No, she won’t be drunk. Well, actually maybe she will. But instead of crashing and burning on the corner of Broadway and 42nd Street, she’ll slowly descend from the heavens inside a ball as Whitney Cummings hosts the MTV New Year’s bash in competition with Dick Clark and Ryan Seacrest’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.
