'Buffy' to host MTV Movie Awards

Sarcastic comic Jack Black and comely "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star Sarah Michelle Gellar have been tapped to host the MTV Movie Awards show. \nMTV President Van Toffler said Friday he hoped teaming the outrageous comic rocker with the attractive vampire slayer "will make for an explosive and unpredictable show." \nThe music network encourages outrageousness during the program, with 2000 host Sarah Jessica Parker appearing clad only in a towel at one point, and Hugh Jackman and John Travolta accepting a dare last year to flash their bellies onstage. \nBlack, star of "Shallow Hal" and singer with the folk-rock duo Tenacious D, was nominated for an MTV movie award for playing a persnickety music lover in 2000's "High Fidelity." \nGellar played the part of an oversexed, conniving teenager in 1999's "Cruel Intentions," winning MTV Movie Awards for best female performance and best kiss (with actress Selma Blair).
