Hilary Duff, Ludacris, Bam Margera, Redman, Evanescence, David Spade, Snoop Dogg, NBA rookie sensation LeBron James and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have also agreed to help hand out Moonmen at this year’s VMAs.
It’s already shaping up to be a busy night for 50, who heads into the ceremony with five nominations, including nods for Video of the Year, Best Male Video and Best Rap Video for his “In Da Club”. Good Charlotte will also take an armload of nominations into this year’s VMAs, as 50’s fellow performers are up for Best Group Video, Best Rock Video and Viewer’s Choice for their “Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous” clip.
