Pop singer Katy Perry will host the MTV Video Music Awards in August, MTV said on Thursday, and will also perform and be in the pool for some top awards. The hosting gig will kick off a busy 12 months for Perry, who embarks on a world tour in September and will be a judge in 2018 on the new version of "American Idol." Her high priced video "Chained to the Rhythm" will compete in four categories at the VMA show, but she was snubbed in nominations for the top two categories of video of the year, and artist of the year.
