Justin Bieber and his girlfriend Selena Gomez hold hands as they pick up smoothies at the Shops at Liberty Place on Friday (August 19) in Philadelphia, Penn.

It was just announced that Selena will be hosting MTV’s Pre-VMA show live on the award show’s black carpet.

“I am very excited to be a part of the 2011 VMAs,” Selena told EW. “After all of my years watching the VMAs, the pre-show has always been one of my favorite parts. It is a true honor to be hosting from the black carpet this year.”
