The 2009 MTV Movie Awards will be held on Sunday Sept 13, 2009 and are hosted by Russell Brand!!

A flyer was being handed out yesterday during the Summit Entertainment Comic-Con panel with important information regarding the soundtrack to ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’!!!

That information would the release date!! According to the flyer (see below), the anticapted sountrack will be released on Oct 13, 2009!!  That is a more more then a month before the movie’s release date of Nov 20, 2009.

As reported yesterday, director Chris Weitz already confirmed 2 artists for the soundtrack Bon Iver, and Radiohead’s Thom Yorke!!!

Last years soundtrack to ‘Twilight’ debuted at #1 on the billboard chats and iTunes and remained on the chart for almost #16 weeks!!!

HitFix.com has confirmed that both Bon Iver, and RadioHead’s Thom Yorke have been pretty much confirmed for the soundtrack to ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’.

“I selfishly want to put songs in by artists I love. And some the cast and crew also happen to love,” says Weitz. “I think [Bon Iver] is fantastic. He says he wrote it for the film, but who ever knows if it might just be something laying around in his cupboard.”

Weitz also sad that ‘Band of Skulls’ from england will be involved and he is still hopeing to get the awesome ‘Kings of Leon’.

MTV announced to that Russell Brand with host the 26th Annual ‘MTV Video Music Awards’ on Sept 13th, 2009 @ New York’s famous Radio City Music Hall

Just Curious – Shouldn’t MTV at least play some music videos if they are planning on giving out awards for them?

This will be the second time Brand has hosted the VMA’s.  He hosted last years 2008 VMA’s from L.A., and got so/so reviews.  Most people will remember him either as the guy to openly mocked the Jonas Bro’s purity rings or as the guy to cut off Robert Pattinson only to anger thousands of Twilight fans!!!

I’m a fan of Russell Brand in general, so I’m hoping this year goes better for him.

Also, annouced was that Tayor Swift will be making her VMA debut performing her new single ‘You Belong With Me’.

says Swift

“I’m so excited that MTV and the VMAs have invited me to perform, because I think this year’s show will be unlike anything they’ve ever done!”

More performers as well as this years nominees will be announced in the coming weeks.

Be sure to tune into the 2009 VMA’s on Sept 13th @ 9pm EST on MTV
