‘I’ll be myself — that I can promise,’ she says on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show. By James Dinh Chelsea Handler Photo: Jason LaVeris/ FilmMagic While Chelsea Handler will no doubt employ her outrageous late-night shtick as host of the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards , that doesn’t mean she’s not going to play nice. On Thursday (August 19), the comedian talked to Ryan Seacrest on his radio show about why she’s pumped about her hosting gig and her plans to reunite Kanye West and Taylor Swift. “I’m pretty excited, because it’s such a big hip-hop and rap year, and I just love having those guys on my show, and they have the best senses of humor anyway,” she said. “I’m hoping we can do some really fun stuff with these A-holes. I want to go and film some ridiculous stuff and see if Kanye, if we can do something with Kanye, because I always talk about Kanye, so he seems like he’d be in on the fun. We just had our first couple of meetings the last couple of weeks, and then we’ll figure out a plan. I’ll be myself — that I can promise.” But Handler doesn’t just want to engage Mr. West in some VMA fun; she’s also eyeing Taylor Swift. “I’d like to get them together is what I’d like to get, because you’ve never really seen them together since then,” she said of the music superstars. “They were supposed to be on ‘SNL,’ but then that didn’t end up happening. I don’t know. We’ll try and think of something clever to do with them, because that would be really fun. Everyone loves Taylor Swift, and Kanye’s … Kanye.” A reunion between the rapper and country songstress would make for a highlight after West’s stage invasion during Swift’s acceptance speech for Best Female Video last year. Since the onstage fiasco, Swift has poked fun at the incident and accepted the rapper’s “very sincere” apology . Kanye is set to perform at this year’s ceremony, and Taylor is nominated for Best Female Video (“Fifteen”). Would you like to see a Kanye and Taylor reunion at this year’s VMAs?
