No host? No problem!
Sunday night's 2011 MTV VMAs had the highest ratings for the show ever! The Los Angeles Times reports that according to Nielson Co., the audience was up 9 percent compared to last year's VMAs; 12.4 million viewers tuned in to the show -- which didn't have a host -- making it MTV's most-watched telecast ever.
