I've got my suit, I've got my car, and I've got my script. But there's one thing I'm missing.
A date.
So we came up with the genius idea to head over to Playboy Radio, where Hef put out the call and sent down three beautiful Playboy Playmates: Qiana, Christi and Heather. When you're looking for a date, you can do a lot worse than picking from three Playboy Playmates.

It’s days like this that I really, really love my job -- days when you get to drive around Hollywood in a $250,000+ car. See, I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to cars. We prefer the term “car buff,” though. And as a Brit, there is no car nearer to my heart than an Aston Martin, a true legend on the road.
Anyway, while out here working on the MTV Movie Awards, I happened to strike up a conversation with a very cool gentleman -- Mr. Michael Artone, the general sales manager of Aston Martin here in the U.S. (a.k.a. THE MAN) and the guardian of a particular specimen of pure beauty: the Aston Martin Vantage.
Mr. Artone and I talked cars for a while (he loves cars as much as I do, especially AM's) and I finally said to him, jokingly, that I'd received a lot of perks in my job, but what I really wanted was ride around in the exact car that James Bond drives: an Aston Martin DBS.

With a not-so-trusty star map in hand, MTV News' Tim Kash takes to the posh streets and secluded back roads of Beverly Hills in search of celebrity cribs. Rollin' in an environmentally friendly Smart Car, Kash exposes Madonna's poorly tended driveway and sizes up Sly Stallone's heavyweight trash bins.
The MTV Movie Awards will air live on MTV on Sunday at 8 p.m. ET, with MTV News' "Coming Attractions" preshow kicking the evening off at 7:30 p.m. ET! Meanwhile, stay tuned to the MTV Movies Blog and MovieAwards.MTV.com.
The MTV family arrived in L.A. over the weekend, and already we've been hard at work shooting tons of footage. The big MTV Movie Awards aren't until Sunday, but there's still plenty to keep us busy ... after all, we are in LaLa Land.
First we hit up Rodeo Drive, where somewhere in-between the Dior and Prada stores, my producer Ryan came up with the rather bizarre idea of having me re-enact the "Do you work on commission? Big mistake... Huge mistake" scene from "Pretty Woman." Yes, unfortunately that meant I had to play Julia Roberts minus the white skirt, blouse and hat. So before I had a chance to think twice about it, I was pushed into the Louis Vuitton store while our shooter Matt secretly rolled the cameras outside to re-enact the famous scene. The hardest part: keeping a straight face. Read more...
"Indiana Jones" takes over TRL! That's right, on Tuesday, May 20th at 3:30pm EST, tune in for an entire show dedicated to everyone's favorite adventurer. As part of the show, our correspondent Tim Kash headed down to the home of a certain George Lucas. You'll have to watch the show to see our full tour of the Indy archives, but for now read an accounting of Tim's fun-filled day below.
Today I saw the strangest thing: Four grown men walked into a room and almost immediately turned into little boys — and one of them was me!
About two weeks ago, we got the call that everyone should get at least once in their life: an invitation from film producer George Lucas to visit his legendary Skywalker Ranch. Oh yes, it's true!
According to The Wall Street Journal, the 5000-acre Skywalker Ranch (only 15 acres have been developed) cost Lucas $100 million; it's home to one of the finest collections of film memorabilia in the world, most famously from "Indiana Jones" and "Star Wars." Read more...
We flew Tim Kash into LA last week to host our live Oscars preshow, and boy did that go swell, with our main Brit chatting up everyone from Jessica Alba to George Clooney.
But Tim's adventure didn't start or end just when the stars hit the carpet, which is why we gave him a tiny video camera to record his Oscars diary. Watch one piece of it below, and then click here to see our pimped out satellite truck, Wolfgang Puck go down the glitzy food selections, Tim's recap of Hollywood's (and his) big night and more.
So that was the Oscars! I feel shattered. What a night! I don't think the gravity of what we were about to do really hit me until we were literally 10 seconds away from going live on the red carpet for the biggest event in the Hollywood calendar.
It was the first time I had ever hosted anything like this. I've done live shows for years and my fair share of high-profile events, but what we did today was unprecedented. Normally, when we're shooting a red carpet event things move pretty fluidly, and if they're not you always have the ability to shut off the cameras and stop recording even if it's just for a moment. But not tonight! Tonight wasn't just any red carpet event, this was the Oscars and tonight we were going live for an hour with no commercials. Read more...
Destination: LA. It's work again. Some event called The Oscars...
I'm very excited. Undoubtedly the most prestigious and most revered of all award shows in the known universe -- and like most of you, I have been watching the Oscars on TV for as long as I can remember. There simply is no other awards show like it.
So what am I doing there? Well, I've been asked to host our Oscars preshow webcast live from the red carpet (7 p.m. ET on MTV.com). No script and no commercials: just one hour of Oscars fever with the biggest and best names in film. It'll be a very different style of show as we're going to take you further inside the Oscars than ever before with a true behind-the-scenes look at the 2008 Oscars. Read more...
Sometimes having a superhero around isn't enough to save you. This afternoon, MTV News was abuzz with a hot little piece of video gold. Our newest correspondent, Tim Kash, got a chance to spend some quality time with Chris Evans (aka The Human Torch of "Fantastic Four") when suddenly, out of nowhere...
Well, you should just watch the tape for yourself. Don't worry. Everyone's alright. And be sure to check out Tim Kash's own blog for his firsthand account.
Tim Kash continues to brave the streets of Los Angeles this week in anticipation of his co-hosting duties Sunday night for the MTV Movie Awards. Yesterday he took on the king himself, Elvis. Today he's mixing it up with a veritable pop culture dream team. Take a look below as he goes toe-to-toe with some big guns.
