Katy Perry to Play Third Wheel to Rihanna and Drake at the VMAs

The 2012 MTV Video Music Awards are just one day away, which means preparations for stars’ arrival times and post-show Obama-watching are already underway. A rumored seating chart for Thursday’s big night has been floating around the Internet, and being the fantasy hostesses that we are, we’d be remiss not to comment on the decisions made by the party planning committee.

right next to Lil Wayne. Obviously, after the “Imma let you finish” incident of 2009, the VMAs have a permanent commitment to rolling out the red carpet to Taylor. Plus, she’s proven worthy of prime seating with her willingness to rap along to any and all live performances. As for the man to her right? It is, and always will be, very good to be Weezy.

Another given. Two single BFFs will not be broken up. There are outfits to comment on and eye rolls to dole out!

THEN AGAIN, KATY PERRY MIGHT BECOME A THIRD WHEEL.

Drake’s to her left (to her left), which is likely strategic on the network’s part to stoke rumors that there’s really something going on between the two friends and frequent collaborators. And you’re going to do that with Chris Brown in the building? Hope the Staples Center has a good legal team.

So much for The Wanted having desires to work with him. Just don’t let Breezy take you out after the show, boys. We always want you to be welcomed back into the U.S. with open arms.

Like Bridesmaids standout Rebel Wilson and the gold medal-winning gymnasts of Team USA. Hopefully he’s not tired of the dougie.

It’ll make sitting next to one another a lot less awkward. Unless they do have one thing in common.

A$AP WILL ALSO BE STARING AT RIHANNA’S HEAD.

Which is not a bad sight, no matter what color her hair is on Thursday. Such placement should be helpful in reminding them both when they’re supposed to head backstage for their cocky performance, but awkward if things onstage go poorly.

Seated next to Celeste and Jesse Forever star Andy Samberg, the Kiwi will be reminded of a certain SNL digital short from earlier this year.

Hmm. That’s generous of them.
