MTV has announced that Selena Gomez will be hosting the Video Music Awards pre-show show next Sunday (August 28).

The black carpet event will air live, with Cobra Starship performing their new hit, 'You Make Me Feel' with Sabi.

Gomez said, “I am very excited to be a part of the 2011 VMA’s. After all of my years watching the VMA’s, the pre-show has always been one of my favorite parts. It is a true honor to be hosting from the black carpet this year.”
