Jason Sudeikis ready with Twilight jokes

3rd June 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Jason Sudeikis has teased he has around "4,000" Twilight jokes in preparation for this year's MTV Movie Awards.

The American actor-and-comedian is gearing up for his debut hosting role at the annual film event, where popular vampire franchise Twilight has been nominated for a number of awards including Best Kiss and Best Movie.

Jason has arranged a number of jokes in preparation.

"We're whittling it down from about 4,000," he laughed in an interview with E! Online.

Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner have gained a legion of female fans for their roles as Edward Cullen and Jacob Black respectively, and as a result two fan camps' have formed under the names of Team Edward and Team Jacob. Jason, who is currently a cast member on comedy sketch show Saturday Night Live, insists he is "Team Bella" in reference to the character Bella Swan, played by Kristen Stewart.

"It's a genuine question, and my genuine answer is I'm Team Bella. The older brother in me just kicks in and I want her to be happy and follow her heart. She's the modern day Scarlett O'Hara, that one," he confessed.

The 35-year-old funny man has insisted he won't be baring any flesh at the event, despite his headline-grabbing nature. Jason has confessed however, he would never fully rule it out, thanks to the wise words of a certain 17-year-old pop sensation.

"I probably won't get naked," he revealed. "But if there's one thing I learned from Justin Bieber, it's 'Never say never.'"

Jason's co-star in upcoming movie Horrible Bosses, Jason Bateman, has also given his fellow actor some advice. The star has warned the host he should steer clear of alcohol the night before the big event.

"Just don't be hungover," he told him in an interview with MTV. "Be all you. Just make sure you're there and well rested, angel."
