Mike Myers To Host MTV Movie Awards

The hilarious Shrek star picks up the baton from Sarah Silverman

Mike Myers will host this years MTV Movie Awards when our massive ceremony takes place in California on June 1.

Last year comedian Sarah Silverman hosted the show and managed to offend Paris Hilton the day before she was sent to prison.

Myers has hosted the MTV Movie Awards once before and in 2007 won the prestigious Generation Award for career recognition.

Of this years job he said: Hosting the MTV Movie Awards is like a party, but without having to do beer runs in your moms mini van; we do beer runs in Will Smith's four-story motorhome."

The awards are always event-packed and feature categories like Best Kiss and Best Villain. Well reveal the nominees right here on May 1.
