breaking news in VMA

Teen diva Selena Gomez is going to work the “black carpet” at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards from a different angle: as a celebrity host.

MTV issued a press release Friday announcing that Gomez will “be reporting breaking news and interviewing her peers alongside MTV News correspondents Sway, Jim Cantiello and James Montgomery.” (In case you’re wondering, there is always a ton of breaking news on the black carpet at the VMAs.)

Selena Gomez is quite excited.

“After all of my years watching the VMA’s, the pre-show has always been one of my favorite parts,” she says in the press release.

Hey, who knows? Maybe she’ll be good at this and can eventually work her way up to asking questions on the Golden Globe red carpet for E!

At the very least, she’ll most certainly have some hard-hitting questions to ask Justin Bieber during the VMAs on Aug. 28.

Selena Gomez:: Laurel Park Palace

Pop diva Selena Gomez smiles giddily at the crowd’s reaction as she hosts the Monte Carlo Mall Tour at Laurel Park Place on Monday afternoon (June 27) in Livonia, Mich.

The 18-year-old actress/singer chatted with the crowd about her new flick, opening this weekend, before performing “Who Says” and saying goodbye.

“Thanks Detroit, getting ready for my flight by the time I land my album should be out!!!! Only 3 and a half hours…” Selena tweeted after her stop.
