BREAKING NEWS: MMVA WRISTBAND DAY IS THIS EVENING AT 6PM DUE TO SAFETY AND WEATHER ISSUES CITED BY TORONTO POLICE!

The Toronto Police Service has asked MMVAs wristband line-up members to disassemble their tents. As rain is in the forecast for tonight, MuchMusic has decided that for the comfort and safety of our viewers we will hand out the wristbands today, Friday June 11, 2010 at 6 p.m. ET, right after today's broadcast of MuchOnDemand.

This wristband giveaway replaces the wristband giveaway scheduled for tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. Fans who have already received a queue number from MuchMusic will receive their wristband beginning at 6 p.m. ET today. Fans who do not currently have a number will not receive a wristband. Because of the popularity of the MMVAs all wristbands have already been accounted for.

Thanks to the Media Relations crew at MuchMusic for notifying me. Be safe young men and women.

SFTC: STANLEY CUP WINNER JONATHAN TOEWS AND OLYMPIC MEDALIST SHENAE GRIMES TO PRESENT AT MMVA'S

MuchMusic announced today that two big Canadians have been added to the 2010 MMVAs presenter roster. Jonathan Toews, fresh off of his Stanley Cup win with the Chicago Blackhawks last night, adds his winning touch to the already stacked presenters list at the 2010 MUCHMUSIC VIDEO AWARDS. TV star and Toronto’s own Shenae Grimes is also set to present. Toews has had a whirlwind year, winning a Gold Medal with Team Canada at the 2010 Olympic Games and receiving the honour as best forward in the tournament.

As Captain of the NHL’s Chicago Blackhawks, Toews lead his team to a Stanley Cup win and nabbed the Conn Smythe trophy as the most valuable player in the 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Shenae Grimes returns to her hometown to heat up the red carpet and reunite with former castmates Drake, Nina Dobrev, and Charlotte Arnold. MuchMusic airs the biggest street-party of the year on Sunday, June 20 at 9 p.m. ET with the 2010 MMVAs RED CARPET SPECIAL airing at 8 p.m. ET. Viewers in the U.S. can watch a simulcast on Fuse.

HERE COMES THE PRESENTERS FOR THE MUCH MUSIC VIDEO AWARDS! AND THE AMERICANS ARE WATCHING THIS YEAR --LIVE!!

MuchMusic announced today that the most scream-inducing A-listers in the entertainment biz are set to hand out the hardware at the 2010 MUCHMUSIC VIDEO AWARDS (see presenters list below). Much also delivers the first-ever red carpet performance by platinum selling, DISBAND-discovered, MMVAs-nominated Stereos.

JERSEY SHORE cast members Snooki and Pauly D bring fist-pumps and drama to the red carpet alongside THE HILLS leading bad girl Kristin Cavallari and THE CITY’s resident fashionista Whitney Port. Twilighters get their vampire fix as The Twilight Saga: Eclipse stars Kellan Lutz, Ashley Greene, and Xavier Samuel take a bite out of the MMVAs alongside home-grown VAMPIRE DIARIES hottie Nina Dobrev. The scorching hot SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE CANADA host and ETALK correspondent Leah Miller returns to the MMVAs stage while the cast from the hit show THE SECRET LIFE OF THE AMERICAN TEENAGER Shailene Woodley, Daren Kagasoff, Megan Park, as well as DEGRASSI’s Charlotte Arnold make their MMVAs debut. MuchMusic faves Perez Hilton, Girlicious, and LIGHTS show MMVAs first timers Miranda Cosgrove, Blake McGrath, Emily Osment, Nikki Yanofsky, and more exactly how to handle the fan-frenzy carpet! And that’s not all.

