The first 60-minute installment will premiere in June and feature British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, with appearances by Taylor Swift and Pharrell Williams.

MTV has always infused interactive pop culture conversations into and around the network's programming across all platforms. Moving forward, MTV is rolling out this short form dialogue on air, across its schedule and its massive social footprint of 188 million fans by injecting vibrant and captivating visuals and interstitial content that illuminate real-time news, events and trending topics.

Taking a note from Stephen Colbert who said "if you want to know where to invest, follow the gays," the 30-minute comedic "how to" series will underscore that it's not about having it all, but rather knowing what to do with what you have – showcasing to everybody, straight or gay, some of our experts' secrets for living a stylish life – from freshening up your home, to overhauling your wardrobe or planning the menu for a dinner party.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>MTV's 2014 Summer Premiere Schedule:</strong></p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>"9 Days and Nights of Ed Sheeran" – Tuesday, June 10 at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT:</strong></p><ul><li>New 60-minute documentary film that will take fans inside the world of British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, one of the fastest-rising stars in pop music today.

(NASDAQ: VIAB, VIA), announced today that the 2014 "Video Music Awards," the loudest and at times, the most controversial, annual live celebration of music, is set to make its triumphant return to the west coast when it airs LIVE from the Forum, presented by Chase, in Inglewood, CA on Sunday, August 24<sup>th</sup>. This year's VMAs will have the distinction of being the first major award show to ever take place at the historic "Fabulous" Forum. Continuing on the success of last year's #RoadToTheVMAs social media and communications campaign, today's announcement was made with a creative <a href="http://www.mtv.com/videos/?id=1726610&vid=1035114">video</a> (see below for embed code) unveiling the location of this year's show via MTV's various social media platforms including Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr. </p><p style="text-align:justify;">"I am thrilled to welcome the MTV Video Music Awards to the Forum in Inglewood. Since its reopening in January, the 'Fabulous' Forum has become the destination for music-lovers in Southern California. A truly historic location, and home to some of the greatest concerts and sporting events, the Forum is back, better than ever and ready to shine for decades more. We are truly excited to shine a spotlight on the reinvented Forum and our great city," said James T. Butts, mayor, City of Inglewood.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">"With its incomparable legacy as a world class music venue, the Forum is one of Southern California's most iconic entertainment landmarks," said Stephen Friedman, President of MTV. "The Forum has hosted some of the most legendary musical artists and performances ever seen and we can't wait to add the 2014 Video Music Awards to this list and create the type of memorable moments that music fans will talk about for years to come."</p><p style="text-align:justify;">"We are thrilled to welcome the VMAs to the 'Fabulous' Forum for the first time," said Sid Greenfeig, senior vice president, West Coast business operations, the Forum. "The VMAs are one of the year's biggest celebrations of music and entertainment. What better place to showcase this international spectacle than the Forum – a venue known around the world as having hosted some of the biggest names in music and a venue that continues – with the recent completion of its reinvention – to deliver an unrivaled experience for both artists and music fans." </p><p style="text-align:justify;">The "Fabulous" Forum reopened in January 2014 following a comprehensive reinvention which has resulted in a world-class entertainment venue that bridges its iconic past with today's state-of-the-art technology and amenities.

No other award show has been responsible for creating more memorable or bigger musical moments in pop culture history than the <em>MTV Video Music Awards</em>. From Madonna, Michael Jackson, Guns N' Roses and Nirvana to Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, JAY Z, Kanye West and Miley Cyrus, an appearance on the VMA stage can forever change the trajectory of an artist's career in one single night. </p><p style="text-align:justify;">To build anticipation for the 2013 "MTV Video Music Awards," MTV launched a successful cross platform social communications campaign, #RoadToTheVMAs, which featured the Moonman in a myriad of iconic locations throughout Brooklyn and NYC.

Conan masterfully film-bombed 50 of the biggest and most eclectic names in pop culture including Taylor Swift, Sir Anthony Hopkins, the cast of "The Big Bang Theory," Adam Sandler, Katy Perry, Andy Samberg, Jack White, Ashton Kutcher, Martin Scorsese, Demi Moore, Emma Watson, Russell Crowe, Paul Rudd, Jessica Alba, Lupita Nyong'o and Skrillex. Telecast from Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE, the evening celebrated fan-favorite movies with comedy, action, music and of course, Hollywood superstars. </p><p style="text-align:justify;">"The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" captured the most golden popcorns of the evening, with Josh Hutcherson grabbing "Best Male Performance," Jennifer Lawrence winning "Best Female Performance," and Johnny Depp presenting the star-studded cast with the coveted "Movie of the Year" award. The cast of "Entourage" reunited for the first-time on-stage to honor actor and producer Mark Wahlberg with the "Generation Award" for his extensive, diverse body of work in the film and television industry. Quintessential leading man Channing Tatum won the third annual "Trailblazer Award." Jordana Brewster honored Paul Walker with a heartfelt, personal speech that introduced a moving tribute spotlighting his career. </p><p style="text-align:justify;">Zac Effron won "Best Shirtless" award, just before Rita Ora helped him show the world exactly why he was worthy of this accolade. Conan mashed up two of the most popular award categories by debuting the first-ever "best kissing fight" with Will Arnett. Later in the evening, Orlando Bloom and Evangeline Lilly won "Best Fight" for "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug." "Best Kiss" went to the lip-smacking threesome of Emma Roberts, Jennifer Aniston and Will Poulter for "We're the Millers," while presenters Zac Efron, Seth Rogen and Dave Franco hosted their own kissing contest with two women from the audience, and even Seth Rogen's mom. Shailene Woodley won the first-ever "Favorite Character" award, which was voted on socially, for her role in "Divergent." </p><p style="text-align:justify;">The evening was also infused with unforgettable musical performances. Grammy® Award-winning, multi-platinum superstars, Eminem and Rihanna re-teamed for an emotionally charged first live performance of their #1 smash single "The Monster." Backed by a full piece band and a nightmare-come-to-life backdrop, the duo brought the audience to their feet with an explosive performance that blended dark and surreal imagery with raw emotion. </p><p style="text-align:justify;">Fresh from the stages of Coachella, Ellie Goulding and Zedd brought the Divergent soundtrack to life. Goulding delivered a stripped down version of her new hit single, "Beating Heart," featuring Zedd on piano. The DJ then took the turntables for a high-octane performance of "Find You" alongside Matthew Koma and Miriam Bryant. Surrounded by a masked fan army, MTV Artists to Watch twenty one pilots delivered a stark and haunting introspective performance of their new single, "Car Radio," which built to a pulsating crescendo.
