MTV Gays it up for the VMAs

The most exciting awards show of the year is right around the corner -- MTV's Video Music Awards, and the music video channel is in full swing with promotion. Just like last year, host Russell Brand stars opposite Britney Spears in a cute, new commercial, but that's hardly MTV's gayest move.

The newest video promotion for the event is mega-collaboration parodying the West Side Story classic, "Tonight." It features a number of the night's confirmed performers, including Katy Perry, Ne-Yo, Taylor Swift, Russell Brand, Leighton Meester, and Cobra Starship.

Check it out above, and be sure to catch the always juicy MTV Video Music Awards, September 13th at 9PM Eastern.