For the first time ever, viewers are treated to a very special red carpet acoustic performance by MuchMusic’s DISBAND discovered Stereos that is guaranteed to give all the summer girls butterflies. Stereos debut album has been certified Gold, while their first single, Summer Girl, which debuted on MuchMusic in May 2009, has gone double platinum. The band followed that with an additional two platinum singles and they also are two-time Juno nominee and three-time MMVAs nominee this year. With this red-hot, red carpet performance, Stereos are poised to show off their pipes to one of their loudest crowds yet!‬

SFTC: DRAKE AND HEDLEY ARE THE LATEST TO ROCK THE MMVA'S.

MuchMusic announced yesterday that Canadian rap-superstar Drake and Canada’s reigning rock-pop group Hedley are set to blow the roof of the 2010 MUCHMUSIC VIDEO AWARDS. Performing for the first time on the MMVAs’ stage, hometown boy-turned international phenom Drake returns to the city that gave him his start, while Hedley fans swoon over MuchMusic faves Jacob, Tom, Dave, and Chris. Don’t miss the biggest music party of the year live on Sunday, June 20 at 9 p.m. ET, with the MMVAs RED CARPET SPECIAL.

Drake
The Toronto-born actor and recording artist has become the fastest rising newcomer in hip-hop, scoring two Grammy® nods before the release of his debut album. Despite not being signed to a label, his first single “Best I Ever Had” reached #1 on Billboard Rap Charts and #2 on Billboard Hot 100. After an intense bidding war, Drake signed with Aspire/Cash Money/Young Money, and is set to release his highly anticipated debut album Thank Me Later on June 15. In April, Drake took home his first two JUNO Awards, while performing his single "Over". Drake is currently headlining his first major solo tour, the Away From Home Tour, which has sold out venues across US, Europe and Canada.

Hedley
Hedley fans last lost their minds when the band performed on the MMVAs stage in 2008, and the boys took home the most hardware that year, winning all major categories. Now, the Vancouver-based band returns to rock the stage on this year’s show. Hedley burst onto the music scene in 2005, and both their self-titled debut album and follow up album Famous Last Words are certified double platinum. Their third studio album, The Show Must Go, is certified platinum, and the album’s hit singles “Cha Ching” and “Don’t Talk to Strangers,” are double platinum on iTunes. A fan favourite, every Hedley video has reached #1 on the MuchMusic chart and the boys are sure to make this year’s MMVAs a night to remember. Catch Hedley on tour this summer and fall.

Thanks to Ashley Applebaum and Amy Doary as always for the releases to HipHossip.

“We in the noble warriors' guild of Marianas Trench are super excited to take a break from slaying Hydras and fighting crime, to come and fight for the forces of good on the MMVAs," said Josh Ramsay of Marianas Trench. "Expect the unexpected." You know my boy Josh has it going on during stage performances. I'm gonna paint my hair green that day.

"We grew up watching the MMVAs in Toronto's Beaches, a streetcar ride away from MuchMusic,” said Bucky of Down With Webster. “After being voted best Live Performance on MuchMusic in 2009 and touring North America non-stop, we can't wait to come home and play the MMVAs!”

Justin Bieber
Is there anyone in the world who doesn’t know who Justin Bieber is? He has, quite literally, taken the entire world by storm. From a humble upbringing in Stratford, Ontario, this 16 year-old has exploded (a gross understatement) onto the music scene. Both of his albums, My World and My World 2.0, have been certified platinum and both debuted at #1. And all of this done in the past year! Everyone has caught Bieber fever…just ask any MuchMusic viewer.

Katy Perry
Katy Perry's debut album, "One Of The Boys", was released on June 17, 2008, the same week that she began the relentless (45 gigs in 60 days) "Warped Tour", which coincided with the irresistible rise of her first single "I Kissed A Girl" to #1 around the world. During the next 18 months, Katy toured the globe - almost without a break, selling out clubs, concerts and festivals. She sold more than five million copies of her album, that included the follow-up hits "Hot N Cold", "Thinking Of You", and "Waking Up In Vegas", while amassing a roomful of awards. Katy is currently in the studio completing her second album – set for a summer release, and she's looking forward to performing the first single live in Canada on the MMVAs.
